TopicThe GOP is in kind of an electoral death spiral

It seemed like GOP leaders were hoping to let the Trump documents thing run its course and get him out of the picture, because he's had far too much (negative) influence on local races, resulting in moron / inexperienced candidates tanking in the polls.

But the problem is that the documents story is a slow trickle of worsening info, and it almost seems like the Democrats are goading the GOP into more openly backing/defending MAGA types. Problem is, that brand is deeply unpopular (as is their stance on Roe v. Wade) and the more they're pasted to it, the worse they're going to do. Thanks to the MAGA influence, they've doomed themselves with Oz and Herschel Walker, among others. Instead of a red wave, there's a very real possibility the GOP will lose the Senate split and may not even win the House.

Joe Biden's speech was low-key brilliant because he knew the knee-jerk response for the GOP would be condemnation and circling-the-wagons. The problem is that they're circling the wagons around a disaster they were trying to avoid. So now you have McConnell stuck in a weird position - he's publicly said that he wasn't happy with the quality of the GOP candidates (which is a roundabout way of saying he wants to move on from Tump) but now everyone under him is bitching up a storm on social media to defend "MAGA republicans."

The polls don't lie - not only is MAGA deeply unpopular with independents (and of course Democrats), a surprisingly large number of Republicans have started veering away as well. A recent poll showed that 30% of the GOP thought the FBI was justified in raiding Trump's property. That's actually an astonishingly high percentage of dissent for the GOP, especially going into midterm elections.

The XBone version allows mods. Not to the same degree PC does but TC can use the UOP at least.

For the XBox version you can look it up on the Mods option in game. It's not CC, it's free but it's a separate download.

Often, but not always. There are legitimate, non-"I'm hiding something" reasons to plead the fifth even if most of the time it's just people trying to withhold evidence of their crimes.

ME3's ending is fine (Extended Cut version, not going to stick my hands in the original and don't care about it anyway because the Extended Cut ending is very well established as canon).

The ending is intentionally ambiguous on a number of points, and that's fine. Is Sheppard really dead in the best Destroy ending? Is Starchild real? Is Sheppard indoctrinated (partially, obviously not fully)?

With regards to "choices don't matter," they do matter. That's what the rest of the game is for. As mentioned by another poster, pretty much every major side arc is resolved in some way during ME3 even if the ending mostly doesn't touch them.

There's also the complaint that the ending "doesn't make sense," but it makes perfect sense. If you've been paying attention throughout the series there's nothing I've seen in the ending sequence that doesn't make sense. Ambiguous bits, sure, but the overall narrative is fine.

So if they actually held it there, do you think Russia would keep invading and possibly attack members of the show?

I would think they would pause the invasion out of fear of killing non Ukrainians and drawing more nations into the war

But that depends on if Putin is still thinking logically or not
Russia would likely attack anyway and it's unlikely other countries would do anything, since anyone there would be considered to have taken the risk by being there.

I scoff at those who think companies give a shit about user consent when it comes to data sharing.
Oh, I don't think they give a shit at all, they just found it would be more profitable for them to do so. Doesn't mean it's not beneficial for the consumer.

"Advertising networks using SKAdNetwork 2.0 or later also have access to Source App information, which identifies the specific app from which an installation occurred. This allows advertising networks who run advertisements on apps they dont own to identify which app should be credited with initiating the download."

This says nothing about user data, only about crediting the advertising network and app for views/downloads. The tool doesn't give advertisers access to individual device/user identifiers.

Here's the question: if this is really about privacy, than any iPhone app using Apple's tool should also request consent. Does it?
No, because it doesn't contain any data identifiable to the user or user's device.

Oh okay, this was a change to force ad companies to use Apple's proprietary tool as yet another attempt to strangle the last bit of relevancy out of their ever dwindling market share.
They're not charging for it, and unless they do start charging in the future I don't see how this plays into your conspiracy theory. Say what you want about Apple, but forcing developers to obtain consent to share user info is nothing but positive.
