To be clear “CRT” when used by alt-right reactionaries is not the Critical Race Theory college level courses most people would expect. It is used as a bully word for the Right to rally around and push actual historical knowledge out of grade-school education (and it’s worked very well for them).
This makes no sense. No one’s telling you to publish your rules for WotCs benefit. They’re saying you don’t need to feel beholden to rules you don’t agree with. You’re not working for WotC, you’re “working” for yourself.
Yup. There’s a lot of dumb moaning about how it “went woke” and that it changed too much, but having played it, it’s biggest flaw (imo) was that it didn’t change enough. It tried to integrate humor and story that peaked in the late 2000s and mash it together with a “modern” setting and cast. And it didn’t help that the gameplay felt as aged as the humor. All in all, it was too medium for it’s own good, taking too few risks and not changing enough for a franchise that made it’s mark pushing the envelope.
If Embracer Group wasn’t frantically trying to right the ship, Volition would’ve been left alone. This is on the gratuitously large capitalist conglomerate that’s bought up every studio it could.
That would be preferred, personally. Or a setting on Lemmy to automatically collapse the images. This was a setting on RES for Reddit, but it’s probably not a pressing issue for the Lemmy devs right now.
I’m not “impatient”. I just think it’s dumb to have announced it so early. No one needs to know about development of such a far off project. It’s pointless.
More than half of U.S. dog owners expressed concerns about vaccinating their dogs, including against rabies, according to a new study published Saturday in the journal Vaccine. The study comes as anti-vaccine sentiments among humans have exploded in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic....
There’s also a lot of disagreement on if the Milwaukee Protocol works or if it’s something else entirely that we’re just starting to figure out, and if it’s worth the risks of things like lock-in syndrome if it won’t do anything helpful for most people. Radiolab has a pretty interesting episode about it all
More like 99.99999999999999999999999999999…well, you get the point. In all of human history, there have only been a handful of confirmed survivors of rabies. It’s the most lethal disease known to man.
You’re taking this way more seriously than it was intended. It was an off the cuff comment. I just took the known history of rabies and divided it by known survivors.
What’s the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have ‘found their audience’ but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.
The Good Place might just be my favorite TV show. It’s just so well done on every level and is one of few sitcoms where the main characters aren’t just terrible people. They’re not perfect or anything, but it’s just nice to see characters earnestly carrying for others and trying to be better people.
Parks and Rec is another show like that (also by Michael Schur) that I just love.
Such a good movie and a great showcase of Steve Carrell’s (and the rest of the cast’s) range, managing to be heartbreaking and laugh out loud funny throughout the movie.
Fifa has suspended Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales from all football-related activities following his conduct at the Women’s World Cup final in Sydney
AFAIK it all boils down to the fact that during embryonal development our cells, which at that point were just a blob of undifferentiated autonomous chemical machines, somehow managed to unanimously agree upon the cardinal directions (up-down, left-right, front-back) for future development - and thanks to this, we don’t have...
I mean, that’s what dna is for. These machines aren’t operating blindly (or even “cooperating” or agreeing on anything, really). They’re following the code that makes up who we are.
They don’t so much know where they are as much as they’re just interacting with what’s there in the way they were made to, which was all put there due to the DNA to function as a whole.
And to be clear, it’s all still amazing, just in a different way. Here’s Kurzgesagt video that helps explain how these cells “communicate” to do things like put a body together in the right order.

It’s certainly pretty conspicuous timing, but the guy is also almost 70, and been doing the job for over 30 years. It’d definitely make sense for him to just figure it’s time to pull back.
Did you mean $365,000,000? Or did you get confused by the “.”? Cause that’s used as a comma for numbers in a lot of European countries, so it’s $100k per day, not $100.
Also, it’d be exactly 10 cents per day, since $365k per year would be $1k per day, which 100 is 10% of.
Weird when you consider how little Jews we have in Ireland. Like, we only have one tiny Synagogue in Dublin. How exactly are they destroying this country?
If your single point is “trying to stop people only makes them do it more”, than no, it’s not a “leap”. That invalidates the very idea of having laws in the first place.
And fwiw, I’m not arguing in favor of this law, just against the idea you replied with.
