I don’t know, people keep saying it’s nice to disconnect from the Internet. People who’ve lived without it long term and have a good real life community is probably doing ok. It’s not a need to thrive as a human being. Seems like a detriment in the long run.

There are many articles around this topic and offerered alternatives. Though I don’t think there’s a consensus yet. Companies and individuals who made the change all did something slightly different.

It’s a “box” instead of a dongle now. Called TV Streamer. Essentially the same thing.

Just saying a general reason Canadian golfers go South to the US. Not specific to the story itself.

I do agree with you. But people also go for the warmer weather.

To add on, yes there is homophobia, but not the religious “they’re going to hell” type. Purely from a reproductive/family lineage stand point. People don’t care as much societally, unless it’s their own children, because that’ll end their own family lineage (but science babies is possible). Especially if it’s their only offspring from the result of the one child policy, the parents can be quite upset. If they had like 5 kids, and 1 is homosexual, most modern Chinese people would not care. But laws wise it’s still very don’t ask don’t tell, so there’s not many rights, but laws are generally not actively vicious.

Internally, China has been producing a lot of queer media. TV shows, comics, novels, animations etc. so far they mainly just need to not be “pornographic”

The crackdown on the media is bundled with restrictions on overt sexual content (gay or straight), video games, foreign media depicting “feminine” men (ie. Korean media), and whatever else they think distracts from baby making.

But queer media is judged a bit more harshly for sure.

This is a factual statement. Whether people like how it sounds or not.

It is true, though lacking fail safes of a real democracy is a dangerous game to play in the long term, even if technically positive in an instance. As most autocratic leaders seek to gain continuous and more power. Or their predecessor does.

I’ve had some while I was there, it was like beef but more tender, very good.

Went to PAX, the rest of the convention floor smelled fine. The smell at the tabletop game floor hit hard.

Are you okay?

Interesting. Maybe because I’m in Canada. The polarization is pretty nuts down there.

Iranese? It’s Iranian.

That’s super well done? How did she stabilize the small berries on the sides?

Hmm, I’m not sure that’s an issue. Do you automatically think that people think Joe Rogan or Seinfeld when they think of standup comedy? That’s barely what they do. I’m sure most people are neutral or maybe like the same comedians as you. Don’t overthink it.

Whenever I’ve brought it up as something I enjoyed, people will ask who I like and we have a fun conversation about it.

I think the same gatekeepy gamers that make fun of people just playing NHL or CoD are the same snobby people who make fun of casual players that just like to play match 3 games. Let people have fun.

FC is literally like 75% of EA’s income. I wish they took more risks with stable income like this. The problem is the large amount of people they keep hiring are product managers with business degrees. Stangleholding the creatives who love games with conservative business strategy and market research.

This is a lesson on marketing. “No Kings” rolls off the tongue. Monarchy invokes autocracy/dictatorship, it’s an easy transition into connecting that it’s the opposite of democracy.

“Rulers” kind of include democratically elected ones. “Oligarchs” are too targeted and a big word. And like you said, there are other problems too.

What’s why “Fake News” and “Make America Great Again” worked so well. Simple and stupid, an elementary schooler can read it. And have enough ambiguity that they can be interpreted however the listener wants to.

The organization had tried other slogans for their protests, none brought out more people like “No Kings”. Give people what they want I guess.

Yeah, a UK friend of mine mentioned that it is meant to prevent kids from playing hooky (ditch school). Meanwhile in Canada, we’re free range children.

It does probably depend on the school location.

I enjoy her so much on the show. Did not know about her at all before the Daily Show. Her name is also really cool.

My aim is currently at big tech and food conglomerates specifically. I still have a soft spot for small businesses and B Corps from the US. If they go out of business, then all that’s left are the corpos.
