Let’s not pretend Google Translate isn’t a couple of taps away

Which only makes it weirder that the person writing didn’t do that themselves, but instead wanted everyone else to waste their time.

1885 is way too recent. Anything past 1800 is Napoleon taking Europe, everyone’s local consequences, and then WW1. There’s a thousand and a half years of material to discuss before that even after Greece and Rome, this is only the very end and if you’re paying attention.

You teach behavior and biases, but it’s well observed that kids naturally don’t see distinctions between groups of people until it is taught to them, and that kids do feel empathy naturally, and will feel upset about perceived injustices and such. Isolating a white kid so they don’t see a Black kid until they’re 15 is a learned thing, if they’re raised in a shared environment, they won’t see a difference. What you teach is how to act on it (like sharing), how to handle emotions about it. Restricting experience is teaching.

History lessons are a bunch of names and dates that you have to learn by heart. We went there, we made this place, we came back with this shit, we made a church. Here’s a family tree. Even when learning about battles and borders, we don’t get to ask “why were they here? Why were we there?” We just know that we were at war because this king and that king disagreed. Sometimes, at best, one of them just wants control of this location or someone’s wife banged the wrong duke, but that’s almost only for intra European conflicts - and Jerusalem.

Ethnic social issues came very late. Jews and other wandering populations are completely ignored.

The issue is with the initial search. They can only search after they have the warrant, and they allegedly made the arrest knowing they would find a gun, and then got the warrant, and then “found” the gun again.

Even if they claim that as long as they did find the gun, it means they were right - the problem is that, had they not known about the gun, they wouldn’t have had grounds to arrest him, and therefore they wouldn’t have a conviction. That sounds fine as long as you do find a murderer, but not for everyone else they search like that with no warrant.

Even assuming the gun was real and not planted, the legal issue is that they can’t be allowed to fish for anyone they want, even if they happen to land on the right guy - after countless other innocents. Forcing them to let an actual murderer free would, presumably, push them to think twice before violating random people’s rights.

And after that, they have to prove somehow that the gun wasn’t planted while they had the bag and the owner couldn’t check on them.

On cable TV / talk shows, that’s “the host and the sidekick.” Kimmel and Guillermo, Conan and Andy, some do that with the lead of the band (Colbert, Fallon, Meyers)…

Rebirth lays the groundwork for Shinra starting a world war to generate more lifestream material (anguish of war victims) and “replenish the planet” so that they can pump out more Mako, it seems to be going pretty hardcore about Shinra being pure casual evil ultra imperialist capitalist, with the side of growing religious takeover with who believes or not in the Promised Land (and I forget what they call the huge materia in Rebirth - magister? Magnus?) as a land of infinite resource to sell as electricity. Scarlet salivating at the Weapons, literal harbingers of the end of the world, for the giant materia they’re made of is pretty on point.

Also they made massive efforts on the worldbuilding with all regions each having their History dominated by their local war with Shinra. I’m eager to get Wutai and the revamp from the war in Crisis Core, and possible new mentions of the new Ever Crisis stuff like Rhadore and that recent pre-Wutai place. Shinra has been going from cartoon villains in the OG to openly pure evil of mankind.

Because the younger boomers who were in their 30s to 40s between the 90s and early 00s weren’t allowed to play video games? It’s not the game that’s born in the boomer generation, it’s the audience it’s popular with.

The games in the genre like Doom came out in the '90s, but it wasn’t just young people playing it, more like uncles generation, I suppose that’s why they were still boomers. I feel the audience got younger (taking the millenial generation) when Quake really focused on the multiplayer scene beyond some Mac and Linux modding and LAN parties. That was Quake 3 I think ? The one on Dreamcast. e: and obviously also the Counter-Strike era that came just after. Boomer shooters are the ones before that.

The term boomer shooter has been around for a couple decades to designate shooters from the '90s like Doom, it’s not a “now” thing. The genre has stayed popular and a shooter doesn’t need to be from the '90s to be a boomer shooter, either.

Gotta make them edible enough first. Need some seasoning.

“A thing written by people can’t possibly be propaganda” lol okay.

The website.

You insist on “what is wrong in this article” .

One of the things that popaganda does is sprinkling some real stuff to attract new people and then slowly feed them more lies.

It doesn’t matter if you stumble upon a few good articles with real quotes - the whole thing must be avoided to reduce traffic in their direction. The proper response is to find a different source with the same quotes.

This is thinking critically. If you know it’s from a propagandist, don’t give them more food. Your version of “thinking critically” is just “listen to the people who sound more convincing, even you know they are liars and you can’t find if this specific article has lies or not” .

How about

Middleman anonimizer, pornhub sends the message to a middleman, the middleman puts its own token on the request, sends that to the gov, the gov responds yes/no to the middleman on the authenticity of the message, the middleman forwards the response to pornhub. The gov doesn’t see pornhub, pornhub only gets the yes/no response, the middleman only sees the message with no ID and the response as well as the site.

Requires a separate middleman maintained by who the fuck knows. Pornhub keeps your IP, the gov keeps your name, the middleman only knows the number of visitors on pornhub.

That’s right, when a foreign army invades your country, don’t escalate, just give them control of your government and your institutions.

The molehill is your focus on the word believe

The serious part is the US just waltzing into a foreign country planting signs and Mexico removing them

Not that many people have actually died in Gaza, as a percentage of the total population. For that to work as a means of genocide, the number of dead Gazans would be in the millions. It is not.

Uh? Wasn’t the population in all of Gaza about 2 millions? Estimates these last few months put the death toll at 700 000 AFAIK, what percentage would be mass genocide?

Are you going to try and claim that Friends is better than Breaking Bad or the first 8 seasons of Game of Thrones?

Yes

The Nero fiddling was entirely slander, and saying he probably could and should have done something is complaining after the fact. He was a day away from Rome when he heard a fire had started, he hauled ass back there, and he personally ran around with the fire brigades to pull people from the wrecks, oppening food supplies, gardens for shelters. And then after all that he plowed the debris away and set new building regulations to make sure a big fire couldn’t do that much damage again - so he did actually do a lot about it. And then he took the empty space to build his golden palace and that’s what got people pissed and rumors spreading. Before all that, he wasn’t doing anything weirder than anyone else, beside sitting by while his mom murdered everybody else to sit him on a throne that he didn’t care for (and then he murdered her to be free of the abuse). The people liked him, it’s the nobles/rich who didn’t. Historians tried to blame him, but it’s clear there was no easy prevention method beside razing and rebuilding; Rome was long known as a fire hazard with shit wooden buildings and zero ventilation safety, fires weren’t rare. The blame game didn’t come from what he could have done before and didn’t do or from any sort of prescience that he should have had that no one else had before, it’s purely religious propaganda after the fact, when he tried to place the blame to some weirdo sect. Hell, he might even have been right, but we’ll never know.
