in your description, what is the actual distinction between "retribution" and "deterrence"?

this seems to be devolving to word games. your use of the word "hurt" appears to be quite distinct from how "hurt" seemed to be used by the op.

i'm not sure i follow what you're trying to communicate. what do you mean by "get away from us"? also, framing things as "obstacle" vs "living person" seems like a false dichotomy.

some of this is the hostility immigrants feel from republicans and republican voters. as such, the gop and it's constituents contribute to (or perhaps even principally cause) this. the premise that all/most immigrants "are l

i suspect some or many of the reasons it's discouraged in js do not apply to kotlin. as we all know, js has... unique constraints in it's design. why is it deprecated in js?

for myself, the moba-ness was a neutral aspect. my disinterest really lay in feeling that the character design was quite dull and the visuals were generally uninteresting. but those impressions are from limited overall exposure.

game assets tend to be highly engine-specific things by their very nature. it can be possible to start from some raw assets when moving to another engine, but even then you may have, say, a character rig setup that's great in one engin

i don't think the grpc team pretends it's "new", and some presentations even mention (with humor) stuff like soap and corba (particularly the ones by ray tsang).

it's not strange if you're fond of the narrative being shaped as being more anti-iran than a broader context would necessarily support. media strategically omits a variety of things to support whatever messaging they're going

then your post was purely non-sequitur, as the syllogism's conclusion holds. there was no strawman.

there's more than the context of merely being an ally, it's being a "close" ally in the region; one with a history of direct and indirect conflict. nobody knows if saudi was involved, and i'm not saying they definit
