    Fuck Mr beast and anyone that thinks charity is a reasonable replacement for a fully funded social welfare system.

    The existence of people should never be dependent on the whims of a benefactor.

    I’ll clarify by saying modern imperialism has caused issues in this area.

    I’m calling the other person ignorant because prior to 1948 that area had conflict for a long time.

    Can certain aspects of what constitutes ‘race’ be performative? I.e. are their certain clothes, behaviours, voice characteristics, words, body movements that make someone a particular race?

    Or is race physically defined?

    If it’s the former I can see a case for transracialism.

    If it’s the latter it’s more difficult for me to see it being possible.

    I just want to say that I understand the reference for this and for anyone wondering there was a video of a cop who thought an acorn falling on a car roof was a gunshot and he immediately empties an entire magazine into a car while wildly combat rolling like a terrified toddler.

    The body cam footage would be hilarious if it wasn’t so fucking terrifying.

    It’s annoying me because that commenter is using a diminutive to try and anthropomorphise a robot.

    You can anthropomorphise it but at least have a basic understanding of the dimensions of the thing you’re trying to make cute.

    Yeah I called them all those things and I still do.

    Steam doesn’t have a monopoly on digital games distribution if you’re unhappy with their service just use another one that allows you to own a direct software license.

    Stop being a conspiracy nutjob.

    You don’t get to use a lack of higher education as an excuse to be ignorant though. Not saying you do, but there are people that take the idea that just because there are stupid people who are highly qualified means that all ‘experts’ can be disregarded. Not true.

    There are plenty of intelligent people at uni, just like there are plenty who never did higher education.

    The things that both of those groups have in common though is that they are curious, intellectually honest and can be reasoned with when presented with evidence.

    Caveat I don’t have kids.

    Can’t kids just miss a meal if they don’t want to eat it? Not like a kid is going to die from one missed meal.

    It’s privilege.

    When people don’t want to talk politics it’s because they have the luxury of not being affected every moment of their lives about said politics.

    I.e. easy to switch off the ‘trans people should die’ rhetoric when you’re a cis gendered middle aged white man in a western country.

    Wealthy people’s experience of university is very different from someone who attends purely on merit.

    University isn’t some great filter that distinguishes legitimately intelligent people more often than not it’s just a tool to separate social classes based on arbitrary expertise requirements.

    According to the article ‘the Australian Federal Police (AFP) will allege that an analytics specialist from the AFP's Criminal Assets Confiscation Taskforce deciphered Mr Jung's cryptocurrency account's "seed phrase".’ The word ‘decipher’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I’m wondering if they socially engineered or just found it written somewhere in the house? Anyway, curious as to how they did it.

    I’m assuming because it’s the end of the standard year blizzard is trying to squeeze money out of everyone but each time I check the shop the standard pack bundles I unlocked for reaching bronze, silver or gold etc have disappeared. Do they only unlock for a certain time? Or are they only there for certain ranks? Anyone have a list of all the bundle tiers?

    Some tips: - Unless you’re playing hot and are confidently legend (i.e. you’re holding your own when you make it to legend) then all the usual advice applies with this brawl, don’t bother. - You really have to know your opponents deck and mulligan for cards you know will give your deck the best chance at winning. - I played optimally with my deck but one mistake did cost me a game so you will be punished for sub optimal plays. - You do have an element of luck with matchups but I faced two decks which are hard counter to my decks (Thaddeus sludge warlock) and won because I played around their combo trigger. I stress again, you have to know your deck and your opponents very well. - Don’t take excavation rogue as your deck unless you are sub 1000 legend, you’ll die. Would I recommend earthen paladin? The meta for the brawl has shifted a bit more to value decks I chose this deck because treant Druid and excavate rogue is so popular and this deck hard counters Druid and performs well against rogue players who play suboptimally. Earthen will not perform well against Reno decks unless you get a very good draw.

    What do people think? Good/bad? Is it cheaper now to just roll a new account with no standard cards and get 1000 cards? For me it may seal the deal to buy the Showdown prepurchase bundle.

    On the other place I constantly saw memes of shows that I thought ‘well if they’re that popular they must be pretty good’ Shows like: Avatar, The Office, Parks and Rec and IT Crowd I’ve watched them and I just don’t get it. They aren’t so amazing that they are worth that level of adoration IMO. Avatar has its good spots and Parks and Rec is pretty enjoyable but I cringe at American office and IT crowd is forgettable. However a show I actually really like, Community, only started getting the same type of treatment after the pandemic because people watched it on Netflix. Although it’s still not as popular as these others. Are people just really basic or am I out of touch? Anyway, what show did you watch and think ‘I don’t get what the fuss is about’? Maybe it was Community?

    I’ve returned to Hearthstone after 5 years (I boycotted every blizzard game after their treatment of Blitzchung) wondering what the best way to be a FTP player is now? Is Arena still the best use of gold? How should I get gold now? I see that quests have all changed. Any obvious ‘to dos’ I should be aware of?
