On the one hand, I have Hasbro wrecking DnD.

On the other hand, I have Hasbro making literal wishes come true with Hearts of Steel figures and a mainline Heatwave.

Truly mixed feelings.

Approaching this cynically, all right-wing politicians blame groups as others as being the cause of their country's societal ills. That's just how it works.

Jewish people were just one of the targeted groups, along with LGBT people, disabled people, and communists.

One universal truth throughout history is that it's hard to unite people behind a common goal, but it's easy to unite people against a common enemy.

Listen to any right wing politicians from around the world - their plans for making things better all start with getting rid of someone (be it a group of people or a governmental department).

I remember that show. It was like Muppet Babies except with crows.

Same experience here. A former co-worker and good friend was raised JW, and was practicing for all the time I worked with him.

We used to have long conversations about it, as I was raised CofE, so was fascinated by some of the more extreme takes.

Anyway, he now only refers to them as "the cult" and has absolutely nothing good to say about them.

Ah, ok. Sorry, I thought you were referring to well-off 'ordinary' people.

Totally agree that the way governments fawn over corporations is beyond the pale.

It's a neat idea, similar to how displacement maps affect the output without affecting the geometry of a 3D render.

Also, I like this image, as it makes me feel less bad about my own grizzly-looking heat block.

I don't understand what you mean "still getting plenty for free".

I agree that there shouldn't be this kind of wealth inequality, and it's madness that people are starving in countries that are so prosperous, but it's a little disingenuous to ignore the fact that wealthier people pay more in tax. They're not getting stuff for free, they're getting stuff for more than it costs poorer people.

Children's clothing too.

Where do you think this is?

Lemmy isn't university. There's no implied or expressed expectations of "academic argument".

My gut feeling is that the first person to do this would be opening the gates to all kinds of abusive derivatives being created. She's awesome, she doesn't deserve that.

I'd argue that's the correct order of operations.

I'm not much up for eating the cake after having it.
