You know Nazis also despise the left and would do anything to put you in camps if they could. They are not allies. You are falling in the exact trap described by this article, trying to attract leftists on the few subjects they appear to have in common to make the Nazis appear normal or even allies.
Are you saying Nazis are your allies?
Wow didn't know about this metric :(
With this technology lens, would Dune still be considered sci-fi? They have different technology sure but in many ways worse than what we have now (except for space travel), they don't have computers and rely on hand to hand combat, their spies cannot hide mics so they hide in walls for days!
It's another hyper militarized universe like what the Cold War has brought but with religion and drugs :^)
I wanted to say that it's hard to define exactly what is or isn't sci-fi. Really I'm just a sci-fi enjoyer and am not qualified to say what is or isn't sci-fi :D
Kryptonite for me is clearly a magic rock but in the movie it is in the realm of their science. Also there was a movie where the existence of superman led to a lot of questioning on its implications in defense politics so it could fit some part of your definition I guess?
So like superman is science-based and X-Men is also you're right and it does clearly ask what it means to be human when there are augmented humans now. So clearly more sci-fi than superman.
But films can be both sci-fi and fantasy. It feels like a sliding rule depending on the amount the universe is based on hardcore science. On the DNA subject, Gattaca is not fantasy but X-Men is.
To me it feels similar to the debate about "hard magic" universes like Eragon (where every spell has a physical toll on the user, or other book series where the magic is really detailed in-universe and only mastered by experts who have to study their whole life for even a basic spell) and "soft magic" like Harry Potter where everyone can cast crucifixion spells at the speed of an automatic rifle (I'm slightly exaggerating).
Both. Maybe leaning a little bit more on sci-fi since they try to explain many things with science like kryptonite. But definitely also fantasy for X-Men, mutants have superpowers because the DNA does ... things.
I dont think anyone will come to share this knowledge with us since it could be used by newspapers website to block the archiving.
France is making a large part of its own defense system (fighter jet, navy ships, etc.) and for it to be financially viable, sells some models to other countries. One very good client is Saudi Arabia. You will never hear criticism from this government against Saudis.
I think there is an argument to be made that if you want to develop a game, for example, for the PS5 you can rely hone your game to the PS5 hardware and it could be extremely stable. This is not possible for PCs because PCs do not have fixed hardware.
However I think this was true in the olden days of the SNES where games where not glitchy compared to DOS gaming where hardware compatibility was all over the place. You can see this on YouTube channels like LGR where finding a compatible sound card is a challenge.
But like you, I don't find that this is still true for modern PC gaming.
I love this vibe. I'm getting back on MATE and the feeling is great. No fluff, just simple features!
One crazy idea: tax kerosene and use this to fund this ticket which will now also have TGV 😅
From the article:
The pass will also cover local bus, metro, and tram travel, “if possible,” Beaune said. The full details have not yet been finalised.
Of course, I'm not particularly confident that they will actually cover this but at least they are thinking about it.
To be frank, I'm amazed by this announcement. I take TER every weekend and a two-way trip is 108€, 54€ (-50%) if you get the yearly pass which costs 30€. This would save me so much money.
Yes it doesn't encompass TGV but with this 49€ ticket you can potentially get rid of many car commuters which is already a good thing :)
Abortion is decriminalised, so it's still not legal but it falls under civil law which is not as harsh as criminal law.
Edit: I misread the article, you can legally get an abortion at federal health facilities. I don't know about state health facilities.
Yes, but afaik corrosion is still a big issue in these designs so they are not ready for commercial use.
