Is it too political to suggest this may be considered a hatecrime to Gollum?

There are a whole lot of folk that plain demand full support of genocide as the cost of doing business/having rights. Reluctance to support genocide is viewed as eroding the foundation to their very way of life.

"I am not actually 'shoving' you into a locker Timmy. I am merely using mechanical force to shut the locker door through its hinges and simply allowing your body to find the path of least resistance: inside of it."

Asheron's Call hit up player housing early on too.

Compare to Brazil. They had a similar scenario play out with Bolsanaro. He was prosecuted and barred from office until I think 2030 for his stunt. It doesn't seem controversial.

There was a whole era of gaming from the late 90s to like 2010 where like a couple developers made something special, left, and then the company coasted on the code for a decade.

For me it was the Company of Heroes series.

If they can deny a genocide is occuring in Gaza they can deny that Bernie would have won with the same intellectual rigor.

All I ever saw were ads of Obama asking for five dollars. Everytime I saw it all I could think was "Damn this is going to piss people off."

The final days and weeks the Trump campaign hit the swing districts saying all the things people had been asking Biden and Harris to say.

Biden made sure there was no question there would be 0% chance of course change. Trump, being Trump, could shrug his shoulders one day and decide to change course. Higher than 0% but still probably 0%.

Dishonest politics, but that's how campaigns use issues to win elections. It sucks and we're all in for the very preventable ride now.

There's a classic greek play, Lysistrata, that tells a tale of women refusing sex to get the men to end a war. It is notably a fictional account.

Essentially the reference resonates most with college educated (white) women.

Unemployment is typically measured by people seeking unemployment benefits, not by volume of people out of work.

Similarly job creation is usually measured by job offerings and not positions filled.

As a result you can get what has been happening: low unemployment and high job creation where people aren't getting jobs and jobs aren't being filled.

But that would be gud politik.
