The best thing about online games is the opportunity for Mats, and others like him, to be who he truly was. Once you find the right group of people, it doesn't what color your skin is, what's between your legs, what your physical advantages/disadvantages are. All that mattered was your character and your determination. And you aren't limited by your geography even. You can interact with people all over the world and enrich yourself along with enriching themselves by providing a brief glimpse in each others lives. It's actually a beautiful thing how many stories there are like this one there are out there. Games like WoW enabled Mats to be the person who he truly was before he passed. It's a bittersweet moment for the parents. I hope it gives them the closure they need.

Please tell me this is a joke. I legitimately don't know if it is or isn't.

Bernie is always on top of these things, and you have to respect him for that.

Polls have consistently found that the majority of the public supports an end to Israel’s genocide; a poll by the Institute for Global Affairs released this week found, for instance, that a majority of Americans think the U.S. should stop supporting Israel or make support contingent on Israeli officials’ agreement to a ceasefire deal. This includes nearly 80 percent of Democrats.

Even though 80% of Democrats are for this kind of bill watch, the majority of Congress vote against it, including the Democrats.

Republicans on Tuesday assailed the hearing, with outright denials about the impact abortion laws have on the medical care women in the U.S. have received, and called the hearing a politically-motivated attack just weeks ahead of the presidential election. Republicans, who are noticeably nervous about how the new abortion laws will play into the presidential race, lodged repeated complaints about the hearing’s title, “How Trump Criminalized Women’s Health Care.”

If you're worried about how your policy will look like at time of election as it will be overwhelmingly unpopular than maybe don't defend it and change policies?

I truly hate what Conservatives have done to politics in this country.

Why is working towards a cleaner and better environment such a controversial issue? They've turned the political landscape into an outrage theatre on what pisses people off the most.

For those of you wanting to get into falconry and worry about this happening to you. Don't worry. It's a very rare occurrence, happening perhaps once per millenium.

A member of what appeared to be a largely pro-Israel audience policed Gibney’s language, interrupting the producer to clarify that Netanyahu had not yet been found guilty. The attempts at seizing control of the narrative, both on screen and off, didn’t end there.

Don't you love when people make this argument? "Well he isn't actually convicted of blatantly committing war crimes. Just well known for it."

The incriminating evidence in the interrogation videos have already been leaked and reported on by Israeli media. But the videos will never be shown to the public (at least legally) in that country. According to Gibney, Israeli law grants privacy to subjects who have been photographed in official proceedings, which would make publication of the footage illegal. “It’s a peculiar law to Israel [that] doesn’t affect the rest of the world,” Gibney said.

Good thing the internet exists.

First post here that kind of fucked me up for a moment.

The problem is Russia has the very real capability of really screwing up a good chunk of the world before they get wiped off the map. It's kind of scary if im being honest.

Ivy sure, given what's happening with our climate I would agree.

Harley is just a straight psycho.

I don't think they were calling the Taliban less than human. Rather commenting on how the Talibam view women as less than human.
