Hence the desire for a single player offline version of the game...

Not everyone believes that devs are the authority on what makes a game fun, which is why mods are so common on PC games.

but that's part of it, just like irl.

Some people might not want annoying aspects of IRL in their fantasy escapism games involving roleplay...

That's the part I always hated. It was hostile towards people who liked the lore but didn't want to group up with some guy named LaserButt4000 who didn't want to go to the same dungeon as you, but was happy to get your rare loot in a bad roll of the dice.

Private servers with scaling for dungeon soloing were a godsend. WoW is actually awesome as a single player game. It's unfortunate the devs never realized that.

This is a misleading perspective. Why would you need to codify "settled law?" SCOTUS had ruled that it was a constitutional right already so you wouldn't need a separate law.

You're also ignoring Casey. It wasn't just Roe.

They also don't typically say they're "pro-abortion."

The infographic states "facts" that weren't relevant at the time.

Malice and arrogant ignorance can have the same functional result and at least malice would involve them being honest with themselves. Arrogant ignorance is worse because they're judging and harassing you with their ignorance but think they're saving your soul.

A democratic republic is a representative democracy.

Some of the universities mentioned in the article are public institutions. SCOTUS held in Healy v James that the 1st Amendment applies to public universities. So some of the actions could be considered 1st Amendment violations.

Except these restrictions prevent speech, not harm.

That's a false dilemma. There's a middle ground between allowing only approved speech and allowing any speech whatsoever. And we already make that distinction. Fascists don't believe in free speech and threaten the rights of others through threats of violence, which isn't protected speech. Likewise fraud, libel, slander, blackmail, false advertising, and CSAM aren't protected and are considered harmful.

Driving predictably. Millions of people do it every day and it prevents accidents, which saves lives.

The people who could have possibly predicted that were also fired.

If I have to wait for an employee to unlock an item, I'm just buying it somewhere else, whether it's online or another brick and mortar that doesn't make me beg to spend money there. Same with stores that have passcode locks on their bathroom doors. I'm not asking a retail worker for permission to pee.
