We gotta remain vigilant.

Agreed, but I disagree about the first part. It being only available in webviews can't really be abused and makes all the difference. Sure they could try to reintroduce all the bad stuff, even if the had cancelled it altogether, but for now this is a success.

Robin Hobb's fantasy books would be interesting. Probably quite hard to adapt well though.

I don't really get that mentality. If the show is bad, the books are still just as good and you'll have lost nothing except maybe some wasted time.

Die Zivilisten dort tun mir leid, aber der Staat Palestina geht mir schon ziemlich am Arsch vorbei, insbesondere weil die Regierung dieses Staates die Hamas ist.

Ist sie nicht, dass du das denkst zeigt dass du kaum etwas über die Situation dort weißt. Hamas kontrolliert nur den Gazastreifen. Der größte Teil Palästinas (Das Westjordanland) ist nicht Hamas-kontrolliert.

Edit: Ich denke dass man für extrem grundlegende und leicht recherchierbare Fakten direkt Downvotes kassiert sagt eigentlich alles über den aktuellen Diskurs...

Finde den Diskurs auch ultra anstrengend, weil fast niemand offen für eine neutrale Diskussion des Konflikts ist, alles muss auf "Team Israel" und "Team Palästina" reduziert werden. Spricht man Israels Recht an, sich gegen Terror zu verteidigen, ist man automatisch für Bombenangriffe auf Zivilisten. Spricht man das Leid der unschuldigen Zivilisten in Gaza an, unterstützt man Terroristen, weil man ja nicht in einer langen Präambel erstmal den Terror der Hamas verurteilt hat.

I thought the same about CDPR.

Good to see them not switching to Unreal like seemingly everyone else.

Some typical lunch dishes for me:

  • Curry/vegetable rice
  • Potato casserole with broccoli
  • Jacket potatoes with green sauce
  • Ramen (using Kurata vegan ramen soup stock)
  • Lentil curry
  • Various pasta dishes
  • Spinach lasagna
  • Ratatouille

Coffee and croissant for breakfast, bread with various spreads for dinner.

I've been a vegetarian for about 20 years now. Other than that, I don't actively restrict my diet as I never got close to being overweight. My main meals are mostly healthy I'd say, but I do probably consume too much sugar.

HeartGold and SoulSilver improved upon gen 2 in almost every way while staying faithful to the originals. For me those are the perfect Pokemon games.

Now im not one to nitpick, but I don’t think thats something a commie would do right? I mean capitalists winning is supposed to be worse right? Am I thinking of this correctly? I mean thats one of my questions, like yall hate bigwigs but bigwigs are good when they fight the evil commies?

I'm a Democratic Socialist and I hold the "Democratic" part higher than the "Socialist" bit. A Socialist economy is not worth it, if the price for it is oppression and genocide. Socialism must come from the will of the people, not conquest and murder.

okay now im nitpicking but didn’t you say youd defend a capitalist country against a communist one, but critique when someone else defended a capitalist one?

I'm saying it's even worse when people calling themselves communist defend not only communist dictatorships, but also capitalist ones. It means they're just in favor of dictatorships, period. Or they're just incapable of any critical thinking and defend anything as soon as they see a hammer and sickle.

The problem with Tankies is their authoritarianism and their "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" mentality. I could never support a movement that supports horrid dictatorships of any kind. Even as a socialist, I'd always defend a capitalist democracy against a communist dictatorship. If NATO defends a small democratic country against an invasion from its large and powerful neighbor, I'm all for it, even if I'd rather have a European military alliance instead of NATO.

It's also absurd how they defend countries like China, which has perhaps one of the worst forms of capitalism, because they're nominally communist.
