Trump doesn't know the difference between the Soviet Union and Russia.
Because that's what Putin wants his minions to believe.
Ukraine were largely the force that defeated the Nazis on the east front in WWII - not Russia. Both were however part of the Soviet Union at the time.

I'm sure New York Times made sure to poll few enough people to get what they wanted with their ... checks article ...
The margin of error in each state is between four and five percentage points.
So, Statistics 101, which surely no journalist has ever taken, says we can't say anything about anyone leading anyone else here.
Ok then.
Just clarifying for the ones who don't know: Element is a Matrix client.
You're absolutely correct. Since we stopped allowing hunting* the number of polar bears has grown consistently.
Historically, overhunting was the polar bears’ greatest threat. From the 1800s up through the 1960s, commercial and later sport hunters greatly reduced polar bear numbers. Populations rebounded in most places after the five polar bear nations signed the International Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears. The Agreement halted commercial hunting and significantly curtailed sport hunting.

It's on my new VW ID.7 in Europe at least. Drove during dark for the first time a few weeks ago and it was pretty amazing seeing the matrix headlights "sculpt" the light around other cars.
Distracting in the beginning, but you get used to it.

All of the statements in the claim need to be fulfilled - so while that if looks correct it's only a very small part of the actions described. Example:
in association with selecting, based on a selection operation,[...], wherein the boarding object is selected among a plurality of types of objects that the player character owns;
IANAL - but I've worked for Big Company and have gone through the patent process a few times. A patent isn't what's written in the supporting text and abstract. It's only the exact thing written out in the claims.
First claim from the patent the abstract is from:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a game program causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to provide execution comprising:
controlling a player character in a virtual space based on a first operation input;
in association with selecting, based on a selection operation, a boarding object that the player character can board and providing a boarding instruction, causing the player character to board the boarding object and bringing the player character into a state where the player character can move, wherein the boarding object is selected among a plurality of types of objects that the player character owns;
in association with providing a second operation input when the player character is in the air, causing the player character to board an air boarding object and bringing the player character into a state where the player character can move in the air; and
while the player character is aboard the air boarding object, moving the player character, aboard the air boarding object, in the air based on a third operation input.
Exactly everything described above must be done in that exact same way for there to be an infringement.
Is there anything newer than 2021 here?

No.
Climate change is real. We're currently causing changes that otherwise wouldn't have happened/wouldn't have happened as quickly.
But neither are we going extinct nor is the planet in any danger.
Let's keep to the science.

Southwestern USA had drought periods lasting hundreds of years in recent history. That's normal for the region. And we think we should pack a few tens of million people there and treating ground water as infinitely renewable.

Well I mean murdering someone breaks the very definition of libertarianism so you can be very sure they're just using that moniker because it fits whatever they're really trying to accomplish.
the maximum freedom for each individual to follow his own ways, his own values, as long as he doesn't interfere with anybody else who's doing the same.

But you're absolutely right that a lot of people who are today clearly cheering for fascists used to call themselves libertarians.
Oh nobody's denying that there aren't academics who easily fall for Russian propaganda. I mean, even Carl Sagan fell for the one where all this started.
That doesn't change that we now know better.

Today's nuclear arsenals won't kill billions. Russia is behind that propaganda.
