That sounds awful socialist to me.

Something being a joke means it's [insert negative attribute] enough to be laughable, but it being a bad joke mean it's [insert negative attribute] but not enough to be funny.

Please, anyone who reads this, stop posting links to the mobile version of Wikipedia. It doesn’t switch automatically on PC, and I see it happen all the time. Just take the half a second to remove the “.m” from the beginning of the link, save everyone else from the pain of having to be surprised by it and taking the time to do it themselves.

I mean, she doesn't have to last too many years, she only needs to last long enough for either the fascists to be voted out or for her to arrested by said fascists as a political enemy.

I believe those never had a sales tax on groceries, at least at the state level.

The risk is that some unknown hacker discovered this vulnerability and abused it before the researchers discovered and reported it. It sounds like the company has confirmed that didn't happen, but they aren't 100% trustworthy in that regard, simply because they might have missed something.

The idea of it being numbered is that you are given your number when you vote to check against later, but nobody else is given that number so they can't tie the vote to you.

After giving such a bad answer to it that some other part of the government stepped in and said the answer was dramatically insufficient.

You might be allowed to pass a stopped school bus if the road has a concrete divider, but if there isn't one of those you are't allowed to pass it in either direction. Kids are stupid and will gladly run into traffic if they see their parent on the other side of it. Also, there isn't really a point in stopping traffic in only one direction, with cars passing on the other side you can't cross the road anyway.

I mean that you straight up cannot unlock new equipment, costumes, starting points, and the like while offline and/or disconnected from the game servers. IIRC the game just doesn't track stage mastery without a connection.

I don't think it's unreasonable to want a game that I paid for to remain functional long term. In my case I have a copy of the Hitman trilogy in my Steam library, and as it stands when the servers for that game go offline it will become nearly unplayable just because the unlock system is reliant on the publisher's servers. It would be easy for them to just release a patch as they decommission those servers to allow the unlock system to function offline, but right now there is no guarantee of that happening, nor any real reason to do so besides some consumer goodwill.
