Wasn't the chastity belt hacking story a fake? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEM6SHbjY7Y
Edit: looking into it more, seems like there was a (maybe) real story about it perhaps and then the YouTuber messaged the writer of the original coverage and pretended he was a second victim.
Modern Warfare 2 (the first one). When you're climbing the ice wall and you fall and get caught, the level of detail on the face was astounding to kid me. It was like watching something in real life to me.
Probably helped that it was off of my sister's high def TV.
How can there be civilians at all if mandatory conscription is a thing? Every civilian is a potential soldier in Israel. I feel bad for the people who were just born into the world without making any of these decisions and got hurt but they were, whether they like it or not, going to be used as a tool of terror by the Israeli state.
You can't use your civilians as weapons and then fall back and claim they're not a threat.
If Israel ends the mandatory conscription, and lets the civilians stay civilians, I might have more outrage.
To be clear here, while they advocate for UBI this isn't really a study on the topic as much as it is on direct cash payments to the homeless. Which has been supported by tons of different research in Canada, London, so many places I can't even remember them all.
but that probably cannot be said about Canada.
Depends on what you're eating. Even in the most insanely priced areas, beans and rice tend to be pretty damn cheap, and North Americans do not eat a lot of rice or beans or chili or other cheap foods that are staples in lots of Asian diets.
Butterflies are just crazy animals in general. Back in the 1800s there was even a naturalist arrested in Chile because they thought he was spreading lies about them https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/insect-metamorphosis-evolution/
I don't think it's particularly unreasonable to conclude that any decent approach to the first will also include the second.
It's especially concerning when it extends to global/political issues (this is why I said this might be controversial). Reading a quick Wikipedia summary and/or article can go a long way
One of my favorite examples of people getting things embarrassingly wrong is the "Taiwan is not part of China" crowd. Both sides historically disagree with this. Taiwan being a part of China is not some point that has been in dispute until very recently.
The disagreement has historically been over which is the "rightful government". Sure sentiments in Taiwan have been changing but even this year there was a former Taiwanese president saying this explicitly
Any of the dumbass Americans who proudly declare "Taiwan is not and never has been a part of China" can be easily dismissed.
I've been playing games ever since I was a little kid, I don't really remember any particular "first game". We did have an old SNES that I did all the time so probably Super Mario World I guess.
Yeah he's rich as fuck but he's not a trillionaire
