wtf are you even talking about? the land grab is a real thing, i'd post a historical map but i know you've already seen it and know what it looks like ![lol lol](https://thebore.net/forum/images/smilies/laugh.gif)
The "historical map[s]" which every leftist refers to as a meme uses 4 different definitions of "Palestinian land" for each of the 4 maps and isn't even internally consistent within a couple of the maps.
To wit:
Quote: The right-most graphic (2000) seems to label as "Palestinian land" that land which is under the de jure control of the Palestinian Authority. And it shows as "Jewish land" the land that is under the de jure control of Israel. So it looks like we're getting a series showing who had de jure control of what land at what time. That's great!
Moving left, the next graph (1949-67) shows as blue "Jewish land" all the land under Israeli control during that time period. So far so good. But the green "Palestinian land" is not territory under control of a Palestinian sovereign. Those territories, at that time were under Egyptian and Jordanian sovereignty. The metric for "Palestinian land" now has switched from "land under Palestinian sovereignty" to "land not under Jewish sovereignty". Technically, one could say that's still the metric in the first graph (land that is or isn't under Israeli de jure control). That'd be more than a little shady (why should land under Jordanian control be labeled "Palestinian land"?), but I suppose technically it's not an inconsistency.
The next map shows the proposed 1947 partition plan. It has nothing to do with who has de jure control over anything. Neither Jews nor Palestinians had sovereign authority over any of that land at that time -- it was under British dominion. We've completely left the realm of "de jure control" for both Jews and Palestinians alike.
The final map, in 1946, is the most difficult for me to parse. It's obviously not about de jure control (again, it was entirely in British hands at the time). From what I can tell, it labels as Jewish land any land under private Jewish ownership -- a completely new metric. And is the green then "any land under private Palestinian ownership"? Nope -- the green is "everything else." Like the 1949-67 map, it's not even an internally consistent metric (let alone consistent across the four graphics).

There is also a weird drama between many Korean developers and feminists employees (Korean feminists seem to have a way more toxic and aggressive discourse compared to the U.S. centric counterparts), and obviously is going to take the side of the perceived progressive point of view.

Cultural Appropriation ![Bolo Bolo](https://thebore.net/forum/images/smilies/jBirOQoRVxMrb.png)
Do you feel colonised boredfrom?
I just accepted TexMex food. I can’t complain about it, I probably would love some of it. (Not this bizarre combination of Pizza, though). I already accepted TacoBell in my heart without even trying.
Is just annoys me how RE would not shut up about appropriation if it was Afro or Asian food made by a yt.
The Reeee types are just conservatives dressed up as progressives. Never seen a more stagnant, backwards-looking bunch of people in my life.
Food should be shared and any non-anglo culture loves sharing its culinary traditions because we generally love sharing food with others.
My "feeling colonised" comment was sarcasm because you're right. Any other food/culture would have had the harpies out there screeching about cultural appropriation. But Mexican/Latino food gets a big ol' pass because they love eating that stuff, but don't want to have to get a real Mexican to make it for them.

Nintendo came up with "second party" during the N64/early GameCube Project Dolphin days.
It was used to describe studios that weren't treated as poorly as the third party studios but still had limited access to devkits and documentation (Rare, Factor 5, DMA, Silicon Knights, Retro Studios etc.). They were making Nintendo games but not allowed the same privileges as Nintendo studios.

