The best example I can think of where the race choices really got stupid to the point of offensive was the first “The Last Airbender” movie where the director race swapped the entire fire nation to Indian, made the water nation white when they probably should have been Innuit or something similar, then chose to mispronounce the main characters name to make it sound more ethnic when the source material was in English, so they knew exactly how it should be pronounced.

Then for whatever reason, people got mad that the main character was white when it was the only character animated in such a way they could be white, and the tribe was a nomadic collection of people making it somewhat possible albeit not relevant to the nation theming of the other nations.

Anyways, this triggered my annual Last Airbender rant, so sorry about that.

Frida didn’t hit her stride, generating her most popular, and defining works until shortly after this article. 1938 being a prolific year for her. Her husband was more well known at this point but she would eclipse him with certain audiences within the decade.

I rate it 1 star if it asks before I could possibly have even used it.

It would have to be a truly miraculous app that transforms my life for me to change a review.

If it asks after the 20th or so use, then it gets 5 stars because I obviously open it a bunch and regardless of my feelings, it’s obviously useful to me.

Bank and medical apps get an automatic 1 star because I don’t get a choice in using them and I want them always improving.

Hmmm I wasn’t thinking about it before, but I am now.

Advertising successful!

#2 on the sides, tapered up to finger length up top. Leave me some extra in the front

They are correct. I’d do it myself but there’s alot of spam in 1 can for a pizza or even 2. I’ll have to set some aside next time I make Spam Masubi. Of course that means a few less servings of masubi… life is full of hard choices…

Yes. I have a mix of those and the target / smart & final bags. The issue is appearing in all of them, and also in random foods that use that style of seal as well.

Yes, this is the greatest lie ever printed. It’s like they forgot it’s in the design file and never bothered to change it after they switched boxes.

Once unskippable warnings and ads appeared on DVDs I bought, I became a lost cause.

That and they just stay there active, decades after the conflict. There are still minefields from decades old conflicts that kill/injure people today.

It’s honestly no worse than dropping bombs on them. They don’t have to deal with the explosive shock blowing out their ear drums either. It’s way more escapable than sudden explosions happening all around you.

Besides… if you invade a country you’re down with death. A bunch of the soldiers use rape and attack civilians as well, so my concern for their well being dried up a long time ago.

That’s actually not the problem with chemical weapons. Chemical weapons are banned due to their indiscriminate nature (being blown by the wind) and really the fact that it causes slow deaths over years. It’s that it’s tantamount to torture (which is also banned).

Blowing people’s limbs off is considered A-OK as long as it’s not done with land mines.

Eh, that’s pretty metal. What I like about it is that it’s not some chemical weapon that floats on the air to hiteveryone in the vicinity. You will see where you are hitting clearly because it’s like a bright tracer round. And it’ll cause more injuries than deaths.

You almost have a sporting chance to get away once it’s started compared to the relatively sudden chaos of explosions.

I had a friend wrapping gifts in the free maps you could grab at the post office and library. Those always looked cool.

They eat hella fruit off my fruits trees. And when I say eat, I mean take 3 bites and drop it on the ground to grab a new one and take 3 bites.

They waste 50 apricots to eat 3 apricots.

Until I started taking all the ground fruit and boiling it in a pot to make fruit juice for brandy distilling, it was a complete waste. Now it’s still wasteful, because I’d rather eat the fruit, but at least I recover something from it.

Fuck squirrels.

I totally agreed when I was younger but over the years I’ve grown to appreciate when the game makes me play a “suboptimal” class/job. I learn to love some of the quirky characters because they make me try them.

When I’m given all the jobs I compulsively try to level them all because I’m broken that way.

Thank you! That was an informative article. It’s like we are giving them Raytheon gift cards every year. This makes sense, as it’s the military industrial complex doing what it do. More blood for the blood gods, etc.

What I think is interesting from the break down is how they are supposed only use it for defense, but then when we go “hey I don’t think you are using that for defense!” We don’t stop handing out the gift cards.

Also when we were struggling to get congressional approval to give them more gift cards, we let them raid our munitions cookie jar we had been storing with them in case we needed it for the past 40 years.

It sucks, but I can understand why the US is so reluctant to give up their only long term ally in the region, who’s supported us in our unreasonable conflicts against immense global backlash. We also use them to funnel more taxpayer money to military contractors which are spread all over the US, financially benefiting many states in the process.

As always it’s all about the money.

I don’t really understand what weapons our government is sending Isreal. Is it that we just aren’t canceling their contracts with our weapons manufacturers? Or we arent banning exports of weapons?

Our government doesn’t actually make weapons, we give contracts to companies to make them and have limits on who else can buy. Isreal doesn’t need our hand-me-downs.

Hey, just give it up. I already answered that question. The nutritional value is not the only factor I value.

That’s the thing. I don’t need to be, because I’m not suggesting a diet shift away from established practices offered BY vets. You, however, are attempting to escew established norms in favor of your own agenda. As they say, “Fantastic claims require fantastic evidence.”

My claims are not fantastical, yours are.
