I don’t think they did, at least not the extent of it. It was a massive embarrassment to Netanyahu. 86% of jewish Israelis blame him for the attacks and more than half are asking him to resign.

First off, the abaya is not a burka. It’s a fairly standard clothing item. The idea that an abaya in itself is harmful is absurd.

The harm comes from limiting the freedom of self expression. And that’s what France is doing now. Most Muslim girls in the west are fairly progressive, they don’t feel that they’re being forced to wear what they wear. So what happens then when the government actually infringes on their self expression? It’s not gonna make them look kindly on the institutions that will teach them western values, they will gravitate more to the institutions that will teach them Muslim values.

If you want rid people of their conservative ideals, you do that through education. If you try to force people to conform, you’ll get blowback and people only get more radical.

My computer is providing a pretty neat little metaphor for how I expect those talks will go at a lot of outlets. Will there be room for two massive RPGs? Will some opt to make room for Starfield while others go for Baldur’s Gate 3? Will Tears of the Kingdom take up the space they otherwise would have occupied? Or will another game that hasn’t been released yet plant its flag in the proverbial hard drive?

Way to deliberately miss the point.

Absolutely. And that behaviour should be condemned. But punishing people for their choices of clothing is not the way to go. Target the harmful ideas, not people’s personal expression.

It has little to do with that. Embracer Group is more than 2 billion in debt so they have to do anything to show to their investors they are resolving it. Publically doing massive layoffs and destroying beloved studios is very popular with investors.

Sleep tracking devices I’d imagine. You can only use your phone or the $60 Pokémon Go Plus Plus (real name) to track your sleep. Many sleep tracking apps can track using your wearables as well.

It’s the same showrunners as Westworld and Amazon has the money so I’m still optimistic

That’s an insult to Charles’ talent. The man is a professional voice actor and his sense can’t be replaced by AI. Replicated maybe, but not replaced.

If you were fine paying $50 15 years ago then I don’t see why you would complain about paying $70 now. That’s just inflation.

Your definition of socialism is false. Socialism is when the means of production are owned by the workers. This is incompatible with capitalism, where the means of production are held by those who own capital. In simpler terms, under socialism workers have agency over how their workplace whereas under capitalism that is decided by a CEO/board of directors.

What you’re describing is a social democracy, which is a more socialised version of capitalism.

Don’t act obtuse.

This is exactly the level of media analysis I’d expect from an AI art enjoyer

Anti LGBT, white supremacist, antisemitic. She also openly praised Mussolini when she was young and her party used fascist imagery. But when she had a vote of no confidence against her she said she’s not a fascist so it’s all good!

“I actually believe Cyberpunk on launch was way better than it was received, and even the first reviews were positive,” he concludes. "Then it became a cool thing not to like it.

How are you planning to fix your image when you’re still saying shit like this?
