But hating Germans and hating Nazis isnt the same. The degree of separation is quite important.

My question is, why are all the other empires not judged to the same standards? Colonialism sucked, but Britain didn’t invent it. Yet they seem to be the only target.

What a pathetic comment. Judge the person not the nationality.

Every country ever has “looted artifacts”, that was literally the point of war for like 4000 years. The vast majority of the British museum’s items were legally purchased. Just like every other gallery in the world.
Would you take Mona Lisa from the Louvre? Obviously italian.

As someone born in Britain, it saddens me to see so much hatred throw around casually.

Haven’t watch the video yet, but I remember how impressed my step dad was with the blue LED when we got our PlayStation 2. I was like, yeah great whatever let’s play games, at the time.

- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 10 months ago:
I for sure will never ‘finish’ this game in the way you can finish things like binding of Isaac. I just love to play it for fun and no objectives in mind when I play.

I don’t really disagree with anything in this, but I still did 30 hours and had a load of fun in 4 days between Christmas and new year. I was constantly expecting some twist with all the fish murder I was doing though.

They’re called public schools because anyone could attend them as long as they paid the cost. They were the alternative to private schools which were for nobles or religious training etc that you couldn’t buy in to. Comprehensive schools, free schools for anyone, came a lot later.

Plan the activity with a smaller group than you would want initially. Then invite others to an already organized event and rely on fomo to get people to go. Works great.
- Comment on If forced to choose one retro console forever what would you choose and why? 11 months ago:
I’d say the gamecube for smash melee mostly, but the first Wii was backwards compatible so there’s literally no downsides to that over GameCube.

I focus for 15 minutes as I don’t have time for 4 hours, but then they end and I realize I’ve lost another day.
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
Honestly, I think the bank job at the beginning of the game as part of the story being removed could fix a lot. Nothing makes sense when the plot revolves around making more money and you have so much you never have to worry about it. I thought I accidentally found an exploit or something.
But there’s so many strange ideas. Like you reach st. Denis and are able to buy fancy clothes, but your character looks like shit at this point which ruins the whole thing. Who thought that was a good idea?

The whole game is a confusing mess.
Fundamentally, the game acts like it’s a huge open world game where you live a cowboy, but in reality the whole thing funnels you into a boring and annoying story.
Hours of tutorials on all the things you can do in the game, but while you’re playing you can’t be bothered to sit through the same skinning, cooking, hunting, tracking crap over and over when baked beans do the job better.
This pretty much sums the whole game up, you have so much money from the first storyline bank job, you never need to do a single side quest and all the features are repetitive busy work so they’re not worth doing on their own merit.
The morality system is pointless when the characters are is completely set by the story other than the last 1 decision which makes any difference at all.
Nothing in the game is difficult, so just using the same tactics of revolver or rifle solves literally everything. Or the pre mentioned baked beans if you actually need a heal at any point.
The whole thing feels like too many ideas that don’t work together.

If you have literally no experience at all, I’d pick and choose some great standalone episodes to get started with.
Some ideas: TOS: Balance of terror/Space seed TNG: Drumhead/Darmok DS9: The House of Quark/Trials and tribulations (harder to find good standalone episodes as so many of the best are part of the main plot. VOY: Eye of the Needle/The Void
The 2 parter DS9 and voyager opening episodes are both also pretty good places to start.

Is the sudden personality change as drastic as it reads?
Sudden switches like that could be a sign of a serious medical condition, mid 20s is I believe a common age for these things to kick in too.
I’d talk to the brother about it coming from an angle of concern.

Urgh, it’s going that way in London too.

Apparently, Tolkien’s dwarven language just naturally works well with a Scottish accent. Earlier radio, tv, readings leant into this and other writings including fantasy dwarves followed suit.

Yeah, scanned about 75% of the article for anything interesting before I came to the same conclusion.
- Comment on Maybe AI won't be taking all of our jobs after all? 1 year ago:
Well, I think it comes down to a fundamental belief on consciousness. If you’re non religious, you probably think that consciousness is a purely biological and understandable process. This is complete understandable and should be replicable. Therefore, artificial intelligence. But it’s hard as dong to do well.

You should look into Stormgate.
It’s an upcoming rts from frost giant studios which consists of some of the original blizzard team responsible for StarCraft.
