I'm still convinced that fat people just don't have this feeling. Like when I eat too much, I legitimately feel sick. Stomach aches, neck and chest pain, nausea, lethargy, it's awful. I'm on the borderline between healthy and overweight (even though I have basically no fat on my body). I have no idea how anyone functions while eating enough to gain and maintain all this weight. It's completely insane to me
the charts are what people are actually listening to
But this statement by itself is incredibly disingenuous. Artists and record labels literally have to pay Spotify to get their songs to be played in the algorithm. Yes, it is technically what people are listening to but it's actually almost always which record company decided to break open their wallet the most for that particular song.
The only reason anyone cares is because of post WW2 guilt and oil interests. There are other places on earth in nearly the exact same situation (two unsupportable regimes both claiming sovereignty over the same region and committing war crimes against each other) and no one cares about them, let alone even knowing what places I'm talking about, simply because there's no oil involved. The answer is fundamentally the same as when you're walking down the street and see two drunk guys hitting each other. You ignore them and keep walking. Some people just want to do bad things and there's not really anything you can do to stop them. By getting involved you inherently are forced to choose sides and now are supporting someone who doesn't deserve to be supported.
Ok boomer
Right, but from the perspective of a gaming company CEO, it being a sequel is everything. You have to remember, these people are incredibly uninformed and shortsighted. Think of the dumbest person you've interacted with ever, and that's about as intelligent as the smartest CEO. They see that Baldur's Gate 3 sold well, and all they learn from that is that sequels are a profitable endeavor. They couldn't care less about any of the context that makes it a good game.
Tl;Dr of history of israel-palestine conflict:
Britain colonizes Palestine and makes it Israel
Israel recognizes this as kinda bullshit and willingly offers basically half the land to existing Palestinians and also offers full citizenship to any Palestinian who wishes to remain in what is now Israel.
Palestine refuses the deal, declares war on Israel
Israel kicks their ass, again offers a deal with less land
Palestine again says no, basically a cold war begins
Other Arab countries refuse to allow Palestinians to move there, also declare war on Israel and get their asses kicked
Terrorists begin attacking Israel from Palestine, especially from the West Bank
Those terrorists are elected to run Palestine in a free and fair election
Israel begins committing human rights violations against Palestinians
We've now been at this last stage for at least two decades, possibly longer but I can't be bothered to fact check myself on the exact dates right now. And yes, this is absolutely as short as the TL;DR on this situation can get, I'm 100000% sure both sides will get upset about details I left out even in this longer story.
Baldur's gate is the third installment in a decades old franchise that is based on d&d, a franchise that has been established for nearly 50 years now
