[ALT text: youtube commenter gabbyramirez1670: "This guy looks exactky like you woukd expect him to look like lmfao"] and context video (boring warning - simply shows a man crash into girl's kart after being annoyed that her and the people ahead of her keep on stopping on a toboggan)

Bad people come im all spots and stripes. I think that's all i need to say. It's dangerous to ever assume that people who outwardly look similar will have the same behaviour patterns.

I've just been seeing so much of this online. It's rarely racism or similar but... what's the benefit of making this comment? "Ah, funny, i've had bad experiences in my past with someone who looked similar to this!" It doesn't make sense to say such things to the ether, to an audience of 7.5 billion humans.

e.g It might teach you to ride the wave of destiny, and treat life more like a rollercoaster than a linear videogame that you're supposed to grind and minmax in.

In Britain we have a load of royal named things, e.g "The King's Head," "The Prince Henry," or animal themed pubs like "The Three Pikes," The Red Lion (most common oub name) or something gorey like "The Hanged Man," "The Village Chopping Block." On that note, we also have pubs named after landmarks, e.g "The Old Oak," "The Anvil."

Any more modern establishment like a bar can have posher or more postmodern names. Sometimes jokey names.

I was struck by a realisation thst i don't know how other countries name their pubs amd bars. Would be helpful to know, for understanding other cultures. I even don't know for places like the USA, which also speak English. Excited to hear your responses!

I found this super interesting, they've covered the prequel trilogy so far and there's some things in it i would not have been able to pick up on my own.

They plan to cover various star wars serieses like Maul Shadow Lord after doing the OT movies. One presenter is a lecturer on politics, not sure the other guy's qualifications but he also has great insights.

It also raises questions for me about the prequel trilogy. One on my mind at the moment is - why did the seperatists and republic actually go to war? The truest answer of course is that Palpatine wanted it, and manipulated eventd to make it look like both sides were starting on one another, but i wonder why any star system would join up an alliance lead by corporations who say "oh yeah we're building a robot army and we want to f the republic's ship up. Nope we're not going to peacefully secede. That's for losers."

Sex is part of biology - does the no NSFW policy mean no posts even marked NSFW asking a sexual reproduction question, or does it mean I could ask one ias long as it's only using clinical and scientific terms?

"Criticizing Google CEO's UofA Commencement Speech Where He Got Booed"

Not many people have made videos on this event and i think Molly Rocket is right to do one on the topic.

Piped links:

there is SO MUCH booing in this. This speech really should be talked about more. Listen to how many people hate AI. Just one university out of hundreds in just one country.

Whether intentionally or not, what do movies depict or present wrong a lot of the time?

Even the most cosmetic farmland can reach almost maximum productivity, thanks to the aqueducts. There's much less reason to fuss over productivity specialists in this one.

Here's some more screenshots I wanted to share:

The smallest island in the game used to it's fullest. (probably best to use with farmland rather than amber forest camps, like i have done)
