Did you expect… to see him win first and THEN for the DNC to sabotage him? Would that be the only way for to to accept that it happened, and anything else is just “he lost”?

Aux lendemains non écrits is sung in French even with English dubs. There are some songs that have an alternate version where the language changes, so I’m not sure if there is an English version of that one playing somewhere else.

It’s only because we’re used to shit dub, it’s extremely rare to have a legit good dub (there’s a whole legit institutional problem there). If you can’t keep up with English dub, it’s good enough, but you’re still missing out a lot with Serkis, Cox, English that the French version can’t match. No one’s winning any award.

“Here’s your equipment” hands a pair of boots

Anton Petrov also has good analysis of papers like that, here’s him explaining why no the observation does not support the black hole cosmology as long as we’re not cherrypicking https://youtu.be/xXSV9JaWxCE

Doesn’t mean the paper is shit, it always helps drawing parallels to notice differences and refine our equations, but the sensationalism must prevail for all the news sites reporting on it I guess.

Let’s not pretend Google Translate isn’t a couple of taps away

Which only makes it weirder that the person writing didn’t do that themselves, but instead wanted everyone else to waste their time.

1885 is way too recent. Anything past 1800 is Napoleon taking Europe, everyone’s local consequences, and then WW1. There’s a thousand and a half years of material to discuss before that even after Greece and Rome, this is only the very end and if you’re paying attention.

You teach behavior and biases, but it’s well observed that kids naturally don’t see distinctions between groups of people until it is taught to them, and that kids do feel empathy naturally, and will feel upset about perceived injustices and such. Isolating a white kid so they don’t see a Black kid until they’re 15 is a learned thing, if they’re raised in a shared environment, they won’t see a difference. What you teach is how to act on it (like sharing), how to handle emotions about it. Restricting experience is teaching.

History lessons are a bunch of names and dates that you have to learn by heart. We went there, we made this place, we came back with this shit, we made a church. Here’s a family tree. Even when learning about battles and borders, we don’t get to ask “why were they here? Why were we there?” We just know that we were at war because this king and that king disagreed. Sometimes, at best, one of them just wants control of this location or someone’s wife banged the wrong duke, but that’s almost only for intra European conflicts - and Jerusalem.

Ethnic social issues came very late. Jews and other wandering populations are completely ignored.

The bike Amiibo unlocks color schemes for the bike, there’s a handful unlocked every 50km you ride (which seems to go pretty fast and I barely crossed the map once in one direction). So far I’ve only unlocked a classic Varia suit color scheme.

Looking at a list, they’re not terrible if you’re into that, but they’re a bit meh and I wouldn’t be too upset if I was locked out of it. The default skin looks great.

The issue is with the initial search. They can only search after they have the warrant, and they allegedly made the arrest knowing they would find a gun, and then got the warrant, and then “found” the gun again.

Even if they claim that as long as they did find the gun, it means they were right - the problem is that, had they not known about the gun, they wouldn’t have had grounds to arrest him, and therefore they wouldn’t have a conviction. That sounds fine as long as you do find a murderer, but not for everyone else they search like that with no warrant.

Even assuming the gun was real and not planted, the legal issue is that they can’t be allowed to fish for anyone they want, even if they happen to land on the right guy - after countless other innocents. Forcing them to let an actual murderer free would, presumably, push them to think twice before violating random people’s rights.

And after that, they have to prove somehow that the gun wasn’t planted while they had the bag and the owner couldn’t check on them.

On cable TV / talk shows, that’s “the host and the sidekick.” Kimmel and Guillermo, Conan and Andy, some do that with the lead of the band (Colbert, Fallon, Meyers)…

If they prove that some of what’s said about them is bullshit, then it invites questioning the veracity of the actual problems that we haven’t made up.

That’s exactly how it works when the Nazis flood social media with nonsense. You just hav e to prove one thing wrong, that destroys their credibility forever and no one ever repeats what they say again.

Rebirth lays the groundwork for Shinra starting a world war to generate more lifestream material (anguish of war victims) and “replenish the planet” so that they can pump out more Mako, it seems to be going pretty hardcore about Shinra being pure casual evil ultra imperialist capitalist, with the side of growing religious takeover with who believes or not in the Promised Land (and I forget what they call the huge materia in Rebirth - magister? Magnus?) as a land of infinite resource to sell as electricity. Scarlet salivating at the Weapons, literal harbingers of the end of the world, for the giant materia they’re made of is pretty on point.

Also they made massive efforts on the worldbuilding with all regions each having their History dominated by their local war with Shinra. I’m eager to get Wutai and the revamp from the war in Crisis Core, and possible new mentions of the new Ever Crisis stuff like Rhadore and that recent pre-Wutai place. Shinra has been going from cartoon villains in the OG to openly pure evil of mankind.

Because the younger boomers who were in their 30s to 40s between the 90s and early 00s weren’t allowed to play video games? It’s not the game that’s born in the boomer generation, it’s the audience it’s popular with.

The games in the genre like Doom came out in the '90s, but it wasn’t just young people playing it, more like uncles generation, I suppose that’s why they were still boomers. I feel the audience got younger (taking the millenial generation) when Quake really focused on the multiplayer scene beyond some Mac and Linux modding and LAN parties. That was Quake 3 I think ? The one on Dreamcast. e: and obviously also the Counter-Strike era that came just after. Boomer shooters are the ones before that.

The term boomer shooter has been around for a couple decades to designate shooters from the '90s like Doom, it’s not a “now” thing. The genre has stayed popular and a shooter doesn’t need to be from the '90s to be a boomer shooter, either.

Gotta make them edible enough first. Need some seasoning.

One mission at the very end of Origins had you play the wife, Aya, doing the shanking of Caesar. Other than that, Alexandria was full of Romans.

“A thing written by people can’t possibly be propaganda” lol okay.
