  • I have mixed feelings on the matter. When the state can force you to comitt atrocities each person is going to have to weigh at what point are they willing to forfeit their own lives.

    If your military is committing war crimes then they're probably not above imprisioning you for a very long time or just executing you. So at what point does your morals outweigh your innate drive to survive? This gets more complicated if you have a family back home.

    Of course this goes away when you are looking at a voluntary military. Part of the reason the US went this route. They can grab the desperate/poor and feed them into the war machine. The average citizen then ignores the suffering and the country never creates ladders out of poverty so they can keep a steady supply of soldiers.

    All in all it's pretty fucked

  • And here I thought it was getting onto their knees, opening their mouths, and allowing the lord's body into their receiving and patient mouths

  • I mean you dont even have to bother just tear that whole section off

  • Ah yes the frivolous attachments of rent, food, and electricity

  • You know what makes cutting my salary hard? Everything is far too expensive. Kids even more so.

    This type of mentality was way more common maybe 30 years ago but it's eroding away these days

  • As an American, while I can't tell you if this OP is serous, I can tell you there are many here that do feel that way

  • That 20,000 times bit is directly from the data. I read the article and it seemed pretty clear and not over exaggerated.

  • You misunderstand, they usually make their usernames stuff like this because it's edgy or crude. This wasn't done to call them gay or anything. This is what they already do.

    Just Google "DOGE BigBalls" to see an example

  • I love how accurate this image is. As they hammer more the structure becomes more and more unstable.

    I've noticed the AI search suggestions from Bing and Google are just becoming more and more inaccurate as they feed off themselves. I can't even imagine what it's doing to systems we can't see.

  • Maybe when I said they didn't need "radical changes" you thought I meant they shouldn't change the games? Because I meant they wouldn't have to make any radical changes to their current products to make them more appealing to their older fans. I'm saying they could keep basically all the changes that make the modern games modern and add some simple things like menu options for difficulty and maybe some optional content similar to old events (contests, pokeathelon, etc.) or a really a long list of small tweaks that dobt change the modern games much at all. Just enough change to make them more appealing and challenging for those that want that.

    That could be the confusion.

  • A toggleable hard mode is really that much to ask for?

    A menu option to disable exp share?

    Fuck man just give me another pokeathlon

    I don't see how any of these optional things would ruin the expirence, be expensive to implement, or are that much to ask for.

    Hell I'd love to be able to go into buildings again, but I guess that would ruin the games irrevocably

  • See this is where you ignored the last part of my comment. If you hadn't you'd get why the Harley example makes absolutely no sense

    Nintendo could make some pretty small QOL adjustments that would make older fans very happy and not really make much of a difference at all to younger fans.

    I never suggested to make their games more mature. There's plenty to do that's still friendly to their target demographic that would still keep the older demographics engaged

  • Right that's the issue they keep targeting the same age group when they did have the option to try and keep their old fans too.

    Honestly the core games could easily have all included the hard mode from B/W2 would have probably kept me engaged for at least a couple or more games

    They really didn't need any radical changes to keep their old fans either

  • It's not free in every region, but it's still practically free when compared to some countries

  • The math does several limit the possible number of births. Only about 1,000 of those people would have been female and even if we're generous and assume 80% were of child bearing age that gives you 800 women that could have children.

    That's going to be an incredibly low birth rate and it's very unlikely each woman would be having a child each year.

  • From my understanding of the subject the current consensus is the bottleneck did happen. There's been fluctuations in the exact number, but under 5,000 is what is most widely supported by the evidence.

    The only debate I'm aware of is the exact timing and cause of the bottle neck. It was widely believed a volcano eruption was responsible, but that has become more discredited. It appears the population decline occurred before the eruption and took a significant amount of time to climb after the eruption.

  • Unfortunately that's still not quite right.

    The individual was, potentially, "evolved". But the population "reverted" back.

    Individuals cannot evolve, but more importantly there is no "reverting back" evolution moves in one direction. It's the slow slow change in the genetics of an entire population.

    Additionally, rocks slides and evolution are not really comparable. As you said only one rock needs to fall to cause an event that has a definitive start and end. Evolution is an ongoing proccess that never ends and it is infinitely more complex than a rock slide. The issue is we as humans are attempting to categorize an ongoing never ending proccess.

    At somepoint in human history there was likely a day where not a single human died.