Quote:We all have games in our libraries that we bought, thought we would like, but realized we didn't when the refund time was over.
For example, I bought Devil May Cry 5, waited too long for the refund, and now I have a game in my inventory I will never play that I just want to get rid off.
But what if whenever a game isn't on sale, you could offer it up for a discounted price. Let's say that DMC5 isn't on a sale, someone is interested in buying it, but think its current price is too much. Then they can see that there are "pre-owned" versions of it from the store page. If someone buys "my" version of it for maybe $5 less, I get $5 for selling it, with the developer and Steam getting the remaining revenue from the sale.
I know the reason is "greed and money", but with a system like this developers could almost always have the extra number of sales that a regular Steam sale brings in. You could tweak the system and numbers. For me it's just that I don't want stuff in my library I'm not going to play, and I don't want to have to hide every game I regret buying. I don't care if it means just getting $2-3 of money for the sale as the depreciation of reselling something is what I expect for everything I buy.
You can call me a naive idiot as much as you want, but I don't see how some sort of re-selling system couldn't work or be beneficial to the developers. Uh, you're the one about "greed and money" because you want to resell a non-scarce item you don't fully own that didn't depreciate so you can personally cannibalize one of the sales. You want Valve to let you be GameStop but they do all the work for you while losing part of their cut.

At least most of the posts aren't insane. And some people are being properly DISMISSIVE of the idea that capital-G gamers deserve a cut of game sales:
Quote:I think it's telling that people are making up the most complicated sales rules and regulations ever creating for this not to immediately bankrupt every dev out there and I have yet to see a single realistic benefit to either storefront, the publishers or the devs
Quote:Wanting to ruin a working retail ecosystem because of buyer's remorse is the most human thing I'll read today I think.
Quote:Imagine wanting to destroy Steam as a platform because you don't like seeing Devil May Cry 5 in your library
Quote:Instead of wishing for the games publishing industry to gut its own sales like a fish, maybe use DMC5 as a lesson not to buy games until you are ready and want to play them.
Apart from deep sales, you don't get a gold sticker for owning a game earlier than you intend to play it. And even deep sales aren't a good reason to buy something you'll never play. It reminds me of when my mom would go to the supermarket and buy all kinds of stuff nobody liked or would ever eat, and when we complained she'd say "It was on sale." OK? You know what's cheaper than buying an unwanted item on sale? Not buying it.

Anyway it’s time for the annual top 10 best religious groups
1. Buddhists. As usual the baldy curry munchers come out on top. Unlike certain other groups the pyjama enthusiasts are more concerned about sitting still instead of bombing everyone around them.
2. Sikhs. Who are they? Nobody really knows, except they wear big hats and are usually found in convenience stores. Lovely stuff.
3. Hare Krishnas. Once they plagued airports and street corners. Annoying everyone on the planet with their flowery nonsense. Recently though they’ve risen up the rankings due to their almost total disappearance. Fantastic.
4. Hindus. Again, nobody knows who they are or what they want, but they can usually be found in neighbourhood restaurants worshipping elephants.
5. Mu-Ists. These witchy gooks do things on mountains. What things? Who cares. They’re not blowing up their neighbours and that counts for a lot these days.
6. Church of England Christians. Not to be confused with their homicidal counterparts. The COE is what Christianity would be if it had been formed by Eric Clapton. Diet racism, slight homophobia and tasteful bigotry all washed down with a nice cup of tea.
7. Wiccanism. What are Wiccans you ask. Wiccans, or Kathys, as they’re sometimes called are fat stupid women who buy overpriced tat and prance about in fields. Not to be confused with doggers.
8. Mormons. Yes, it’s true they dress like Nazi architects and often turn up at the door uninvited, much like the Nazis used to do but in fact Mormons aren’t Nazis. They’re just American homosexuals.
9. Jews. Jews or the Global Elite as they have taken to calling themselves recently, have been mired in controversy as usual. From Hollywood to Hawaii, their occupational antics have made them the bete noir of zoning officials everywhere
10. Muslims. The fez fanatics have been unusually quiet this year. Indeed, one wonders if they aren’t planning to challenge the Buddhists for the religion of peace title.

Wish someone there will call them out on these obvious knee-jerk bans because some mod has either shit reading comprehension or they got triggered/mad because a poster said something they didn't like, even though it wasn't a TOS violation or trolling. Also, call them out on their "three mods must agree to a ban" rule that's obviously bullshit. But of course anyone that would do this would be instantly perma banned and have their posts deleted.
