That one was on purpose:
In the book, just like in the movie, Spearchucker reveals that the nickname “Spearchucker”, ordinarily a racial slur, referred in this case to his javelin-throwing prowess.
They use the racism behind his nickname to address racism in the show:
The film also depicts Spearchucker as a particularly skilled neurosurgeon and this, together with the experience of playing football together, helps Duke Forrest overcome his racial prejudices and the two become friends at the end, shaking hands when it is time for Duke to go back stateside.

Its your hypothectical man. I’ve told you the community will need to come to a consensus on how they handle violence. Thats the only answer I can give if you wont give me the details above.
- Comment on Female tourist takes down phone-snatcher in Argentina 3 days ago:
Id be glad to. Just tell me the name of everyone in the society, their general roles in different social situations, their agreeded on laws and rules, and their specific stance on violence.
Once you do, I can answer your very specific questions about a society that hasent been defined.
- Comment on Female tourist takes down phone-snatcher in Argentina 4 days ago:
Sure. You try to head off the behavior before it gets there by ensuring baisic needs are met for all and through social tools like shunning.
Youre scenario springa up whole clothe without yhe above, so i would offer the following for it : Jail, exile, death. The order depends on the people involved in the society they created.
Being an anarchist doesn’t mean you lack the current tools we use, it means you dont have to use them, or at least you dont have reach for them first.
- Comment on Female tourist takes down phone-snatcher in Argentina 4 days ago:
Anarchy would shun them from social systems until they made appropriate reperations. They might be jailed, they may be exiled, they might just be cut off from all but basic food/services/etc.
There are law enforcement answers in anarchist societies that are “have cops.”

I randomly kept my orange box case and found it recently. Lets find out if i can mod the machine to fit inside of it.
- Comment on Valve announces three new products: the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller 1 week ago:
Its both, based on their article. Its an ARM chip they have a translation layer called FEX to handle, so it should be able to play most any steam game. Native vulkan games will apparently run even better.
In standalone mode, the intergrated chip will use about 20w, so you will get about 1 hour of playtime on it because of the 20wh battery. In streaming mode, the graphocs will be better, and the power use cuts to about 6w, so it can go 3-4 hours.

Can you highlight where you link this steam deck advice? There are no references to steam, steamdeck or linux in the article, and the only linls aee to the projects websites. Do they have a steamdeck guide?
- Comment on Preserving Play: How Eden Grew Into the Switch Emulator Everyone’s Talking About (my interview with the devs) 3 weeks ago:
Why? It sounds like an old link description that they didnt update. Webdev likely isnt their top priority being emulation devs, and frankly, they may not care.
Github/codeberg are both git, so its pretty irrevelant which one you link to. They just host the git repos, which give no shits about what web platform they live on.
- Comment on Restroom Location 3 weeks ago:
A lot of these stories are about, 2 or 3 streets, generally some dense blocks in the core of downtown that either have homeless services nearby or are tourist areas where you can panhandle succesfully.
No city has hundreds of streets and thousands of blocks just full of human shit. It happens in high traffic/high visibiilty areas due to poverty, the lack of accesable public bathrooms and drug use in the US, and even then, is minimal. Social media and right wing hysteria pump up minimal issues into quipy mania.

Another example : roddenbury wanted the 1st officer to be a woman on TOS, and shot the pilot with her in the role. The studio shot it down.

The charector arcs in the show are complex, especially for the early 90s. Sisko is largely an honorable man, but the nature of the roles he assumes strain him, force him in difficult directions.
The marquies in a lot of ways are personal to him. A dear friend defects to them early, and then he gets rolled later by others he trusts. He basically has direct bad blood with them.
Some of the other choices he makes? Fucked up, but to the shows credit, they lean into it and dont pretend hes the good guy when they happen.

The “win” was to become the first god king in his next actual game, which let players compete/pay in a shared world for nobility/etc.
That game was never released, and they entirely ignored the “cube” game winner for years.

A few weeks ago, his wife made some unprompted comments about him being a “sexual matador” in an interview. Concurrently, there are rumours that he’s been literally cuckcolded by Elon musk in a consensual context.
So these memes are just riffing off these two pieces of news.

- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 2 months ago:
The bigger, bigger context of the quote is that this game was initially supposed to be released in 2014, and now 2026 is looking unlikely.
And yes, im just talking about squadron 42, the spinoff fps of the even later game that is even farther from release, Star citizen.

The meme is referring to this murder of an 11 year old who just rang a doorbell and ran. The murderer was lying in wait in his yard with a gun, and shot the kid as he ran out of the yard.
The kid ran for another block or so with his friend and then died.
