  • The FFXIV free trial let’s you play like the first 3 expansions (heavensward, stormblood, shadowbringers) without paying a dime and with no time limit (there are some limitations like how much in game currency you can amass and who you can private message). The downside is that if you buy the game you don’t qualify for the free trial anymore.

    Sadly the Steam version can’t be disassociated from your account so you’re screwed there. But if you really wanna try out the game then just make a new trial account, you just need an email address for it and that’s it. Just make sure you don’t buy the game on that account as that will void the free trial and ask you for a sub.

    The free trial is worth it for the content it provides with such little commitment.

    Edit: I forgot to say that the free trial gets updated so they add in a new expansion to it whenever they release the newest one. So for example when they release the expansion after Dawntrail the free trial will be updated to contain the first 4 expansions (heavensward, stormblood, shadowbringers and endwalker).


  • Since when does the US give a shit about International law. If they did, all their presidents after 9/11would be held up for war crimes.

    After the 9/11 attacks, the US brutally pursued those they considered their “enemies.” From early 2002, the CIA and the US military – with approval at the highest levels – kidnapped, unlawfully detained and tortured hundreds of people. The US torture program violated international as well as human rights law (including the UN Convention against Torture) – under the pretext of the fight against terrorism.

    The US use of armed unmanned aerial vehicles, also known as drones, as part of counter-terrorism operations began under President George W. Bush and was greatly expanded under President Barack Obama. The US uses armed drones to kill suspected terrorists overseas, including outside areas of armed conflict. In many cases the drones kill innocent civilians. The practice of using lethal force against individuals outside of any armed conflict, or – in the case of attacks conducted during an armed conflict – without properly determining their status (whether they are military targets or civilians) results in egregious violations of human rights and international (humanitarian) law.

    People acting like the US hasn’t been killing innocent people in countries they’re not at war with for the past 20+ years.
