British English has a lot more variance than Yankspeak.

We’re more likely to use “help V+ing” than “help INF”. An average larger vocabulary, atop different usages. Even with US dominated media eroding our dialects faster than ever there’s still a lot of difference out there.

I will need a more specific question to give more response. Are you a non-native English speaker living in the UK?

We acknowledge that the game is a work of fiction. Historical fiction, but fiction none-the-less.

If every fifth character is also black, I think there is a point that can be made about verisimilitude and taking liberties; but since we know he really existed and that there has been debate on what he did, having a work of fiction that portrays him as a samurai under Nobunga doesn’t seem unreasonable.

To compare, we know that Leonardo Di Vinci didn’t hand out guns to people or build functional flying machines - but we know he designed all sorts of stuff ahead of its time, so it kinda fits in a fictional story with him in.

But only one of those seems to draw huge amounts of complaints online… And it’s actually the less historically accurate one.

You’re all for pulling the lever in trolley problems, aren’t you?

Neoliberalism doesn’t beat fascism though and that’s the point.

Fascism is capitalism’s immune system to eliminate dissent and critical ideas.

And then when everyone is united against the fascists who’ve rounded up the socialists, the students, the ethnic and sexual minorities, Neoliberalism steps back in, wipes the blood off of its hands, and says “wow, wasn’t that bad. Let’s stick with me from now on”.

That’s a potentially interesting definition.

Dream Daddy, the daddy dating sim isn’t a woke game in this context because the conceit of it being an LGBT friendly town with a bunch of single gay dads makes it all make sense.

But a game set in 1300s Japan with a lesbian white protagonist would be woke because that seems incongruous?

I read it as these two questions:

1. Which controversial sentence said over public broadcast media do you disagree with the critiques of?
2. Which controversial broadcast sentence do you come closest to agreeing with, even if you don’t think it true and hate yourself for even contemplating as true

Don’t know if I’m right or but that reading makes most sense to me after a couple of passes and some thinking.

[Map Men / Jay Foreman] (https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCbbQalJ4OaC0oQ0AqRaOJ9g) - fun, painstakingly produced educational videos about maps.

Yhara Zayd - Not too long media analysis. Especially of Horror and through BPoC lens.

Andrewism - discussions about Anarchism and organising from Trinidad.

But Dragon Age was never good, either.

The first one was mediocre at best with some good ideas, and it was all downhill from there.

Actually, octopi is the “erroneous” one. Although it is a very common mistake so might make the shift to recognised before too much longer.

Everyone still understands it, so it doesn’t matter.

The writer here, rereporting another interview seems fairly Musk tolerant.

RDJ probably is too. But at least he’s calling him on a few things.

By most accounts, iirc, they were large and slow, but also curious me friendly birds that would waddle over to check what sailors were doing.

Fair enough.
Be the change you want to see and all that.

I personally love the mad spelling, but I can understand that other folks don’t.

They’re old English letters used for writing the two different “th” sounds English has, which are fairly rare phonemes.

It’s certainly simpler, I’ll give you that.
It takes too much mental energy to read that document.

May I ask why at all?

You’re absolutely correct.
I’d also add that while they exist, it is also with fewer food and water poverty/access issues compared to favelas since they’re rural rather than urban spaces.

Thanks for the callout and link! 🙏🏽

Nature is fascinating.

Many of the comments being “penis worms!”, but no one is asking about that Red blood is only in the “majority of vertebrates” leaves me wondering which vertebrates have what other colour(s) of blood.

Edit: I have been told that it’s “Crocodile Icefish” (10 species of) and colourless.

As someone has already pointed out, the election that Hitler did well in causing his appointment to Chancellor was one with a high abstention rate - especially from Communists and Socialist who chose moral purity over voting against Nazis.

You do you. But your crusade on others trying to hold off a second genocide against migrants of colour and LGBTQI people in the US doesn’t seem the best outcome to me.

Unless you know a third candidate that won’t persecute people in the US and will also end support for Israel.

I don’t conflate voting for one of two options with consent or endorsement of all their actions.

This is why the whole system needs to change.

Can it be done before the next president’s term starts? Unlikely, so maybe we need to hold our noses and vote against Netanyahu’s preferred candidate.

There is a baseline of quality that is hard for a plucky individual to match outside of mono-medium media.

While it is possible for good video games to be produced by a single indivudal or very small team, it is a lot of work on their part and hard to do if worried about paying for food, rent, etc.

Filmic media (is there a good noun that joins movies and fiction TV shows as a unified object?), a solid level of difficulty above that.
