Yog, where is P̶a̶d̶m̶e̶ Tibet?
Is it safe? Is it alright?
This is a good point. Casting a genuine Tibetan actor would cause the house of mouse to lose all that sweet china money.
Eh, plenty of people voiced issues with the racial (and gender) recast of the Ancient One when Doctor Strange came out.
Tilda Swinton is great btw.
Someone already mentioned them but I want to reiterate: Westwood Studios
I miss them.
Squid, you have no evidence he's a hoaxster.
Hold the egg up to a candle or light bulb, you should be able to see through most common eggs.
Falloung out a window, Russian pastime
Obviously EuroTrainSimulator 2023, it's the new minecraft
I'll agree that 40 may be a bit too far given some of the real dinosaurs in government. That being said, dating myself here but I have very fond memories of personal computing in the early 90s, even playing games online!
While the other person saying 80 years is a bit much, it has been a constant for at least 40 years now.
Personal computing and software isn't new.
Edit: To clarify, 1984 (40 years ago) saw Superbowl ads for the Apple Macintosh and the advent of the CD-ROM.
Me too :(
Is there an active one on the fediverse? Id contribute but I can barely write my name.
What are you talking about? He fought against special treatment BEFORE getting reprisals. He was punished after treating people equally, not before.
The settlement was about the reprisals he faced for sticking to his guns and NOT becoming corrupt. You should be mad at the pig in charge who pushed for the demotion, not the guy doing the right thing.
I'm not aware of any headlines stating that. How do you know this is the only corruption they fought?
Seems like he was doing his job professionally and ignoring requests by superiors to give special treatment, all the way to reprisals and getting demoted because he wouldn't stoop to their corruption... Isn't that what we want with cops?
ACAB, except the ones actually fighting and fixing this stuff. We need good ones and should encourage them.
The ones fighting against corruption on the inside, like this person just did. Come on Squid.
I'm not y'all, I'm me. And no that was literally whataboutism.
"[What about the fact that] US has invaded more countries than I care to find a list of."
Yeah what about it?
I don't support those invasions and them happening doesn't justify the Russo-Ukrainian invasion. You chose to deflect and then bet about where the money was going, for some reason.
Nice whataboutism, but I have the perfect counter: I don't support the US and it's history of invading other countries.
Similarly, I don't support Russia invading Ukraine. I don't gamble so you can continue your "bets", but I'd love to hear how supporting someone who is defending themselves is wrong.
If someone breaks into your home and you fight for your life, I support you in that endeavor.
Real knowledge: Ukraine was invaded by Russia.
Contest that fact.
