My opinion is more nuanced than that and if you don’t see it, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s because you are facing a literal existential crisis because half the American government wants you dead. It’s very easy to lash out and take extreme stances when backed into a comer like this - it’s part of why I urged you to pick better battles so that you don’t alienate your allies.
I was pretty clear about Rowling being a piece of shit.
Do you pay taxes? Guess you love Nazis. Pieces of shit are everywhere and it’s not possible to boycott them all. Yes, this game is a luxury. Yes, you can still be a good person if you buy it.
Given Rowling’s existing wealth and influence I think the world is better off with the game than without it. It’s not like this marginal increase in money will allow her to create a disproportionate amount of hate she is not already doing. You are why people make fun of cancel culture. If you want allyship you should pick better battles. It’s possible to be intolerant of intolerance and still purchase this game.
And I say this as someone who never liked Harry Potter and thought the game was average (way too easy except for the very last boss fight).
I’ll let you think about it some more
Their party shouldn’t affect anything. Someone got cancer. You’re supposed to feel bad even if the person who got cancer is on the “enemy” team.
I find it interesting that the URL doesn’t mention her party affiliation but the title of the page now does. This leads me to believe that they added it in afterwards. They intentionally went out of their way to add what should be an irrelevant detail.
The View? Lol.
Something happening in fiction is not proof it happens in real life.
Estonian style LMAO
It’s level two they don’t need to pretend. It’s always the driver’s fault. What will be interesting is Mercedes level three turning itself off right before a crash.
There is some kind of trend where a survey or something happened and women said they would rather go camping with an actual bear than a man, presumably because the man is more likely to rape or kill them or something.
And when men say “what the fuck that bear is gonna maul your ass to death”, that is a gotcha opportunity to highlight how men don’t understand the constant threat women are under.
There’s no King of the Alphabet People dictating and controlling exactly how everyone behaves. You’re dealing with individuals who due to America’s (and other) shitty government are dealing with a literal existential crisis. This is a terrifying position to be in. Unfortunately I consider it normal and expected that in a situation like this for people to feel cornered and viciously protective of their safe spaces.
It’s not impossible to have a good faith discussion over the Internet. But not everyone wants to have those discussions. Not everyone wants to actually educate and recruit allies. Yes, notice I said “recruit” - it takes mutual effort to build that relationship, and that means both sides need to chill the fuck out and talk without alienating the other.
The problem isn’t necessarily “stuff not sent over vpn isn’t encrypted”. Everyone uses TLS. It’s more that you are no longer NATed behind the VPN egress IP. When governments want to assassinate anyone who touches a destination IP, having the true source IP instead of a VPN source IP is pretty helpful. For this to be practical you first need a botnet of compromised home routers… which they already have.
In a corporate environment, traffic that is VPN’d typically also undergoes better logging and deep packet inspection.

That user does not appear to be reliable. They were also advertising a zero click iPhone exploit and got banned.

I’m going down like a real man: tasting my own farts.
I think this is a technique for not dying of smoke inhalation during a fire. Sure hope someone’s coming to save your ass cuz you’re still in a burning building.
If there is a huge section of the population that writes in candidates, the person who would have won those votes in a ranked choice situation is motivated to enact rank choice voting.
If you don’t vote you don’t matter to anyone.
