We need fact checkers more than community notes. Because disproving a claim takes a lot of time and skill, and notes will be abused for financial and personal gain in the long run. Perhaps it is also better to use the word content moderator instead of fact checker, as finding the ultimate truth isn't possible, unless you just present a mathematical proof.

From personal experience susceptible people get paranoid schizophrenia like symptoms with cannabis use immediately, which should be a warning. From a scientific angle there are statistic links, but not a proven causal link. But we do know it reduces hippocampal volume which probably isn't healthy, and hyperemetic syndrome tells that it does have negative lasting effects.

Truth is, you probably should not do it, but likely it's not going to wreck you either. Nobody knows for sure what will happen to you.

Ubisoft had many long standing issues, but disowning The Crew users was the worst possible move they could have made in their already dire situation.

Imho the worst are those who crucify the patriarchy at every point, then a man chimes in to criticize calmly the words chosen are inappropriate for the given situation, or outright hurtful, then the radical anti-patriarchy combatants shut down that person as the most vile being they deserve to feel terrible. And that guy ill-adjusts, be it on a personal level of despair or combative misogyny, and the anti-patriarchy combatants continue their cycle, because clearly they were right from the get-go, men are misogynistic and don't speak about their problems. Rinse and repeat.

Please, don't be that type of anti-patriarchy fighter. It doesn't matter that you describe yourself as super leftist progressive, if you behave like crap and reinforcing the worst of stereotypes.

This only happened due to the shift to 50 gears. Have a 7-9 speed and it's sturdy enough.

Enough to make it sustainable so far. Of course Google still needs governmental oversight to stop these instances of malicious censorship.

With a random killing you might get indeed away, but murders are usually targeted. In case a deadly accident happens, and it can be proven the driver had a conflict with that person, it does turn the case around.

Murder is with the intention to kill. This would apply for using a car as a weapon as well and courts do go after these cases in practice, of sniping a target with a car.

But they are too lenient on deathly accidents with gross negligence.

One more reason to strengthen alternatives like Kagi, a paid search engine.

This assassin took out the CEO of United Care, an american health care provider with denial rates very far out of industry average.

They shouldn't be used as such, but frequently are. It is even more difficult to distinguish between disagreement and insufficient argumentation.

Those generalizations are harmful indeed and should not be tolerated as it breeds Us vs. Them mentality. Just asking the person not to be offended when they have every right to be with "if you are not part of the problem" is the modernized "I am not racist, but" and "No, I meant the other type of foreigners, not you". Misandry is a thing. Just because one comes from a misogynistic surrounding, doesn't mean other experiences are suddenly not real.

People bound by unhinged radical feminists, and I do mean the Crazy-Karen-On-Video crowd, mutter every other second a misandric sentence. Of course this crap erodes your self-worth. You are literally being demeaned for absolutely nothing. Speak up to shut them up. If women find the energy to speak against harmful notions like, so should everyone else, if they see inacceptably demeaning behaviour which differs fundamentally from appropriate criticism.

 

Edit: Official Riot confirmation the Asus Xonar audio driver is blocked due to a cheating exploit by user Baconspleet who received following statement by official support: "... the driver is indeed blocked by vanguard as it was reportedly being used as a way to cheat. In this case, I'm afraid the only option to have sound in the game is a hardware upgrade, though that is understandably, not ideal."

As Valorant players with all kinds of Asus Xonar sound cards have noticed since the 9.x patch series, the support for these devices has been dropped and the game will no longer function acceptably. After roughly half a minute, the entire system, not just the game, loses its audio output. Reddit user /u/travishenrichs has contacted support and received following statement: "In order to protect the competitive integrity and security of our games, some pieces of hardware are not supported with VALORANT and will not function properly with the game. Having said that, this is something being looked into by our QA team, but I can't provide an ETA at this time."

Since this critical bug is known for half-year, is not fixed by 9.10, it is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon as the doubtful support response suggests. I hope software developers avoid situations such as these to avoid forced obsolescence of hardware devices, as these devices do function correctly on Windows 10 and 11.

 

Farming now PvP, it is obvious how the casual mode absolutely needs matchmaking with a hidden skill rating. The outcome of the match is decided by specific people in the team and there are idlers, afk'ers and other not so great players which could be filtered out had it matchmaking.

 

spoilerAmon doesn't spawn Ice behind which you can hide for Curtain Call wiping the party. You probably can cheese it with massive DPS.
