"Defensive gun use" is horseshit. Statistics clearly show that owning a gun increases the risk that anyone in the household (including children) will die by homicide, suicide or unintentional injuries. The amount of successful defensive uses of a gun pales in comparison to the number of preventable injuries and deaths that gun ownership brings.

There's the PEGI complaints board where appeals or complaints can be lodged by consumers and publishers. Recently Balatro did so successfully, as the 18+ rating for gambling was overturned by PEGI.

Note that PEGI is the games industry regulating itself (to avoid governments from having to do so).

I was not making any judgement about the socialists, nor was I only referring to that party.

In this case the rating agencies do, which Valve then follows.

I have a feeling the pope knows, but that he doesn't think it matters when it comes to matters of morality. Death from above is still death from above, pretty clear-cut for the (supposed) "thou-shalt-not-kill"-crowd.

They don't play well with any leftist parties, not necessarily the socialists (who are iirc pretty center these days). LFI is quite abrasive.

There's also the idea that since the system "works" it shouldn't be changed. IIRC Le Guin did some stories on a place called Omelas that explored a similar idea: there's this utopian city, but they chuck a child down a hole to suffer there, which for some arcane reasons is deemed as necessary. Once people learn of this, they either accept it as indeed necessary or (rarely) leave.

A utopia only works if everyone thinks of the same thing as being a utopian society, which people generally just don't.

They ask each time because they don't want to store the data themselves if they don't have to. With this, they wouldn't have to.

Netanyahu claims Iran has these missiles, but Iran disputes it. There's also no publicly verifiable evidence that this is true. UK intelligence also does not think Iran has such capabilities.

Besides, Iran has been only weeks away from nukes for 30 years, I'm sure they're only a couple miles off of hitting the UK as well /s.

Even then, I doubt Iran wants to trigger a UK military response to any missiles sent to the mainland.

Eh, I quite enjoyed the first game, and at least it seems Mojang has some plans for the portal at least. I wouldn't be surprised if some variant of what's going to be in Dungeons II will be added to the main game down the line.

They clutter the overview screen. If I'm done with an app, I want it fully closed, not lingering in the background somewhere.

Same reason I close browser tabs and not rely on Firefox to unload them.

This is a hitpiece, imo completely the wrong tone to have this discussion in.
