After all, the war against the Nazis, famously referred to as World War 2, is a well-known event worldwide.

You know how many swastika shirts they have to sell to see any real money between them?

“air on the side of caution”

White people like non-white culture = appropriation = RACIST

It’s one thing to say “hey, how about some actual Indian dancers?” and another entirely to accuse the producers of “overwhelming racism.”  That’s point-blank accusing them of being shitty human beings.  Of course it’s also representative of how useless the word racism has become since it can include pretty much…

I’m just one Indian person and obviously people disagree but I don’t really see it that way. It’s kind of neat that people from a different culture embrace a Bollywood movie and dance enough to learn and replicate it themselves. I can understand why Indian dancers are upset about not having an opportunity where they…

At that point, I would trust Joel, former construction contractor, to perform my surgery more than I would trust that doc. That might be only a slight exaggeration. 

I mean it’s an Indian song originally performed by Indian performers from an Indian movie that deals with Indian history and anti-colonial sentiment.

That is probably the real truth. Though conservatives seem more unified and organised to keep rolling back liberties and rights, while liberals tear each other apart over purity tests.

I want Midsomer to finally be declared vacant as the last two living occupants of the county are murdered and imprisoned, respectively.

“Every time Ellie and Joel encounter humanity, there was nothing worth saving.”

(basically, her motor control and emotional regions produce antibodies that devour the fungus and it can’t latch onto them)

(Plus, can the good doctor not just perform a brain biopsy on Ellie to get the cells he needs to culture? They were going to culture and synthesize her cells already. Killing the only source of the miracle cells at the first go seems like a risky move. What happens if you screw up, or the first go-round doesn’t work…

I had to come back here and share that our viewpoint has officially been endorsed by a cadre of doctors via Slate: https://slate.com/culture/2023/03/last-us-finale-hbo-season-1-vaccine-ending.html

Yeah, as long as you stop thinking, the conceit around the central character’s potential death doesn’t really matter.

THANK YOU. I screamed “What about a biopsy??” at least 3 times. lol

The ladder stuff came out of necessity in the game. They needed something quite long where very little happens to download the next part of the map in the background without showing a “loading…” screen. Same thing as the lifts in Mass Effect 1.

This. Ellie didn’t consent, even if she did tell Joel she wanted to see it through earlier. Without full knowledge of what that means (ie: her death), she cannot make an informed choice or give consent. And like you, I wasn’t nearly confident enough in Marlene’s theory of the “cure” to sacrifice a child for it. (Plus,…

I’m pretty intrigued by One day of fury in Brazil and Spain too

This is a tricky question to answer but, first off: yes, it is absolutely racism.
