Who is “they”? I’m coming to my own conclusions.

In the kind of world you’re trying to usher in, your money isn’t going to save you.

“They fucked up”. Means they did something really bad.

Not really an accurate definition. Without accuracy, mistakes will be made.

Oh they let more than that drop. Remember just earlier where they said democrats/government engineered the hurricane, yet at the same time humans cannot affect the climate?

This is terrorism.

I am still awaiting jagged_circle’s witty answer to your question…

What… is… happening…

Ukraine has been an enthusiastic adopter of Starlink after Elon Musk responded to Russia’s invasion by shipping antennas valued at over $80 million to the country

For some reason, I’m reminded of the Trojan Horse.

Proper form is essential to running. There are so many people jogging out there with bad form and little do they know it does them more harm than good.

And speaking for myself, I too love Mr. Sanders.

I personally think it isn’t wise to use an actor of any race in substitute of another, if that character’s race is part of the story. The only reason I could think of to change the character’s race, gender, status, etc. would perhaps be to tell a different story, but then it should be renamed and be a different story. But if a character’s race, gender, status, etc. is tied to that character’s story, then it shouldn’t be discarded frivolously.

From what I see, I feel that a lot of the disconnect is based on whether people find an attribute (in this case, race) important or not as part of the character’s story.

Yes, and I loved that they wrote the black samurai character into that game to tell that story! I don’t get your point?

But magic doesn’t have any grounding or association with the world as we know it. Neither does aliens. We can only use the world as we know it as a frame of reference for a story.

I’d argue in lbaudia’s example that it is confusing if in 12th century Mongolia, there was some Nordic guy walking around, I’d imagine there to be a backstory of some kind. If there wasn’t, then that would definitely be an example where I’d be annoyed at white people in fiction.

I thought a great example of casting was the TV show “The Expanse”. To be able to cast someone as specific as Bobbie Draper so well - these studios have no excuse to whitewash as they do except laziness.

Let’s just say that the dude is rich.

No, no, no! Don’t go back to just saying that! Then we’re back at square one, really underestimating just how rich Elon Musk and other billionaires are!

100 brands? One hundred ??

It took me way too long to see that. Thank you 🙏
