Extremely squishy creature
Don't they puff up when they're stressed?
So this person is just abusing a wild animal on camera?

Ancient Historians v. Modern Historians

If we actually had lots of surviving material like that it would be amazing.
Before the early modern period it was rare for people to write down boring or mundane shit because writing was hard and expensive.

Why do you believe that Lenin's narrow and skewed definition of imperialism is the only true and authentic one?
The word was in common use for at least 100 years before Lenin even started writing, mostly used to denigrate French and British expansion and colonialism.
I believe Marx would also disagree with Lenin on this definition, but I understand that .ml are much bigger fans of Lenin and Stalin than Marx.

I have 20 500GB HDDs I got for free off a client who was disposing of some old desktops, daisy chained through a series of powered USB hubs currently hosting my Jellyfin and Immich content.
I regret nothing.

Interns don't actually do shit anyway.
He'd still have nothing to do in the office. Actually most people in an office are doing nothing regardless of title in my experience.
As Ranzispa says, he goes there to chat and bother everyone else rather than actually work.

Corpos agreeing to a two year delay makes me wonder how much of a shit show development has been so far.

We can already feed everyone. We just choose not to. Space travel has nothing to do with it, but we should do it anyway.

And they don't do regional pricing. Buying a game on GOG is nearly twice as expensive in my currency compared to someone in the US or EU.

I never actually saw the mail before. I read the GOG apology and assumed they used runes that looked a bit too similar, but looking at the screenshot they full on used the Siegrune at least.
Rereading the apology, they might not be Nazi's but they're definitely not sorry enough to give a proper apology for using Nazi imagery. That's not a good look either.

Are Japanese men just ... problematic
The President of the United States raped children, everyone knew it, and he was still elected with the consent of the majority of Americans.
I don't think it's specifically Japanese.

In a two party system as extreme as the US, and with FPTP voting, there's a real risk that losing an election will forfeit rights that you'll never get back. Would you still have a vote after another 8 years of conservative rule?
I rather think that infiltrating the political establishment and dismantling it from within (like these politicians seem to be doing to some extent) is much safer and doesn't risk the need for violence.

To continue on your train of thought, how many Ukrainian children should die to save the life of a Russian child?
Russian parents can decide to end the war today. Ukrainian parents cannot.
