You can create a thumbnail with two very distinctly different responses with β€œBoth are correct” on the thumbnail, and people still think you’re arguing to be nice to fascists because they didn’t get through the first 2min of a video πŸ˜‘

6 days ago Liberal MP Vince Gasparro smeared and β€˜banned’ Kneecap from Canada (forcing them to cancel tour dates) just 3 days after meeting with an Israeli lobby group, using this bogus terrorism charge as reasoning.

Seems a public apology is in order.

I might be in the minority but I literally have the opposite reaction. No difficulty levels is an automatic knock against a game. The obsession people have with overly difficult games is absurd to me, I actively avoid them.
