listen if i wanted to struggle with some dumb task and fail a dozen times for bullshit reasons only to get some underwhelming reward once i finally get it right i would just live my actual life and not play video games smh
pls love urself
Oh and if you want to play something like Dark Souls? Don’t feel bad for using guides or looking up walkthroughs. I’ve done that to find specific items, or when something is so bullshit and obscure that I need help for it (I’m pretty damn good at it, too.)
And guess what? My experience didn’t diminish at all. If anything it helped me.
Use guides. Use cheats. Use item duplication glitches. Clip through the floor going 30 miles a second. Just have fun
Because sometimes what you need most is to watch a baby armadillo named Spock, yes, Spock (look at those wee Vulcan ears!), lapping up milk from a teeny-tiny bowl at Zoo Wroclaw in Poland:
After Spock’s mom, Hermonia, showed no interest in her newborn pup, zookeepers jumped in to raise him by hand. It took the keepers a little while to successfully get Spock to nurse because he wouldn’t drink from a bottle or an eyedropper. This tiny red bowl, however, turned out to be just right. By the time Spock reached 6 weeks old, he’d already tripled his weight.
Head over to ZooBorns to learn more about Southern Three-banded Armadillos and Spock the armadillo pup.
So I heard you all wanted to live in the worst timeline.
That’s horriblarious.
So what I find particularly breathless about it is that this means that you have a substantial subset of the population who would think that NPR was agitating for revolution, that that was an outcome that wasn’t just feasible, but was viewed as a real immediate action. How hopeless is the idea of reaching a group of people who’s objective reality is so far out of touch that they can’t even see the absurdity or the impossibility of NPR demanding in flowery 18th century verse, for the deposing of the President?
This is simultaneously the funniest and most depressing news story of the week.
It doesn’t change the underlying wrong doing, but it adds an extra weird twist in which a “Christian” for-profit company probably smuggled looted antiquities that they were warned were probably looted and decided it didn’t matter if they were paying money directly or indirectly to ISIS and other terror groups because it was important that they have these items for their soon-to-open passion project in building a money-making shrine a Bible museum.
Now, in general, the Bible, like many religious texts, has had a huge impact on history and there are plenty of non-religious people who devote their lives to studying parts or all of the text or its impact. The idea of a private Bible museum isn’t inherently stranger or more worrisome than lots of other museums out there.
That said, this museum is inherently being built with a Christian focus (again, this isn’t necessarily a worrisome thing. It’s a private organization and they can push whatever message they want), but part of the goals of the Museum are to build a high school Bible curriculum. They want this to be made for “markets around the world” and it’s currently being developed with teams in the US and Israel. They boast that it’s already being piloted in public and “at risk” schools in the US.
So, to summarize, you have a private, for-profit company knowingly funneling money into questionable hands (at best) or terrorist groups (at worst), abetting the looting of priceless artifacts from countries that have been pillaged by western powers for decades, for the purpose of building a museum with the goal to increase knowledge and engagement with Christian ideas and the Bible both inside and outside the walls of the museum itself.
What would Jesus do? Idk, man, but “Fund some terrorists and illegally acquire to help fill the shelves at a new museum with $500 million in assets to help show off how great Christianity is while supporting a Presidential candidate (now President) who is actively against helping those who are harmed by western interference and terrorism in those countries” doesn’t seem like the clear translation of directions like “cast off all your possessions and follow me” or “care for your sick, your orphans, your widows, and aliens, because whatever you do to the least of these you do to me.”
The report’s co-editor, Dr Roni Stauber, said this is explained by the fact that while most European countries have either a strong far-right presence, as in Eastern Europe, or a strong Muslim pro-Palestinian community, as in Western Europe. What is “very unique to Britain” is that is both are strong, and both are perpetrating attacks against Jews.
There’s been an increase in reports across the board since the EU referendum vote (yay “strong far-right presence”), and what a surprise that this includes antisemitic incidents!
Reliable statistics are hard to come by. However we do know that hate crime is under-reported. In 2015-16, police forces in England and Wales recorded 62,518 hate crimes. But the Crime Survey for England and Wales7, which provides an alternative measure, estimated that 222,000 hate crimes took place in the same period. Under-reporting varies significantly between different strands: recent figures in England suggest one in two racist hate crimes are reported to the police; this drops to one in four for homophobic crimes, one in 10 for religiously motivated hate crimes, and one in 19 for disability hate crimes.
Even when crimes are reported, they are not always prosecuted. In Northern Ireland, 1,614 incidents of hate crime were recorded by the police in 2016-17, but just 16 per cent have recorded ‘crime outcomes’, such as prosecution or police warning. Only 18 per cent of recorded racist hate crimes in
Northern Ireland resulted in a prosecution, police warning or other outcome8. Crown Prosecution Service figures reveal a similar picture in England and Wales, with the police service referring just 21 per cent for charging in 2015-16.
