I’m not sure how the game engine can incorporate such fine detailed mechanics. It almost seems like it’ll have to be reworked from the ground up, with only the assets being maintained.

I mean half life alyx’s entire mechanics revolve around VR controls.

I’m doing my part.

Why?

No. No they’re not. They are not evil. This is the problem with the entire debate on abortion. Not everyone that is pro life leans with destroying care for the living. It’s not a black and white argument. Unfortunately the law is black and white which is leading to deaths. Deaths that they need to understand is the cause of the Supreme Court decision

I’d like to see more statistics so I can argue the effect of this with more conservative people in my family. Unfortunately statistics like “deaths related to abortion laws saw 56% increase from 2018 to 2022” when Dobbs decisions was made in 2021 isn’t exactly a strong argument to show that this decision is leading to deaths and not related to the effects of covid.

And before you argue with me, trust me you can’t convince them that a fetus isn’t a life. They will treat a fetus the same as a newborn baby. So unless I can prove to them that the law hurts mothers who want the baby I won’t convince them the law is unjust, and abortion = murder.

I need to show increase in maternity deaths, unviable births, miscarriages leading to death, forced births leading to deaths. I need to show how this law actually hurts people who want children.

This isn’t an argument about choice. The idea that a woman can terminate an unborn baby at will cannot be used as an argument here. There is no consensus that a “collection of cells isn’t a baby”. Remember that the same people who want to ban abortions also want women to have sex with a partner that is willing to have a child, unplanned pregnancies being part of that journey.

I just narrowly won over that contraception should be medically available.

That it’s a pretty niche movement and not sure the purpose of it? What are the women doing associating with men they plan to practice this 4B celibacy with?

I wonder how hard you need to prove anything if the judges issue sentencing without needing much of anything.

What have you read about Bernie that justifies your outrage against him? Because he’s done none of that.

Hi. Working tradesman. I still voted blue even when the 4 years under trump were mostly better for me than under Biden. Of course most likely coasting off of Obama’s era. But I got no relief under Biden. I pay $20k a year for my Healthcare and still have to pay thousands a year out of pocket for visits. My family in Ukraine is still unsure what’s going to happen in the next year. Many of brothers in my local are unemployed now during the hardest time to pay to live. We hear the record profits the corporations made and swindled the working class dry so we can eat yet there has been no relief. How did making 6 figures for a family of 5 turn into almost living pay check to pay check.

I’m ok with sacrifice if it means others get the help they need. But I don’t think anyone got the help they needed. We sacrificed for no benifit to anyone but the elite, and we are continuing to be ignored.

This is what Sanders is talking about. And I’m afraid of what Trump is going to do for many Americans. For my Ukrainian family back home. For my neighbor who is Taiwanese. But recently I’m more worried to keep food on the table for my kids. I don’t even care who won anymore. I have election and political fatigue. I did what was asked. I keep doing what everyone thinks is right. But I’m burning out.

I don’t think any country in the world has been in the position America is in. Similar sure, but not the bastion of wealth and power, with a stubborn population. There would be a civil war before they remove democracy. It’s more likely that elections will be a front to the fascist seats of power. The elections aren’t going away. What they mean is a different story.

You can argue American elections have meant nothing either.

Yes. Yes there will be. Even if everyone who voted for Trump is OK with it if you think the rest of America is just going to be ok with dismantling elections you’re being irrational.

Dude there’s a 5 million vote difference in the popular vote. I don’t think the mail in vote is going to change that

The narrative will get twisted for anyone’s advantage if the media continues to be influenced by political parties.

It was just common because no president wanted themselves in a position of fighting court battles for poor decisions they made in office. Of course this set the standard both ways, by letting both bad decisions made by good and ill intent slide.

And then the supreme court wanted to make it clear by setting it in ink that it’s ok.

There is absolutely zero evidence that any of his actions will result in any jail time. There is evidence on the contrary though, that through 2 impeachments, however many court cases and legal battles, fines and fees that may not have been paid, that he’ll get away with it all.

I can’t imagine the votes she’d gain for denouncing the war on Gaza would be bigger than the votes she’d lose for going against Israel.

Your heart is in the right place. I’m right there with you, but I voted Harris because the system doesn’t count my heart being in the right place, the two party system doesn’t acknowledge me. My vote won’t matter much anyways, since Seattle is going blue no matter what. But blowing up the popular vote to make it clear Americans don’t want trump meant more than a lost third party vote. But next time, as long as it’s not Maga on the ballot, I don’t want anything to do with big Dem.

I’ve chomped all my kids. Cuteness aggression is a thing.
