Depicting racism is not racist.

You’re painting a picture of a constant churning racewar, which is just not true. Elves have an elven supremacy bent that’s not universe and portrayed as a flaw. There’s other depictions of racism that again are not universal traits. Dark elves have the most of it, but dark elves are traditionally the evil elves - though in ES dunmer are more complicated than that.

People from different cultures and species regularly get along even as nations war with each other.

It’s very expensive to make good content that a player can miss is why.

Ah! I wondered if it might be vowelless for such a reason. Fun! Big fan of Elam, but i don’t know many details of the language beyond the (increasingly solid, i believe) status as a sister-branch alongside Dravidian.

Thanks for sharing!!

Vowel do a disappear why friend? Is there a vowel harmony type deal and they change, are you just listing root constents like a semitic language? Or have completely misunderstood and “rMl t qb b sBsb zGK” is not supposed to be the Hearthsider pronunciations?

Yeah i figured that was the idea.

I think it hits my ear badly in part because i’m used to using person-first language where you tend towards adjectives instead of nouns to avoid the implication of reducing the whole of a person to a single trait. It’s a bit bs pc language games, but i have felt it makes a difference when used towards me.

Also i think the situation in Palestine is just not quite the same as colonialism in say australia or north america. Zionism is obviously settler colonialism, but the Jewish diaspora is itself the product of Roman colonialism 2000 years ago and Jewish people never completely left. Eastern Inuit and Yupik groups are considered native peoples and have only been there ~1000 years. Plus both Palestinian and Jewish people share a common Canaanite heritage, before the processes of diaspora and Arabization. Saying Palestinians are native implies at least a little that people with Jewish heritage are too.

Again, Zionism is obviously settler colonialism and should be opposed. I just don’t think you can easily compare that situation to the native/colonizer relationship elsewhere.

I wish it just said Palestinian. ‘is a native’ sounds awkward and demeaning to me.

leaders still standing in 2030 will be the ones honest enough to put the rehiring cost in the business case before the ink dries on the layoff letter.

Forbes is always willing to spout transparently fictional business ideology and so often just delusional. It’s really hard to tell when they’re drinking the koolaid and when they’re just selling it.

In business, leaders don’t disappear for making objectively terrible decisions and no company is ever going to consider firing employees a bad move. If rehiring is needed it’ll be at lower salaries because of a larger job-seeker pool due to all the firings.

Everyone will agree they all did the right thing and bonuses will be unaffected.

Pity, not sympathy. They still got grifted and will be laughed anywhere they go. I pity them that.

On one level i do have pity for anyone who got grifted by a nazi and wasted a bunch of money only to commit themselves to an endless stream of repairs and recalls while getting laughed at everywhere they go, all for a shit car with no resale value.

I heard an incredibly talented teen belt this out this, accompanied by her dad on guitar, after her older brother gave a masterful irish drum performance. Really top notch performance, but there are some… awkward lines to hear in that context.

PMOS (now) is one of those conditions where after you’re close with someone who’s open about having it, once you learn about it and get a sense of it’s contours, you can’t help but wonder how many people in your life have been affected by it. Like learning about adhd for the first time.

Quit using fb years back, maybe five? Have checked it twice to message people i’ve no other contacts for.

I’ve used reddit maybe a half dozen times since moving to fediverse during the 3rd party app exodus. Each time to find a specific niche thing, often to no avail.

So i’d say honestly no, but i never like social media much to begin with.

It looks to me less like plebs reducing each other’s numbers and more like the rich playing their favourite game.

US elites view it the same way, that’s why they’re all looting the place and developing closer relationships with the US empire’s rivals.

I don’t think you can say that no rites of passage means not becoming an adult. Rituals smooth or explain transitions, they’re not a requirement for the transition to happen.

And besides their are plenty of rites of passage into adulthood in the US - first car is huge, moving out of home, first job, etc.

I worked at big CA-based drug company, granted it was largely a phone-room but it was still a fairly serious job, with serious pay.

Most staff came up from CA and loved disney so hard. Disney movies were a topic at meetings, they expected everyone would know the characters, used disney references in presentations, characters as test patients, etc. Managers too.

Finding others who hated disney was like finding stoners at work before it was legal - all euphamisms and inuendo until you work out who to trust: “No i don’t really have a favourite character”, “I’m not familiar with that”, “No, I ugh… haven’t seen… i’m not super into… Oh thank god, yes, of course i fucking hate disney, who could possibly like the least interesting version of a fairytale marketed by a billion dollar empire founded by a nazi and evil enough to copyright happy birthday?!”

THERE IS ANOTHER ELECTION BEFORE THAT.

It’s two years away. It’s not even the next election! And this is all presuming that there even is another election, which is far from given.

There is absolutely nothing you can say about a hypothetic 2028 election in 2026.

It doesn’t work like that, i’ve already been allowed to attend at serious medical events without her being able to say so.
