The last person, I was curious about WTF they were on about. It was wartime propaganda from WW2. They're openly comparing the war to the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany.
To be fair, my history teachers taught me a lot of propaganda.
This Indian says he can fuck right off.
That's another comparison I often make actually. Except not the Cuban missile crisis, but Cuba's entire history after Castro took power. The difference is that Cuba was sought as an acquisition, while Canada's relationship is more akin to Russia's relationship with Ukraine. The US's greatest ally and partner.
I had an American friend who at the start of the war made the comparison I often make myself. What would the US have done if Canada was in talks to join the Warsaw Pact? I was seriously impressed that he'd nearly figured it out.
A month later, he started yelling at me that Putin was only interested in conquering Ukraine and was trying to rebuild the USSR (this was seen as a bad thing). I was so disappointed. He's not my friend anymore for many reasons. But that was the beginning of the end.
If you have someone on TV repeat something enough, I think people just start believing it to be true, despite all evidence and common sense. This guy's analysis is just so completely obvious that I'm amazed his comment section isn't filled with people accusing him of being a Russian bot.
I got yelled at to go home the other day. By a black guy. I'm somewhat used to it from white people, but I was shocked enough that I actually engaged with him, and told him that I was native.
He told me that everyone was native because of Pangea, and wouldn't listen to me when I said Pangea was about 200 million years before people even existed (creationist I think). I disengaged very quickly at that point, but I was pretty unsettled by that event for a few days afterwards.
I still have no explanation. Or any idea of where he thought I should be going home to.
That's the first time I'm hearing about Hitler being a saviour. God what a terrible time to be alive.
The falsification isn't what bothers me most. It's saying shit like that, while completely ignoring Dresden, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima.
If you only play one JRPG in your life, make it Chrono Trigger.
If you do, don't judge the franchise based on the first game. Silent Hill 2 is a very different game.
It was decent when it was released. It had some great ideas that were only really realised in the second game. I think playing through it these days would be a bit of a slog and I'm not sure I would recommend it for a modern audience. I might suggest starting with 2, and if you need to play more, then play the first and third games (in that order). Everything after can be safely skipped.
They are SO uncomfortable to shoot though. I'm told you get used to it, but I came away very disappointed after shooting a couple. They're awkward to hold, the brass is usually ejected uncomfortably close to your face (or in your face if you're a leftie), and mag changes are obnoxious.
