I'm strongly considering a temporary mute on ANYONE who posts this crap.

The farthest I'm able to understand this phenomenon is: gossip.

Am I really supposed to believe she's surprised by Russian piracy?

>encourage people to get the better product by increasing the price of the worse one
I'm sure this can be a valid argument for some stuff (EU kinda did this with light bulbs, only it completely forbidden tungsten filament ones instead of just taxing them or increasing the price). But using it for medicine, when even the "worse" drug is still efficient at saving lives, is evil.

If you're a Half-Life fan, here's a mod you should play: Entropy: Zero 2.

It's a mod for Half-Life 2, about as long as Episode 2. Mostly uses familiar weapons, but also brings back some beta concepts (and uses them very well). Has good original voice acting and a great story that for now fits with the canon. Very much feels like a Half-Life game.
You can also play it's predecessor, Entropy Zero, but it's not a requirement for the overall story. Entropy Zero is a much less ambitious project than it's sequel, but still fun. Both are available on Steam.

*minor spoilers*
*you were warned*
You play as a combine soldier, so you get quite a different experience, with different enemy types. If you're a HL veteran, you're gonna see the return of a few old alien "friends" that will try to maul you. You're also gonna encounter some basic Portal puzzle elements. Not anything too hard, but if you're completely unfamiliar with it, you might be confused one or two times.

Don't want to give any story spoilers, but I'll add this: do the "gnome" achievement. It's easier than in Episode 2, and it's worth it.

Americans might be getting fatter and fatter, but I don't think that holds true for America itself. This map doesn't seem to be accurate.

Considering Biden took bribes, I'd say it makes more sense that US forces, under Biden's orders, did it. And Biden himself was threatened into it by Ukraine.
And I think Ukraine is currently more concerned about getting support in the war than profits from gas transport.

@djsumdog the nation that stands to gain the most from blowing up those pipelines is ukraine. the nord stream pipelines threaten ukraine profits because some russian gas is also piped through ukraine to europe. nord stream pipelines bypass that.

probably no coincidence that biden took bribes from burisma which is an energy company in ukraine

the worse the energy crisis is in western europe gets this winter, the more desperate they will be and more likely to hate russians for cutting off the energy

@djsumdog
My personal theory isn't entire original, a bit inspired from Fallout 3, but here goes: it was the aliens in orbit around Earth, trying to get humans to start up a nuclear war.

They're selling to children, aren't they. Cause otherwise I can't imagine would need a loan system to pay for £6 vape.

TFW you dreamed that a video game with character customization had presets to play as various youtubers, including people like Sargon or PSA Sitch. Oh, and the game was an AAA.
