Totally agree. I was let down by the area being mostly empty and pointless

I actually liked most of them except the final boss, the dancing lion, and the moon knight lady. Other than that they were pretty okay.

May chaos take the world!

The DLC actually has an amazing boss fight related to frenzy

It’s a prospect that should make any American on the left happy to vote for her.

Time is unfortunately the best medicine. Just take it one day at a time. Don’t stay in contact with them. Reach out to your friends and try to fill your time spending time with them.

Main thing is to keep yourself distracted. The ruminating will come, but right now you need to heal. I wasn’t able to clearly reflect on my ex and our relationship for easily over a year or so later.

Yeah it was only a matter of time before you explicitly lumped Indians into the persona non grata list. I always knew you guys would eventually just say “fuck all brown people”. This is exactly why Indians born in the West to Indian immigrants have strong solidarity with other brown people regardless of their religion. We don’t trust you conservatives and never will.

You came invaded our ancestral country, subjugated us, stole our natural resources, and divided us. You still have items you stole from us in your museums. And you have the audacity to say that Indians and Muslims are invading Europe after Europe invaded us and stole from us.

Naw. This is why we’re on the left. Fuck you all. If you say we’re invading you, then fuck it. We are invading you, and we’ve raised “anchor babies” as sleeper cell spies – and we’re going to save the West from you pathetic conservative colonizers.

It makes me wonder honestly if cops were always this corrupt, or if they’ve become more corrupt over time. I’d believe either being the case honestly, but maybe the former is a perception borne from all the pro police media there were in the 90s, 00s, and 10s. Hell, even today.

I can hardly say I’m an expert myself. No one can be well versed in the modern history of every country, don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s just good to look up when there are events going on in that country.

My mom brings it up from time to time. It’s important to recognize I think that the zealots in power today belong to the same ideology, and they were pissed at Gandhi because he wanted a united, secular India.

I’m American as well, born in the US. So unfortunately I don’t know a lot more than you about the national mood or how popular the Hindu nationalists and BJP (their party) actually are.

With that said, yes, I would say that’s accurate. They’re a mix of the Republicans/American far right and Israel’s conservatives and Netanyahu. The BJP leadership has called Muslims an infestation and blamed them for all of India’s issues. They’ve demanded ancestral papers for Muslims to prove their citizenship, and there has been wanton police violence against Muslims that reminds me of settlers in Israel and Palestinians.

If we were to establish a scale of fascism and the far right, where Hitler and the Nazis are the absolute highest on the scale, I would put Republicans at the bottom; the BJP and Hindu nationalists are higher than them, and Israel is even higher than them. I think they’d all be the same if they weren’t held back by the law or oppositional parties.

I hope that helps. My worry is that the right wing extremists are more popular in India than they are in the US.

You don’t have to be like the media. You can be better. Every Indian isn’t a Hindu nationalist, and many of us detest the nationalists. Gandhi was even killed by a Hindu nationalist, but you won’t hear Modi talking about that.

Indians who were born outside of India to Indian parents are very critical of the Hindu nationalists. We’ve grown up alongside Muslims and been friends with them. We feel solidarity with them as fellow brown people. And we’re utterly appalled with what’s going on in India.

Don’t lump us together. We’re among the harshest critics of Modi’s fascist regime, and what India has become. We were raised with traditional Indian values by our parents and the broader Indian community in our homes. India over the last few decades has become unrecognizable to our parents and fallen considerably to moral decay.

Hindu nationalists, not Indians. Don’t lump us all together with those fuckers. Indians born to immigrants in Western countries in particular have very little issue with Islam and detest what India is becoming.

Can we talk about how it isn’t even surprising anymore that he has an annual memorial day rant?

Carroll should just keep going and going. Maybe it’ll finally teach Trump to shut up.

Flip it around on them, and say that if the Ten Commandments are so important, why they support Trump, who regularly breaks them.

SpaceX’s entire development philosophy is “test early, test often and learn from failures”. This is a much quicker pace than simulating every imaginable failure scenario and leads to faster progress in development.

This is a catchy statement, not an actionable philosophy. There’s many ways to do it, and it’s entirely possible that SpaceX is doing it poorly.

There’s a lot of value in brainstorming every imaginable failure scenario. It’s industry standard to do so in fact with HAZOPs. There’s failures that you may not necessarily see in testing – especially those that are rare but catastrophic. This is a field that should be acutely aware of that given past events.

There’s also a right way to do testing and a wrong way to do testing. You typically consolidate tests and do several at a time, depending on the stage in the project. And you don’t typically risk precious equipment in doing so.

From the sounds of it, they don’t have a robust safety program, and they’re hemorrhaging money and resources through poor testing philosophies.

Sure, but there is some comfort in knowing that things have been worse, and our perception is colored by having greater information. Doesn’t mean things aren’t shitty. But it’s a bit easier to swallow.

I don’t recognize suicide as something that falls under bodily autonomy. It’s almost always caused by mental health issues and shitty living situations.

If someone in chronic pain wants to opt for euthanasia, that’s different, and I support it. Their condition can’t be improved, and they’re making the decision with a sound mind.

I was watching live on TV as it happened. They were trying to put him out several times. He poured an accelerant on himself which likely made it a lot more difficult to put him out.

It seems like it was just a one off. There doesn’t seem to be anything clearly wrong neurologically, and my blood sugar was incredibly low at the time. I’m also apparently predisposed to getting seizures at low blood sugar from a condition I have, I was on a medicine at the time which lowered my seizure threshold, and I think another medicine was artificially lowering my blood sugar too. So it was just the perfect storm.

I hope things turn around for your sister :/. That’s absolutely awful. I’m incredibly fortunate, but for a while it was possible that could’ve been me. I hope there’s a miracle cure out there to help.

Thank you!
