I was quite worried for a moment because HL is Half Life and damned if some dickhead MRA is going to be a VA in my precious Half Life game.

But it was just some Rowling bollocks, so at least he's only tainting shite.

In the replies you can see what a charming life he's led against his ex partners. Revenge porn, restraining orders, and apparently took his speaking appearance at a con to traumadump on the audience and told all the mentally ill people in said audience to stop taking their medications and go to his website where he can provide counselling instead.

Very normal stuff.

This was the guy who dressed up as one of the characters he voice acted, and then delivered a monologue in character lamenting the cancellation of the voice actor who plays him.

Cullen was a bit of a husbando figure so I think in his warped perception of things he thought that doing this would get his female fans on side to defend him? Instead of course it just brought more attention to his lovely behaviour and turned them all against him.

I don't think there's anything specific about it that it couldn't be made kosher if it were supervised and certified, but shoving food in something used for religious purposes would be a deliberate desecration regardless.

Looking forward to her menorah stuffed with cocktail sausages (item #1488) until the whole franchise devolves into a subpar Boris Johnson novel.

Governments really want to be able to read your dms. There's a proposed European Council law banning encryption services that's so broad in scope that it could potentially make open source software and OSes illegal. Obviously wouldn't happen because that's would impact on the entire global IT infrastructure but still the sort of thing that briefcase nonces are determined to legislate on without even understanding what the thing they want to ban is.

They've specifically said that off the shelf phones and messaging apps that use strong encryption won't be affected, because otherwise that would be every phone except 20 year old ones that can be cloned by someone sat outside a train station with a laptop.

lol that they're also gunning for 'pill presses' with the same legislation though. Failed at war on drugs? Time to piss off some animal feed manufacturers!

Listen buddy, we all got problems!
Yeah every iPhone and Android from the last decade is encrypted by default. And most of the messaging devices have gone end to end encryption.

So what they seem to be after is the off the shelf custom phones designed to counter surveillance and sold to people who can't figure out how to just flash a custom ROM. Often sold at huge markup or as part of a subscription.

The FBI/Europol just took over theae companies and ran them themselves

This approach of banning off the shelf encrypted phones to halt crime is like banning flick knives/butterfly knives to halt stabbings. It worked so well.

I used to live in a 15 minute city, it was loving amazing. Every city should be more conveniently laid out and have major amenities like a university, hospital, shops, parks.

Best thing about it was it was technically a city, but was a medieval city so more like the size of your average town.

Sunk life fallacy

Honestly I think it's something closer to: "All those good things would be good, but we can't have them, because I've had/my children will have to live without them because of the choices of the politicians I voted for, and if they've lied to me and actually we could have had good things, my world will fall apart. Therefore good things can't happen"
