We'd all be better off if in addition to Darwin we were also taught Kropotkin. Darwin talked a lot about evolutionary pressures selecting for certain traits. Kropokin talked about how animals acting cooperatively allowed for survival.

I feel like the Academy realized only after the fact that they had to recognize the trilogy and were just like olay best picture BUT WE CAN'T POSSIBLY GIVE BEST ACTOR/SUPPORTING TO SOMEONE NOT PLAYING A HUMAN like that was a step too far πŸ™„

Hot take, liking the LOTR trilogy films, and liking FOTR the best isn't basic, it's just factual. FOTR deserved all the Oscars ROTK got + best supporting actor for Ian Mckellen. It's a masterfully done film.

I am not biased at all.

I know the name of the show is off-putting (like borderline offensive) but Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is the most amazing fucking show, literally the best representation of mental illness in media I've ever seen, and its going to be taken off netflix soon. Go watch it now!!!

That's true, I don't think it's contemptuous either, but I think it's fair to compare it, whether it's mismanagement or miscommunication or internal structural issues, whatever it is it's not going well

This was only 2 months ago and I have gained so much weight since then. I have to be 170-something now which is about 10 lbs away from my 2018 weight. All because I can actually eat food now

World of Warcraft Could Benefit from Linear Expansion Progression World of Warcraft could benefit from having more linear expansion progression, allowing players to see it's best story content.

i meander and ramble a lot in this feature. but i think world of warcraft could benefit from FFXIV's more linear style of expansion progression. have lots of friends who wanna experience the story but have no idea where to start which makes the game a hard sell www.siliconera.com/world-of-war...

I think you *can* compare how WoW treats beloved characters vs how FFXIV does the same. FFXIV knows how to keep characters true to what ppl love about them even if they change, whereas Blizzard is like, what if we retconned everything that made this character good and then run them into the ground

I feel like I mostly play wow for cosmetics and the races and the gameplay now, because the story since Shadowlands has been either garbage or very neglected. (BfA I think had a good story apart from the War campaign, like I got by on the amazing Zandalar lore)

I think it is difficult to compare them, because they are so very different in so many ways, but I can't help but feel that there is absolutely no way for new players to learn the lore and care about it, so now Blizzard is like well what if we just torched the lore and focused on nothing but endgame

That feature is nice in that you don't have to play through an area you weren't psyched about and can choose where to go, but you can't even finish all the zones in any given expansion area before you reach max level, so if you're a new player, you know literally nothing about the lore at all

it's really interesting to compare the design and writing philosophies of square enix and blizzard when comparing ff14 and wow. cause it feels like blizzard has nothing but contempt for past content, for established lore, for its long-running characters, and for new players

My outfit for brunch earlier. Had an egg sandwich with potatoes and then a CAPPUCCINO (inadvisable decision, but there could've been worse consequences, I guess) my first time drinking coffee/espresso in like 5 or 6 years, and then promptly passed out in bed for 2 hours when I got home lol πŸ³β˜•οΈπŸ’€

"you can't criticize people for buying harry potter books if you buy food or smartphones" okay but two of those things are necessities to live and one is meanspirited and badly written book series for children

a meme featuring philomena cunk of Cunk on Earth, titled CUNC ON DUNC (in the DUNC/DUNE font) and her standing in the desert, saying: 

In response to his son's concern over the transfer of Arrakis to the House of Atreides, the Duke Leto told his son that "the first step in evading a trap is knowing of it's existence."
Unfortunately for the Duke, he forgot the second step
Which is to actually evade the trap

WORF: Captain, an unidentified vessel is on an intercept course.
PICARD: Send a hail, Mr. Data.
DATA: Yes sir.
DATA:
DATA: Sir, the vessel has left us on read.
PICARD: Hail them again.
DATA: The vessel has turned off read receipts, Captain. However, our sensors indicate they are still communicating with other vessels.
WORF: Outrageous! Arm photon torpedoes!
PICARD: Belay that order.
WORF: But Captain! This is a great dishonor! We can clearly see them posting but they do not respond to our hails!
PICARD: They do not owe us the emotional labor of a response, Mr. Worf.
RIKER: Mr. Data, can you check if they've made any wideband subspace vagueposts since we hailed them?
DATA: There has been one vaguepost, sir, referring to a "rando" vessel that is "obsessed" with them.
PICARD: Arm photon torpedoes.

CUNK: I’m told spice is very important on Arrakis.
PAUL: That’s true, though it’s vital all across the galaxy. No group with power can function without it
CUNK: I don’t think that’s true. We British don’t use spice in anything and we’re doing just fine
