All the talk about TIFF cancelling the documentary about Russian soldiers is breaking my brain. It’s not enough that the documentary is already pro Ukraine by showing the Russian soldiers become disillusioned with the war, anything that shows Russians as human beings cannot be allowed in Western media. Knowing they would gladly show a documentary humanizing Nazis but Russians are a bridge too far
This is my aoty it’s so good
One of the most important cultural artifacts to come out of Toronto
Ah yes, creating a list of minority populations is always a good sign and not representative of a nation committing systematic genocide of said group
Nope not that one! The fact that it could be more than one album is fucked
Yea it is
Typical for West Germany with its state sponsored pedophile program and based on what that creep Steve Albini did CSA was essentially legal there
Honourable mention to Grasshopper Manufacture for being weird and fun
FromSoftware because if Dark Souls 2 is your worst game (by popular opinion) in the last 15 years you’re doing a good job. Sekiro is also my favourite combat system in any game.
Remedy, I love their use of mixed mediums with FMV scenes like Dr. Darling’s tapes in Control. Alan Wake 2 is also a masterpiece of a game and I love how far they push what they are able to do in each game.
Paradox because no one does map game and number go up like they do. Victoria 2 is the first game I played from them and I’ve played everything since (the only map game I don’t like is HOI4)
If the international boxing community can’t form a new international governing body by early 2025 it will not be in the 2028 olympics. I’m assuming it will be the same for every olympics after that until they form something
Everyone watch The Wind That Shakes the Barley
I remember being a kid in Catholic school and learning about how saints have to have 3 miracles attributed to them to be canonized. At that age I was like okay I can buy this guy Jesus was doing miracles 2000 years ago but theres no way saints are doing all these miracles constantly in the modern day that’s just silly
Fresa Y Chocolate (Strawberry and Chocolate) a Cuban film about two gay men and how their identity intersects with Cuban politics. We watched it last year on the hextube
I think RE2 and RE4 remakes hit the sweet spot of being accurate enough to the original while also being new enough that it’s not just a cashgrab. They’re different enough that other than being named remakes they’re essentially different games, especially RE2 which is radically different than RE2 remake.
I am receiving reports that the Trans Mega has ties to Shadow Inc. And is obfuscating the primary results
Bad bit, invasive species are incredibly damaging to local ecosystems oftentimes causing mass die offs, if not extinctions, of local flora and fauna. See round gobies, Asian carp, and zebra mussels in the great lakes. More often than not invasive species are introduced accidentally into ecosystems by humans, they are not naturally migrating there.
We do see migrations of animals further north as the climate warms like armadillos and deer ticks in the Americas but these are not treated as invasive species. Similarly, species not native to an ecosystem but have become naturalized and are therefore not as damaging are not treated as invasive, like European starlings, dandelions, and pigeons in North America.
Now from a Vegan POV I don’t know what the best solution to invasive species would be. I have heard some vegans make the argument that invasive species control is better as it results in less animal death overall but it is difficult.
That’s why the best solution is to sell alcohol to minors and hold it for them until they’re old enough to own it
I believe it does! Similarly everytime Daniil Medvedev plays Wimbledon he’s introduced as Mr Medvedev (bear)
Either Dmitry Medvedev or Daniil Medvedev (tennis player) have to change their name because this isn’t the first time I’ve thought a tennis player was calling for war
Wingspan! Fun engine builder that is simple enough to introduce new people to it at a game night but can get more complex and deep with expansions. Also if you’re a bird nerd it’s a great way to memorize names (and calls/songs if you play the pc version)
I have a redmi note 11 and I find they work really well for being in that price range. Only downside is you need to get it drop shipped because they aren’t sold in North America, and the band comparability isn’t the same so the signal can be a little weak.
