The absolute mental destruction the school system has wrought on kids for the last few decades is starting to get apparent on the roads these days.

I've legit seen what looked a 20-something woman crash their car into a post trying to turn from a stoplight. Nothing around, just incapable of navigating a normal bend from stopped. I don't even think they were chemically influenced at the time, they looked alert when they got out, they're just that useless.

Considering hers is the only one that is also just the name of the anime, those are rookie numbers by frieren.

Also lol at Nobara's RIP search spike, blew up like she did.

Kids are also way more likely to just constantly Google everything in the game too. They do not bookmark a wiki, just Google search to find the same site every time, and most don't have any capacity at all for figuring things out themselves.

Yeah as long as she steals a course framework from a good professor I don't doubt she'll replicate it to the letter.

Ah nothing says alpha like getting shamed by a twitter nobody into doing what they're told to do.

What are the odds that everyone just knows that "Roberta" with the pink tape measure is a neurotic psycho and not worth interacting with?

It's the nation-state equivalent of two guys being just mad enough to want to have a knock-down fight, but not stomping the other guy to death after they're down.

Rationally it's kinda dumb, but it does seem to be human nature to consider a straight fight honorable only up until the point the other side can't defend themselves anymore.

"I should say here that I am a visibly observant Jew who wears a large Star of David around my neck"

Gets poked in the eyelid with a blunt object and suffers no injury.

Screams "I've been stabbed in the eye!" and takes themselves to hospital to spend a day sobbing and wailing online.

It's honestly impressive when wearing a star of David is the least stereotypically Jewish thing you're doing.

I thought not wanting others to succeed because you're not personally getting a piece of that success yourself was a commie only mindset.

You're not wrong on the socially retarded part, relative to the west. But is that really all thar bad? It's always going to be an approximate bellcurve, so increasing the average social skills also increases the number of socially adept, manipulative drama whores. I'm kind of sick of the Western plague of hypersocial parasites with no productive skills beyond grifting, frankly I wouldn't mind some more socially retarded autists with actual job skills if it means exterminating influencers like the cockroaches they are.

I've said it elsewhere, but this may not be what it seems so I'm gonna wait and see.

Vavra is kind of a troll, he especially loves screwing with journalists, and he does seem to embrace controversy marketing.

I wouldn't put it past him to try and bait the journos into reporting on KCD2 with the diversity buzzword. Then to later reveal details that show that, whilst technically true, it's entirely the wrong kind of "diversity" after they start reporting on it.

I'll hold fire on judgement yet.

The lead guy does seem to enjoy his pranks, especially screwing with journalists. I wouldn't put it past him to try and bait them with this just to later reveal details that show it's not the right kind of "diversity" for their cult after they start reporting on it.

Add a few thieving vagrants, maybe a dishonest greedy merchant of some form.

Give them the representation they really deserve.

No idea, but tbh the entire concept of that company is ripe for tourist interference.

A 40+ page rulebook is an excellent padlock on the gates you want kept at the entrance into your hobby.

I agree that breaking bad was an excellent show. But I can also say it's perfectly understandable why anyone wouldn't enjoy it.

All the characters in it are flawed far beyond even reality, they're each pretty much disgusting in their own ways and the frequent moments of slow pacing just leaves you stewing in how pathetic and lamentable pretty much everyone is. It's a tragedy in the true classical sense, you're supposed to feel bad after watching it. And it's a good show because it succeeds at just that. The best description I have of the experience of watching it is "grimly satisfying"

These stereotypes exist for a reason and yes statistically you're right but at the same time I'm not going to be a dick and chase away the few good women out there that can behave themselves and act like adults.

In the end the statistics probably know better than you or I TBH. It's not just the obviously unstable ones who are unsuited to the level-headed impartiality of good leadership and it'd be far too arrogant to pretend we can tell at a glance which otherwise normal women lack the mental fortitude not to crack under the pressure. For every superficially normal woman who might qualify for a leadership role there's almost certainly an equally qualified man within arms reach who is far more likely to deliver lasting positive results.

There are far fewer leadership positions than there are potentially good leaders and in the quest to not be a dick to the few good women, you'll instead end up being a dick to the even better male leaders that would need to have their potential suppressed to pander to those women. Not only that but by abetting them you also play a part in everyone under them having to suffer the fallout if inferior leadership fucks up things for everyone or any petty games of favourites that may develop.

There's plenty of good men out there in need of a chance, you should never need to gamble on the B-list candidates.

They'd call a spade a spade. Unless it was annoying, then they'd call it a fag.

Cavil might have caused the situation on accident cause he leaked the show before the paperwork was finalized, which gave Amazon a lot more negotiation power than they should have had.

I don't get that one. Surely the sudden positive buzz about a 40k show would have given GW more leverage not Amazon? It showed they had a product that people wanted and Amazon stood to lose out on a potential big hit if they couldn't secure the license from GW.

The problem here is even with situational good leverage is Amazon is a behemoth and GW are amateurs who struggle not to trip over their own feet on the best of days. They've never been very good with their licencing and I don't doubt Amazon ate them up at the negotiation table.

I know from Sargon talking to Itsagundam the other day that the lotus eaters channel got hit with a bunch of bullshit by YouTube recently. They didn't go into the specifics though

Fear of judgement

People should fear being judged as shit eating child molesters. Fear shows the systems of incentives and consequences are working.
