They dont need to learn anything. Its making them money, and thats their sole criteria for success. In fact given the AAA game industrys well known contempt for its consumers, theyre probably happier knowing gamers are pissed off as long as the money keeps flowing.

Also how did these series take off and become iconic? I didnt need CoD, because I already had the best FPS (Counter-Strike). I didnt need God of War, because I already had Devil May Cry. I didnt need PUBG or Fortnite, because that genre can go fuck itself.

i'd bet money it's also why the teacher wasn't really shook by it

But since society still doesnt give a shit about mental health, nothing will be done to address it beyond sticking him in prison forever while people cheer for it.

As I've said repeatedly.... hopefully it finally reaches a point where it becomes clear to Russian soldiers that they have a better chance at survival by turning against their officers or surrendering than following orders.
That occurring en masse is the only way this ends.
Until then...continue "educating" them, Ukraine!

Are there still reports of Russian soldiers entering Ukraine and immediately surrendering? I remember a brief wave of that happening and Ukraine even published a hotline for that purpose.

But which mega corps will they be? Microsoft, Disney, Apple and Google? Will any of those end up merging? What about Walmart? And the oil companies? Big pharma?

I think Star Wars generally sucks ass, but to its credit its a lot broader of a plot that they could do a lot more with.

Terminator is entirely based around traveling back in time to change the future, so either its repetitive or they remove that element and its just a generic machines vs. humans show. To me Terminator has never been about seeing the actual war, its been about what happens in the present to alter the future we dont actually see.

This x1000.

The series was never about the future war. It was established early on that we win the war. It doesnt matter how it plays out. The opening text even says the final battle would
not be fought in the future, but here in our present.

T1 was perfectly self contained, T2 was amazing and even though T3 was mediocre at least it still respected the basic premise.

Im not an asshole towards fat people simply for existing, but there shouldnt be any illusions as to why theyre overweight or why they didnt get picked for something based around aesthetics or athletics. It should not be they didnt pick me for the ballet team because theyre fatphobic! It should be I need to diet and exercise and work hard to get on the ballet team like the rest of these girls do.

If we disagree on this, it either means I truly am middle left because there are further left opinions than mine, or if it doesnt really matter and shouldnt be taken into consideration, then I was wrong and am all the way left, im fine either way.

Obese people don't complain about being discriminated against. "Healthy at any weight" is a strawman used by assholes who don't like the fact they're being called out for making fat jokes. It's just another form of "the left call everything racist these days!"

Protecting the federal government from people who would try to overthrow it and our experiment in democracy in general?

Well...

Yes, actually. This one would be one of the cases where a militia could be called up to suppress anti-democractic activities that threaten our government's integrity.

Not that it ever will. We have precious few examples of it happening already, and the Republicans have made damn sure that the 2A doesn't mean what it originally did anymore, just so they can sell more guns to people.

It's a lovely fantasy to imagine the Ohio republican legislature marched to jail at a militia's prodding bayonet so they can be processed and tried for their crimes... but shit that good never happens in real life.

Yep. Even if an armed populace is meant to be capable of unseating a shitty government, in practice those most eager to pick up their guns are eager to support fascism instead. Republicans worshiping police and military should be at odds with their "muh freedomz!" rhetoric, but in reality they worship those things because they abuse and kill the right targets (black people and Muslims).

UN have released many reports of Israel breaking human rights and done war crimes for ages, and yet they keep happening.

Absolutely, Syria was just an example. Our point stands - doesnt really matter that these things are being called out if there arent actual consequences attached.

But as Ive said for years, the UNs jurisdiction doesnt actually include developed countries, only small dictatorships. Otherwise many world leaders (starting with every US president for the last 70 years) would be on trial for war crimes.

Breathing something other than oxygen still flushes out CO2, so as long as the alternative gas you're breathing isn't toxic in and of itself, you won't suffer. (Nitrogen doesn't kill you when used this way due to toxicity; it just kills you because you're deprived of oxygen. Helium or neon or any other unreactive gas would work the same way.)

This especially makes sense when you learn that air is mostly made up of nitrogen, not oxygen.
