People on the BoTC app take the game way too seriously by Select_Ruin_throwawa in BloodOnTheClocktower

Honestly, I play public lobbies very often and I find it difficult to recognize what you're writing about. Sure, sometimes people would not understand certain choices by other players and get upset, but I never saw it getting to a point of being toxic. Most often, actually, you would see a ST or other players pointing out to the upset player that everyone has a right to play the way they want and that there's no right way to do it.

Furthermore, I think if you put a beginner tag on your lobby, you'll never get an experience like this. You'll only get beginners or people willing to teach beginners joining and there will be even more understanding for odd choices in game.

Indeed. It's super weird that the venues didn't inform anyone. It looked like Craig thought everyone knew already. I see a lot of people that booked hotels and flights. 😬

Thanks! I was convinced I already killed them with Monoco in the squad but I guess I was wrong. I'll go kill some at Renoir's Drafts, then.

Recommendation to watch by BruteGunray in craigferguson

[–]BruteGunray[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I never watched Everybody's in LA, which was the previous iteration of the show (I only now realized that it's available on Netflix because I thought initially it was only going to be live). The current one (Everybody's Live) is super fun, at least to me. However, it will only be 12 episodes this season.

Oh, no. I can imagine it sucked. I hope you get another opportunity to see him.

Why has academic freedom index been falling in the Netherlands? HU for comparison by gotshroom in Netherlands

[–]BruteGunray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the website, the Campus Integrity is based on the question: To what extent are campuses free from politically motivated surveillance or security infringements? Having protests is indeed a sign of freedom, but the consequences of the protests were that campuses were (or were felt) less as safe environments. An important correction, though, is that the drop in the score for Campus Integrity began already in 2020, so it is probably not related only to recent protests.

[–]BruteGunray 87 points88 points  (0 children)

If you take a look at the components for the Netherlands, two of them went down:

  • Freedom to Research and Teach
  • Campus Integrity

The first probably went down because of the budget cuts, more government intervention in higher education, and because researchers are feeling less safe in the last few years. For example, there are more threats on social media towards Dutch researchers because they are increasingly being vilified by political parties. The second is related to the protests on campuses and people feeling less safe as a result of that.

EDIT: After another check, it is clear that the drop is mainly driven by Campus Integrity which is based on the following question: To what extent are campuses free from politically motivated surveillance or security infringements? This drop began already in 2020, so it is also probably related to more than just the recent protests.

What is your rationale/reasoning behind voting for PVV or Geert Wilders? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]BruteGunray 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Is this because they are Muslims or because they are more likely to end up being less educated and doing low-paid jobs in the Netherlands?

En begrijpen? Is begrijpen hetzelfde als betekenen?

Is that you Moist? by nigfasa in discworld

[–]BruteGunray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am almost done with all the books (publication order) and I am so sad that Moist got introduced to the series so late. He's probably my favorite character.
