Reply to Should video game directors be talked about in the same sphere as movie directors? by OfficalNotMySalad
No. Kojima is a genius but we have to remember the dude can’t actually program or design things. He’s an ideas man. He has whole teams that works hours and implement his plans troubleshoot them till they work. Also Kojima had great designers and musicians work on his games. The water color character designs are just as iconic as any other part of mgs for me. I even have one of grey Fox in my room Bc it looks amazing

I mean TIKTOK is def a Chinese psyop. But at the same time, Facebook has allowed countries to commit genocide so maybe we should look into all social media

But you’re missing my message. Most kids get books from a library. Used bookstores don’t always have the books you want. And if you’re just browsing you’re not gonna find the books in question…

So they have to buy them? That’s still influencing what kids can consume. No kid can probably buy a book without their parents. So if it’s a book your parent may get mad at you’re fucked

Yeah i was talking more books. Twitter is a platform and a private business. You can't really expect them to play the rules of society bc they can ban you no matter what.

I’m kinda curious what books Dems encourage to ban? And I’m not saying “oh a boycott of tucker Carlson’s book” I mean a literal banning from a library

Reply to TIL The European 30 Years' War 1618 - 1648 began with Czech nobles throwing two Habsburg governors out of Prague castle window onto a huge dungheap. The corresponding carnage - fought over the issue of religious freedom following the Protestant Reformation - left millions dead. by Royal_Bumblebee_
Call it what it was: The Defenestration of Prague.
Those thrown out the window were said to have been caught and placed on the ground by the wings of Angel by their allies and those sympathetic. Those against the Habsburgs said the two governors landed in horse shit.

Reply to Black Quarterbacks in the Super Bowl Reflect Progress and Lost Opportunity by SaraShane
I think the issue is very often Black Qb’s play the position more with their legs than their arms. Hurts ran for three tds last night. Lamar also has been setting records for his rushing attack. The issue with this is they get hurt more or are inconsistent. Case and point, Lamar has been injured a lot over the last few seasons. Most qb’s can’t take that wear and tear and have the endurance to make a Super Bowl. Maholmes and Wilson are exceptions though but if anything they use their legs to extend plays instead of relying on their rushing to open the defense.
