Something that the "Oh, the Old Testament God was so cruel and evil for telling the Israelites to kill people!" crowd always misses is that there were many times that the Israelites ignored those commands and let the pagans live, usually as slaves and/or wives. And every single time that happened, it came back to bite them, either by leaving an undefeated enemy in the wings to conquer them right back, or by having their culture and faith in God corroded by the influences they welcomed in.
It's funny. These people will hem and haw about how everything is a shade of gray and nobody is really good or evil until someone allegedly does something that they don't like. Then suddenly they have moral standards again. Go figure.
I misunderstood and thought it was a lefty publication. Declaring they need to take back the net when they're already reining like tyrants.
"Reclaim the net"
Ever the eternal underdogs, eh?
I like Mentis' stuff. Very approachable explanations to these ideas.
Okay. I'll just keep playing Classics, Nintendo, and Indie.
It's just "progress" chasing idiots. It's the same as people who act like there can't be any good retro styled games because the future is 3D/HD/DVD/LED/PVP/RSVP/ETC. Novelty is the virtue most sought after by humanity.
I think it was due the stigma that cartoons, especially 2D cartoons, are "just for kids." It's been plaguing the medium for decades. Thus adults don't go to see the film, and families are put off by the content that's not squeaky clean. (As though the Looney Tunes haven't always been full of risqué humor that flies over the heads of younger viewers.)
Speedy Gonzales was beloved in Mexico. But he's a stereotype so he's gotta go.
I love the bit in Looney Tunes: Back in Action where he and Porky lament political correctness killing their schticks.
Mumkey Jones's videos pointing out what a specifically pathetic individual he was were great. I wonder if they're part of why he got taken down so hard....
There are so many good games out there. Why are we even entertaining playing something mediocre because "there's some usable meat on the corpse?"
Can't see it....
You misunderstand. It won't be a lion with Morgan Freeman's voice. It will just be Morgan Freeman.
She omnicided her entire universe rather than let her sister have the throne. You cannot make a character like that sympathetic. It's simply not possible.
Isn't that just so convenient that people "just don't know" that they're gay/trans/etc, and need to be shown the light?
The concept of an "egg" is disgusting and predatory, and I don't know how people don't see this sort of coercive behavior and rightfully shun it.
I've never understood anal sex, homo or otherwise. It strikes me as the archetypical "I really shouldn't put my penis in that. However...."
...I guess in that sense, I can understand it. It still seems like a really stupid and disgusting thing to do, for all parties involved, no matter how you present it.
This is my biggest fear. I've been waiting for Paper Mario to recover from the tailspin Tanabe put it into since Sticker Scar. But it's all too easy for the lunatics in the treehouse to ruin everything yet again....
It's like telling a boy that he hits like a girl. Boys don't want to be weak and girls don't want to be rough or ugly.
Good luck with that.
I use the Brave Browser with the option set to play videos even when screen turned off. It's been a lifesaver for playing audio without having to worry about accidentally touching a link or burning through all my battery.
We are at the point of the story where the boy gets eaten by the wolf and the townspeople thank it for saving them.
Anyone who would actively throw out the canon of the material they're adapting never cared about the material in the first place. Change my mind.
Human curiosity is only surpassed by the human need to be correct.
Considering how comedically wrong people have been about dinosaurs in the past, I find it hard to believe that we had it exactly right in the 90s, and even less so now, with how corrupt the cathedral has become.
Personally, I think it's less important how accurate our understanding of Dinosaurs is, and more important how cool our cultural understanding of them turned out to be. I'll take a rad fantasy over "Ha ha, they're a bunch of dumb birds, you idiot!" any day. It's all academic in the end anyway, until someone actually gets Jurassic Park up and running.
Hail, hail, Robonia! A country I didn't make up!
