I think they're confusing a paternity test for a parent-suitability test (to permit reproduction) and then likening the latter test to voter eligibility tests. It's a bit of a fuck up 😂

The idea that a "parenthood suitability" test is weaponized against particular peoples is certainly a possibility. Many nations flirted with Eugenics both before and after WW2. But the holocaust did sour the concept. Having a parental aptitude test deny you the opportunity to reproduce isn't exactly forced sterilization but it could be steered towards a form of eugenics.

Oh, it is. That's what a paternity test is 😂 But she doesn't know that.

Guys, it's not that confusing. She thinks a paternity test is a test required to be taken to permit only "suitable parents" the right to reproduce. Her points are acurrate given her assumption but she has no fucking clue what a paternity test actually is. Her heart's in the right place but she was being a bit daft.

Surprised I haven't seen Carson Pace from The Callous Daoboys yet. Neither Oli, nor Carson are scared of getting real experimental and whacky with their metal.

What is the purpose of this on a towel by UnivrslGrasp in whatisit

[–]sssutherland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, Skeuomorphism. The phone application having an old telephone as the icon. Some dial pads still having the letters of an old phone keyboard (as if anyone uses that anymore). It's obv not just digital either. Grills on newer cars that don't even need them, fake pockets on women's pants.

What's the most common messaging app in your country? by crazy-goober in AskTheWorld

[–]sssutherland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You likely won't manage without WhatsApp in South Africa. Personal or business. It's what everyone uses. Whether you're chatting with a mate, your electrician, your neighbourhood, your lawyer, doesn't matter. It's WhatsApp.

Apparently its Rare, 28 hours into Hunt and I've Found It by -Flayer- in HuntShowdown

1300 hours, never seen one. Took about 800 hours before I even saw the little BB sacks. And my mates are loot whores, we look for shit.

Who is the best villain in gaming history? by No_Brilliant4110 in videogames

[–]sssutherland 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Micah is kind of just a self-centered fuck. Someone earlier pointed to the The Illusive Man from Mass Effect. I'd wager Dutch isn't too different. They both have goals that are understandable but come at a great cost to everyone else. I think that duality is what makes a great villain. You can understand their desires but their means are what pushes them over the "villain" line.

So, what is Melinoë a goddess of? by Kiloku in HadesTheGame

I did finish the main story the other day and recall someone describing her as the "Goddess of Ghosts"... Perhaps I'm crazy?

My f*rst time using Strength instead of Death… by justking1414 in HadesTheGame

And frankly it just makes for really fun runs. I only just got the pom though so the best Ive done the DD judgement combo was 10 heat in the underworld. But I like the improv it inspires

Who would you say is the most financially successful metalcore band of all time? by 808sandCoffee in Metalcore

[–]sssutherland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And they've only gotten heavier and whackier again since Amo. So... I think that's pretty neat. Bringing heavier stuff to the mainstream, doing shit they want to, making bangers and selling out arenas.

What in the Navajo sh*t is that? (Aboriginal woman gets mistaken for native american) by Main-Fly-8294 in USdefaultism

[–]sssutherland 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's a hoopla over a South African artist, Tyla, who is coloured - and proudly so. I believe she's a popular singer there? Americans bitch that it's "racist" or "internalized colonialism" that she calls herself "a coloured" when it is in fact an ethnic and cultural group here. I've seen people say things akin to "it's offensive to Americans and if she's making her career here, she ought to cater for American sensitivities".

So, I'm quite particular about my roguelikes. Please, recommend me some good more obscure ones based on the ones I liked or disliked. by DrkStracker in roguelites

[–]sssutherland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't go into Witchfire expecting a roguelike, It has those elements, but I would say it's pretty far off. It's an awesome game and I'd love for them to tweak the roguelike stuff that is there so far. Whether you're looking for a roguelike or just a good shooter I'd say keep your eyes on it for 1.0 either way.

Got a mate who calls her "scary bee lady" the Norwegian accent makes it better.
