I dunno, it kind of seems like these powerful Democrats don't actually want to extend the moratorium but aren't willing to admit that.

Biden is just trying to wash his hands of the matter. They all are. If everyone blames some conveniently non-specific other, then its no ones fault really! They wish they could help, but its really the fault of the states or Republicans or whatever.

The only people who really care are the ones on the Capitols steps. The ones demanding a Dem trifecta take responsibility, postpone their vacations, and do everything and anything possible to avert the oncoming catastrophe or fail trying.
This.

Male characters are also good looking and sexualized; why is this only limited to women?
There is far more diversity in appearance for Male characters across the industry than for female characters. Mario is one of the most popular characters of all time, not just in gaming. You also have characters like Sonic, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Rayman, Megaman, and so many other male characters that aren't designed to be attractive.

Like, no one is forcing you to shill for the status quo and whine about cancel culture, and I can't imagine being a conservative makes you happy.

Why not instead join one of the political groups that's trying to make the world a better place? Liberals are kinda lame, but why not be a leftist and join the fight against oppressive power structures that are cucking the working class? Dismantling capitalism is a serious challenge, but imagine how satisfying it would be to watch rich sociopaths like Bezos be stripped of their power!

Or you can just continue being a pawn for the ruling class. Maybe you prefer to lick the boots of the cops and play defense for the leeches on Wall street.

I've thought about the absence of N64 Virtual Console in recent years, and I have to wonder if Nintendo is worried that those games could cut into the sales of their first party titles and their numerous third party and indie titles. I can definitely say that I'm playing a lot more indie titles on the Switch than I did on the Wii. Most gamers can't spend most of their waking hours playing games so they have to be selective about what they play.

If you say so!

If Disney really wanted to, they could probably bring over some characters and actors from AoS without making the show itself canon. Like, if Gabriel Luna's version of Ghost Rider were used in a MCU story with an altered backstory, would anyone really be bothered? People who saw AoS S4 would just be happy to see the character return, whereas everyone else would just see him as a fresh addition to the MCU.

I think we can attribute the high level of moral depravity throughout so much of human history to the awful living conditions that humans have had to endure throughout most of human history. People are shaped by their socioeconomic conditions.

It is infuriating how many gamers are oblivious to their own misogyny and bigotry. And just to be crystal clear, I'm talking about bigotry against fat people and in general people who deviate from conventional beauty standards (which is almost always women).

You NEVER see male gamers complaining about Kratos being made "uglier" for GoW4. Why? Because most male gamers are also straight and many view women as sex objects, not people. Tons of popular male characters in games are not conventionally attractive, but those straight male gamers only ever bitch and moan about female characters not being attractive enough.

Note that there's an important distinction between leaders and rulers. The former can be part of the same class as the people that they are leading, like a ship captain that coordinates the operations of the crew of a ship.
