Felt like that went out the window so fast too. Like as soon as Facebook became popular, suddenly it was totally fine to post your full name online.
I am highly in favor of having more strange creatures haunt the website
Probably not objectively the worst movie I've seen, but Enemy at the Gates has been taken so literally by so many historically illiterate people that I've grown a burning hatred for the movie for basically slandering the entire Red Army and a few real people who were characters in the story. Kay and Skittles has a really good video on just how bad it is even beyond the "every other person gets a rifle" and "barrier troops gunning down retreating soldiers" shit.
I just struggle to imagine we'd be in anywhere close to the position we currently are if the rest of the world had followed the example of AES states, particularly China, and had actual serious lockdowns when the WHO declared the pandemic, followed by local lockdowns for local outbreaks, along with mobilizing the military to go door to door handing out food so people wouldnt have to risk going to grocery stores. But the West couldnt abide that, because the line might keep going down for a little while longer. I think the US turning it's working class into a petri dish for COVID mutations was just about the worst possible thing that could've happened, while the entire bourgeoisie kept adhering to COVID precautions. But maybe you're right and we wouldn't have been able to fully stop it regardless. It just bodes very ill for whatever the next pandemic will be.
The West really fucked the rest of the entire world by basically not doing fucking anything and then hoarding vaccines. Just another iteration of the West fucking over the rest of the world for centuries I guess
Hot take but the "egg prime directive" is harmful. If someone might be trans, I dont see any reason not to help them navigate the process of interrogating their gender. Worst case being they remain cis with a deeper understanding of themselves and gender, and hopefully come out the other side with less blindspots about the trans experience? Every cis person should go through that imho. Worst case for the egg prime directive is that a trans person goes a significantly longer time before realizing transitioning would greatly benefit their life, which we all know the perils of.
Deleting all cookies from hexbear/chapochat was the fix iirc. I had to use an addon called EditThisCookie2 in order to do it properly though
The Americans was really good. I've been working my way through Babylon Berlin which has been very good so far.
I've really enjoyed Divinity Original Sin 2. The combat is really engaging, especially with a lot of the creative class mods on the workshop. I've heard great things about Baldur's Gate 3, but unfortunately I don't have the hardware for it yet.
