Jesus is said to be God, therefore he should be omnipotent and capable of literally anything we could comprehend as humans, or even more than that even.

Obviously it’s all bullshit but yeah.

The comment was talking about things being Orwellian. Is it not Orwellian to have police killing many, many civilians?

Where are the horse exoskeletons for horses that fall and get injured in completely unnecessary horse races?

You are 66 times more likely to be killed by a police officer if you are in the US compared to in the UK.

Pretty sure that’s Europa Universalis 4, but it could be another Paradox grand strategy game. I’m just pretty sure that’s EU4’s user interface. If the humour is that it’s supposed to be Nazi Germany, it would have to be hearts of Iron, and the German Empire would be named the “German Reich”. EU4 takes place before the second world war.

Edit: Nevermind, it’s Victoria 2, still before WW2, though.

If I had this flyer delivered to me I’d use my reasoning skills to bin it, maybe mock it first. Seems silly not to deliver it. It’s only going to be read by the already bigoted. Any sensible individual knows what to do with it.

Ruby is adorable.

Whenever this discussion happens in my country, where the death penalty has been abolished, I always point them to cases like this. They argue “But we will be better”. Historically we have not been better, and we are only getting worse.

Not sure how it works in Japan, but in many nations you have to file for a patent before or pretty soon after you release your product / service. In the US I think there’s a 1 year grace period. It’s a pretty common sense thing that stops whole businesses springing up and then being shut down by patent creation just like we are seeing here.

There are many games out there now that involve catching monsters and making them fight for you, Nintendo would be shutting down 100s, if not 1000s of developers if they wanted to go ahead with this and have it be taken seriously.

Anyone that has played Palworld will tell you that it much more resembles ARK than it does any Pokémon game or experience anyway.

Half of Pokémon are heavily inspired by artist’s (who are not affiliated with Nintendo) illustrations of popular Yokai (Japanese mythological creatures). The rest are simply animals with very generic additions. “It’s a cow but bipedal” “It’s a kangaroo but with horns” “It’s a pigeon but… actually yeah it’s just a pigeon. No difference.”

How can you copyright/patent that? It’s hardly original.

I say this as someone who grew up loving Pokémon.
