"Fun" has been mentioned 55 times in the Mandalorian and Grogu thread.

Sounds like a fun movie!

[Boredfrom]

It’s definitely certain she’s not biased in any way at all.

I'd always heard spain spanish is relatively different from mexican spanish

what is it like for you? like would you be able to say it might be similar to US english compared to UK english? or is it more different, less different?

Is probably more like UK and USA english. Or even more like the UK and Scottish accents.  

For example, I just discovered Rafillo:



I couldn’t understand half of it the first time.  But Spaniards in the comments said that couldn’t either.  

Anyway, when I was a kid I saw two Dragon Ball Z movies in VHS in Spain Spanish, so is not a big problem.

BTW, also remember than Spanish is not the only language on Spain.

I feel like this thread is a very good example of how online discourse is completely aimed at trying to get a monolithic, authoritative group of people to share one's opinion to then bask in that authority and claim your opinion as some kind of objective truth. "I think japanese people probably know more about this than you..." etc.

Which of course only works if you accept that these examples are proof that all japanese people are of this opinion, that they are indeed a monolith and that any disagreement is disagreeing with the nation at large.

We had the same thing happen when some japanese social media users where unhappy about Yasuke in AC: Shadows - where the entire grifter right has immediately and to this day claimed authority on this issue because they have used Japanese people who shared their opinion to claim that disagreement with them is instead disagreement with all of Japan.

Its still absolutely fine to think and express that FH6 is not a great representation of Japan based on your experiences, even if you are not Japanese - because it's disrespectful and frankly just weird to try to paint the opinions of hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of people as uniform and unassailable based on half a dozen social media posts which are very specifically talking about the graphics of the game. They are not talking about the music, the sounds of the world (or lack thereof), the festival, NPCs, voice acting or a million other Things you could specifically like or dislike.

Please don't paint regular-ass countries as these strange monoliths and use other people's opinions to claim moral superiority of your own.

scottish accent makes total sense

That Japan is allied with Germany and Italy in this struggle is no ground for assuming that any Japanese, barred from assimilation by convention as he is, though born and raised in the United States, will not turn against this nation when the final test of loyalty comes. It, therefore, follows that along the vital Pacific Coast over 112,000 potential enemies, of Japanese extraction, are at large today.

You know, we spend very many years studying the inarticulate bollocks of national socialism and russified communism but the way that americans write basic document stuff is so cringe. We can blame much of the failure of western leftism on shit prose in US unis.

Reads like a resetera staff announcement

I think the big difference is that International Corpos will prioritize Spaniard Spanish over LATM. You don’t have any idea oh many DVD and Blu Rays I bought locally got a Spaniard Dub even when there was a LATM Dub playing in TV.  

(Another reason why I’m cynical about Corpos and cheapness)

what the fuck

For everyone that is wondering if this is a mod, fan-made or AI

This is real gameplay footage at the highest settings from the latest AC Shadows 1.1.6 update. The mission here is an AoT collab, you can see for yourself how much effort Ubisoft has put into it

what the fuck

In the comic mark nearly dies, then gets better and is there when the problem is solved.


There spoiled the whole series for you. And saved you 4 months of reading

You know, there was a period of time when old comic heads used to encourage newbies to read whatever they were interested rather than discouraging them, given how bad comic sales were and still are.

I think Slayven is just mad that someone else made comic book thread without being an obnoxious prick about it.

Also Invincible does not take four months to read lmao

I've been in a couple of fake shooting situations (basically someone yelling "he's got a gun!!!") and IMMEDIATELY bolted.

Won't get me.

Yeah cos you're the one telling the guy with the gun to shoot

Anissa (Comic version) is best version. 

[Uncle]

has anyone ever tattooed a comic all across their body, like not an existing comic but a custom one that tells the story of their life or a story that's meaningful to them, so they strip naked and you slowly walk around them reading the comic as it spirals down their body and go "hmm, ah yes I see, wow what a twist"

[Jansen]

Yeah, and *why* can't a smooth brain think?



Because it's a fucking disability.



It's literally in your link







By using the insult, you are invoking the same implications as the disability that causes this to occur. Whether you want to link it or not, there's no other explanation.

Okay thanks for educating me even if it was in the most hostile way possible. My point was the origin of the meme had nothing to do with a little-known disability. So I'm in agreement that education/warnings is probably a better avenue than a ban.

Guys, I'm gonna be real, we've been banning people for this for years now. We did the whole "you shouldn't do this because it's offensive" explanatory phase like six years ago...

If people can't work out that "hurr, brain deformations are funny and should be used to call people an idiot" is something they should probably think a bit more before posting, I don't think a banner warning will do much because people never read those anyway.



What next, people appealing the f word for homophobia and the r word for autistic people because "I honestly didn't know people used it as a slur"? Nah.

The way it was described to you is the very same reason many complain about the discourse here. It wasn't enough to explain it, but it had to be done in the most hostile way possible for maximum effect. Don't you feel small now? Have you learned a valuable lesson?!

Agreed. Why treat another like a human when you can instead come in at 100 MPH to be harsh.

I'll be honest. When people reply like that I ignore anything they are saying and roll my eyes. And then usually on to my ignore list. I don't let strangers talk down to me in real life like that, sure not going to listen to that crap here.



It reminds me of that old Key and Peele skit. "oh, he doesn't hate me because I'm gay. He hates me because I'm an asshole"



I've said in these threads before - just don't assume the worst intentions out of your fellow posters. Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance.



EDIT: that sounds harsher than how I feel. I'm not putting into words well. I don't ignore the message. Just the person. Being kind is going to get your message to go a whole lot further.

As a related point, what is the official stance on making light of strokes and/or insinuating people behaving in shitty ways publicly are the result of a stroke. We have actual stroke survivors on this board, and I know t
hey can't be comfortable with the jokes being made about the topic.

How the fuck is this still going on?

I hope the bystander is alright but I don't think you need to police how people react to these events. Humor is how a lot of us are coping with the absurdity of this administration

I'm not 'policing' anything, simply trying in vain to stop the rot of misinformation from contaminating and completely taking over my favorite forum. But go off, everything is ironic until it's not.

If this is how she combatted misinformation on TikTok or wherever I’m not surprised she lost her job.

Tbh marrying your cousin is legal in Pakistan and normalized as far as I understand, I dated a Pakistani woman at one point who had like 4 cousin marriages in her family at that moment

There is likely higher genetic disorders from having something like that normalized

Doesn't excuse the language or going into people's looks though

Just reading the Wikipedia page on this subject says 60% of marriages in Pakistan are incestuous

In PAKISTAN. What does that have to do with the UK or the other Islamophobia noted here?

Why does he think they would instantly stop marrying their cousins when they're in the UK?

Like yes that tweet is race baiting but it's also a real problem

Edit: There was a motion to ban cousin marriage in the UK and people got upset

Banning first cousin marriage would be eugenic and ineffective
