Yeah its etiquette, but i think its everywhere.

Idk where it comes from but it might be because most languages aren’t just spoken, but also gestured and its unnatural to hide your hands speaking.

Legally they are actually not allowed to use that, but i thought they might have used that so muricans don’t mix it up with Belgium. (although it’s not there) or they are just idiots.

Hands in pocket aren’t really a offensive thing in Germany and even less the A-OK gesture.

The hands in pocket is very complex though, it has to do with France occupation of the Ruhr area after WW1 and is more of a sign of rebellion. Before that it was used together with the uprising against factory owners exploitation and the start of unions. It basically means “im not working for you until you meet my demands” so not offensive in the common sense

Or to just incinerate everything alive like Crytech intended…

Oh wow how stupid…

Boris the undefeated!

Except for the final paragraph, it is very non-political, and easily verifiable to be true.

So it is untrustworthy. Shure the “fact” of this “news” is true, but thats nither newsworthy nor is it up to journalism standards. It should never be used as source.

I want to be clear that I do not condone or support using these types of sources, since it funds non-democratic governments, but simply dismissing all of their stories as “fake news” without any further critical thinking or fact checking is not correct.

I don’t call the news itself fake entirely, i say the news outlet is just not usable as source and should be avoided entirely because they will stage shit to influence people.

What is non political? What doesn’t want to influence you when it’s from a dictatorship government “news source”

Its not covered, there is nothing about the funding of the News, the contact info and mission they say they have isn’t saying anything about who funds it, for some “news” its pretty hard to find out who is actually behind them. Especially regarding topics about china or middle east, or climate change where big oil is literally funding a BS campaigns.

You should search explicitly for discrediting information about a source and then decide if thats plausible and important for the article you read.

It does invalidate the source. And its not exactly covered

Or people without a brain…

Addition!

If its financed by a less than democratic government or has ties to them the source is invalid.

How much is going to use resources mined by slaves and how many solar panels will be built by slaves as well?

Good we still have annas-archive.org the internet archive is sadly not enough for humanity.

🤦

Yes but depends on if the reports are processed automatically or reviewed by a human.

I don’t think this is “steam allowing it” and rather steam not being able to scan all the reviews for this shit.

Just a proxy should do the job

Most likely

Speaking the truth.

🤡 Bro stop existing. We can all be without this useless comment here.
