If true and I had to bet, I'd go with Stephen Miller

All this needs is an amogus fella hidden in one of the blocks to add some more spice for future peoples

Ahhh I see from the coverage I've heard on this it seemed that people were thinking her appeal was her last chance and if she did go to prison then there's no chance she'd be allowed to live. That she'd be doing all this going after appeals and a presidential pardon with the "if you don't give me this, I'm going to tell the world all I know" angle. I guess maybe she could have done that but they called her bluff and threatened her back and she decided living the rest of her life in a comfy prison was better than death? I dunno, correct me if there's reason not to think that

Please excuse my ignorance but why is that? Genuinely curious

Enjoy "committing suicide" in prison, you demon

Are so many USians just completely incapable of bringing up Trump in every single place they possibly can? Not trying to be a dick or anything it's just so tiring, especially as someone not in the US, to have to see him brought up so often when there's really no reason to so much of the time

Mate can you actually read? I replied to your comment to push back against you expecting Greta to be standing up on a platform and immediately talking about all of this stuff to the world when she's going to be very traumatised. And that she would be whether what the article says is true or not. That's it. Nothing else

My whole point has been about that, not about the article and it's accuracy. The only times I've said anything about the latter is cos you keep somehow not understanding that I'm not talking about the accuracy of the article and bringing it back up again. And even then the only thing I really said in response to that was pushing back against you saying The Canary is niche when it actually isn't really. And also telling you to read it, seeing as you clearly hadn't from what you've said in replies. You didn't understand entirely what you were arguing against in the article and now you're not understanding my point at all and have somehow gone off thinking I'm saying things that I'm not

Hit & Run was also fantastic

I just don't see how coming back to the setup of the first season would be a good idea. It was a masterpiece, I love it, but where could it actually go? I feel like it's just going to be yet another of the masses of mostly badly done remakes and reboots at the moment cos the TV and Film industries are struggling with original ideas and have for a long while now

Also obviously I don't know if they'll do the same kinda vibe as the first season but I'm not sure if it would go over well these days? Like the darkness of it, sure, and the philosophical pessimism could to an extent but if they do it as it was in the first season I think it'd just come across edgelordy and a bit cringe nowadays. Especially seeing as it really didn't do female characters well at all, they were mostly just there to "get in the men's way" or want their dick. I could see it getting labeled as "the incel show"

If you can't understand why someone wouldn't go out in front of the world and make big statements in line with these claims, or any statement at all, immediately after a very traumatising experience then you really need to work on your empathy and understanding of basic human emotion. I understand your skepticism, to a point. I just gave a very obvious reason why she hasn't talked about the harrowing things she went through in detail to the public straight away, whether they are as is said in this article or not. Even thinking about them is going to be very difficult for her, nevermind doing what you're expecting

Edit: Taken out a sentence that isn't relevant, as I thought you were the OP of this comment thread before

I'm not a chatbot, you can read the article yourself and find out these things. I haven't insisted the article is credible. Go back and read what I wrote and you'll see that

 

Apologies if this sort of post isn't allowed. So I've given BG3 a go two times now. Both times I've been excited and expected that it's likely something I'll be into. But I get down to it and I just lose steam with it pretty quickly

I was wondering if there's a point early on where it takes a big jump in engaging you and I just didn't get to that point? I didn't really get that far past the starting "spaceship" area (not sure if I should call it that), so I know I haven't given it that much of a chance. I know there'll be many places that are a lot more interesting throughout it

But I dunno, it just doesn't keep my attention. The gameplay doesn't feel that great for me personally. So if it's kinda just more of the same in terms of gameplay, just with the (no doubt) great plot unfolding and better surroundings then it might just not be for me. I mostly play soulslikes, which is obviously pretty different gameplay, and I struggle to get into most games not in that style. I just really wanted to like BG3 so don't want to write it off without asking this. Not saying it's a bad game or anything, it's clearly a masterpiece, but might just not be my thing
