I get things like “enlightenment”, etc. But the average person (at least in the US) that isn’t already Catholic has a strong possibility of already being told they aren’t real Christians, and isn’t going to know or care about etymology, and will assume it’s Lucifer. They could call the main character Satin after the cloth and it’s have the same effect, even though they aren’t related.
It’s simple word association. I’m aware of the Latin translations. I’m also aware that most people are not going to think about it too long, and immediately going to jump to conclusions. They also believe in Bigfoot. What end of the Bell curve are we talking about, here?
I dunno, he’s a serial killer trying to remake the world by looking everyone he doesn’t like and it’s pretty mainstream.
Even without that, drawing attention to Light seems weird. Could’ve been “Peace”, “Faith”, or “Love” or whatever.
This is just 12 years of Catholic school talking, but it’s a strange name to pick that ties to a lot of less than desirable stuff.
So they choose Luce, so close to Lucifer, and they expect the Internet to NOT bring it up? There’s Lucy, Daughter of the Devil on Cartoon Network for shit’s sake.
Nevermind the connections to Death Note, a far more popular anime about Light Yagami, and the subtle connections between his name and Lucifer the Lightbringer.
This seems so much worse on it’s face, even if you leave out the undertones of children’s abuse by the church and Rule 34 that will come out (which are worse, but the church keeps trying to bury it)
I’m speaking mainly of the distrust against the public having access for fear that we’d abuse it and not give them a cut. We can’t have access to these things now, but we used to. Regardless of form, regardless of piracy.
It’s more of a move to restrict ownership when you make a purchase, that has a farther reach than just games. I could see this being applied to cars, houses, etc. In that you only rent a license, and don’t actually own anything. I see this as just a first step, and the logic they use to justify it doesn’t make sense.
Now what IS “Attempted Murder”, anyway? Do they give out Nobel Prizes for “attempted chemistry”?
We used to rent these games from Blockbuster Video! On DVD when we had DVD burners and little to no drm! How did it suddenly not become acceptable?
Mixing water and sand? Is he referring to the Falling Sand game? Just missing wax and fire. What a throwback.
I love shakshuka, but only had it as a dinner. I’ll have to try it as a brunch. My understanding is it’s kind of made with whatever’s on hand, but mine looks like yours. It’s delicious! We try to make naan or some other kind of bread to go with it, as well.
I bought a cheap Vizio, and never connected it or let it connect to anything. All it does is power on, and go to HDMI-1. My pc it connects to does everything else.
If you’re concerned about privacy on your tv, I would recommend migrating away from Roku as well.
Well sure, but the alternative is to stop being the absolute richest people to have ever existed. Surely the existence of all humans is worth less than that!
They will try to buy their way out of it. On an individual level. Water shortage, they’ll pay more for water. They’ll pay top dollar to keep the a/c on, etc. when no amount of money will help and they didn’t plan ahead with Zuckerberg-style bunkers, they’ll just die like the rest of us.
And the billionaires will possibly be killed in their expensive bunkers, if the Fallout series taught us anything.
That might be one of the scariest things he’s said so far. I’ll send this to my friend and relatives that support Trump but aren’t actually citizens (crazy I know, but I’m in Oklahoma where fox news is on every public tv). Maybe this will snap some of them out of it finally.
Maybe like… Kill All Humans?
I would, too. Which is the more exciting job? Unfortunately there probably isn’t much call for a trebuchet bombardment these days.
I’m pretty sure he got that fixed. I don’t notice it on his newer stuff like the new top gun, at least
That’s a really innovative idea, and solves a lot of transportation problems since phonographs were usually stationary in a house.
However, the size doesn’t fix the problem of carrying around 10" disks to play on it, so the setup is only as compact as its components. Still better than carrying around a cabinet, though!
He should drop an album while he’s on top!
We won’t understand until it starts happening to us. Not to worry, it’ll hit everyone soon enough. The ones already alive today in our cushy first world insulated biomes will feel it.
Unfortunately, only the ones without the power to make any changes will be the ones that suffer most.
