Taiwan had the same concern. What they did is make it so that receipts also work as lottery tickets, to encourage people to ask for them and hold on to them.
Fair. I didn't understand what OP was getting at, so I took them literally. It seemed strange to ignore that white people in the early 20th loved depictions of smiling black people in servant roles.
As for ads targeted at black consumers... now I'm curious. I know there were newspapers targeted at black readers. I wonder if they had ads.
Huh. I always thought the song was meant to be sarcastic. Like, the singer is friends with someone way more famous/popular than him, and people only pay attention to his friend when they're together. "They must think we have the same name, because they never say mine!"
Henry George wrote about this extensively. The solution is a tax on all land at just under 100% of it's rental value. That allows landlords to profit from the structures they build and maintain, but not from the land itself. It disincentivizes real estate speculation, lowering the cost of land and housing and improving accessibility to people who use it productively.
Am I the only one who's having trouble processing the fact that Leela and Nibbler casually murdered someone early in the episode? I mean Futurama has always shown a lot of dark or mean humor, but that really threw me. Especially when they followed it up with such a sentimental story. I don't like it when shows try to mix the two. Either I'm watching the show with the mindset that nothing matters, or I'm getting invested in the characters and their arcs. I don't know about other people, but I can't do both at once.
I vaguely remember seeing a news article about something like that. I think it was a game where killing enemies caused files to be deleted from your computer. It was portrayed as some kind of artistic statement about digital possessions or something.
Someone in the forum where it was being discussed sarcastically said they developed a live action version called "playing baseball inside."
I've heard too much humidity is a bigger problem. Keeps your body from being able to cool itself down with sweat, making you likely to overheat. With desert heat you're probably fine if you have water and shelter from the sun.
I liked that it at least gave a few nods to the idea that living in a patriarchy isn't necessarily great for all men either. Not all men have power, and even the ones that do aren't necessarily happier for it and find themselves competing with other men and restricting their own self-expression. That's a nuance that's lost in a lot of pop feminist messaging.
Agreed, and along the same lines, pointing out bad logic or factual errors used to support a point you actually agree with.
This is similar, albeit much better written, to a theory that I posted on reddit ages ago.
What's interesting about this is that is seems like Worf is among those who misunderstand what Klingons mean by "honor." When Worf refused to support the invasion of Cardassia, Gowron warned him that he'd lose his standing in society, he'd have nothing. Worf answered, "Except my honor." Whereas that act entailed losing, not saving "face."
Another interesting scene was in The House of Quark, where Gowron told D'ghor, "...if you can stand here and murder this pathetic little man, then you have no honor, and you have no place in this Hall." If this theory is correct, Gowron was in a sense ceremonially stripping D'ghor of honor with that statement.
It's possible that the answer is somewhere in-between, however. Klingon honor involves both being trusted and being trustworthy.
Also videos that weren't intended for kids but superficially looked like they were got involuntarily flagged as such and had their comments removed.
A separate site would have been a much better solution.
