Conservatives painted DEI as providing Equity in a discriminatory way.

IE: We are hiring 100 people; we have set a goal to hire 30 people of color, 20 neurodivergent people, 20 queer folk, and 10 Women but we are NOT setting a goal for Straight White Men.

The narrative has been made that Straight White Men are being excluded from graduate programs because these quotas must be filled.

In this extreme example it looks pretty bad, because we should be striving to hire and place people based on talent and reliability alone.

It is a branding issue. The outrage has nothing to do with what DEI really is but focuses on a rare example that does the opposite of what it was designed to do.

Another example of how the Truth™ is being used to divide us.

The previous comment is just cope. If you can afford to travel then do so and see how you like it. Traveling is a work out for your brain. We fall into the same patterns of daily living and traveling smooths those grooves. It makes us appreciate things we overlooked and took for granted and gives us a lot of depth when comparing things based on our senses. You can't reproduce the smell of a spice market or sound of a snowy mountain. Some things are vastly over hyped but that's because of how we package our vacations to be quick and efficient. If you only do group tours when you are tired of self determination then you will enjoy those better too. All that being said I have been the person in this meme before. When you do a big trip it BECOMES all you think about because it was so impressive. It takes a while before your interest becomes more natural again. People will be annoyed hearing about it and in no small part is that jealousy because the vast majority of us can't afford the time and cost of big trips. It's the same as any hobby, you can't expect other people to be in on your obsession. Traveling is great.

A little context; This began as American First Nations medical tech. Tobacco smoke enemas were used to treat a variety of conditions, including constipation, bowel obstruction, and colic. They eventually abandoned this because of the toxicity of nicotine. The drowning bit was a last resort treatment. We don't have any info on it ever working. As far as old medicine goes this isn't the biggest offender.

I reccomend you give Sekiro a try or watch a let's play. You clearly don't know what the game play looks like. Bosses should be hard but I never had to watch a video or read a guide to beat something in a souls like game.

Sekiro is a much better game than both Jedi Academy and DMC4. It is in no way slow or boring. My opinion and also the opinion of the majority of reviewers.

[–] syreus 3 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Every game you have mentioned enjoying involves a lot of hand holding. I get why you are not a fan of Fromsoft. You have a strong opinions but I assume it's just because you are likely older and jaded like myself. Nobody under 30 has played Jedi Knight/Academy.

That being said all of those games are very different from one another. Sekiro is a completely different beast. The only thing tying them together is above average difficulty that can be (mostly) alleviated by grinding.

You have to face that we aren't the target demographic anymore.

The prompt for the yearly review is "Are you safe from duo(the owl).

I only had 13 mistakes but I was not safe from duo somehow.

They really embraced the owl being a psychopath meme.
