Allah is “the god” in Arabic and applies to the Abrahamic religions. Similar to Algebra but also has a contraction with the Al/“the” part.

I haven’t played it much because I didn’t get that far but I did watch some gameplay and it’s basically the paper game but with guardrails so you can’t do illegal stuff. Supposedly it’s also possible to build meta decks as a free to play player if you use your free currency well.

Legacy of the duelist might be a better choice to jump into on PC because its single player even though its a bit older.

It’s almost impossible to break into yugioh at this point. The people playing it today are mostly the same people who kept playing it since childhood. The powercreep is so bad that it’s all a sequence of different “archetype” decks that do their own specific thing and if you’re not familiar with each one, you’re gonna have to do a lot of reading either on the spot (great gameplay experience) or get a master’s degree in yugioh on your own time.

Card text length, phrasing, esoteric rulings etc all make it very inaccessible unless you’re willing to devote a lot of time to the game. I came to the conclusion that’s it’s not worth it for me right now but you could try playing some of the older video games to gradually learn the new mechanics and cards and then spend time in Master Duel if you’re willing to put in the time.

Sure, framing it as mandatory wholesale support for x,y,z is disengenuous the same way it would be to call someone who is not vehemently against the United States as a concept in its entirety a bigot due to their current persecution of racial and LGBT minorities. Multiple things can be true at once but when you zero in on specific injustices that nearly the entire world exhibited just 2 decades ago and apply the same standard to people experiencing very different conditions (for example, people who have only known conflict for their entire lives and have not had the same opportunities that rich, safe countries have had) then it comes off as dishonest or at the very least just very myopic and ill informed. Should those injustices be criticized: yes. Are the people pointing out the perceived hypocracy doing it because they genuinely care about LGBT people impacted in those countries: no. I don’t agree with all perspectives expressed in the other direction but I understand why they exist when we exist in a space where certain people are painted with broad strokes while others are afforded infinite nuance in their positions.

You’re engaging in bad faith just like the post itself is doing.

Would suggest you skip paying for the DLC here because it’s not as good or as fleshed out as other borderlands DLC

Very reminiscent of the Beirut port explosion of 2020

2 things to note: They want to deport him to Syria or Algeria and not to El Salvador so hopefully he remains free at least.

The judge making this assessment is part of the executive branch and not a federal judge and made it on very literal terms (spineless and ethically bankrupt but not the final decision). Secretary of state said hes is a threat to US foreign policy in writing therefore he can be deported as the law states that he can be deported if the secretary of state says he is a threat to US foreign policy.

Roughly the same as the percentage of people who said they wouldn’t mind becoming a US state. We have elected officials who are open to the idea because they are ideologically aligned with the Trump admin.

Having to pay for basic online services for games you’ve already purchased for a current gen console is exploitative to begin with

Claimed. Thank you

Keep in mind this isn’t the first time Israel struck Lebanon since the start of the “ceasefire” as they have struck dozens of times since then but the first time anything came from Lebanon at all. The source was determined to be from 3 small makeshift wooden launchpads in a field by the Lebanese army.

18-24 usually gets grouped together for census and survey stuff so you got a good year left in the tank before you’re part of the 25-44 crowd

It refers to either a limited time reward structure where you pay for the ability to earn rewards such as cosmetics or other perks in multiplayer games such Fortnite and Valorant (If you don’t earn the needed XP within the designated timeframe then you may not even get those rewards you paid for) or access to DLC content in general for both single and multiplayer games where some functionality/maps/modes are gated behind a single or recurring payment.

Biden sent $8 billion in weapons immediately before he left office and Trump reversed the pause on 2,000lb bombs and sent $1 billion immediately after taking office

You clearly don’t care about whether or not 2,000lb bombs were available and in use. You just care about whether a performative gesture was made.

And they clearly never ran out of 2,000lb bombs to use. They just happened to need some more now.

Yup, he just sent them at least 14,000 of them before doing that. More than all other bombs combined according to leaks. 2000 pounds bombs were in use in September in Lebanon.

A lot of Dearborn’s Arab population is Palestinian and Lebanese and had/have family at risk of being killed. You know when those 2,000 pound bombs get shipped to Israel they actually get dropped on people and kill them, right?

You’re a low information voter
