I would love if Valve made a rule against these spam guides
I hate these stupid guides so much. They inevitably get up voted and clutter out the more useful guides.

Yes, you see.. i want the taxes I pay to go to helping people. We could instead, say, stop giving as much to the DoD. We could raise taxes on corporations and close off shore loopholes.. you know, basic good governance.

I love not having to drive. And taking a convenient light rail or bus to meet friends at the bar is great.
My only complaint is my current city has a really bad issue with people camping out on the train cars, trying to do Google authenticator scams. Or I've had a few high as heck jerking off in the car.

If I go 2 days without coffee, my head starts to kill me. Definitely an addiction.

It turns out something can have multiple causes. A rising wave of bigotry and easy access to firearms can both contribute to someone being shot.

I'll probably regret this but..
There is a difference between "please delist things telling people to drink bleach to cure covid" and "remove this negative story of the government or else"
This kind of harkens back to the idea of shouting fire in a crowded theater. Misinformation, specifically about pandemics, or alluding threats against officials, can lead to a much larger issue.
Even Kavanaugh states that it is not uncommon for these requests to be denied by social media companies.
This does not cross into first amendment issues because the government is protesting the spread of misinformation, threats, or government secrets, but can very rarely compel something.
In your post, you mentioned Meta. Meta choosing to accept the government concerns is acceptable as Meta is a corporation enacting its own will. In particular, Meta chose to help stop the spread of misinformation in order to benefit society. Which sounds really wierd to say about Meta. It's the bare minimum, but still.
If you told Meta they aren't allowed to stop the spread of misinformation, you'd be then restricting the ability of a corporation to stop the spread of things such as hate speech, calls for violence, etc. Which a corporation could then be found liable for.
Meta as a corporation, has chosen to moderate that information, and users have agreed to that moderation when they chose to use Meta's platform.

Starfield Bug Forces Players to Change Gender to Fire Guns

I had a bug caused by the shipselling bug where each time I went through a load screen my gender and appearance randomized. So I can't even begin to guess how all the noodles are connected.

What ultimately annoyed me were a lot of small things adding up quickly. Or maybe small things.
Like quest and story writing across the board was just bland and bad in my opinion. I'm not a huge fan of multiverses as well either but that ones majorly subjective to people.
But things like the story between the UC and FC; who would agree to lock themselves to a few settled worlds in that much untamed space? And FC being cowboys of all things, really? I generally agree with story issues pointed out by people like PatricianTV and a few other youtubers who wrote essays on the issue of the story and setting.
Stories like the ancient generation ship had me super intrigued in the trailers but in gameplay it was just dull and empty. I could have seen a thousand ways that story could have been enhanced but they went with 3 options noone felt strongly for.
Quests across the board felt that way, just... missed potential and empty writing.
Weapon design was also... strange. They sounded like guns, sure. But they took a huge step back from the fo4/76 weapon design process that felt great. Modifying receivers to keep a gun current felt good in those two games but they decided on fixed damage values for tiers? And the designs of the guns themselves was strange. Some of them could not realistically move a bullet from their magazine to the receivers. Even in a scifi setting at least try to make a grounded design first, then add from there.

Not necessarily true. Sometimes a corporation is willing to continue with a bad choice in order to achieve some strange goal. Just look at Facebook absolutely going all in on Meta or Disney going ham on strange starwars choices.

You know that some of those people are still living paycheck to paycheck and are going to be in some hardships?
Sure. They can file for relief from the state and then pay it back later, but uncertainty like that is still horrible. And the time it takes to receive those loans can also cause issues like being late on mortgages.

Weirdly, I had a save corruption caused by selling a ship I stole. After new Atlantis broke, whenever I would go through a load screen my char customization would randomize. Sometimes I'd be a woman, sometimes a man. It was a wild time.
