But… this isn’t fake?

I figured since you were being critical of Trump, we were on the same page. The bot skipping that first paragraph paints this whole story in a different light.

A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that the Biden administration most likely overstepped the First Amendment by urging the major social media platforms to remove misleading or false content about the Covid-19 pandemic, partly upholding a lower court’s preliminary injunction in a victory for conservatives.

The bot summary skipped the first and most important paragraph.

Free Speech absolutism is fucking insane. You shouldn’t be able to have your voice amplified while saying demonstrably false statements. There’s a difference between a person being ignorant of the truth of what they’re saying, and protecting the company that chooses to ignore empirical evidence against the factuality of statements that are spreading on their platform. Why is libel/defamation only open to lawsuits if it harms someone’s ability to make a profit? Why is public safety or civil/political unrest not also a concern? Fucking capitalism.

I own this game. I really wanna like it. It’s beautiful! My issue is that every time I sit down to play it, I feel like the game is 95% dialogue, 3% walking around town, and 2% action. Every few months I pick it up again, hoping it was only dialogue heavy for the intro. I still haven’t made it out of the starting town, but I’m several hours in at this point. Does it ever let up with the incessant paragraphs of middling exposition?

Is it a lean, or is it wider at the bottom?
