Why would anyone bother learning both Vim and LibreOffice when LibreOffice supports every file format Vim does, and more?

Because Canada has the trashied oil production of the world. It's all oil sands.
It's better for the environment to import petrol from the US rather than produce it "locally".

Caesar is actually described as having a "neutral" karma. He doesn't think he is evil, since people he gets killed are all barbarians anyway. Let's say he just favor order above all.
I mean, sure, the legion is portrayed as the bad guys and the game don't give you that many occasions to get to know them, but if you search for some lore about Caesar, the legion can look like a valid option without playing an evil/bad karma character, just like any other faction.
Also, Nipton had it coming anyway.

Well, it would be a bit unfair to talk about "European" games and "Asian" games, and on the other side "USA-made" games.
There are three countries in North America, we should at least include the two others.

You're right it was only published by Ubi. The Fractured but Whole was developed by Ubisoft*

Fallout, Wasteland, The Elder Scrolls.
Also smaller games come to my mind, like Child of Light or South Park: The Stick Of Truth which are made by Ubisoft Montreal.

I certainly hope so. I stopped caring about them years ago for other reasons. I simply saw that story over the news when it happened. But I could argue that it still took them the departure of their social media manager to realize what they were doing. If she just left without talking about her experience, who knows how they would be today.

I suggest you read about QueerSatanic. TST is known to sue anyone who criticize them. So much for the freedom to offend, I guess.
About the separation of church and state, they haven't achieved anything. What they fought for is not secularism, but plurality of religion, which is just as bad as nothing - they actually pushed for more religious symbols in public space, instead of fewer. About reproductive rights, or their activism in general, some people fear that they might be causing a second satanic panic, which can only end poorly for satanists all around the world, and give fuel for christian to think that abortion leads to hell.
And as a religion, you can realize that lot of things TST does is un-satanic to begin with; they are martyring themselves and proselytizing. At some point, they are doing the exact same thing they denounce from the christians in the US, like fiscal advantages for churchs and reaching children through an after school program.
If you want a simpler reason to not like them, just know that as a non profit organization, they are not sharing their finance records, which is usually a big red flag. If you want to give to a non-profit, you should at least know where your money is going. Plus, some local branches of TST are actually disaffiliating from the main organization because they don't like how it's managed. Finally, there are already organizations that are fighting for everything TST claims to stand for, without the religious cosplay and all the shit around them.

Why is the formal one naked?

At this point it could also just be a phone app.

Intrusive thoughts are thoughts coming by themselves about bad things when you are somewhat close to a violent or dangerous situation.
For instance, if you give a baby to someone with intrusive thoughts, they could momentarily have the idea of hurting the baby, even if they don't intent to. Or such person standing near a cliff or up a bridge could have the sudden urge to jump (often called "call of the void"). Or, someone with intrusive thoughts seeing a train coming at full speed in front of them could have sudden thoughts about jumping over the rails.
But who knows. Maybe it's just me.
