Bier plus hot minus dogs = ?

Can someone help with the equation?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

:lol:  My kid used to play it near-obsessively, but slacked off to only joining when his school friends were on.  Now he's hardly playing at all.

All I've seen of it paints a disturbing picture.

I've heard of it, but I never really cared to look into it.  For some reason games were I get called "Fag", "Nigger", and "kike" by teenagers just doesn't excite me that much anymore.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That is any online game that allows players to communicate.

Yeah. That's a big reason why I don't play online games much anymore.  If I wanted children to scream "MAGA, you fags!", at me.  I'd just go outside the city limits and drive around the county with a "I'm with her" T-shirt.

I loved playing World of Tanks on the test server, where there was only one worldwide server, and the suffix in the user name helpfully identified US and RU players.  Nothing gets you closer to the visceral hate and disdain Russians have for Americans as they work through their inferiority complex.

Remember the Minecraft craze among kids from years ago? That's Fortnite now, except way more ubiquitous.

At risk of sounding like a Conservative. Minecraft was a lot more wholesome too.
I've heard tales from people with kids about how fortnight has them behaving.... Big contrast to the Minecraft stories of getting kids interested in engineering et al.
