I hate being that cringe guy in the comments posting FD quotes, but this one is such a banger

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress

Europeans need to be reflecting on what kind of leadership they want to replace the US now that they've started stepping out.

For all the chaos they're causing, especially in regards to this conflict, it's not a bad thing that the US is losing geopolitical relevance. I just wish I had any confidence that something better would come from it.

Now is really the time for people to be organizing.

"DA says"

A little misleading without the quotation marks

IIRC Borderlands 3 scales the value of loot to the game's difficulty setting, with some mechanics aimed at encouraging players to join online coops at high difficulties in order to earn more valuable loot. I imagine cheats undermine that intent, and I also imagine borderlands 4 might be aiming at a pay to play scheme.

I'm guessing this EULA is being used for all their IP with the intent of taking advantage of it in the future.

Others have already weighed in, but:

This warning doesn't seem to be persistent. Using ublock/regularly clearing cookies seems to keep this at bay. Sometimes it helps to open new links in container tabs as well.

I got this earlier this week and clearing my cookies/using container tabs seems to reset it.

Maybe we're actually using the 'generous in amount; ample' definition of liberal instead of the 'not strict or literal' definition - as in, 'we're exercising a liberal amount of authority' 🤷‍♂️. I guess we'll never know

I don't mean to be rude but I think you're confused.

Liberalism doesn't represent an axis on any political compass, it's a loose collection of political ideals that more-or-less follow a Locke-ian philosophy of 'personal liberty'.

"Authority" is very commonly the Y axis on most of those compass memes, and generally speaking it describes an abstract concept of power over others. Liberalism's placement on that axis is pretty dependent on the poster's understanding of what authority is and who wields it.

Anarchists see authority far more broadly than simply power as exercised through the state, but any type of power wielded by any person/group over another including capital's authority over workers. We reject 'liberalism' because it not only permits authority to be exercised through the recognition of private ownership, but it enforces that authority by lending its monopoly on violence on behalf of capital. Some liberals might acknowledge this dynamic but they'll still reject abolishing those structures. That's why 'liberal' isn't really coherent as an axiom, because in the best of cases it represents a middling position on 'authority'.

Just associate Liberal with Freedom

Lol. LMAO even. I'm fairly certain that every 'group' on your compass would consider themselves to be the true representatives of 'freedom', and none would consider themselves 'authoritarian'. Anarchists regard all states as authoritarian, including and especially liberal democratic ones.

The invention of the 'political compass' meme was an act of terrorism: change my mind.

Jews and Muslims have had many extensive periods of peace living together (including in Palestine before the state of Israel). The story of Islamic-Jewish hostilities is actually fairly recent and shorter than you'd expect.

Antisemitism as we know it today is mostly a European export to the Middle East.
