Canada (under british rule) was way shittier to theirs in far more recent history than the American government. They had some old school atrocities too.
Having lived on both sides of the border, there's a real interesting potential social/political study there (if there was anyone grounded enough in impartial reality to do it), because the populations of natives are entirely different and the only reason is the way the two governments have treated them.
American natives have a much, much higher propensity to blend into American society then do a TP dance on the weekends to keep their kids informed on their heritage. The Canadian ones are like 3rd world ghettos, living on gibs and selling tax free pot and cigs to their "oppressors" with higher crime and abuse rates than a Chicago suburb.
Honestly I am always surprised anyone pays full price for any lego game. Seems like they usually hit $5 by the following christmas sale. Maybe it takes a little longer, but I've never paid more than $5 for one, and even without actively seeking them out I have like 8.
They just had a humble bundle like one month ago with over 20 of them for $21 cad I think it was. Eventually people are going to stop paying full price for the latest one, right? Right?
freecanada.win is an independent site not connected to communities or scored. Looks like our server dropped us, but waiting for the domain owner to come online and confirm what's up.
Just checked in on the other mods, no one knows what's up for sure.
It'll likely be back up soon, JP had contingency plans for if the server got puled, but it might take a day or two.
In any normal, functional society, she probably would have just ended up as a lesbian.
That's no more a normal functional society than the one it's turned into. Just because it seemed slightly better then than it is now doesn't mean it wasn't all part of the rot that led where we are.
In a normal and functional society she would either have been married off or become a literal spinster helping the rest of the family managing the other children. Neither of those options would have required a cocktail of drugs to keep her from realising just how miserable she is now.
In fact I would bet money it all started with "anti-depressants" long before you ever knew she was on them.
these western studios were dumb enough
The studios do not exist. The executives making these decisions know exactly what they are doing and who they are doing it for, and have a golden parachute and their next job lined up already.
Godot has had hundreds if not thousands of pulls go ignored or ditched, because it didn't fit the 'vision' of the original team. A fork that just keeps up with core and implements more things than core would already be ahead of the game.
It all comes down to velocity though, previously there wasn't enough reason or interest to start a real fork, now there is.
They are going to have to rebrand https://github.com/Redot-Engine/redot-engine/issues/18
But lets try and keep up with this and see if it has legs. It really looks like they broke the camels back and a significant portion are ready to do an honest fork.
"Management" has made a lot of poor and even shady decisions over the last year, as well as blocking a lot of legitimate features and improvements for years now because "you could just write that yourself."
I wouldn't even bother with Battle Gate Voyager, but that's just me. You're a long ways from that decision anyway.
Atlantis is my favourite and definitely should not be skipped. SGU they leaned hard into trying to film it like Battle Star, and bullshit character drama and love triangles, and only one somewhat likeable character. Doesn't help they actually cancelled their top rated show in Atlantis hoping it would force people to watch it.
Atlantis premiered after the end of Season 8, and the two didn't have a direct crossover until after SG1 ended. So the first seasons are fair game before you finish SG1.
Google is, as always, completely full of shit and anything they say should always be discarded.
It was more than 10 years ago their project lead for "AI" said they were just going to keep making more complex programs until "AI" magically stuck to the wall.
In the last 3-5 years it's been nothing but playing catch-up and trying to pretend they know what they are talking about.
They will also need your personal info to find that info on the (dramatic echoing voice) "dark web" so double score for them.
This is true. The jeets did have, at one point some amazing architecture that stood for centuries and was reverenced by their people. But not anymore.
I really don't think it's as much a matter of race as it is the end result of socialism and/or genuine overpopulation. Iodine deficiency maps also correlate directly with modern low IQ maps, and that 19th century understanding is lost in the modern expansion of 3rd world countries.
We WILL see this here in the west, and the influx of jeets is only a cover for why it's really happening. (Communism/Socialism and the subsequent complete loss of knowledge on proper nutrition.)
After all, even when the world functioned entirely on mass slavery, the slaves behaved better.
We all know the internet is somehow 35% Canadians, and Canadians have a serious Jeet problem.
Did the same a few months ago when I learned of this game on patriots.
Nope. 25 minutes I spent, tried rural farmland, cities, palaces, mountains.
Nope. Always trash.
It's mindboggling. India is absolutely massive, the sheer amount of trash this must equal is beyond reckoning.
I'd call that a score. I have books from disparate sets and was lucky to get them $5 each.
I've had my eye out for a deal on the Chronicles of Narnia from before they changed the book order, and have had no luck. I have a single book complete set, and a 90s-ish box set with the new "chronological" order, but finding an older box set is a bitch.
