“as in they treat civilians well and such”

Do you seriously think the people donating money to the army that literally defends the city they live in think that any of this is in any way “cool”? Get the fuck out of here.

“There are no good guys in this war”

“ you can always charge when away from home. It’s fun and let’s you park closer”

This wasn’t done by Ukraine, though, it was done by a company in Ukraine. Similarly, even if China wouldn’t benefit from doing something like this, it’s pretty plausible that individual Chinese companies might decide otherwise.

It’s important to talk about this shit, but yeah. Grass accused of being green, news at 11.

“Switz” isn’t really a word, so “Switz der Land” isn’t a valid sentence in German. The proper phrase meaning “land of the Swiss” would be “Land der Schweizer”, so there’s still an implied “das” at the beginning of the phrase.

It’s not “Switz DER Land”, it’s “Switz DAS Land.” “Land” is neuter, not masculine. Learn German, people.

There’s n0 logical issue with pointing out that somebody’s points make no sense. That’s pretty obvious, I’m confused as to why you are confused by that. To be honest, I’m not sure what you think you’re saying here in general, your comment seems to be an assembly of non-sequiturs, so that’s all I can say in response.

I’m sorry, but your comment makes no sense at all. Nobody is saying he doesn’t have the right to disconnect. They’re saying it’s sexist behavior. Are you saying that things can’t be sexist if they’re rights? So no speech can be sexist, because it’s protected by free speech rights?

Pretty interesting that women apparently make his computer crash. Seems to be some new kind of ability we’ve not heard of before. Somebody should research that.

I’m genuinely confused about the timeline here. How is Gen Z the Nintendo generation? Wouldn’t that have been Gen X? I mean, we’ve had videogames in every kid’s room since the 80s, so the first generation of kids who regularly stayed indoors playing NES is now 50 years old.

Obviously.

Yes, I remember how Star Wars did this back in 1602, when Shakespeare wrote Episode 8. Who can forget the famous quote, “These violent star wars have violent ends, and in their triumph Sith die, like fire and powder, which the jedi, as they kiss, consume.”

So essentially, your take here is: “I, personally, am the arbiter of which opinions should be expressed in which ways.”

I haven’t played Forbidden West, so I don’t know on which side it falls, but to me, there are mysteries that need to be addressed in sequels (“Who is Darth Vader really?”), and mysteries that should not be addressed (“Who is Yoda really?”).

“Some people like to see an interesting world deeply realised”

“I dare anyone to question my ethics tbh!”

It may be true that I have a narrow definition of what science fiction is, but by that same token, your definition - a story that includes any topic, fictional or real, that is, in the context of the story’s universe, subject to intense study - includes probably a majority of all stories. By your definition, Harry…

It’s true that magic can be science in the movie’s universe (I think Midi-chlorians are still canon, and I guess technically, any form of magic would just be part of the natural world in the universe in which that magic exists, and so would be subject to science), but I don’t think that makes it science in *our*…
