Naming your kid Judas or lucifer has been pretty taboo for the past 2000 years.

The point is that people who haven’t seen someone drown, may not know what drowning looks like, ~~with the exception of media depictions.~~

There, fixed that for you.

Drowning does not look like the splashing depictions in media. So that's not an exception. Because that's not what drowning looks like.

Way to prove the headline communicates it effectively when you just made that exact mistake.

Drowning 100% looks like drowning. The problem is that people dont know what drowning looks like. Including myself.

You forgot the third possible "outcome".

In short, you will never change anything in the present, because it already happened.

everything you've wanted to go back and change has already been changed by you, you going back doesn't change anything, because it already happened, you're just tying up and completing the paradox.

There wouldn't be anyone for you to go back and kill because if you did and succeeded they wouldn't even be alive when you decided to go back. E.g. let's say you wanted to kill Hitler (he's already dead) All you've done is one of the failed assasination attempts. And it's only now you realise that was you.

Some people pay $50-60 for the latest FIFA every year, some people pay $100+ for Netflix every year. Some people buy chips and candy for $100+ a year. Some people buy fastfood for $100+ a year.

How about we just accept that each person get to spend their own money on what makes them happy and leave it at that.

It doesn’t give satisfaction as itself.

Not for you maybe. Because you refuse to see anything beyond "oh they just hate themselves, they're abuse victims".

Like most games. It's a journey, there's a story waiting to be told. All you have to do is ask the questions.

Some people enjoy the journey you take together with your character. And by the end, you realise that it wasn't just your character that became stronger. It was you that became stronger. And the castle that's in ruins is that way for a purpose. Something happened to it. And if you want to discover what that something is. You can.

But you seem like the person that can't comprehend why someone wants to climb a mountain. Why not just take a helicopter to the top?

You know how Neo at the end of the Matrix finally understood how everything works? When he counters every move Smith makes with ease despite getting his ass kicked just moments earlier at the train station.

That's the feeling we get from soulsgames when we overcome a challenge.

You thinking SWAT sounds cool is on you. Though the marketing does help, tv series, movies, games etc.

In Sweden we call our equivalent "Strike Force" but in swedish of course. And they basically have access to whatever they need to get the job done. That's why they exist. And personally, i think their name is pretty cool. It's very direct and you know instantly upon hearing it what it is they do.

They’ve expirenced roughly a 3% increase in their black population from 2010 to today. Going from 3 to 6%.

That's not a 3% increase in black population. That's a 100% increase in the black population. Assuming your numbers are correct. You are today, twice as likely to see a black person in France vs 2010. But we're not talking 2010 are we? We're talking about the 50's

I'm sorry but you really have nothing to back up your claim that the "majority of europe" had seen them in real life.

You also seem hyperfocused on Germany and France but i think you're forgetting the other, roughly 40 countries in europe.

Except for the fact that the vast majority of black soldiers went home and were not deployed in Europe after Germany surrendered.

What does it matter if they were segregated on the battlefield or not, you think there were civilians on the battlefield?

Contrary to what you might believe. Natives in the colonies were not exactly rich. Even in France, during the 50's the amount of black individuals was measured in a couple of thousand. Not exactly a lot compared to the roughly 40 million french.

Your statement was that the majority of europeans in the 50's had seen black people with their own eyes. And that's just not true. I sure plenty had heard about them. Maybe seen pictures. But that's another thing.

I did not see a black person in real life until i was 16 in 2010 and traveled to Florida. And by then i had already traveled around Germany and France. I do not imagine the probability of bumping into one was higher in the 50's

Wow. I don't even know where to begin.

Black US troops (which were segregated from the white troops) did not exactly run around on vacation in the french countryside.

Most French, Dutch, Englishmen, (among others) did not go to any colony. They stayed home... working their normal jobs. Farming the land, making shoes, sewing clothes, building houses. Etc.

And while we're just starting to grasp the concept of US not being the entire world. I have to inform you of the next class, which will cover the fact that France and Germany is not even close to "most of europe".

What makes you think "most white people" in Europe had seen a real black person in 1950?

 

When will people learn? Seriously. They keep touching fire and act equally surprised every time they get burned.

No Man's Sky. (Great now but holy hell was it a shit show)

Cyberpunk

Diablo IV

Far Cry 6

StarField

And now this latest Assasins Creed: Mirage.

Probably forgetting plenty of recent releases too that just faded into nothingness.

Personally, I'll be starting Batman Arkham Asylum this weekend. Heard it was pretty good. Should keep me busy for a while.
