huh. That comment didn’t federate properly then.

The link to the article leads to a 404.

His words hold less meaning, but they are often a mirror of others. And unfortunately, these words mirror the opinions of his own staff members.

After US envoy to the UN said that russia was escalating with the use of Oreshnik missiles. Trump lives in his own, russian-curated information bubble.

Yes, Avatar is critized for just retreading the Pocahontas storyline. But it’s a story after all, a bit of narratization is needed. As for the fact that they need the ‘big strong human to protect them’, yes, that is woven into the story too. Jake has both insider knowledge and intel. He not only knows what the human military contractor is going to do, he also knows the motivations behind their action, how far they are willing to go and what it will take to stop them. As such, his input is crucial to rally the tribes and get nature on his side. Only with the help of Grace’s memories is he able to rally Eywa to their side.

But the military doesn’t care. Jake is still in a wheelchair at the start of the movie. Only by accepting a highly dangerous mission, infiltration, is he given the promise of having his old legs restored. And he is only given this job, because his brother passed away and left the Na’vi clone behind. So they are not offering this to any crippled army veteran. And yes, there are some good apples in the military. They turn on the military.

How is it military propaganda? The plot is about a private military contractor destroying an ecosystem for profit, while there is nothing but good things being said about the way of life of the Na’vi.

Wow, so even the conservatives now realized that if you leave no legal avenue for migrants, they will simply come here illegally?

But let’s not get too crazy. If you flee your country with no way of obtaining a work permit in your country, you are still screwed.

I don’t see European nations being the aggressor in the next 30 years to be honest.

You certainly shouldn’t make the mistake of using the default character faces. Those faces have been tarnished by the massive motion capture issues early on.

I guess they want to insinuate that Andromeda killed Mass Effect. While Andromeda certainly got a studio killed, the game itself is actually pretty good in my opinion.

I wonder if, with all the Firefox clones and the header scramblers, the usage percentages aren’t quite as bleak compared to chromium based browsers.

It sounded like they want to deregulate the market in order to entice investors to invest more. It could be a good thing, but I don’t trust those politicians to craft rules that favor anyone but the rich.

So… they want to turn the european jobmarket into the same hellscape that is the US jobmarket?

Why does Starmer seem to be significantly worse than the Tories on some issues? Under his watch the adult content ban went in effect and now this?

They would never, but they should sell the rights of their rpg franchises

You can bid the chance of having (good) Mass Effect games good bye.

Simply take on more debt. Accept that over the past decades a deficit in defense has been accrued and now you tutn that deficit into a monetary deficit. That is easier to handle than cutting health care.

I think that sounds like a really good idea, if you want to get corporate- and government hosted instances on board. What keeps most of them away from free software is that they can’t write a contract with anyone with clear boundaries and guarantees. If Mastodon offers these types of contracts, it would help the adoption rate.

I think Putin sees any disagreement to his narrative as a personal slight. And Putin loves to kill those who slighted him.
