I feel like race is pretty irrelevant to this story. Boy gets lost, locals help him find his way. The fact he was white and they were black is only relevant because we’re expected to relate to the boy’s fear of black people.

At first I thought this was from the new Infowars, but the captions look too bad and the production quality sucks

You mean a skin bra? Sure, but it’s not very stylish, this will keep your boys looking symmetrical

I disagree, and I don’t feel like talking about this further.

That isn’t a consent issue, it’s a false accusation. It’s common for all sorts of crimes to be used for manipulation; either to deflect blame or to cause damage to someone’s reputation. Even if the language of consent is used, it’s not really about consent; in a different cultural paradigm the same false accusation would be made with different words

I don’t think anyone is arguing that animals have no understanding of consent, I think the issue is that there’s a communication barrier in dealing with humans (I.e. they can’t say ‘yes’)
Zoologists have a pretty robust understanding of rape and consent within the animal kingdom, but it’s always through observing interactions between animals.

The idea isn’t that the characters are new, it’s that the names are more widespread than something like the Foxtrot dance, which many people alive today have never heard of.

I don’t know how much of it is hormonal, but I think that testosterone does play a role in emotional processing, and I think that the levels teenage boys deal with is often enough to make some intense feelings difficult to access.
It could also be related to life experience and what you find relatable now vs then.

Worcestershire sauce was a recreation of an Indian sauce by a pair of English men.
Tikki Masala was invented by a Pakistani chef living in Scotland.
Technically both British creations, but I feel like it’s hard to list them as fully British in origin.

It’s nonsense, and men with longer hair who use 6 in 1 have bad results. Longer hair takes more treatment, hair is usually vitalized by oils from the scalp, so the further away from the scalp the more help it needs to stay healthy.

No, any recommendations?

Absolutely. The original Deus Ex is pretty excellent too. And the turn based Shadowrun games. It’d be cool if 2077 was better though.

I finally have a computer that can run Cyberpunk 2077, but it is such a dull game.

The south was actually more accepting of Jews than the north at the time (as long as they had the right complexion). Thousands served in the confederate army, many holding high rank.

The lack of beans and black pudding is especially egregious. If England is giving up on free speech they could at least go after these faux english breakfast frauds.
