Panopticon's Kentucky is the best recent country\bluegrass with a side of black metal. This album is about this one time coal miners sang hymns, cooperated and took weapons to defend themselves against both blood-sucking corporates and the national guard. If there'd be the word 'based' in Merriam-Webster, it would refer to these fights and that album.

They don't want to eliminate anything. That's just an easy win in the hearts of fanatics and one more layer of oppression. Like if there are lack of them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Iraq What's more there to add?

Although, eradicating homosexuality as a possible thing from a public speech has weight. Mixing them with whatever-you-can-think-of too.

If someone less brainwashed could've had some compassion for a 'misguided', 'ill-informed' person, now they'd not even know if they were charged for being gay (or a sin of sodomy, yup) when this state hangs them. In the media, they would be not unlike a serial child rapist. And gay people just don't exist anymore, yeah, just deviants.

Also, their 'honor' thingie. Their families and ~~quiet supporters~~ 'enablers' would be even more publicly embarassed and looked down than before, if not treated as complicit in their 'crime'. It may increase the lasting damage on their lives.

Imagine being a parent of a hanged 'sexual deviant' in Iraq. You aren't even a failure, you created a monster. And you are, probs, a monster yourself. Lets add some mob justice to spice things up!

I have a pretty shakey understanding of their national mentality, but I think it is bigger and more dangerous than a kek on them, silly undoers of the Big Gay in one stroke of a pen.

That's a good case, right, including their formulated nature and distinct language.

I've seen it like Michael pushing diversity training sessions onto the office (US) in the first season. Complete misunderstanding and absurd enthusiasm. I bet he would spend a night educating himself about gender and sexuality on the first resources found in google.

Listen, Dwight. Why would you put a sign saying MALE over your desk?

I insist on keeping it. We, Schruttes, are born Schruttes first, and everything else is out of our concern.

But why? Even Jim picked his new gender. Thrice this lunch, actually. Why don't you play into it to make our space more friendly for gendered people? Just for a day.

But...

You've heard me. Go take a break, and return with a new gender of your choice!

Next scene: a table sign saying GENDER-CONFORMING AMAB DWIGHT KURT SCHRUTE

It a little bit better as a satiric sketch than it is as a boomer humor. Especially, if Michael gets ridiculed for this senselessness in the end, like it happens every time.

It's less shilly but it's still too obscure. Seeing the total distribution of scores is kinda better sometimes for it showes a bigger picture that was filtered over time, like too many single stars, or a healthy mountain from 2 towards 5 meaning the thing is generally okay.

Binary scores on Rotten Tomatoes also better as it's just yeah\nah between two groups of reviewers not too complicated neither for them, nor for me. But most of the times they are made to intentionally misinform you as the score is seen as a part of the storefront and a marketing tool.

With the recently posted awkward 'concept' of a second Steam Deck and an influx of cool Deck-modding posts, what do you think it needs to look like in the next generation? What peripherals or whatever it needs to have?

And would it be better if Valve also licensed other companies to make more Proton-based handhelds using their R&D findings?

Yes, it was. There were remasters of old MW 1 and 2 recently. So I don't know if it's another remaster or a new game. They've got a very confusing naming lately

The design of this preview is more Wolfenstein or Unreal 3 than MW digital greenish style.

Entertaining, right. But what's with zooming in onto this mistake?
