i've met a few! but... i'm polish, so you know :D i'm glad most of the bad eggs are contained here though

i think the biggest ??? happens to Poland when we're talking "central vs eastern europe". because geographically - pretty central, historically - pretty eastern, and right now? who knows

let's not compare people who struggle with learning difficulties that are out of their control to people who choose to make bad decisions every day

isn't china struggling with deflation nowadays, though? they can afford things perfectly well, they just don't do it

(correct me if i'm wrong i know fuck all about economics)

you look in a mirror, think hard, and undo that

the TV is big and slow, a computer, more nimble, can outrun the ads, the TV is too slow to even attempt dodging

Eve was made from a man's rib, so in a way at first she was a clone of his flesh, XY chromosomes and all. The bible does not elaborate on how the abrahamic god made her into a woman, she was able to bear children so there was definitely a change made to the "original" masculine reproductive system, but we don't know at what stage of her becoming a being that occured. Either way though - Adam's rib was transed by god themself into a woman.

now i'm wondering how all the christian terfs would react if someone said that trans women are actually the original women

still doesn't change the fact that that's not a game for kids, and the adults for whom that game was made can make as many bad decisions with their money as they can afford

i'm not in favour of gambling for children don't get me wrong, in fact i was once a victim of it (thanks to wizard101, a game advertised as and marketed for children), but Valve just did not enage in that. if a child is playing a game that's clearly marked "M" or "PEGI 18" then it's the parents' responsibility to figure out if its something appropriate for their child

iirc it linked me to some paper someone wrote in Cardiff T–T

turnitin once highlighted my page numbering as plagiarism

nahhh, lootboxes existed before CS:GO or TF2. and neither was supposed to be for kids in the first place! card games like MTG were one of the first mass created to use those mechanics

you know what was supposed to be for kids, had (& still has) lootboxes galore and other predatory monetisation tactics? Wizard101 (2008)

i don't see many people complaining about MtG or Wizard101, but folks love to point out how Gaben did a bad thing by taking something that was already a concept (that people liked) and making it digital, whereby he accidentally created something he could never uncreate

vegetable flavoured water? thinnest of broths? realistically, we call it nothing because what would you even do with something that's 15% vegetable puree and 85% water? my only idea would be to add more vegetables to make it into something, or to use it as i'd use regular water to boil other vegetables or make pasta in it
