Box Office: ‘The Marvels’ Gets Grounded With MCU’s Second-Lowest Opening Day Ever
  • As someone who comes from a Canadian Muslim family, that's probably the thing that made me stop watching the show. It was just so over the top in terms of Muslim culture that it just seemed off. The way Islam was brought in to pretty much every discussion, no one actually talks or acts like that, at least no moderates. It's no different from people of Christian backgrounds who I am sure aren't talking about being Christian 24/7. It just felt like pandering.

    French ambassador is being 'held hostage at the French embassy' in Niger, says Macron
  • Ok even looking at market prices of uranium, around $80/kg, Niger is still selling at 100 times cheaper than market rates to france. That is ridiculous.

    French ambassador is being 'held hostage at the French embassy' in Niger, says Macron
  • People keep blaming Russia as if Africans are somehow incapable of making their own decisions. The reality is Africans are tired of French neo colonialism. Niger is a perfect example. They were selling france uranium for $0.8/kg when the market price is $200. That's Niger's resources going to power French power plants, while the people of Niger are struggling to survive. Fuck that shit.

    Tennis ball wasteland? Game grapples with a fuzzy yellow recycling problem
  • That's a thought I've always had a well, of we all actually like the same colours. Also could just be how you are raised. I remember calling tennis it green since I was a child and no one disagreed so the colour I see for a tennis ball, my brain sees as more green than yellow. It actually blew my mind when I first realized some people consider that colour to be yellow or at the very least closer to yellow.

  • Meh, they had to make the changes. The book cycles through characters every few chapters. You can't make a show without characters people can invest in.

  • That is absolutely not a bad faith interpretation but rather a clear reading of what you have said so far. If you cannot see the similarities in communist and fascist methodologies and execution, both historically and looking at the current climate, you are not assessing it objectively. Both communists and fascists have utilized repression, non democratic governance, torture, and killed millions of civilians who have the audacity to challenge their extremist views. Similarly with this discussion thread being a perfect example, both communists and fascists react negatively to any and all criticism and works hard to brigade and shutdown any discussion that might be contrary to their views.

  • I am not sure what kind of strange bubble you live in but that is objectively not true. Most people on the left are most definitely not communists. You either do not understand what the word communist means, or you live in a very strange bubble or country where everyone on the left is described as a communist.

    Communism (from Latin communis, 'common, universal')[1][2] is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in the society based on need.

    Most people on the left are NOT pushign for common ownership of the means of production and distribution and are most definitely not in support of a centrally planned economy.

    This is also the danger of extremist views, they think anyone who does not subscribe to their extremist viewpoint is against them and the enemy when in reality, 90% of the people on the left would not agree with communist ideology which has failed in reality time and again.

  • Just because you can't differentiate between what a personality type is and what beliefs and positions are doesn't mean that statement isn't true. You just seem to conflate political positions with behaviour itself.

  • I didn't even say right and left are the same, I specifically mentioned extremists who are a minority on both sides.

  • Again you should try learning to read. I never said people on both sides. Most people on either the right or the left aren't extremist commies or fascists. The extremists minorities on the other hand, one and the same. Intolerant of any other views or criticism. Your comments are a perfect example demonstrating.
