Man, the republicans really don’t like it when the shoe’s on the other foot, huh.

To you, and that “No colored allowed.”

Because this is not old news, if I’m posting an article that came out TWO DAYS AGO.

Anyway, you have a nice day.

Yeah, weird, how NPR got that so wrong, huh.

Check the date on the article.

And “new.” Oh, that’s funny. Please, check my posting history to see how “just new” I am here.

stopthatgirl7 OP , 11 months ago to technology in Armed with traffic cones, protesters are immobilizing driverless cars

Please check the date on the article.

Last I checked, “August 26, 2023” was not two months ago.

If you’d like to accuse NPR of being slow, go for it.

…Yeah, do you realize how bad taste it is to compare not letting cops in to Jim Crow discrimination against Black folks? Y’know, the people cops kill a lot?

I see what you’re trying to do, but…can you please not.

It’s completely acceptable to not want to hear about major plot points when a game has only been out a month or so, but folks getting mad about stuff that was in promo materials and you can learn before you even start the game proper have really got to recalibrate.

I want to play FF16 but can’t until it comes out on PC, in a good year or two. So am I on game forums or posts about FF16? Nope. I even avoid twitter threads (or did when I was still used twitter), after clicking on one and finding out about a character death randomly, that everyone there knew about because they were playing the game and assumed everyone reading it was, too.

If you’re going to a place where people are talking about a game, you had best be prepared to be spoiled. If you’re not, stay off them until you’ve played the game. You can’t police people talking about minor or funny events in a game they figure other people know about, just because you haven’t played it yet.

Like statistically the cops actually help in any of those situations.

And like the police aren’t the biggest thieves out there.

I just started Act 3, and yeah, there are some bugs with the dialogue, like Gale chewing me out for making a decision in a quest I hadn’t even started yet (I was very confused when he started chewing out my character for making a deal with a devil, a deal I had not even gotten offered because I hadn’t started that quest line, and I was like, “Wait, what?”) With luck, the next patch will fix stuff like this.

For some reason, my game really likes bugging out with Gale dialogue, like Gale acting like we were in a relationship when I had just turned him down flat. He now is benched and doesn’t get to come out anymore.

The date on the article is “August 26, 2023 7:01 AM ET”. That’s not two months. That’s why I’m grumpy.

We have very different ideas of “old news,” and feel free to block me if you don’t like what I post instead of complaining on two different posts.

stopthatgirl7 OP , 11 months ago to news in Armed with traffic cones, protesters are immobilizing driverless cars

It’s from two days ago, dude.

Facebook is serving up articles from 2018 like they’re brand new.

I’ve had people on here yell “spoilers!” over a thing you literally find out in a character background video in the character creator before the game starts. It’s wild.

I stand by my feeling that if someone is that sensitive about what they think is a “spoiler,” then they’ve really got to not click on anything related to the game, especially comment sections, where people talk about playing the game. It’s on them at that point, because most folks don’t define “spoilers” that broadly.

I’m so tired of tech bro billionaires who think they’re the only ones who can “fix” things.
