Seriously, it’s a horrible argument to make in favour of real art. Who reads that and goes “sounds great, I’m in”? Yep. Nobody.

Das ist irgendwie unfair. Der Stollentroll ist deutlich sympathischer als Merz.

Usually the henchmen are actively attacking the protagonists, while the villain is already (seemingly) defeated by the time this line is uttered.
ahornsirup@feddit.orgto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be?5·9 days agoThat’s a vast oversimplification of the thought process and emotions that’s going on there and an extremely uncharitable one at that (most people have their own lives to worry about, it’s usually less “I can’t drive where I want to” and more “I have to get to work”), but essentially yes. That’s the reality you have to work with.

Antagonising the people whose support you rely on to effect change is a horrible strategy, the more of a disturbance protests cause to the average person, the less likely said average person is to be supportive.

Kind of, yes. A lot of it is historical accounts of varying credibility. But it’s important to always be aware that those accounts were written centuries after the events that they’re telling us about, and are heavily mythologised and extremely biased.

They’re doing it because the Israeli and American military use GPS for navigation and targeting.

Yes it’s worse than the RX 9060, but it’s also about $100 cheaper. If you’re playing at 1080p it’s a perfectly valid choice.

At home that’s the schedule because I have to get to work. It’s not a choice. But on vacation I’m not going to force myself to get up at 6 or 7. Certainly not if I’m out till 4, which is something that happens on occasion (less nowadays, but still).
We are not on the verge of WW3. Neither Russia nor China is going to rush to the defence of Iran.
Congratulations, you made it worse.

Abschreckung funktioniert eindeutig. Der einzige Grund aus dem die NATO Russlands Angriffskrieg toleriert ist die Abschreckungswirkung von Russlands Atomwaffen.
