The problem with "shoehorned diversity" is that.. there's no "reason" for minorities to exist in real life, they just are. So if a character happens to be anything other than a white cishet man, is that shoehorned in, or a reflection of reality?

The truth is that shows are far less diverse by default than they should be. I don't exactly know what diversity it is you are talking about in she-hulk, as I couldn't find any exceptional amounts of it, but according to Gallup, 19.7% of Gen Z identify with an LGBT label, which means in a show that has 10 gen Z characters, two of them "should" be queer, with one of them being bisexual as bisexual people are 13.1% of Gen Z. But it's rare you even see a queer person in media at all.

Which then makes it easier for people to argue that we aren't the good guys, rhetoric useful for possibly changing our foreign policies. It's not ideal, but it's something.

Don't you know? Public indecency is only a crime for democrats.

But you would need a new foundation, or those copies will stop being collaboratively updated. In addition, it would be difficult for people to access the information again, without a new website.

Zuck is evil, but he doesn't seem to be stupid.

Elon on the other hand..

The axe forgets, the tree remembers.

You'd be surprised how many parents struggle with even basic stuff like "don't scream at your child all of the time". It should be easy and common sense, and yet so many fail at this..

Again, personal preference. What I consider a fun challenge you would 100% consider a slog.

In the end, it's personal preference, and so both play styles should ideally be supported.

I love a challenge, it's how I relax. If something isn't challenging for me I quickly get bored and stop playing. I basically need my brain to be stimulated and thinking and trying to properly relax. Which is why I often trend towards "hardcore" or difficult/brutal games.

Making the boss easier after I die to it would frustrate the hell out of me unless it was optional. I want it to be a challenge, not just something I can beat if I die enough times.

Back then Nazis were nearly universally understood as bad. Especially since there still were many living survivors of the Nazi's genocide.

If this happened today, the left would get endless criticism. But I fully agree we should bring this back.

It helps to determine the response your country will give

In the israel-palestine war, the west has been heavily involved since basically the creation of Israel itself. When it comes to the Ukraine war, it's about the aid Ukraine gets, and how we treat Ukrainian refugees.
