You can use this site to check for shadowbans. Sometimes they will expire after a certain amount of time I think, but who knows how it works exactly.

Asians put a large emphasis on intellectual honor. This isn't always being smart, but being known as smart. This means you need to put in enough effort to at least look smart or get good credentials.

Blacks put much more emphasis on physical honor. This means wanting to look strong. And being smart often can make you look physically weak, so that's not something they tend to pursue.

Whites I'm not quite as sure about, but I would say the emphasis is on overall confidence. To be confident on a topic you need to know about something deeply, or at least pretend you do. And it's often just best to learn and study than pretend you know everything you need to.

That's the problem with pursuing "equality" eventually you'll find that one group is more effective than others. Even if you tip the scales against them they might be better on average than other groups. In that case, the only way to make them "equal" in outcome is handicapping their success.

You can even justify it in some "progressive" ways too, like it totally gets rid of physical bullying. They can just shut off the PC. It reduces carbon emissions by lowering street traffic to and from schools. Etc.

Because "the right" isn't a singular group. Even on "the left" those who support communism are just the useful idiots for the international gangsters who want to run everything.

The first thing to know is that in our current society the people who have money have power. And even more than that, the people who print the money have the most power.

BotW has freedom of exploration unlike any other game to me. You can climb up a mountain, look off into the distance and go anywhere you want. That alone has incredible amounts of power to it. Even if the rest of the game is lacking in parts, that single element shining is enough to make me happy.

Mario Odyssey on the other hand claimed to be like 64 and Sunshine, but all I found was a hidden object hunt. No real exploration at all. It would have probably been better if it was just linear levels instead of the weak worlds they ended up making.

It's true. Games are a very important part of life, they are a safe "training ground" for people to hone their skills before they need to apply them seriously. In terms of sports they can act as competitions without violence, so people can still end up feeling victory and defeat. This is where the "games are just for kids" mindset comes from.

A person who's 20 years old and still riding a bike with training wheels is a failure.

That's why it's an insult for people to be saying "all video games should have an easy mode!" because they are basically saying "all bikes should have training wheels" which is nonsensical.

You can see people's obsession with young adult literature and superhero movies as similar symptoms of arrested development.

The people who didn't want diversity didn't get a choice. The traitors in their midst opened the gates and decried anybody objecting as evil. They knew full well that leaving the gates open would cause significant problems, that's what they wanted all along.

When it comes to games like Breath of the Wild I completely disagree, they took a large risk with that game. It was a Zelda game with no dungeons, and your weapons constantly broke, and it was still very fun. Not perfect, but very enjoyable.

When it comes to Mario though, they are becoming quite boring. I did not enjoy Mario Odyssey very much.

I'm pretty sure they got some of that Obama money after about 2010, or from some other "investor" because there's no way they would make anything close to what they've cost. Other than the value of indoctrination that is.

This is a recent article I found explaining some elements of early european peoples. Specifically focusing on the caste system of priests, warriors, and producers. I found it very informative and suggest anybody else interested in history to read it too.

That's only part of it, the US dollar has been subject to an "ideal" amount of 2% inflation per year. That's what the federal reserve wants to happen. Just look at the US inflation calculator. $60 in the year 2000 is equivalent to $90 in 2020.

Yep, somebody should develop an offline archive program. At the very least you can take screenshots, even if those aren't fully reliable.

Now do the same for public schools, government funded Universities, and anybody else receiving tax money. This is not a fire that you can snuff out with a single light blow.

A better comparison would be between horses and zebras I think. They at least both equines, but zebras are far more aggressive and can not be used as horses.

Yeah but then they would get called racists! That's basically worse than getting your whole city burned to the ground.

Seattle, Portland, and Washington, DC are more important nationally so it makes sense that they would be focusing on them first. I could see them being used as examples to make everybody else fall in line when it comes to actually upholding the law.

For Morrowind you might want to look up what each stat does, if you invest your points badly you will have an annoying time with combat.

For Oblivion the level scaling is pretty weird. If you invest your points badly in that you can end up with enemies being way tougher than they should be. I would suggest turning down the difficulty in the options if there's some stuff you really can't get past.

Also check out Kingdom Come Deliverance if you haven't!

It's part of the operant conditioning of the modern era. The media and education systems have become very good at priming people with associations, especially negative ones.

Of course the people doing actually sending out the education don't believe it, but many people who lack life experience will. They just see lots of examples of "horrible bigots" and never see the other side of the fence.

As far as I can see it, religion at its core is more about a shared history than it is about belief in a higher power. A religion can only exist if a group of people share a history together, then their core beliefs are formed into a doctrine, only after that can you think about a higher power. In history this has usually taken the form of smaller cults in cities or villages, which if they grow in size enough become a religion or part of a region's religious beliefs.

A parent bringing their child into their religion is bringing them into their own shared history. Saying "this is your part in the world and how you should best try to align yourself with nature" and some such codes of conduct. This is especially important if the people of their city or country around them share the same religion, this helps them fit into their society.

A person promoting religion to others they do not know through entertainment or education can cause damage if they're trying to convert people. What you are doing then is trying to encompass your shared history over theirs. In a homogeneous society where everybody has the same shared history this isn't much of a problem. Between different groups of people though, this is a culture war.

Of course if you're merely trying to celebrate your own history and have others partake in it then I would say it's positive. For example the game Sekiro has many Shinto and Buddhist elements in it, which feels natural and not like it wants you to believe in what its creators believe.

Yep probably. I think they pursued her because they thought there would be some dirt about Trump, but everybody they question has been saying he's not implicated at all.

Anybody can believe in the truth, having somebody believe a lie is a show of faith and power.

Orwell was very on point with the language he invented for 1984. Doublethink, believing two contradictory things at the same time. Crimestop, having your brain shut down thoughts before this doublethink is fully examined. Thoughtcrime, being able to think freely and do things like doubt your own doublethink and the regime.

These people know exactly what they're doing and the people under them are useful idiots. When you point out the connections to Orwell, first they will deny them saying "We're talking about something totally different!" and then later they will embrace them saying "IngSoc is more moral than capitalism at least!"

Yeah, Bernie was being supported simultaneously by more moderate people who wanted change but were too ignorant to understand what they need and extreme radicals who want to completely destroy America and rebuild it into something new.

The Obama/Biden/Clinton side want to buddy up with big business and run the global international machine. They see the left wing as a good avenue to push things like more "diversity and inclusion" to change people's standards and make the public more suitable to an international elite group of gangsters.

He probably thought he could get away with it. Nobody else was stopping them, especially not the police.
