I think we should support game development designed around “infringing” on some of their bullshit patents. I love Pokemon and they’re doing fuck-all with the franchise, so I’d love to see more indie devs’ takes on the concept. Have you seen all the really cool “fakemon” that have existed for decades on Deviant Art?
Adding to what Kolanaki said, these kinds of abuses are unfortunately pretty commonly unreported in Japan because of social pressure against the victim.
In particular there’s a practice of mentally abusing workers until they resign to avoid firing them.
Sexism and homophobia are alive and well because they’re rooted in a culture of conformity to social norms which punishes those who stand out.
And I don’t mean to be xenophiobic about this; it’s just information I’ve gotten from LGBT manga authors and the news. I in no way think there’s anything inherently wrong with Japanese people or that their culture is without value. I don’t really trust any large corporations to begin with.
How the shit am I funding criminal activity when I don’t pay them anything?
Honestly, chapter one is way too long, and a bunch of very important plot stuff was for some reason cut as optional content in chapters 2 and 3. I can’t understand their decision there, but I do think it’s very worth muscling through chapter 1 to get at the good bits, and make sure you follow all those side quests.
There’s a few “words” in this thread that I feel are stretching the concept. “Köksbord” is written as one word, but it literally means “kitchen’s table”. A “bookshelf” and a “book shelf” are not different things.
I feel like “skadeglad” is a bit more in the spirit of things though because the combination of the words implies a more complex idea. It could be misinterpreted as meaning sadistic by just a literal reading. More like “every day” vs “everyday.”
I’ve found that this is a cousin of the word “couch” (as in the furniture) in English. Their ancestor referred to a bed or nest.
I wonder about this sometimes because you can append “huh” to an English affirmative to make it into that meaning, as in “yes-huh”. The questions I’ve been asking myself is whether such a phrase is one word or two. Is it the same word as “yes”? But even still, it’s not allowed to be used by anyone wishing to appear mature or professional, so it doesn’t exist in every lect of English, which I suppose makes it less of an “English” word as such.
Swedish has the word “jo” which means the same as “doch” here, but it’s different in that it doesn’t also mean “but”. I feel like it’s most often followed up by a clarification of the supposed truth rather than left as a single word. Picturing it by itself has me feeling frustrated like the speaker is only answering as shortly as possible and otherwise ignoring me.
Man, I don’t want to knock thorn use in English, but you’re using it where eth should be.
I get what you mean about killing innocent people along with the bad, but I can’t think of how it would be possible to stop an aggressor if no amount of collateral damage is acceptable.
But the idea of politicians needing to wear suits is arbitrary too. Why keep meaningless standards? Something should have to be causing an actual problem to not be allowed.
That’s only because it’s unusual though. If more people did it, people would stop noticing.
You might also enjoy the Payday series, wherein you and your friends shoot a bunch of cops.
That’s also true of traditional searches because the resulting webpages can just be whatever bullshit someone wrote. It will only be true that they said it. You still have to use your brain to assess the trustworthiness of the info.
You must meet at least 3 of the 10 criteria* below, or provide evidence of a one-time achievement (i.e., Pulitzer, Oscar, Olympic Medal) as well as evidence showing that you will be continuing to work in the area of your expertise. No offer of employment or labor certification is required.

Many people go out of their way to transform their bodies, from diet and exercise to drugs and surgery. My question is why not? It’s your flesh puppet; decorate it how you like.
The funny thing is, I could copy the AI’s work, but I couldn’t create it from scratch because I wouldn’t know what it should look like without looking at it, so it would still be using AI anyway.
I didn’t say that victims can’t be abusers, nor did I say that he was a hero.
People who’ve done harm need to be prevented from causing further harm, but it’s important to acknowledge the root cause of their behavior if you want to stop future iterations.
I think that the OP is entirely a joke, but that it comes from the very real villain of systemic injustice that pressures us all to lash out. I think one could see the film as inspirational insofar as being inspired to take violent action, but I would hope they direct their aggression towards worthy targets.
I’m pretty sure the bad guy was the fucked-up system that tortured him into his behavior. He’s a victim as much as any of the people he hurt.
Yeah, but that’s actual copyright infringement. I want more Palworlds and Cassette Beasts and Monster Sanctuaries, and I want them to be really blatant about things like summoning your monsters to ride them.
