B.C. councillor blames 'leftist extremists' after blackface photo surfaces online
  • I absolutely believe that in a large city the culture you experienced was drastically different than what I experienced. I didn't grow up in a city, and yeah things were pretty different for me as a result.

    It's okay, it just means your pocket of experience and mine pool from different demographics and normative values.

  • That's a terrible concept masquerading as equity. In the future I suspect we'll know better, but the double standard crap in this era is awful. There is no correct way to have racism, you either fight all of it, or not.

    This mentality of punching up / down simply leads to outcomes of acceptable / unacceptable racism and that's not the way to combat racism and inequality.

  • Revisionist history tbh, we absolutely did not know better in the 90s or early aughts, certainly not where I lived. The world was different before widespread Internet access and your pocket of culture, if it really was the way you think you know and remember was certainly not universal.

  • Why is UI design backsliding?
  • I always hated the ribbon context menu system. It ruins the way I learn watch involves where something is just as much as what it's called, kinda like remember where on a physical page something is even if you don't remember the page.

    Static, nested menus are superior.

  • What do you think the voting age should be?
  • Honestly I think everything should move to 20.

    Alcohol purchase, consumption. Military conscription, draft, voluntary service Age of majority, marriageable age Voting with automatic voting registration Drug consumption including nicotine, caffeine, and cabinets Driving ( permits at a prior age with supervision )

    We know people's brains aren't really formed enough even at 18 to consider people adults, this younger age is a hold over from even younger ages and doesn't reflect reality.

    People who are not fully developed shouldn't be able to make decisions with the full weight of adulthood, to take any other position is barbaric.

  • If the logic of copyright/trademark/IP law applied to everything, what's the most peculiar possible implication you can think of for it?
  • Memes taken down and replies deleted in conversations because they contain copyrighted text and images. Lyrics censored in online conversation. All video containing any image with a logo protected by trademark, or characters protected by international copyright, even when on T shirts and signs being taken down.

  • Nintendo files lawsuit against Palworld
  • I agree, but I think all intellectual property laws should be repealed. I came to the conclusion that patent, copyright, and trademark are all varying levels of bad years ago and I think it clearly holds the human race and human progress back by limiting creative iteration.

  • Inconceivable!
  • Again, you can't have multiple competing ideologies be correct concurrently because some are going to conflict, but if at least one matches reality then your concept ( again from a logic standpoint ) is bad.

  • Inconceivable!
  • Isn't it just as likely that one religion across c all of human history was right than absolutely none from like a 'logic' standpoint?

    I'm not a religious person, but the conclusion that all are wrong because all can't be right is just bad logic and doesn't follow from the premise.

  • 14 pages of dead babies
  • I'm peddling something that may very well be true, and things like this happen all across the world, all the time. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I'm kinda trying to say that you appear naive in my eyes.

    For governments, and organizations ends are often considered justified by means and that's not even a crazy position to take.

    Conspiracies literally happen, and honestly a lot of change in the world, or research, or political coups would be fundamentally impossible without them. You, like me, don't have all the information needed to even know quite frankly.

    That's how the world actually works.

  • Not to feed conspiracy theories, but it's very likely October 7th was known about and it was decided that letting it happen was more politically convenient to justify the 'war' happening now.

    Israel has terrifying Intelligence that is world class, you might be underestimating it to be completely honest. By most accounts, it's the most efficient and powerful intelligence and counterintelligence agency in the entire known world.

  • how to get Mushimesama Futunari DLC now for 360? any other release?

    I have Mushihimesama Futunari on Xbox 360 for a long time, store closed and I learned black label DLC is now going.

    Are there any option? I can't find physical DLC disk, maybe it never exist.

    I have options?

    I never hear people talk about the animals that are likely dying of a heat stroke

    Sorry for the poor title, but even when people talk about climate change, and know it's hotter for them, people don't actually seem to talk about the impact on the rest of the biosphere.

    I can't tell if it's not thought about, or just not discussed as much because it is not 'relevant' to their lives.

    I can barely function outside for a few minutes without being drenched in sweat, and some of it is probably poor health and not being used to it, but I can tell sl with certainty that I can't survive outside in this heat, and I'm living as a result of a trick or technology.

    The animals though? Some of them are straight up fubbernucked. There will be mass animals die offs and people won't even notice.

    With the release of Phantom Liberty, I truly hope this game is remembered fondly

    Maybe I like bad games, or maybe Cyberpunk 2077 was never quite as bad as people say - I'm not sure because I unironically love Forspoken and think it's one of the best games I've ever played.

    I did hate on the game hard at release, and a lot of it was well deserved, trying to play it on PS4 or Xbox One ( I picked it up on both ) was actually awful and unstable, I couldn't progress past the club at the beginning of the Street Kid life path so I eventually hung it up for a while.

    I bought it at launch, and it was a bad launch, reminded me of the launch of No Man's Sky, except visually the game was stunning, and there was a lot more substance, but it was actually broken.

    I ended up giving it a real try at the end of 2021 when I managed to get my hands on an Xbox Series X and it was a drastically different game. This was before the 'next gen' patch, but it had enough fixes and ran butter smooth on the Series X that I ended up getting enthralled.

    Y'all this game is good. I had a great build that was frustratingly nerfed hard at the next gen patch ( RIP Overwatch ) but wow the story and world is so interesting, and I feel like this is this AI revolution story just waiting to be told in the background - it's good shit.

    I haven't played since the next gen patch, so all that will be new to me along with Phantom Liberty so I'm looking forward to a drastically different game than I played a year and a half ago.

    I think CDPR finally did it, or will have did it upon release.

    I can't wait.
