    Not many people looking for this torrent. They're mostly looking for the latest movie/album release, not old youtube videos.

    From a new Minecraft blog post: If you don't make an account with Microsoft, we will take your game from you.

    microsoft is a trillion dollar worth company, i don't see why i have to treat them nicely

     

    they won't hesitate to screw people like me over, so i have no regrets about calling them out on their bullshit

     

    If you don't like it, just grab the Java version free... Microsoft really doesn't care about that happening. RTX is the only real reason to not get the Java version.

    Wow, that's a new one, saying the federal government and by extension the Trump administration are powerless to prevent disaster of this scale. That's... almost complete nonsense, actually.

    I see you're one of those that doesn't know how the USA is designed. The states have to directly ask for assistance from the federal government in the correct way, or any assistance/interference by the federal government provides can result in a state suing the federal government for extortionate amounts of money, and the state would win. EVEN IF IT WOULD HELP PEOPLE!

    That's absurd; the Trump administration has seemingly done everything that is in its power to sabotage an effective COVID response.

    Trump started out by saying that he could do nothing until the states requested it in the right way, and NO ONE CARED. It seems everyone thought it was a lie, or a trick, or something, or just completely forgot that he said that from the start. It doesn't matter what he said later, because IT'S NOT SOMETHING HE CAN CONTROL.

    The president and the executive were aware of the danger of the virus early on but chose to deliberately downplay it as long as possible

    Panic is bad, and considering how much panic happened for the previous coronavirus outbreaks that did effectively nothing, it wasn't a bad descision except in hindsight.

    in addition to denying the effectiveness of face masks

    That was all of the medical experts at the beginning of the outbreak, not just the politicians. Even Fauchi. You can probably find video of it if you're willing to dig through the shitstorm of anti-Trump propaganda it's now buried under.

    supporting lawsuits against state governors who did attempt to proactively combat the disease

    Which cases are you speaking of specifically?

    bumbling the distribution of medical supplies to the states

    Nothing new there... It took FEMA several days to get WATER to the superdome. That's not nearly as difficult to do as ventilators and quarantine equipment.

    and generally contributing to the politicization of the pandemic to the point where a lot of people see refusing on an individual basis to comply with measures to stop the spread of the virus as an act of support for their president.

    Some people are stupid. They still vote though, so ignoring them as a demographic can spell doom for a campaign. Trump doesn't ignore them, and he's the first to really do so.

     

    That said, the politicization happened equally coming from both political parties, and many independants all at once. It was politicized because of how the boatful of tourists was handled, and it escalated from there. It never should've been politicized like that, but it was. The media loved it. The more political and divisive, the more money the media makes, so they will gently twist the reporting to favor one side or the other for different meanings, which had a far bigger effect with this particular issue. Once they got a taste of it, they never let it go.

    Still I think it's important to address the issues brought up in this video like the fact/claim that above the board countries such as S. Korea and Japan were (and are) able to avoid both the brunt of an economic crisis and a high mortality rate while the US has such an extreme mortality rate and an economic crisis.

    The fact is that it's exclusively a state governing issue for all of the Coronavirus issues. The President literally has no control over it whatsoever. If you have issues with how COVID was handled in the USA, look no further than the state governors. Anything the federal government does regarding COVID can land them in lawsuitland for decades, which is something they're trying to avoid.

    Eternal Silence

    I 100% support playing this mod. It's slightly dated, but it's extremely well done, and with a little modding of the settings can easily handle 128 players on each side. (not total, each side, I've tested it personally with a low-end laptop running the server and playing the game at the same time)
