I expected to see Zelda Ocarina of Time in the second picture 💀

Random niche question, was there ever a time where flag emojis were read out by screen readers incorrectly because they’re a combination of symbols under the hood?

Letter A4? Lol. Hopefully businesses start advertising things by the double-pounder-kg or the quart-Litre haha

Is letter A4 just A4 with emotional support?

Humans have build in leashes, it’s called holding hands

It’s worse than that, the tobacco regulator and the company with a monopoly on tobacco production/sales is the same organisation 💀

Holy conflict of interest Batman

The left-right spectrum makes less sense to me by the day.

However, I personally define tankies as authoritians who do some mental gymnastics to think that a benevolent “socialist” dictatorship equates to control of society by the workers. (It obviously doesn’t. A dictatorship by a minority is exactly that)

Anyone who defines North Korea as socialist needs to reconsider their political positions, in my opinion.

Just because they’re in opposition to the capitalist South Korea and the worst imperialist nation in the world, the USA, doesn’t mean you need to stand behind the North Korean regime…

All the cool socialists think campism is brainrot (my opinion)

I suppose we just enjoy different things about Star Wars then, for me it’s all about the world building, and seeing how characters act within it, the battles and action are just a climax to everything else (I feel this way about all sci-fi and fantasy).

Not saying you only watch it for the battles, but I do mostly watch it for the talking haha

It’s why I still very much enjoy the prequels, despite them being pretty shoddy on the plot (Anakin’s fall could have been written soooo much better written it hurts. Probably would have needed an extra movie to really sell it though. The Clone Wars TV show episode where Tarkin and Anakin meet for the first time was great if I recall correctly. It made kinda make sense why Anakin bought into fascism in the end.)

To me there’s no such thing as a food sci-fi and fantasy without politics (in the sense that there’s some disagreement which motivates people). More trade disputes and blockades please, less holdo maneuvers that break existing rules of the world. The holdo maneuver would have been great to destroy the Death Star with some Kamikaze X-Wings jumping to hyperspace through it…

The battles, to me, are only interesting if one fleshes out the world and the political disagreements.

I once started watching a Chinese fantasy show (was learning Chinese, and like sci-fi/fantasy) and it opened with a 10 minute battle, no context. Immediately turned it off, like why do I care, show?

Ah, I haven’t been keeping up to date! Shall check it out :)

Not in love with all of Disney star wars, but Andor is hands down the greatest Star Wars I’ve seen, so I’ll forgive them for the rest of the stuff I don’t like as much (not including Star Wars episodes 7-9, straight to jail)

I desperately hope you don’t mean episode 9.

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but damn, do you even like the rest of it? Or other sci-fi and fantasy in general?

The absolute disrespect of not bothering to try to create a coherent world in episodes 7-9 was staggering.

If a piece of media’s plot or storytelling is a bit meh, that’s forgivable, but when you’re just straight up not bothering to think of the logistics or established rules within a fantasy/sci-fi world? Please no. Please stop.

Or at least be writing something supernatural where there are barely any rules and you can hand waive whatever you like.

I’m with you, I use ISO 8601 exclusively at work, even in emails and no one has once questioned me on it.

The problem is the other formats still exist, so MM-DD is ambiguous.

Yes, but we can all agree DD/MM/YYYY is far more valid than MM/DD/YYYY which should be taken out back and shot

The only part I dislike about this, is that I can’t find on their website what portion of the $10 you pay will go to building something on the land.
