    The first sentence of wikipedia: “Race is a categorization of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into groups generally viewed as distinct within a given society.”

    Also you not understanding that there are physical differences, if more subtle, between Eastern Europeans and those descended from Celts and the like is a you problem.

    Europeans will also be like British people treating Polish people like shit, or various flavours of white people from adjacent communities deciding the other white person needs to be struck from the earth.

    Europeans can absolutely be violently racist. I mean, who do you think sold all those slaves to the US?



  • Once capitalism has regulations to keep it in check and a democratically elected government is in charge and willing to do those things it’s no longer capitalism. Capitalism is putting monied interests first and crossing your fingers that the free hand of the market is anything more than a fairy told to naive idiots to make them support a corrupt-by-design system, such that those monied interests can be said to be chosen “democratically”(vote with your wallets).

    Capitalism just sucks. It was made up so parasites nobles didn’t have to give up their ill-gotten wealth when feudalism ended. Fuckin’ thing is rotten to its core.

    Or they just like smaller pieces. I don’t break pasta, but also spaghetti is a pretty shit shape for pasta and it feels like just weak attempt at a noodle more than anything.

    I swear, people that cook Italian food just have zero creativity. “Oh I only use two ingredients but they’re quality” is such a lame excuse. “Yea this plate of mediocre pasta costs $25-30 no matter where you go but if you ignore the pho place next door it’s a pretty good deal!” Like, just a bunch of losers who don’t enough going for them so they get all juiced up on being pricks over their mediocre food.




  • Look, if Canadians were willing to vote in the Liberals then I think we can get over some of this stuff, and that’s coming from someone who’s learning French in Montréal despite it being a place one can be very anglpphone in.

    I’ll give a shit when the standards are consistent and when Canadians can finally accept that the Liberals are a conservative party and them being between the far-right and our main progressive party does make their shitty behaviour any more “balanced”.




  • The US has always been kinda crappy. Look at who it picks fights with and look at who it generally avoids and you’ll learn a lot. Europe is better than them in so many ways and they know they’d get stomped if they compared themselves to most of the continent so they instead compare themselves to places that are a little more in line, often times because they themselves destabilized the region. Whenever Europe is mentioned it’s “oh, we couldn’t do that here because we’re different.”

    Here in Canada we suffer the same problem except we compare ourselves to the US as our low bar.



  • You’ve already shown a flaw, which is that English inflections do not match other languages. “I will go” in English is not “Je irai” in French but rather some more like “moi, j’irai.” The sound of the voice also wouldn’t make any sense because different dubs will change to fit local stereotypes. In the states they will have someone sound like a redneck but in Germany they might lean into a Bavarian accent for the same effect.

    With the low level of understanding demonstrated in your comment, plus the high level of confidence in your solution, you’re showing exactly why it’s a bad idea. Just pay voice actors and pay them enough that they will actually be of a certain quality instead of bitching that the dime-store VA people aren’t giving you top-tier performances.

    Take the AI and throw it straight in the garbage. We don’t need it and we don’t fucking want it. All it does is cost more money to produce a product that only an ignorant, over-confident corpo thinks is any good.


  • These people are the kind to talk about how smart and great they are and that’s why they deserve hundreds of millions of dollars but also when all the studies show that four-day work-week would lead to increase productivity and a high quality of work they kick and scream like little babies.

    They don’t know what they’re doing so they complain about the rules that make things hard. Why get good when you can just throw a temper-tantrum and then brag about how you finished Dark Souls without telling anyone that you played it on god-mode?
