That’s so disappointing to hear. But I guess it is on brand at this point to turn out that way unfortunately.

Last I heard, the replacement was way better if only because the bar was so low, what have I missed? Is it someone other than the temporary replacement or is the temporary replacement bad for reasons I may not have heard of? Genuine question because I haven’t heard anything about in a while.

That was a great breakdown, watched it earlier today. I didn’t expect much but honestly if I’d been told it was a Reddit comment instead of a psychology essay, I would have believed it without question.

The fact that there were confusion of which instance of flashbanging an infant says it all. That this didn’t lead to a many year long sentence or any consequences at all really is just sickening.

I can’t tell if this is a hypothetical or a story I missed.

Edit: to be clear it is the baby flashbang I’m referring to.

In Denmark where I’m from we’ve just held mayoral elections and an interesting thing happened that highlights how much voting systems matter. In one particular municipality a party got enough votes that they had more seats in the local legislature than to hey had candidates. This meant that they appointed someone from a different party to the final seat. They got more votes than they could represent themselves so they chose who they thought most aligned with them and appointed that person. No votes were ignored due to happenstance, there were clear rules to handle it.

Now I very much do not agree with this party and I’m saddened by their popularity in the area, but such is life in a democracy.

If you want to say that god made concessions to man go ahead. He still instructed them in how to hold chattel slaves and implied that they could do so ruthlessly, only restricting them from doing so to eachother.

Leviticus 25:44-46

44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

What would you say: is buying slaves from the nations that surround me still right, did god instruct people to do wrong or did right and wrong change?

Agreed, but funny coming from a ca instance with the Canadian indigenous boarding schools famously continuing into the 90s as well.

It’s about time that we (Danes) take responsibility for the incident, not only by apologizing, but also by giving reparations.

I’ve used Godot a bit for hobby projects and I like it. I have only experimented with 2D games but it is the simplicity and flexibility of the scene system that really sets it apart for me, so that should carry over to 3D I imagine. I used Unity in the past (half a decade ago) and compared to that Godot feels more coherent as concepts just fit together in a way they didn’t in Unity. Once you understand scenes and how they communicate you can get pretty far. To achieve the same in Unity I had to learn of and understand more concepts to make it work. This may however also be colored by the fact that my learning Unity and learning programming overlapped so I didn’t have as much background knowledge back then.

I second going straight to unity in this case. I startet my programming journey with unity tutorials and my own hobby projects. This gave me a good grasp of many of the fundamentals when I started learning programming at university. It wasn’t comprehensive but it was way more effective than any attempt I had before then due to the motivation and great tutorials available in that space.

Unless some politician had a recent shitstorm and no other politician was in hot water currently, I would probably ask who it was they wouldn’t vote for because I would have no clue. The same would apply if instead of a single person, it was about a single party, unless an especially bad one had popped up that election, I simply wouldn’t know which party they were talking about. I don’t even think I’d be suspicious, I’d be too busy being confused or curious.

For context, we currently have more than a dozen parties represented in government and half a dozen that didn’t get enough votes this time around, but are big enough to be recognizable and sometimes getting representatives in government.
