because they told their front line support to say "no comment" on matters unrelated to Shopify stores? it seems like they took the store down, which really has little to do with the influx of support tickets and calls they likely got. I worked support for years -- this is amazingly unsurprising and I think the correct move, if they did indeed take down the store that is.

Kanye made bangers dude. Let everyone else prove they were too moral and prescient to like such drivel 🙄
Halo 2 is famously the most difficult legendary campaign in the entire series 😅
are you playing on PC? I think you said you were. Have you tried using Steam's built in game recording/clipping feature? You coulda grabbed a sick cinematic clip of your flying chopper! Godspeed Chief o7
I leveled with him today and said that I was really disappointed about our conversation and I wanted to talk about it more. I approached them from a place of wanting to understand their position but also make sure they had all the information. I presented everything calmly w wide ranging sources from PBS to the Cato Institute. It's just a straight up bad idea to deport these people. I showed him that the Heritage Foundation had no actual fact or statistics on their website to support their claims -- just that illegals are illegal -- he found that compelling.
He ended up saying he was not super informed and that there's so much propaganda and information overload that it feels like we can't even know what's real. Everyone's lying or has an agenda. I totally get it.
We both got a lot out of it. I think it's worth it to try engaging with people who are actually willing.
I talked to a friend about the deportations and he said he "doesn't care" because they "broke the law." I showed how it will hurt us economically, how these people aren't committing crimes, how it will hurt real human beings. He said he didn't care. I don't know how to deal with that. This action will only create pain for everyone, hell even the elites may be minutely inconvenienced by it.... why are we doing it?
Some people are legitimately so simple that "no paperwork == deportation" even if it means death and suffering. Even when they know that the "right way" to come here takes a decade and is too costly. It's like humans have forgotten how to feel empathy. If I sat these people at the border and had them talk to the desperate mothers and fathers and children, would they be moved? How do you reason with someone that legitimately thinks "I don't care if people die over paperwork"
It feels like we're gleefully goose stepping toward "just following orders" and it's horrific.
My friend and I tried to do Halo 1 legendary as a duo. There's a level earlyish on where elites with invisibility and plasma swords flood your small room. After the second hour jiggle peeking those fuckers with plasma pistols, we finally cleared the room and moved on, only to enter a second room where elites with plasma swords and invisibility poured in 🥲
We have since given up lol
thanks! didn't know about that
it's offended developers who have been forced to make awful UX/UI for sure. i had to change mine back to an upvote :)
idk people have to agree in some smoky board room on the correct message and policy and run it by legal or something. i mean there are probably lots of ppl involved
