Yeah, it's the water. That's the problem

It's not intended to be punitive. The idea is that slavery generated a massive amount of wealth for slave owning economies that left us richer and the descendants of slaves poorer. Think of it as being the child of a crime boss. You haven't committed any crimes but the hosue you live in and the school that gave you the education to get ahead were paid for with dirty money. The idea is fair, but just not likely to ever happen. I think the point is more so to make people recognize the problem so that more is done to catch up the people on the wrong end of the generational wealth spectrum

There was definitely a scene where they're sitting at the dinner table and the father is railing against affirmative action because his department hired a black firefighter.

Sounds familiar. When the Americans wanted to go into Iraq there was "unconfirmed" stories of Iraqis murdering babies in hospitals. The demonization of people is getting out of control quickly here. Posting stories like this without solid evidence is not only unhelpful, it's very irresponsible

This is the third post I've seen about Stanley cups and only now did I realize it had nothing to do with hockey. I was very confused how someone had spent $3000 on Stanley cups

I was impressed by how good Larian made BG3 in spite of using tabletop mechanics, but the Divinity games still had much better game play. I hope they start a new IP and add more of the roleplay options that made BG3 great, but with their own mechanics (hopefully without a charisma stat)

Kings quest didn't have character progression or choices to be made (at least in the ones I played). That's pretty core to qualify as an rpg

These kind of initiatives are actually pretty great. Like most english language media, video games are pretty American dominated. Funding to games with unique perspectives could lead to some really interesting projects. I played a really interesting game called Black Book a while back. It was a fascinating look into Finno-Ugric culture in pre-revolution Russia (and a pretty good game, too). I'd love to see more titles like that

I know it's pedantic, but that's a rogueLIKE. A roguelite has permanent upgrades

I'm guessing you don't actually know anyone who owns an ev. My coworker has been driving over 100km a day on his Leaf for nearly a decade and he's only ever had tires and brakes done on it. I'd buy an electric myself if I didn't need my truck for work

I thought it was bad where I live, but when I was in OKC it was so much worse. I've never been anywhere so hostile to pedestrians. Sidewalks were jagged and broken and just ended randomly wherever they thought they could squeeze more parking in. Despite being a small city there were highways EVERYWHERE. You could never escape the roar of traffic. My buddy who lives there is in a gated community and even if there was anything around (there wasn't) you couldn't walk anywhere anyway because the gate is pressure sensitive to the weight of a car so you can't actually leave unless you're driving. I can only hope the next generation of planners can mitigate some of the last generation's damage in our lifetime

? What a strange conclusion. Because someone may have lied about a largely insignificant detail of this war you're going to pick a side? Fuck Hamas and also fuck Netanyahu. I can't do anything about Hamas but I can try to stop my government from supporting Netanyahu

I bought a glue trap once and caught a rat. The poor thing was whining for hours until I finally had to snap it's neck by hand. Never again. I don't know why these things exist

Because it's a terrible idea? Elections are already heavily weighted towards name recognition. What are people who can't even be bothered to go out to vote going to offer to the process?

I think you missed my point. This is not about punishing white people, it's about getting the victims caught up.

This is exciting! I played this for the first time in years while visiting a friend of mine earlier this year. It still holds up! We tried getting online multiplayer going when I got home but had no luck getting it going. I'll have to keep an eye on this project.

Can't say I expected to see rimworld up here

I shared a name with a character on 90210. It was pretty annoying for a decade but it's been awhile since anyone has made that comment

"There goes the Courier. He really cleaned up this town." Keep doing God's work

The fear and anger is to get people to vote for them. That wouldn't go away under mandatory voting. Unfortunately, unless we can find a way to resolve the culture war that has spread globally now, that will always be an easy exploit
