I’m not demanding anything, I’m countering your point that silent disapproval means that it’s shunned upon. It’s not. I’m not blaming anyone for not stepping in, I’ve also not stepped in several times, but be aware that that’s enabling.

“Society is against this kind of behaviour” no it isn’t, it fucking isn’t. Sometimes individuals have good reasons, whatever, but the conclusion is that abusers feel enabled. And I’m not even touching the disparity between genders in these situations.

Piefed Voyager beta? Thanks for the heads up, I’ll look it up!

If you’ve ever been the victim of bullying you should already know that bystanders, by not stopping the perpetrators, implicitly validate it. That’s how the perpetrators continue.

If you have not been a victim of public harrassment, kindly, stfu.

You mentioned tons of fantasy subgenres, but the one I was singling out is sci-fi, which is not something classical fantasy fans are usually fans of.

If you put add SciFi into the bag and remove a huge part of the books, keeping only the bestsellers, no wonder the statistics are so different.

I’d say that it’s you who has skewed the comparison here.

I get your point but you are comparing phones with consoles. I don’t think that apple’s case can be used as precedent here.

It’s a reference to Goya a Spanish painter.we don’t really know if this painting was about chronos, that’s a theory.

Yeah, they sounds exhausting. At some point I would block them…

So they are annoying and imposing of their beliefs on others, there’s plenty of those in both aisles 😅

And there’s a huge overlap with conservative and antivax, and not much with conservative and vegan.

In any case, them being vegan is not relevant for the anecdotal example.

I’m pretty sure that being vegan is not relevant to the statements mentioned…

A comment on your note of the story, MH has never really been about story, but it has always been about the cycle of life and the balance of the ecology or whatever. The fact that we murder entire populations of monsters nonstop has never been an issue in the +10 titles they have. Idk why people are so pissed about it now.

It’s true that the low-rank story is too railroaded, but once you are out of the long tutorial, the game does open up.

That’s the sentiment that allows these rich fucks to avoid paying taxes without big backlash. First focus on collecting, then on spending…

It’s more nuanced though. Here’s how rich people use charities to gain wealth:

Rich person has tons of money that would be taxed if bill Y passes. Rich person creates a charity and donated 20% of what they would had to pay to the IRS to the charity, with that money the charity uses half for good causes and half is given to X lobby company, which then lobbies politicians to avoid passing that bill.

In the end, the rich person saved 80% of what they would had to pay.

Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.

This is a very rough outline of how they do it, but the summary is that they use charities to donate to lobbies while skipping taxes on the donation itself.

Have you watched the video or read the subtitles? Title is horribly wrong.

The title is completely different from what he’s saying he’s saying that deals should be public, not that they should not be made. What shitty propaganda title is this?

Booooy, read about sandy hook, the infowars dude lost a lawsuit so big he had to apparently sell infowars, and the onion won the bid.

Then the dude tried to null the bid or something, and the comic happened.

It’s really sad that the only alternatives we have are PP (ultra corrupt, aligned with rightwing policies that help corporations with little social movements bar none) and PSOE (corrupt, overspending in movements that will help society, but pocketing a lot of corrupt money on the way). I’m not even mentioning Vox, and Podemos was bullied into nonexistence with pressure from all sides.

For God’s sake, everyone forgot how the fucking president was in the Panama papers (M. Rajoy, aka mister X) and he didn’t have to resign, let alone lose elections?

At least this happened 2 years from elections, let’s see if the govt is able to pick up the good wave it was having lately. As corrupt as they are, at least they spend way more on society than the alternative (not counting Podemos/Sumar because for now they have 0 chance of winning).

At some point, if enough people are annoyed and the alternative is just as valid, the annoyance of getting used to the new term is worthwhile.

I was annoyed by the change like 5ish years ago, when the movement started, but now idc anymore.

I easily game +6 hours a day on Linux though. PoE 1-2, D2, modded d2, Cyberpunk, witcher3, ffxiv, Monster hunter world-ride-wilds, HotS (year the blizzard client works and with it all blizzard games without anticheat)… To name a few.
