Correia's stuff is made for video games, too. Monster Hunter International and Grimnoir Chronicles would both be sick.
Most of that magic system could be made into a pretty sweet game. Would definitely enjoy something like that.
To be fair, that interview was definitely edited. Can't win an award for editing if you don't edit the interview.
It's a speech where an Aboriginal person will come speak (for a fee) to "welcome" the people to that land. Typically, it is meant to be done with a local Aboriginal in "respect" of the local tribe. For an American analogue, imagine you are on lands that are considered to belong to Apache tribes. You wouldn't then have a Comanche native come and perform such a ceremony.
Of course, this 'ritual' is new. It's roots go back to the nineties, and even then it was RARE. It's been popularised in the last 5-7 years, and nearly every event has one now. I went to see Cirque Du Soleil not too long ago and they had one before the show started. It typically only lasts about two minutes.
In the event that there isn't a token aboriginal around to perform this, there will still be a token 'thank you' said by some staff member along with stating which tribe the land supposedly belongs to, which is an Acknowledgement of Country. This isn't just events with crowds either. I've been to a fucking escape room place that did this.
It's fucking insane, and it's refreshing that most people have had enough.
Don't worry, if you mention this to a Feminist, they'll just tell you it's because men are sexist and only care about saving boobs, not the women.
Not one of these retards even know how to properly apply a mask. Just take a look at how many re-wear them, or those that put them on prior to usage.
These masks do have a proper use in a proper setting, and that includes proper instruction in how they are worn. And as an every-day fashion accessory is not the way they are to be worn.
Now explain why there is a division in the first place and why in every single sport, men outperform women. If men in womens sport won't necessarily have an advantage, explain why there's even a division between the sexes in the first place.
Rather than have I watched, let's play "have I even heard of it". And that list is as follows: Adolescence (regretfully heard about), Daredevil, Severance, Wheel of Time, Invincible and Reacher.
Only ones there I've seen is first two seasons of Invincible, and the original Netflix Daredevil, not this one.
If I had to play Devil's Advocate for Dishonored 2, you could argue that the population of blacks in Karnaca could make sense with the city being very port heavy. That said, so was Dunwall, and you didn't have the dynamic there. Still doesn't necessarily explain the higher ranking positions though, unless we're suggesting it's just a more ""modern"" resemblance, rather than anything resembling a coherent, structured lore.
I'd rather permanently abolish Land Tax. It doesn't effect as many people, but it's far more unethical in my opinion (Land Tax makes it impossible to opt out of larger society, meaning it forces people to engage on every level of the state).
But abolishing Income Tax is the next best thing IMO.
If I'm honest, for generic no-name fodder enemies, I think it doesn't bother me if this is the case where it's just generally the same stats. I do agree if it's for an enemy that's meant to be noticed though, where it's something significant.
Have you never been to a hardware store? New blades are sold individually packaged
Come on now. You know the kind of person making this argument has never done any sort of blue collar work.
Most laws like this also ban certain types of knives, most commonly balisong/butterfly knives. Most places admit they're not more lethal, it's purely because they're intimidating.
Australia is one of those places, and right now there's a push by the local MSM to try and crack down on "zombie knives". You know, the impractical decorative shit? Like it can still cut, but it's no worse than a normal knife/machete. It just intimidating.
These bans reveal the truth of pretty much all bans. It's not based on rational belief, it's based upon irrational fear.
I agree. I've held that position for a while in fact, though I admit I heavily lean on the former rather than the latter since I support sovereignty. But I definitely agree that this halfway bullshit is fucking awful. Either run the show, or don't. None of this halfway crap because it clearly doesn't work.
People love to call Australia a nation of prisoners, but nobody wants to realise that we never had a revolution. The jailors just became politicians.
No, it's the first thing. Australian Law is INCREDIBLY paternalistic. People always point to Germany for being a Nanny State, but I think Australia should be the ones that get that recognition considering just how many laws are designed solely for social "reformation" (aka manipulation of social attitudes). The government is absolutely treated like a parental figure here and it's pathetic.
As an Aussie, good. I'm sick of America being the nanny for the rest of the world. America should be focusing on America and Australia should be able to be independent instead of relying on others.
I'm sick and tired of this entitlement every nation seems to have towards America, as if building up their own nation isn't feasible.
No surprise hoovy didn't respond to this.
But slight addition. I'd argue that government regulation is what lead to the decadent, hedonistic age. When you replace community, family, and the church with the state, what are you going to get but an amoral mass?
The reality is that people as a whole rely on each other for the most part. Historically, and not even that long ago at that, such reliance was done through direct community and family ties, often brought together via the church. But when you replace reliance upon community and instead supplement that with state reliance, all the moral aspects vanish along with it. Anyone begging for more state interference is also begging for more of the problem.
Sorry, I forgot that like most statists, you need a parent to help guide you through life and figure it out, and since you'll need this explained as well, the government is your stand-in for a parental figure.
You have as much right to bitch about encroaching laws as a person that leaves their door unlocked with a sign saying as much does when they get robbed. So sure, you can bitch and moan, but what YOU say can instantly and rightfully discarded as the complaints of a fucking moron.
You void your right to complain about any law that encroaches. You're not perching yourself at the top of a slippery slope, you're on a fucking canyon.
I don't know which is worse, the "oops" or the "may". I suppose the former since it's malicious at that point.
I typically don't, but being a cringy retard is a great way to get me to.
As I said, his view this time isn't that unreasonable, but as others pointed out, it changes nothing when the end result is the same.
Honestly, I downvoted solely because of that retarded 'trigger warning', even if his view isn't that unreasonable. It just makes himself look like he's self-victimising like anyone else that uses that crap.
I don't mind Kirk that much, but that's pretty much accurate. He's fine with gay marriage, he's fine with transgenderism with the caveat that people not be forced into complying with pronouns under threat of punishment, he doesn't agree that the citizen should be equal to the military, and he's fine with immigration so long as it's slowed so that the people coming in can integrate.
It's a little blunt, but it's not a wrong assessment of the man. Like most modern conservative speakers, he's ultimately a neo-con. There's no reason to not call a spade a spade.
Someone went out of their way to write this article. And they got paid for it. Just remember that you don't hate these people enough.
Like nearly everything based in Conflict Theory, whether it's race or sex based, it's always focusing on the elite class and nobody else. It explicitly has to ignore that for the majority of everyone else, this "inequality" either didn't exist or is drastically blown way out of proportion.
