Fucking antisemites. Why won't they let people wave the flag of the Semitic nation of Palestine? Classic Nazi antisemitism.

China has many more racist citizens than the USA.

Cause there's 5 times as many people there.

Narcisstic Personality Disorder is a lifelong disability with no cure. You can be a nice person with NPD. You can be a wise person with NPD. You can even be a healthy person with NPD, because disorders and illnesses are two different things. Having NPD is like having type 1 diabetes. You can live a normal life, but it's still going to take constant attention to treat, and some stuff is always going to be just a bit harder for you. The myth that people with NPD are abusers is pseudoscientific bigotry. There are plenty of self aware people with NPD and there are plenty of non-abusers with NPD. People with NPD are most likely to be the victims of abuse compared to the abuser, but the kind of people who prey on the disabled to satisfy their own desire for cruelty don't want you to believe that.

Isn't Daggerfall procedurally generated?

Let it die, let it die, let it shrivel up and die!

Moon Knight's arc dealing with a fictive alter is great, but I'd be even happier with the MCU's handling of plurality if there were an endogenic superhero. An endogenic system is one that wasn't formed by trauma. A lot of people in the plural community, called sysmedicalists, think plurality can only be a mental disorder. I'd like it if the MCU was brave enough to include a counterexample to this belief.

A superhero for whom there's more than one person in their head. Bruce Banner and the Hulk are a plural system, and so are Steven Grant, Marc Spector, and Jake Lockley. Although Banner and Hulk have integrated into a single personality by the time of Endgame. In She Hulk, Bruce is actually really surprised that Jen isn't plural. I guess in the MCU he hasn't realised that his plurality is caused by being beaten by his father like in the comics. He thinks his plurality is caused by gamma radiation up until Jen turns into a hulk but isn't plural.

The Nullarbor plain recently electrified with charging stations at enough chip shops that you can drive Perth to Melbourne on a dinky electric car. The electric generators are powered by waste oil from the chips.

will the increased requirements to charge all these vehicles increase power plant emissions worsening the effects of coal over regular vehicle emissions?

No, that's never going to happen. A huge coal power plant is always going to operate at a higher efficiency than a little engine inside a car or truck. It's the efficiency of scale. And that's the starting point! Our grid is already nearing 50% renewable in some places and it's rising.

Well then Epic can make an actual profit on the game when they decide to put it on Steam.

WOW is proof that human beings are biologically programmed to work together to achieve goals. It's a shame capitalism suppresses this desire in people and forces them to only let it out in games. Imagine if we had a society where people's work was properly valued, where they could self organise to accomplish great things.
