Great observation.
You asked for examples and sources - I gave examples and 2 sources. Maybe it's drastically different where you live?
My challenge to you is - what are you doing to change the narrative where you live?
Anyone can sit from the sideline and comment that nothing has changed since these protests took place - it's a lot harder to get out there and make the change happen. Maybe you're already making those changes already, in which case - keep going!
Do you think that the needle has moved in a positive direction since these protests? Even if it feels like only a few millimetres?
Starting from the bottom of this list: 5. There's more women in the workforce than ever before https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/75-006-x/2022001/article/00009-eng.htm 4. We've seen a drop in poverty since 2017 (but it's climbing back up!) https://www160.statcan.gc.ca/prosperity-prosperite/poverty-pauvrete-eng.htm 3. As a direct response to Trump, Canada elected a Centre-Left Prime Minister in Marl Carney's Liberals when the election was decidedly going to be a Rightwing landslide with the Poilievre's Conservatives. 2. Green, renewable energy has never been more popular.
That's not to say our job is done and everything is a utopia now - we still have a lot of work to do. However, we do need to acknowledge when things have moved in a good direction or we'll be overwhelmed by the bad and lose hope.
You've gotta see some of the good through all the shitty headlines that want to make you click and feel bad.
Ever since Tom Nicholas' video criticising Veritasium's channel, and then how Veritasium handled the criticism after in the comment section... I haven't really watched any of Veritasium's video anymore.
Excellent! I love a boycott where I don't have to change anything I'm already doing!
I still love Sync and use it every day, but it hasn't been updated in a year. Everything seems to be working fine, but I do think about when something breaks if it'll get fixed...
It takes a lot of strength to change what was probably a core part of your identity - I respect your change.
Safety razor with any blade like Wilkinson, Feather, Gillette, etc. I personally have not found a huge difference between them, but I also shave immediately after getting out of the shower without any shaving cream which some people might see as psychotic.
I went to a safety razor years ago after getting into it on a shaving subreddit and have never looked back. I bought a variety pack for like $20 CAD of razor blades 5+ years ago and I'm STILL going through them.
I agree. We're not the first ones to point it out, but theres a strong argument to be made for graphical style over graphical fidelity. Working to achieve a particular stylised choice tends to give a visual medium greater longevity.
There's a reason why people remember details about Jurassic Park over something like Avatar; or Star Fox over the latest Call of Duty.
Technology has made some things look better over the years, but the things that really get remembered visually are the style choices.
Just because one game takes up a quarter of your hard drive doesn't make it more impressive than a sub 1 GB game.
What is in the deer's eye in the last panel? A reflection? An alternative that never was?
Patient gamers unite! I wait until that game I want hits AT LEAST -75% off.
The only exception I've had for that rule for myself in recent memory is for Monsterhunter games.
You look hard enough (or maybe not very hard at all) and you can see which developers and companies can't do launch days very well, or release too early. Blizzard/Activision, CDProject Red, Ubisoft, and Microsoft come to mind.
It's the smaller to mid-size companies that have something to prove that release something more polished. Not always the case, but you've gotta stand out somehow.
Thinking of your Superman example and an ubermensch having to think about everything, I think several comics and media that have explored aspects of this idea.
I remember reading that there's a Spiderman story arc where it's revealed that Peter Parker is holding back his "true" strength for nearly the entire time he's been Spiderman. It's only been his true strength of character that has made sure that he "pulls his punches" far enough back so as to not kill or harm the people he's fighting or saving.
I also think about Robert Kirkman's Invincible comic/animated series that explores how powerful people decide, either intentionally or accidentally, the fates of those around them, often with dramatic and violent conclusions. Invincible is the story of Superman if Clark Kent wasn't raised by an American family in the mid-West and was instead raised for another more sinister reason.
I also really likes the news that said, "There have been no fatalities involving cyclists this year." Great news!
