You're greatly stretching the definition of fascism here. You're more describing fascism roleplay than "non-evil fascism".

I don't know if it makes sense for it to tell you a discount assuming you don't want any of the other games, but it would be preferable if it at least told you prominently in the wishlist it was a bundle. I feel like I remember being in this situation before.

Sure, if you read a book and never tell anyone you did it you aren't participating in fandom. My point was more about people who continue to be "Harry Potter fans" and explicitly do participate in fandom (posting about it, writing fanfiction, whatever) despite not wanting to support Rowling.

The argument goes that while pirating doesn't inherently support the author, continuing to participate in fandom perpetuates the cultural influence that the author has in society and can encourage others by proxy to go spend money on the author's work.

This works if you trust every program you run with silent root privileges. Sure, don't run untrusted code in general, but I think it's generally good practice to lock down root privileges as much as possible. Layered security and all that.

The docker command doesn't have to allow you to run commands as administrator to function properly. You can simply leave the docker group empty and run docker commands via sudo. Using the docker group is essentially equivalent to enabling passwordless sudo as far as security is concerned.

Except as written, it's only a path to knowing who all children are, not the adults who are usually the ones advocating for taxing billionaires. Sure, they might change the law, but that doesn't make starting it this way any less bizarre. I don't understand what reason there would be to make it harder to make a child account than an adult account by only IDing children.

"Daddy issues" isn't a kink term, and entirely refers to having a poor relationship with one's father. I think you mayhe misread their comment as claiming it was a kink term?

The whole disagreement is that they think its lightly misogynistic to say that the only reason to engage in CG/l, or diluted versions of it like calling your partner daddy during sex, is because you had a bad relation with your father. In other words, using the term "daddy issues" at all was the issue, and you doubled down in this comment.

I know a fair number of conservatives who are fiercely capitalist and are very concerned about tax policy/abortion/gun rights, but are ostensibly pro-trans, pro-queer, nonracist, often pro-immigrant etc (incidentally, the ICE stuff seems to be a wakeup call for a lot of these people). They often vote for people who actively harm those very same minorities, but they personally have no issue with those minorities. I guess they just consider their personal wedge issue more important than minorities' lives.

Idk if that counts as "nice" by your metric, but they can be very nice on a personal level, it's just when it comes to voting that they have very skewed priorities, in part due to the way we've all been propagandized to. Talking to this sort of conservative can be very frustrating because often they'll have so much empathy one moment and then the next they'll just fall back on some tired conservative cliché.

Unarmed strikes with kicks and elbows and such aren't just flavor, it's written in the rules that you can use any part of your body.

Instead of using a weapon to make a melee attack, you can use a punch, kick, head-butt, or similar forceful blow. In game terms, this is an Unarmed Strike—a melee attack that involves you using your body to damage, grapple, or shove a target within 5 feet of you.

The mechanics don't state you need a free hand anywhere.
