  • Huh

    Jump

  • 1885 is way too recent. Anything past 1800 is Napoleon taking Europe, everyone's local consequences, and then WW1. There's a thousand and a half years of material to discuss before that even after Greece and Rome, this is only the very end and if you're paying attention.

  • You teach behavior and biases, but it's well observed that kids naturally don't see distinctions between groups of people until it is taught to them, and that kids do feel empathy naturally, and will feel upset about perceived injustices and such. Isolating a white kid so they don't see a Black kid until they're 15 is a learned thing, if they're raised in a shared environment, they won't see a difference. What you teach is how to act on it (like sharing), how to handle emotions about it. Restricting experience is teaching.

  • History lessons are a bunch of names and dates that you have to learn by heart. We went there, we made this place, we came back with this shit, we made a church. Here's a family tree. Even when learning about battles and borders, we don't get to ask "why were they here? Why were we there?" We just know that we were at war because this king and that king disagreed. Sometimes, at best, one of them just wants control of this location or someone's wife banged the wrong duke, but that's almost only for intra European conflicts - and Jerusalem.

    Ethnic social issues came very late. Jews and other wandering populations are completely ignored.

  • The bike Amiibo unlocks color schemes for the bike, there's a handful unlocked every 50km you ride (which seems to go pretty fast and I barely crossed the map once in one direction). So far I've only unlocked a classic Varia suit color scheme.

    Looking at a list, they're not terrible if you're into that, but they're a bit meh and I wouldn't be too upset if I was locked out of it. The default skin looks great.

  • Was Luigi Mangione read his Miranda rights during McDonald’s arrest?

    Jump

  • The issue is with the initial search. They can only search after they have the warrant, and they allegedly made the arrest knowing they would find a gun, and then got the warrant, and then "found" the gun again.

    Even if they claim that as long as they did find the gun, it means they were right - the problem is that, had they not known about the gun, they wouldn't have had grounds to arrest him, and therefore they wouldn't have a conviction. That sounds fine as long as you do find a murderer, but not for everyone else they search like that with no warrant.

    Even assuming the gun was real and not planted, the legal issue is that they can't be allowed to fish for anyone they want, even if they happen to land on the right guy - after countless other innocents. Forcing them to let an actual murderer free would, presumably, push them to think twice before violating random people's rights.

    And after that, they have to prove somehow that the gun wasn't planted while they had the bag and the owner couldn't check on them.

  • On cable TV / talk shows, that's "the host and the sidekick." Kimmel and Guillermo, Conan and Andy, some do that with the lead of the band (Colbert, Fallon, Meyers)...

  • If they prove that some of what's said about them is bullshit, then it invites questioning the veracity of the actual problems that we haven't made up.

    That's exactly how it works when the Nazis flood social media with nonsense. You just hav e to prove one thing wrong, that destroys their credibility forever and no one ever repeats what they say again.

  • Absolutely nothing

    Jump

  • Rebirth lays the groundwork for Shinra starting a world war to generate more lifestream material (anguish of war victims) and "replenish the planet" so that they can pump out more Mako, it seems to be going pretty hardcore about Shinra being pure casual evil ultra imperialist capitalist, with the side of growing religious takeover with who believes or not in the Promised Land (and I forget what they call the huge materia in Rebirth - magister? Magnus?) as a land of infinite resource to sell as electricity. Scarlet salivating at the Weapons, literal harbingers of the end of the world, for the giant materia they're made of is pretty on point.

    Also they made massive efforts on the worldbuilding with all regions each having their History dominated by their local war with Shinra. I'm eager to get Wutai and the revamp from the war in Crisis Core, and possible new mentions of the new Ever Crisis stuff like Rhadore and that recent pre-Wutai place. Shinra has been going from cartoon villains in the OG to openly pure evil of mankind.

  • You insist on "what is wrong in this article" .

    One of the things that popaganda does is sprinkling some real stuff to attract new people and then slowly feed them more lies.

    It doesn't matter if you stumble upon a few good articles with real quotes - the whole thing must be avoided to reduce traffic in their direction. The proper response is to find a different source with the same quotes.

    This is thinking critically. If you know it's from a propagandist, don't give them more food. Your version of "thinking critically" is just "listen to the people who sound more convincing, even you know they are liars and you can't find if this specific article has lies or not" .

  • Pronunciation evolution differentiated U and V more and people started differentiating that with an extra sign. As in, the Roman V was pronounced kinda like both and not like today's V - the Roman symbol V is not the modern letter V. You may notice that modern media about ancient Rome have been making Vs sound more like Us.

  • Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?

    Jump

  • How about

    Middleman anonimizer, pornhub sends the message to a middleman, the middleman puts its own token on the request, sends that to the gov, the gov responds yes/no to the middleman on the authenticity of the message, the middleman forwards the response to pornhub. The gov doesn't see pornhub, pornhub only gets the yes/no response, the middleman only sees the message with no ID and the response as well as the site.

    Requires a separate middleman maintained by who the fuck knows. Pornhub keeps your IP, the gov keeps your name, the middleman only knows the number of visitors on pornhub.

  • 'Star Wars: Rebels' Writer Thinks Making Sabine a Jedi Was a Mistake

    Jump

  • IINM, Mandalorian suggested the Darksaber felt heavier to people with zero talent in the Force, so minimal training is required, I think. IIRC there were discussions on whether this applied to all lightsabers, and I vaguely recall Rebels hinting at the same idea, I don't remember much but I think Kanan was already training Sabine in regard to the Darksabers for the same reason, and Ahsoka simply continued that plotline even though it got busted in Mando. But I don't know where that went or if that was really ironed out and standardized or if people kept writing whatever they wanted.
