I kinda agree, but B2/W2 was actually peak Pokémon. You should give those games a go, it’s samey but polished to rubbish-bag shiny perfection.

Mostly agree… Not sure why you think it’s limited to Western countries though unless you’re including India and China as well as Japan as Western.

And since it’s a feature of Capitalism, I don’t imagine the rest of the world is immune to it.

Where my Alevis at?

I think the footnotes enhanced my love of that book.

And I alway think kindly of Pterry’s nested footnotes.

And still footnotes >>>>>>> […] >>> endnotes.

Only when not looked at on a global scale (such as 1% owns 99% being assumed to be about the USA rather than global wealth). Mormengil’s opening response is very feels over facts (also the claim that there was no state support for the poor can be technically true, but churches and local elite as well as royal dictat were often involved in poor relief and charity in the Middle Ages), the later response are better detailed.

And in the 1200s, global wealth inequality and access to food was for much of the world better or comparable to where it is now.

But global wealth inequality and access to food got worse after colonisation rearranged American and then African economies for European, and then USAian, benefit.

AI is already filled with implicit bias towards the current status quo. It can be very tricky to get AI chatbots to give anything other than platitudes about inequality, and they’re often very quick to try to shut down or redirect talk of system change. To think that they’ll not reflect continued post colonial and extractivist systems of power seems, to me, shortsighted.

What criteria were used for drawing the state borders?

Only it feels right and looks nice, right?

Damn, don’t let whoever replied see any of these other ant emojis or their peace of mind will be gone for good.

for example, the very idea of a “Brown comma” might more readily resonate with the concept of the Brown note.

Whoever it was, well played.

Clone High, Buffy, and Mega64’s musical episodes were all great top tier masterclasses.

I’m sure there are more I’m missing.

And Flight of the Conchords is a contender for best TV show of all time, IMHO.
