From the game’s perspective, yes. Though short, it’s clear the game diminishes the main character’s independent thoughts while preaching conformity to the message. The best thing to do is go against the message and establish yourself independent of both sides, which you can do by balancing your choices between Amelia and the adult figures. In the end it doesn’t matter becaue the game gives the same ending of reaching out and joining a workshop, but blindly trusting either side is wrong.

We found a great way to brainwash teenagers
By using a character from a very left leaning game and showing how she correct she is.

Just from seeing the clip, it very clearly comes off as more sarcastic than a serious take. A tongue in cheek explanation for why people would go to the island for reasons other than pedophilia.
This is also coming from another clip where he said it was important to investigate everything in the files and not just release every name immediately since politicians and celebrities would have been there for other reasons. To paraphrase: He was the guy who knew everyone inviting you to his private island with a bunch of other rich people.

No, roulette is still betting against the house. A more apt comparison is poker, the house has nothing to do with the outcome or the game and has no stakes in the winner or loser when legal. This is why many will either take a percentage of the pot to recoop the cost of facilitating the game and dealer, about 2% I think, or have a membership fee. In many states poker only card houses or card clubs are completely legal.

Legally they are not betting against the house. People are betting against each other on if a certain event will happen, and the site takes a set percentage for facilitating the bets. This makes it legal under gambling laws in most US States.
- Comment on Is there an optimal home/apartment size that most people would be happy with? 4 weeks ago:
The LDK system, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen. The number in front is bedrooms. So a studio is typically LK. A small house might be 1LK or 1LDK. I’ve seen it while looking for a place in the states but I think it’s more common abroad.

The Chinese state is souring against Israel, likely the operators of the app were also against Israel considering how they allowed anti-zionist content on the platform.

The difference now is Chinese Billionaires were Anti <Israel> and the new American Billionaires are Anti <Palestine>

If you have pee drips often enough or bod enough to worry about toilet paper you should probably talk to a doctor.
- Comment on Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not) 1 month ago:
This is actually a very fun legal loophole for Japanese citizens. The Japanese law as written states you cannot gain citizenship to a country and remain a Japanese citizen, but because of US law, you aren’t voluntarily a citizen when you are born, you just are a citizen. So as long as you don’t renounce your Japanese citizenship you can remain a citizen of both.

- Comment on Scheduling is hard 1 month ago:
Highschools get out first in a lot of the country to allow older students to go to afterschool jobs, participate in afterschool sports, or to be home when the younger kids return home. If every student and worker was on the same schedule you would have scenarios where sports wouldn’t get out until very late and younger kids could be at home alone.

Which they will then solve with mass immigration they can control easier.

I think as a single person a LK studio setup is good. Married might bump it up to 1LK. Every kid after can add a bedroom and and the dining area, so one kid 2LDK, two kids 3LDK. Bathrooms is a different story depending on where you live.

Oh, yes I suppose that could be. The way I see it Newton would not have been admitted if he could not keep up.
- Comment on Scientific Exposure 2 months ago:
Also, Newton was not born with the connection, he made them in Grantham. He had a very strained relationship with his mother and step father and was raised by his grandmother.

To be fair to Buchanan, his fiance left him because of the Panic of 1819, died a few weeks later, and then he could not attend her funeral. Dude got triple punched by depression and stated it was the reason he never married after.
