Dunno, seems like a global problem. European car companies are scared too. And they don’t make those big cars.

The only issue I see is that china is very hostile with how it deals with other countries, otherwise this is just the trend of how things work out. In the 80s, it was the japanese car industry.

Even if they changed how would they win?

They’re just too expensive to manufacture as compared to chinese ones.

Reality = immigrants bad because corporate daddy decided they’re the best scapegoats for all the shit they promulgate.

And I accept that reality because it fits my idea of how I look at any one that’s even slightly different and “lesser” than me.

I much rather be the only one well off. Because reality means only helping those who have the same skin color as me. Everyone else can go die.

Yeah, but as far as I can tell there’s hasn’t been malware in fitgirl repacks. So, I suppose I am outsourcing my vetting to them.

It’s really a question of how much effort I want to put in finding a different source that’s not dangerous. The extra time it takes to unpack them is okay then.

GOG games is fine as well, but they don’t have everything and direct downloads aren’t always stable for me.

I trust fitgirl repacks from the official sources.

Direct downloads and other sources need to be vetted.

Interesting.

Let me rephrase: I always believed it had good writing, but lacked interesting enough scifi concepts for me. In my opinion good writing trumps all, but having a interesting hook always makes writing more accessible.

I had already seen the same save the world and interspecies stuff by the time I was concious enough to play mass effect. (I am not that young, but I think mass effect came out in 2007.)

Curious to know why.

Mass effect for me feels like it’s generic scifi, so I can’t get into it and appreciate the writing but KOTR has a star wars flair at least.

I agree, I use Duolingo because it’s good at making me comeback to learn. But I use it for vocabulary as I feel it is best for that. It was never very good at teaching grammar.

But I don’t know why it is not good at teaching grammar. I don’t think it’s that difficult to replicate textbook exercises in a fun way. All I can think why they don’t have good grammar exercises is that it’s some dark pattern I don’t recognise.

I thought Duolingo was terrible for grammar.

Are there any transoutreach orgs you can contact?

A larger trans community might be able to help you with getting the right resources regarding this.

Signal is a much better choice and its basically a whatsapp clone.

There was definite political will behind those operations and at least tacit support from the western powers at the time. (But only for those nazis which they felt weren’t useful to them).

I don’t really see the same being possible with any country in the future. If there was any political will to do so, they already would have put pressure on them. And as far as I can tell, there’s very little actual pressure on them.

So this isn’t happening, unless the Palestinians are able to form a government of their own and get support from a major superpower with which their interests align.
