Actually a lot of them don’t. It’s weird but a lot of polling has found that a big chunk of Trump supporters somehow believe that all the outrageous things Trump says are somehow just for show, or are sarcasm, or just a joke. I’m not talking about the maga hat, rally goers, but the more average Trump voter who says “the economy” is their top voting issue.
Trump couldn’t win a national election with just maga. Somehow getting the more normal Trump voters to believe he might actually do what he likes to talk about doing, might really help.
If the argument is that SM2 is successful because it limited it’s scope to execute a smaller number of features well, I don’t think that holds up. It took on three different types of games and (imho) executed merely okay. What more could they have added? Open world? MMO?
I think the more plausible explanation for the sales is that it’s Warhammer, it’s pretty, and SM1 was good.
Who praised them? But I don’t know what measure we’d use to determine the general reception of this particular feature. Particularly given that almost all video game journalism is mere marketing. So that’s probably not a fruitful point to argue over.
Instead I’ll offer the things that I think earn the competitive multiplayer a poor rating.
Space marine 2 seems like a good example of this.
Single player campaign: mediocre
CoOp missions: mediocre
Competitive multiplayer: poor
Seems like dropping one of those might have allowed the remaining two to earn a “pretty good”
Schopenhauer? I dunno. Maybe Friedrich Hayek.
Probably not. What about fetuses?
Has there ever been a repeat mass shooter? Is the risk of recidivism really the right theory for understanding the incarceration of mass shooters? Even if we broaden the question to whether juvenile mass shooters are likely to commit other crimes, is that even true?
Very similar story for my 1.5 year old. Visits to the ER for steroid nebulizers two nights in a row. We were never kept for observation, but that may be because he’s older. I don’t think croup is supposed to last long. We had two bad nights and got better steadily for another week until it was over.
But yeah croup is nasty. We thought he had inhaled something and was choking the first night.
Sure I guess if there’s a fire, or at least believe there’s a fire. Hard to figure out who’s deliberately lying to start shit, and who’s just gullible and vocal on social media.
In case the post title makes anyone think that it is the title of the painting, Beksinski didn’t title any of his drawings or paintings.
I think in the context of legislation, interpreting “let pass” to mean “allow to be signed into law” is understandable. But I see you just meant it chronologically.
“let pass”… . is there some major confusion about how presidential vetoes work here, or what do you even mean?
Lmao what is this edge-lord shit?
“Big” is not a negative adjective. “Truck” is not (mostly) an identity or demographic group. You’d have to make up some term like maybe “murder trucks” to get close to an analogy. Would you not suppose that someone who advocated against “murder trucks” thought trucks were bad?
“Crowded” - maybe mildly negative. “Places” - not an identity or demographic.
“Toxic” - Ok. “People” - This hardly seems like an identity or demographic. Maybe if martians start talking about “toxic humans” we’d have an analogy.
And that whole last paragraph is just a straw man.
Let’s consider some real analogies.
“Poisonous Hinduism” “Virulent Femininity” “Malignant Jewishness” “Destructive Liberalism” “Pestilent Blackness” “Dangerous Queerness”
I literally just looked up synonyms for toxic and picked random identity groups. Could you imagine trying to make any of these phrases academic terms?
I don’t think either PBS or NPR has been “bought” by anyone. They’re both still non-profits owned by their member stations.
