  • the north star wars

  • Yeah I think what AI is exacerbating is the tension between creativity and commodity. Businesses don't celebrate art, they seek profits. Images, articles, music, and whatever else are all simply products to sell under capitalism. Turning every artist into a copyright lawyer won't change the fact that their creations are ultimately still commodities.

    I see a lot of arguing over the definition of "art" but that's beside the point. The problem is the entire bourgeois concept of property and the way capitalism impoverishes the working class so that they must spend their lives selling their labor.

  • Yeah, by "natural" I didn't mean innate or absolute. All languages are made up and for some reason these languages made up the rule that you have to put The before certain words. People can get pretty worked up about language quirks like that. Iirc there was a thread on hexbear about exactly this some time ago (translating das Kapital into Capital in English)

  • Isn't that just how the language works though? Like, it sounds unnatural to say certain nouns without adding "the" to the front. Spanish does that too, it's why Das Kapital is called El Capital in Spanish but just Capital in English.

  • Looks like a great person to command an army and teach at a monastery. Perhaps even brawl against Mario

  • The fact that damn near 100% of Latin Americans speak Spanish and are Catholic speaks to how thorough Spanish colonialism is. Hell, the fact that "Latin American" as a racial category even exists is a testament to their indigenous erasure. There's so much Zionist apologia from Western powers about how Jews need a homeland to protect their religion and culture. Well, where's the fervor for a Maya state? And a Muisca state? And a state for the dozens of other peoples that also suffered genocide at their hands?

    The damage caused by the Spanish empire is so extensive that reparations are never remotely entertained, or even fucking mentioned, because it would ruin smol bean Spain. And we can't have that! Not Spain!!!

  • Has anyone else here played Yokai Watch? It always gets left out of the monster-collector discourse even though they're the best games on the 3DS. I wish it was more popular in the west so that the fourth game would get localized already.

  • Oh I thought they were all the same length. I've only played the first like a dragon so far, off of ps+. If it's any consolation, these games will probably get their price reduced to like twenty bucks once they're old news

  • Another Yakuza game already? @_@

    Do people actually finish these things before moving on to the next one? I'm playing like a dragon right now and it is the longest fucking game I've ever played (positive). There's like ten full seasons of telenovela in here

  • In authoritarian China, laws are upheld by roaming executioners with a license to kill not only suspects, but bystanders as well

  • Excuse me I thought this site was called hexBEAR

  • The first advance wars brought us 9/11 and the switch remake caused the war in Ukraine. I hope we survive WW3 because I want dual strike 2

  • Ah so the way to write it is to not write it. I understand the preference for cursive now - that looks way easier than printing

  • I'm not Slavic so Д looks like a really awkward letter to write. What's even the stroke order for this thing

  • Wikipedia says that this museum named it and it seems legit but I'm not Hawaiian so idk

  • Lahaina noon, yeah. Lasts like half an hour and only happens twice a year

  • I thought parallel play was an autistic thing where people bond with others by being nearby, but focused on separate tasks. Like one person playing DS on the couch and another person reading a book next to them. It's not about cooperation, exactly, but about the way people socialize differently.

  • Feels like this was originally mapping racial categories and then the slurs got replaced with schools
