It was described to me as "Dev Patel and his army of transgender women fight fascists" and that's exactly what I got. 10/10

Cringe-ass LARPer. White guy in the global north who calls himself a third worldist. Self publishes his own half baked articles as "The Selected Works of Jason Unruhe". Also, pretty sure he's a transphobe.

Basically, he's a loser you shouldn't pay attention to

This could kill the MCU

Oh boy, I hope so!

Speaking of, I kinda miss when Pokémon spin off games could literally just be anything. There was so much creativity, and the franchise just doesn't have that kind of ethos anymore

"Do NOT f*ck with forklift operators born in Idaho in August 1987 who own German Shepherds and drive a cardinal red 2005 Dodge Neon"

Ok, but if we ever get official Hexbear t-shirts, I want one that says this

To be fair, being in my Highschool's Model UN made me very stupid.

I was once in a historical simulation about Revolutionary China, and I slipped into a resolution a provision about killing all landlords via hammer and sickle lobotomy

Ok, yeah this makes sense. This footnote is backing up the "suez crisis formed the basis for a growing US-Israel Alliance" claim, by pointing to a separate historian who's making the same claim (Since of multiple people came to the same conclusion then you can argue that the evidence points to that interpretation of the facts of the case).

And the explanation given by the other author gives two reasons:

  • Ihe US didn't want to invade, in order to paint itself as more restrained than the Soviets, re: the Invasion of Hungary.

  • Israel could serve as an imperial outpost, and thus a check on Arab leftists, like Nasser, in lieu of an invasion.

Explain like I'm a dipshit, what are 3 of their important contributions?

This is a pretty standard summary of the Suez crisis tbh. Geopolitics is weird, and sometimes leftists make major L's, like the USSR supporting the creation of Isreal, based on a misapplication of the national question. The world isn't a simple "good guy/bad guy" Marvel movie-ass binary.

If you want a really fucked up example, look at the Biafra War

Given that this is just general background on the Suez crisis, that kind of "general knowledge" typically don't require citations, but making the claim "The suez crisis formed the basis for a growing US-Isreal Alliance" is a claim that needs backed up. Hence why that's the sentence that gets a footnote.

So, if I'm writing a book about the world system of the late 18th century, and I say "In 1776, The American colonists declared independence" give some background information, and then proceed to make a claim about the impact that independence had on, global trade. Then I need to back up the claim about global trade.

The background on The american war of independence is just that, background, and doesn't require citations. Because there's a presumed general knowledge that if you're reading this book, you won't need that explained to you.

Out of curiosity, what's the footnote in question? What does it say?

Can someone explain the joke to someone who has always been shit at math?

I suppose that's fair about Leon. But it's still Claire who she develops a relationship with, over the course of the game. I just wanna see more of that ¯_ (ツ) _/¯

I don't think Sherry is even brought up after 2 in any game besides 6. Technically Leon and Claire are at game appearance parity- Leon has 4 and 6, Claire has Code Veronica and Revelations 2

They really did my girls dirty. Claire just gets side games, and Sherry only shows back up in RE6, and is referenced in some extraneous content. I think Claire is also in a few of the shitty RE movies?

But Sherry in RE6 is... Honestly really boring. She becomes a cop, and is just kinda the sidekick to an equally boring edglord.
