You could have also referenced the abortion issue, where it's been proven without a shadow of a doubt that police are using surveillance powers to monitor women who are suspected of being pregnant and trying to terminate the pregnancy. It's literally already happening in one instance, which helps prove that you're very right in being worried about the things you're worried about. Because those things will surely come to pass as well.

CS:GO went free around when PUBG came out. Before that, it was a paid game. I'm one of the many who paid for it.

I wish I was good enough at Photoshop to add Geordi holding Data back.

I wouldn't go so far as "usually."

There's definitely at least a fair number of wheelchair users with great upper body strength, but I somehow doubt they're the majority.

A lot of people, when they end up a wheelchair user, fall deep into depression and struggle in their new, disabled life.

Source: Probably more depressing than it's worth to talk about.

Underrated Ghibli.

The ending is very melancholy (not that that's unusual with Ghibli).

Exactly, which is why the type of warning they're getting matters.

What's the actual warning? Is is the one about "do you really trust this file you found online?" or is it Windows Defender saying it's infected?

It could potentially recognize from the metadata that the files were downloaded from the internet, but I'm not sure why it would do it to just a video file.

I tend to get warnings for things I install from the internet, not just video files I've downloaded.

To be fair though, DOS and DOS2 are arguably far less popular games. They helped set the stage for this, but Larian knocked this one out of the park. Why wouldn't they do DLC if the DLC will sell well (it obviously would)? Sounds like a wise investment to me, based on current sales of BG3.

It jives with how they see Trump as a "Godly, Christian man." According to recent polls, they view him as more "Christian" than Mike fucking Pence.

I wonder if part of it is that belief begets belief? They believe in Trump because he believes so deeply in himself and they identify with that?

Especially because they don't actually make that much money from their online store as opposed to Amazon Web Services. That's the behemoth that keeps them chugging along. It should be a separate company.

Technically, now you have.
