Thank you my dude 🙏

Totally, the other thing both of your examples did well is actually integrate the “Woke™” elements into their world in a natural and believable way. None of it unearthed established canon or went out of its way to score rainbow capitalist diversity points

I feel like a lot of “woke” shows are not great, but they get a cult of defenders and haters boosting it’s popularity because of some perceived culture war. When it’s really just execs trying to make their milk toast milquetoast slop shamelessly appeal to a wider audience.

No one complains about Spiderverse (after it came out) because it was good

It takes a lot of energy to send them back in time

I love how this implies the protagonist just wants to die

Unfortunately, we all know for the US it would go fine. The UK is the same, we whine for a bit, then nothing happens

Funny and got a chuckle, but I really can’t wait for the bear meme to die. It’s tiring and has overstayed its welcome.

I miss less toxic comment sections

CUDA accelerated JSON parser is sorely needed

The most charitable interpretation is that the original bear vs man was to spark conversation. Making it ragebait/controversial increases spread exposing it to more people and potentially educating more of the population.

The downside to ragebaiting, is that now the people who need to learn most are raging, have their defenses up and miss the point entirely. They then get argumentative, and now the pro-bear side has their defenses up too. And then we have a vicious rage cycle… and now here we are

I guess in the modern version you’d have the child, then an adult with all bars empty. Then that’s just it because they died before reaching retirement age from stress and poverty related illness

Ah yes, I remember how the birds of paradise evolved such complicated dance routines and brilliant colours for the sole purpose of self expression. Or the brilliant peacock that evolved a huge unwieldy display just to feel good about themselves

I would get a Galaxy Tab if the E-Ink isn’t vital for you. But otherwise it’s a very capable E-Int tablet, and it running Android means you can do anything on it you can an Android tablet.

The real killer is the latency though, for most things it’s pretty bad, except in Boox’s own apps where it’s so damn quick it feels like writing on paper.

I wouldn’t recommend it unless you know it’s exactly what you’re looking for, but if it is what you want then it’s easily best in class

I have a Boox Ultra C. It has the same screen, I can confidently say the colours are utter shite for any kind of colour sensitive work or media. However, they’re more than good enough for conveying information, like different coloured lines on a chart.

The colours also look sharp as fuck, as the grey scale is still used for brightness, and the colour just tints it. Meaning it looks a lot sharper than 150ppi and almost indistinguishable from 300ppi

Please explain this to me? I genuinely don’t understand how prejudice or discrimination based on race isn’t racism?

Profiling based on race? Some sort of racial profiling?

There’s an argument to be had that there’s an acceptable level of racism? But to say it’s just not racism is objectively wrong

It is literally pre-judging someone based on race. Just because that judgement is statistically likely to be correct doesn’t make it okay

“China and India are prejudiced based on race, why do we keep calling prejudice based on race here racist?! Checkmate feminazis!” 🤣

The UK has some of the worst housing issues in Europe, yet the amount of houses (dwellings) per person has slightly increased since 2001

21,210,000÷59,113,0000=0.35 Houses per person in 2001

24,930,000÷67,350,695=0.37 Houses per person in 2021

Yet rents and house prices have absolutely skyrocketed. Supply exceeds demand, it’s just greed, long term empty investment properties and government inaction.
