Only if that heat radiation would be evenly distributed - otherwise you would have a gradient which still results in duality of light/dark

There are also places that are relatively empty, which would result in a more typical darkness

Also, speeding everything in existence up to the point of luminance is kind of tricky, what with natural law and all

Hopefully both, and there's a Lie-O-Meter that determines how truthful a statement is as its being read, and then a counter of provably false statements made

Not like a here is a one in a billion outlier so the truth is a lie. If crime is down, but up in a small, specific area, the statement "crime is down" would be true.

Happy the Parks are getting this, but if be much happier if they always had this and we taxed the ultra wealthy appropriately.

Yes. Loud things make you cover your ears.

Bombs are louder than bullhorns? Okay you win the loudness competition, but people are still covering their ears for both.

It looks like the shot clipped a hill fairly close to the tank and it still hit the target.

Tanks are pretty niche in modern warfare, but holy fuck are they terrifying if you don't have the appropriate counter measures.

Which is perfect, because they are weird and don't actually understand what normal people think is weird.

So now they are weird and desperate, desperately claiming everything is weird - except it's only weird to them, which confirms that they are weird, which makes them even more desperate to not be perceived as weird, and continues to push them into even weirder territory.

A normal response to being called weird when doing something relatively normal is generally indifference/acceptance - but aggressively pushing back (their only play) simply confirms the accusation has merits.

Drown these weirdos in their weird behaviour, weird understanding of relationships, and their weird perception of the world.

The party of "Us VS Them" is slipping into "them" territory because the "Us" group will never own that label, and there is nothing they can do about it, because it's objectively true.

DOJ should go after right wing media for intentionally espousing disinformation.

Pull a scientology and file individual lawsuits for every instance of lies, disinformation, false narratives, inciting violence, pushing agendas of enemy states etc.

The biggest problem isn't police, it's that entire government's and media apparatus are solely focused on destroying America and are getting away with it consequence free.

Once we drain the swamp, the police rats won't have full political and media support for hiding their crimes and we can start making federal police reforms that actually have teeth for going after all these bad apples.

Throwing some Rapey, murdery police in jail is a start, but the national corruption runs way way deeper, and until that cancer is removed, real progress cannot be made as there will just be another game of musical chairs shuffling the problems around.

Always happy to see Vivi!

Bad optics, but having a bullhorn shouting in your ear is gonna make you cover your ears.

Doesn't matter if it's dead kids, or your favorite Simpson's quotes, bullhorns are loud.

I really really really wanted to like this game.

Very bad.

Did not like much of anything but the atmosphere which was fairly deadspacey and what I really wanted - but it failed everything else pretty spectacularly.

Maybe the PS4 pro just couldn't keep up, this game really wants you to melee but is also shooter based which makes combat for both suffer. The melee is extremely repetitive and entirely forced, and your shooting gets affected by the games desire for melee.

Also, the maps are incredibly linear and annoying to navigate but not in a challenging or fun way.

It's free so no danger of wasting money, but I always gotta shit on this game when I see it in the wild

Didn't they March in with victory day parade attire in their backpacks instead of a second round of ammunition, or rations?

Said or unsaid, even if the war was going exactly as planned, it's a shit war that's executed poorly and will destroy the Russian economy and likely end up losing everything they took, even Crimea.

Are you serious?

Work is fun in Germany, and one of the few occasions where fun is culturally permitted.

Efficiency and Precision are the children of Fun and Joy after all.
