Why are people assuming the clearly MyTouch-style design means the screens are detachable from each other? Why are DS games the first thing people think of and not the revolution-ushering super stable 3D that this could redeem? Why, when BotW’s first trailer was shown, did nobody care that the Master Sword sat in a…

You’re providing a particular definition and mythology of meditation that tacitly proves the point Misanthrope is making. “Meditation” is not a universally agreed-upon, formalized, specific practice. There is no uniform consensus on how it should be done, or what mythology or beliefs you have to bring into it. You…

The latter things you mention are not the same.

Editing is art. Ask any Hollywood director and he will tell you the same. Ask any Hollywood director what he would do in Asmongold’s shoes and he will say he would punch the editor in the face.

That can be trained. A soccer team in Brazil devised a method: they launch a ball from one corner and raise a color flag on the opposite side.

Not reliability - battery life and thermal performance.

The comments here... eyeroll.  This is an important thing - for “known” white people to address white privilege publicly.  This is part of the process for change.  White people need to own our shit.  Education on this can and should take many forms and by many people.  I get the cynicism but celebrities have a…

I think you missed a point. Worry about what you do. Not what others do or don’t do.

To be perfectly honest, she might be on to something. I can see why her words sound goop inspired to american audiences, but at least for some of us outside the US, it actually resonates in a familiar way. For a while now, psychoanalysts and sociologists have been trying to stem the tide of an overly medical/medicine…

Man, these guys really won’t defend anything.

“We’ll see” is short for “I’ll see you in hell first,” guys everywhere.

One thing that strikes me about the parts I’ve caught of Cleopatra is how many of the sets look like they were reusing something from a Carry On movie, instead of the other way around.

The problem is that the DOJ report on black identity extremists was soley a dog whistle used to scare the populace, and denigrate BLM and other minority groups.
There was no standing in reality requiring the report. Since 1992 there have been less than 10 deaths associated with black identity extremists. (if you need…

It is endlessly frustrating how white people refuse to acknowledge the differences between bigotry, racism and white supremacy, all of which are defined by their relationship to and ability to wield power. For instance, my great Aunt who ranted about “Jew dogs” was a bigot because as a Black woman, she lacked the…

Too bad the black currant flavor dropped off the face of the earth. My wife was obsessed, to the point of buying Ribena, black currant preserves, and anything else that said “black currant” on it after I bought her a can on a lark.

Yup! I remember being really frustrated because it just kept happening and nothing was really being done about it. But then what possibly could be done about it? You can’t just lock her away. Ultimately it would have to come down to her going to jail, but she’s just going to get out and do it again. Maybe just let her…

I’m so sick of hearing about the police murdering compliant people in total absence of wrongdoing. I’m even sicker of the fact that they get away with it.

Classicist here, and no. Rome never fell. It declined, slowly, steadily, in frequently strange and unusual ways, and then spun off to become frightenly powerful again, and then lurched into obscurity once more.

And the elites stayed in power, and eventually when the Roman Administration fell apart they stayed in power…

So many parallels to the fall of Rome. Expanding economic inequality, power wielded by those who pay for it, obsequious flattery, an emperor receiving information exclusively through his selected courtiers *cough Fox News cough*, senators immune from taxation, incompetent sons of leaders...

Roger Ebert talked about something similar to this in his review of the film Priest. In it a child tells the main character she’s being molested, and then the molester—her father—comes to see him and proudly announces that he did it, he’s gonna keep doing it and there’s nothing the priest can do about it.
