Are there any prince movies for kids?
Not a movie, rather a show, and also not complete yet, but The Dragon Prince on Netflix is pretty good. The titular prince is a dragon, but there are human princes as well, with one becoming a king actually pretty early on. And King Ezran absolutely tries to bring people together peacefully and with honorable intentions, though there is some action/fighting as well. Caveat, while it is a kids show, it might be thematically better for kids a bit older than 6, as some of the themes can be a bit dark for a kids show, but I'd just recommend you watch a couple eps yourself before showing it to the kiddo and decide for yourself if it's appropriate.
Also, someone else mentioned Avatar: The Last Airbender in this thread, which is also excellent, and if you happen to be familiar with that show, it has a lot of similiarities and it's some of the same writers and directors of that show.

The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook
Reply in thread
Sure, they like money. Who doesn't? But you have to admit there's a big difference between what Larian gave us for $60 with Baldur's Gate, and shit like $65 mounts in Diablo and $80 melee weapons in CoD and the various other chicanery ActiBlizz and other truly greedy companies have been pulling.
As such, in addition to liking money, I would argue the people at Larian genuinely care about making a good game that people enjoy. Cuz if it was ONLY about the money, they would've made a much different game. I imagine it helps not being a publicly traded company.

Postal worker is a government job, and they have a pretty good union. This person was never getting fired, it's not like they work for amazon.

Dragon's Dogma 2 launches to "Mostly Negative" review bombing after microtransactions reveal, and man, what a bummer
Reply in thread
Yeah, I thought I might be getting whooshed there, but I also thought there might be people that saw the shit they were selling for real money and just assumed it was a free to play game, cuz clearly this sort of monetization has no place in $70 games, but well...here we are.

‘Too many things unaffordable:’ Biden fires up price wars as inflation cools
Reply in thread
Might be the store you shop at is to blame. I can get a dozen cage free eggs for $2.49 at my local Safeway. I feel like some stores just refused to lower their prices back down after that bird flu panic. They're all greedy, some just greedier than others.

8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates
Reply in thread
I often use it to watch Hulu and such on my tv, as even though the tv has its own app, I can't put an adblocker on those, but I can use my browser through the steam link and have all the ads blocked. Just one other type of use for it!

Best Buy to End DVD, Blu-ray Disc Sales
Reply in thread
I'd say regular blu-rays are still relevant even. The jump in quality between regular blu rays to 4k ones just doesn't seem as substantial as the jump did between dvd and blu ray. or vhs and dvd. But maybe that is just my aging eyeballs that can barely tell the difference with this latest jump.

Texas Lt. Gov. Floats Removing Biden From State Ballot in Response to Colorado Dumping Trump
Reply in thread
Not sure if you're just arguing semantics here, but just for clarification in case you, or anyone else, is unsure why the other person might have said "accused felon", it is because Paxton was indicted for felony securities fraud back in 2015. He has used his political office to delay the trial since then, and has yet to be tried. 8 years and counting since the indictment without a trial. Hence, "accused felon".

While it does seem like something he would do, watch the clip, listen to his cadence. He is not comparing her to a car, he is using Mercedes as a name.

You may not, but also, maybe you do! Cuz the rest of your comment seems to fall in line with their values of empathy and compassion, and they don't worship or even believe in satan to begin with. They're a secular organization that tries to promote various freedoms for everyone.

Hey if you don't like the donut I'll take it
Reply in thread
It's dated June 22, so pride month. Seems likely they were just doing all the strawberry frosteds this way for pride. Bigots go through drive-thru, order a strawberry frosted, and then take it personally that their donut says it's okay to be gay.
Unfortunately, people like this will never STFU.

Texas Supreme Court rules against woman who sought abortion hours after she says she’ll travel out of state

It seems to be a direct response to your paragraph about your dad telling you to move to a city in Texas. I don't think they're trying to be confrontational, I think they're just saying those cities in Texas that you just said were recommended to you, are also expensive.

"literally"
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
However, the book DOES have "literary importance," as determined by it winning the National Book Award, winning the Kirkus Prize, and being a Pulitzer finalist.
Though I notice elsewhere in the thread you refer to those as "literature prices" multiple times, and would like to point out that they are, in fact, "prizes". Prices are the cost of things you buy at the store. Prizes are awarded for achievement in a given field.
As such, I do not believe you are fit to be the arbiter of what gets to be taught in English class. It is clear you could use a few lessons on the subject yourself, and besides, before espousing that a book should only be taught in one type of classroom (Social Studies) and not another (English), a person should probably read said book. You clearly haven't.
