The police like to use the argument “are you near any police in any fashion? Then you’re interfering”.

This one in particular is owned by the public, meaning the Berlin state government can control who is on the board and appoints the advisory committee.

So, yes, it is essentially state controlled.

So, what exactly does Minecraft (one of the primary games mentioned in the lawsuit) do to cause this? Because that seems like a major outlier compared to the other listed games.

It would help if the lawsuit was actually focused on lootboxes, microtransactions, and the like as harmful gambling.

But it doesn’t. The lawsuit claims video games themselves being good creates an addiction.

I mean, individual IDF soldiers have been uploading this sort of thing to their social media the whole time. They seem perfectly happy and proud of such footage.

It certainly is more mask off this time around. They aren’t trying to hide behind euphemistic slogans like “ethics in game journalism”. Now they are just blatantly open about their anger that women and minorities are being represented in games and how that’s a bad thing.

I find myself today unable to upvote or boost anything without immediately being sent to that maintenance page.

Edit: Oh, also, I just realized that I myself can’t see upvotes on any thread and every thread also lists as having “0 comments”. I have to click into the comment section to find that there are indeed comments.

That also applies to my own posted threads, which I am not receiving any notifications about for comments posted. So I probably won’t even see your or anyone else’s reply to this comment.

I’m just glad to hear that you’re (mostly) okay, Ernest. I was worried.

But…they don’t? Their mainline games are always a few years apart (with the exception of Bloodborne, which they had a separate team doing concurrently).

Unless you’re referring to the other games they publish that no one really knows about or comments on? I don’t think Metal Wolf Chaos XD, Déraciné, or Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airou Village DX should really factor into the discussion.

Probably referencing a meeting Biden had with the presidents of Mexico and Egypt recently and he mixed up who each of them was.

Hamas was not the one that killed her. And they weren’t using her as a shield whatsoever. Israel killed her AND targeted the ambulance they were fully aware was coming to save her, since they agreed to let it go and get her, but then killed the paramedics when they got there.

There’s a reason why a bunch of poor people in inland Florida, which would be becoming close to beach front property within the century, are being evicted and bought out by rich people and companies.

Sadly, we don’t care anyways when non-white people (or children) get killed here as it is.

By retweeting the new Human Rights Watch report, which ABC itself wrote an article on two hours prior to her retweet?

What sort of restriction could that at all violate?

ABC journalists have threatened to walk off the job as the wrongful dismissal case launched against the broadcaster by radio host Antoinette Lattouf escalates.

Also on Wednesday, a federal Cabinet minister was drawn into the dispute.

About 80 employees at the ABC’s Ultimo headquarters in Sydney cited concerns of “outside interference” and issues in its handling of complaints against staff as the dispute escalated beyond Lattouf on Wednesday.

“MEAA media members at the ABC today called on managing director David Anderson to urgently meet with staff and address growing concerns about outside interference, culturally unsafe management practices and to stand up for journalism without fear or favour,” the media union posted on Twitter on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, secret texts from a private WhatsApp messaging group emerged, showing discussion between Lawyers for Israel members, including a call to action to pressure Anderson and ABC chair Ita Buttrose to sack Lattouf.

“It’s important ABC hears from not just individuals in the community but specifically lawyers so they feel there is an actual legal threat,” one message reads.

“I have basically written to them and told them I expect a proper response, not a generic one, by COB today or I would look to engage senior counsel.

“I know there is probably no actionable offence against the ABC but I didn’t say I would be taking one – just investigating one. I have said that they should be terminating her employment immediately.”

Another read: “Why is the ABC allowing this woman to host a radio show?” and a member responded: “Exactly, which is why we need to stamp it out.”

Ten days after that Facebook message, he was fired from his teaching job in Petach Tikvah municipality. Less than a month later he was in a high-security jail, detained to give police more time to investigate critical views he had never tried to hide.

Inside Israel, veteran journalists, intellectuals and rights activists say, there is little public space for dissent about the war in Gaza, even three months into an offensive that has killed 23,000 Palestinians and has no end in sight. “Make no mistake: Baruchin was used as a political tool to send a political message. The motive for his arrest was deterrence – silencing any criticism or any hint of protest against Israeli policy,” the long-established Haaretz newspaper said in an editorial.

I see no word to describe this other than fascism. Trump would love to have the ability to do this (and seems like he plans to with his “one day dictator” claim).

? The video is right in the middle of the article.

We all know that tanks have a will of their own. We in the US are very familiar with “The gun/bullet killed him”.

And this was a drone strike, meaning it was targeted and controlled on what was being hit.

So the bullshit from the IDF at the end of the article is just that, bullshit.
