A postgraduate in philosophy, politics, and jurisprudence, now employed at a small book publishing firm. I have interests in ancient history, cross-cultural dialogue, religion, mysticism, and psychoanalysis.
I don’t think burying this and pretending it didn’t happen is helpful when Jews around the world are telling us right now that they are terrified and under attack
Why does Russia think anyone cares what it says at this point? Until the war ends, nobody is required to do anything for Russia.
Nothing but respect for my country deciding to impose economic sanctions on itself 🫡
Classic Mastodon moment
I just basically finished Tears of the Kingdom. 150 hours, all shrines, almost all the armour, and pretty much all the side-quests done, plus the main quest. Probably my favourite game ever. Once my internet starts working again, I’m probably going to be playing Okami HD
They want to burn a Qur’an right outside Stockholm’s main Mosque. How is that not incitement to violence or racial hatred?
If I burned a copy of the Torah outside a Synagogue, would that just be an expression of ‘free speech’? Or would I not be giving a pretty unambiguous signal of both what I think of the people inside and the way that we should treat them?
This absolutely should not have been allowed to go ahead. It is incitement to violence and racial hatred.

I don’t think he’s completely wrong. A lot of people felt similarly. I know SkillUp felt similarly that if you had a really good PC and could overlook the (unforgiveable, admittedly) bugs, it had a lot going for it.
Yeah I’m waiting on a Switch version too. Looks super cool
Ban, defederate, whatever, I don’t mind the method – I do not want this server to have these “people” on our server and able to interact with/see us.
Hahahaha, I can understand the cynicism.
I’ve put in 125 hours to Tears of the Kingdom though so maybe that’s restored some of my faith in what video games can be!
I maybe got like 10-15 hours into it? I quite liked it but it felt underbaked in many areas. I’m curious to see just how expansive the improvements to basic core gameplay systems are in the final product here. Because graphically and narratively, I felt they had something pretty special.
Nobody is being forced to die for any cause. Ukrainians are fighting Russia because Russia intends to wipe their country off the map. I don’t really see why you think you have the right to tell Ukrainians that they don’t have the right to fight for the existence of their country.
Scummy company. I don’t really understand why the United States doesn’t have a federal level basic right to unionization. Why should the company have any say in this whatsoever?
The PLO and Fatah both recognise the state of Israel and its right to exist, have given up armed struggle, and signed the Oslo Accords with Israel, accepting a peaceful political pathway to a two state solution.
