All this will lead to is less people having insurance when they drive, which will really make all parties miserable when they get into an inevitable crash. I would know because my insurance and I had a major headache chasing down a driver for almost a year without insurance who merged into my drivers side

Couldn't they get police officers involve?

... aren't tropey as hell.

I lost interest in anime a few years ago due to its prevalent tropes and excessive sexualization in many shows. I'm looking to re-engage and have heard positive things about Frieren.

Could you recommend anime similar to Attack on Titan, Mob Psycho, Jojo, Promised Neverland, and Made in Abyss?, A Place Further Than the Universe, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! I'm looking for series with compelling characters and immersive worlds, but lighter on tropes such as sexualization.

Please don't recommend Vinland Saga, though. I'm not a fan of historical stuff.

Look, I get how strict the plagiarism threshold is and that slips happens. But many at RE are (supposedly) college educated people and they should also understand how all this have been implemented and the mechanisms that made this more unlikely to be an accident. She was the dean the Harvard, so I imagine is a little humiliating that the dean of your big prestigious college is not held at the same standards of the rest of the students and staff. Is not difficult to understand why she didn’t have another option but quit after this and the political shitstorm that was the hearing.

And yes, this happens in other places and because both political and academic reasons.

also, when the people yelling "kill all jews" on campus aren't held to the same standards as the rest of the students and staff

It's not important. I speak Japanese and I still say Raiyuu when I'm speaking in English. Also Japanese people pronounce almost everything 'wrong' by default because all names get katakana-ized, so this isn't a problem unique to Westerners.

Worse than all of these are people who call Lara Croft "Laura". That's not even a mispronunciation, you're just calling her a different name entirely.

Hamas has said one of its top officials, Saleh al Arouri, has been killed in an explosion in Beirut - blaming the "cowardly assassination" on Israel.

Good

Good? Israel launched a drone strike in Beirut, Lebanon, risking further escalation of the conflict in the region. Only Israel can brazenly attack its neighbours and get away with it.

Yes good. They killed two terrorist leaders. Lebanon should stop harboring terrorists and launching missiles at Israel if they want left alone.

I'm trying to keep my head above water because my anxiety around the upcoming election is seriously dragging me back down into major depression, but this whole event just makes me wonder if the rise of fascism is inevitable in the US.

This is just that comic about Gamergate but after a find and replace with FASCISM.

Right-wingers being happy about it doesn't mean it wasn't justified for other reasons.

It's amazing how a fascist in a room somewhere thought about how to get you to post something this ridiculous, and succeeded.

The "plagiarism" scandal was a big nothingburger, and looking into it even slightly shows how little there was to these allegations.

Then why did she resign?

Now you know I haven't been looking at this thread with anything less than disdain. Allies, my ass.

This. Fuck y'all.

She mad about all the people on the forum defending the highly paid capitalist CEO who did wrong of the multi-billion dollar capitalist corporation with a long history of racial/ethnic discrimination and ties to white supremacist/capitalist institutions?

'The collective nation of jewish people' Nepenthe doesn't like this decision and is trying to astroturf opinion on the matter? I am shocked, shocked to my core

Biden and the US has botched this so bad. Everyone saw the warning signs months ago and its escalating in the ways people have said it would.

Like whats the fucking strategy here?

Couldn't agree more. We need a steady hand to lead us through these dangerous times

Mid Wizard Game

I feel like such an idiot for googling this, thinking I had missed all buzz about some indie magic-themed game.

If it was a mistake though and it won't happen again, what good comes from taking someone's job away if they are good at it? It just seems like a net loss for everyone involved.

RedMercuy of all the people there having the gall to say that. That suck up clown is one of the strongest supporters of online mob justice and getting people fired.

I'm literally crying as I type this. I'm so happy the trans genocide is over.

She's been getting a little more tolerable lately, mostly since joining the Destiny orbit, will give this a listen later.

essentially it's a grift to seem tolerable and garner ANY sort of audience since being cancelled by her own side, reasonable positions/conversations she would abandon immediately if she ever had a shot at public office

spoiler for the gist of the conversation:

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

"I too like Parasite Eve, accept me fellow millennial gamers"

"yeah I listen to your videos critical of the left, and I don't agree with everything you say, actually we disagree on a lot of things, but yeah you identify some real issues" (said like 20x)

"a lot of people were really hurt by gamergate, I know you didn't see it from that perspective but yeah, there was a lot of pain" (little-to-no pushback)

no moon bombardment discussed

none of the insane nonsense she signal boosted like the idea that her life was in actual danger, based on comedy videos from an obvious satirist

It's fun to imagine what that thread would be like if the various college presidents instead refused to condemn students who call for the murder of Palestinians, or made an attack helicopter joke or asked for the Snyder cut.

i can't believe the one major "platform holder" that wouldn't make a statement during the george floyd protests would allow an infowars game. i'm beyond shocked, jaw glued to the floor

oh well. guess that seventh yacht doesn't pay for itself.

Did Gabe Newell kill him to pay for his Yatchs?

You know who else didn't make a statement? IKEA. That's right. The same IKEA Mitzi Hitler shops at. Coincidence? I think not

[nampad]

Can someone explain why congress was hearing out those university presidents on antisemitism and why those people had so much issues with just answering yes?

A bit perplexed by the answer.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Because their campuses were full of Pro-Palestine protests where outliers were being anti-semitic and the colleges allowed it. Students were also going around tearing down flyers showing the Israeli's that were being held hostage by Hamas.