I will respond to this in full later; things to do and all that.
I think we actually agree on much of the basics, we merely approach the "entirety" of the WW differently. As a whole I think it was one of the best times to be alive in all of human history, but it was a very unique period of time and place where their was no real external threat. The savagery of the natives and the mexicans (both contained to specific locations and times) was nothing compared to the competing nations of other periods and times, such as the shifting tides of the Moorish invasions and the Crusades and the "total war" period of Europe.
In case my passive aggressive snark is not translating correctly, I am trying to have a civilised discussion with you.
times and places where that was not the case as well.
And those times and places were overall, a very small part of the two centuries we call the wild west. As well as being localised to specific territories, while other territories experienced very little problems.
And given Stefan's ideology, he will undoubtedly bring the facts that paint history as sympathetic to his belief's and very unlikely show the ones that disprove him.
Since he completely ignored Christianity entirely, I agree with you here.
However, the crime statistics he brought for places that are known from western movies as hotbeds of crime, do shine a light on the narrative many of us were fed in school. Even the worst cities were safer than any modern US city even adjusted per-capita.
You have successfully illuminated a lot of the issues I did have with that video and the presenter, and will say you are right about him. But it still remains that over the 2 centuries of the "wild west" and the millions of square miles it consisted of, over 90% of the time it was peaceful and prosperous.
I had relatives who lived through the final decades of it, and heard about the WW from the horses mouth so to speak. So I always took issue with those who claimed it was some barbaric time where everything sucked. I can appreciate when even someone I may ideologically disagree with can point to factual information and say "that's just not what it was really like, for most of the people, for most of the time."
Okay, you have lots of reasons to dislike him, and I never did say I agreed with his conclusions. I don't.
But in this one specific video, the only thing I have ever seen of the man or cared to, he brings plenty of receipts to prove the very simple point that the WW was not anywhere near as dangerous and lawless as many have been lead to believe through nothing more than repetition of the worst of it.
In the United States we have massive amounts of records, genealogies, newspapers, biographies, contracts, legal and court records, to trace the entirety of the so called wild west, and in those records we have the safest cities, with the lowest crime levels, to have ever existed on earth.
Exemplifying the "wild" part of the wild west has served at different points: the advancement of federalism, the marxist 'noble savage" narrative, and the push for "progress" in the form of degeneracy and the welfare state.
If I cared to make videos I would have linked you mine. But I can separate presented facts from the presenters bias without much issue and it is a failure of mine to expect the same of others.
Funny, he never mentioned anarchy, but yes factual information ceases to be relevant if it's presented by someone you don't like.
He never touched on Christianity either, the real reason why these people maintained "civilised" even as they left "civilisation." Feel free to ignore his presentation of history and continue to believe the wild west was "lawless" and dangerous because that's what some communists put in your school curriculum.
There is an official translation now which finished the last book just a couple years ago, now is the best time to read it in English.
Watching the anime IS reading a book, lol. Only anime I've ever had to pause on occasion to keep up with the dialogue.
Only have the first book so far, and it's worth it. I like that the book actually explains the timeline and technology better, where the show spreads that information out piecemeal through episode intros. The translation is decent, and I've seen reports that the quality goes in later books as the translator gets better at maintaining the authors style.
It seems to be a retelling of certain aspects of European history from a Japanese point of view which might be, say, interesting.
It is good, the space battles are based on actual European conflicts, and so they play out a lot differently than other shows, and that's the draw of the show. It's a genuine long form war as predictable and unpredictable as a real one. Neither side are really the good guys either, both governments are corrupt and failing in their own ways, both have heroes and villains and internal strife.
As an aside, the show makes excellent use of classical music for it's score and battles. It's worth watching the anime for that alone.
the genre was done to absolute death for decades.
And yet, people never actually tired of watching them, pedowood got tired of making them: https://infogalactic.com/info/Rural_purge
There was an expectation of heroism, family values, and pro americana in the genre, and pedowood wanted to make movies and shows about suburbanites and degeneracy instead.
Those resurgences were as you say, attempts to alter the formula towards leftism once it had been long enough for the positive expectations to have waned.
It was a lawless time
This was always government propaganda because there were far too many people living peaceful lives without the government.
Here's a deep dive into the actual history of the wild west, specifically that violence and 'outlaws' were so exceptionally rare, that's why we remember them all by name. The way that these 'lawless' people left government behind and maintained a proper civilisation is genuinely remarkable. And that's why the entire period must be deconstructed by marxists.

Props for understanding the real problem.
I can see it now, cop brings kid home with holier than thou attitude about it and kat fight ensues.
