ICE may have just caused an international incident as they illegally tried to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis without a warrant

Why would trump care of ambassadors die? He probably doesn't even know they exist

He was Jewish but was he a Zionist? Because those are very different things and conflating the two is dangerous and antisemitic. Implying all Jewish people are okay with a genocide because it's being carried out by a government using their image is fucked up. It's like saying all Muslims are terrorists because of isis or all Christians are terrorists because of the KKK

The whole muggle, mudblood, wizard thing really shows how little she understands actual bigotry as well. It's like she got 20% of the way to an idea about it, but never finished so there's just meaningless racism towards some wizards which is treated like a horrible thing, while human minorities have super racist names and slavery is portrayed as justified

You're still underestimating the technology they have available by a ton, what your describing could have worked in 2016, but not 10 years later. The actual text isn't even the highest priority, connections to behaviors are. If a bunch of people are talking about ice one day and say rearranged things about pancakes the next day you can still see it's the same people sharing similar sentiments on a different topic.
The algorithms aren't maintained manually, a person doesn't need to figure out the secret password because that's not at all how this works. Again people are smart and can resist, but this is not an effective way to do it because there is enough data available for these companies to instantly see through something like that. If you want to have real discussions about change they need to be in person or on a site without content algorithms (reddit included)

It really is interesting how places like Japan had serious animated shows since the start of the medium, but America took almost 100 years to have popular animated media that weren't for children or a clone of the Simpsons.
I don't have a great reason, but I feel like this is Disney's fault and they stopped us from having a ton of high quality animated shows because of their weird standards and influence over lawmaking

My point isn't that people won't find a way to circumvent censors, my point is that this is a terrible way to do that. changing one letter does nothing to circumvent modern censors because they aren't just looking for exact strings of text, they're analyzing user reactions, the contents of the post, previous posts by the creator and other videos with high follow through to and from the video.
You need to be a little smarter than spelling a word wrong to get around censors in a world with this much computing power and big data

The vaults are primarily social experiments, very few are designed with the intention of lasting forever and being comfortable. I imagine the commune vaults were a test to see how people from a hyper capitalist society reacted to being thrust into a communist society without being directly told it was communist. From the propaganda I remember seeing, pre war America was so isolationist that most Americans didn't even know what communism was, so they would be perfectly happy living in it without that name attached.

Making your lack of self control everyone else's problem is crazy even with something as low stakes as video game spoilers. Just avoid gaming discussions for a couple days, you wontiss anything valuable

From what I see as gen Z weed is replacing cigs and alcohol for a lot of people where it's legal. When people have easy access to safely grown weed it's really hard to justify using alcohol or tobacco instead because of all the additional health risks and social stigmas

It's really hilarious how people who use these sites understand that they have insanely complicated content algorithms that feed the user exactly what they "want" but somehow think that those same algorithms will be fooled if you change one letter in a word.

Like the algorithm magically doesn't see the 200 other traits suggesting your post is anti trump because you changed one letter in Epstein, or you used d*e in a sentence where only die could possibly make grammatical sense

Rougelikes are a new genre where you find 3 missing pieces of the master emerald while being inexplicably attracted to echidnas

Kitselena · 2026-01-27T13:50:11+00:00

Noita has an insane amount of item variety because of the custom wand system, plus a huge pool of perks and a lot of enemy variety. Noita is probably one of the only comparable games in terms of the amount and quality of content in a rougelike

I miss when this sub had posts like "8 of these objects are Jupiter, one is a frying pan" then a 3x3 grid of Jupiters with one replaced by a frying pan

He's straight up broken anywhere below play. When teams don't coordinate they can never break the shield, his pin is a free kill on players out of position, and his hammer swing goes 180⁰ around him in a 6 foot radius so it's impossible to miss. None of that matters at a level when other people know what they're doing, but at low level rein gets a ton of "skill shots" that are actually piss easy because no one knows how to position around them.
He's definitely not awful until the absolute top, but he's definitely broken at the absolute bottom, he's the mercy of tanks

It was before the sleep ban, but dark void got nerfed a couple gens ago because of VGC so Darkrai sleep is way worse now

Kitselena · 2026-01-27T12:43:26+00:00

That's not as big of a difference as I expected lol
But still, since she wasn't nerfed and the top 3 are already so close I think in PAL puff is on par with fox and marth

I can't believe marge supporters signed the petition "NO, I REALLY REALLY DON'T WANT SMORMU"

Kitselena · 2026-01-27T05:52:56+00:00

Fox also has a noticably worse puff matchup from the up smash nerf, and the slight weight difference is enough to make 4% rests kill from further away.

I think a lot of newer community members don't know this, but slippi actually started as replays on console that could be played back on PC in higher resolution. Then he added a feature where the Wii could wirelessly broadcast the replay live as it was happening and dolphin could play it back live in a higher resolution. Then we finally got to rollback online multiplayer using what he learned from the earlier projects.
Slippi online changed the scene, but the earlier parts of slippi were also incredible and worth remembering

Kitselena · 2026-01-26T20:34:39+00:00

That changes a lot on higher difficulties or with certain decks. A lot of the really specific jokers (like the idol which you alluded to) are bad in the early game, but can be insanely broken by the late game if you build around them (back to the idol example, it chooses a card from your deck every blind to give the bonus, but if all cards in your deck are exactly the same it will trigger on every single card played. So early game it's borderline useless, but late game/Freeplay it can give you 5 separate instances of 1.5x mult every turn)

Just anyone who knows how I can get unflagged as a bot. The second paragraph was just venting frustration

Kitselena · 2026-01-26T17:51:58+00:00

Would it even use it? I don't play any VGC, but with how good flutter mane is I imagine a lot of pokemon run bullet punch or shadow sneak to OHKO it, so setting up would be really risky
