May I direct you to this video?

Ukraine has been an enthusiastic adopter of Starlink after Elon Musk responded to Russia’s invasion by shipping antennas valued at over $80 million to the country

For some reason, I’m reminded of the Trojan Horse.

Proper form is essential to running. There are so many people jogging out there with bad form and little do they know it does them more harm than good.

I personally think it isn’t wise to use an actor of any race in substitute of another, if that character’s race is part of the story. The only reason I could think of to change the character’s race, gender, status, etc. would perhaps be to tell a different story, but then it should be renamed and be a different story. But if a character’s race, gender, status, etc. is tied to that character’s story, then it shouldn’t be discarded frivolously.

From what I see, I feel that a lot of the disconnect is based on whether people find an attribute (in this case, race) important or not as part of the character’s story.

Yes, and I loved that they wrote the black samurai character into that game to tell that story! I don’t get your point?

But magic doesn’t have any grounding or association with the world as we know it. Neither does aliens. We can only use the world as we know it as a frame of reference for a story.

I’d argue in lbaudia’s example that it is confusing if in 12th century Mongolia, there was some Nordic guy walking around, I’d imagine there to be a backstory of some kind. If there wasn’t, then that would definitely be an example where I’d be annoyed at white people in fiction.

I thought a great example of casting was the TV show “The Expanse”. To be able to cast someone as specific as Bobbie Draper so well - these studios have no excuse to whitewash as they do except laziness.

100 brands? One hundred ??

The Sphinx would be proud.

Exactly what this reminded me of. Thanks.

It took me way too long to see that. Thank you 🙏

What on earth is happening with the leg(?) ??

Kaiba agrees

Why am I being downvoted for stating something and providing a link to back up what I wrote? It’s not like I posted a bad link. In the previous link, it described how pre-pasteurized milk is categorically different from raw milk intended for direct human consumption. I think it’s interesting to note how preparation for pasteurization can affect the product.

Also this link shows that there are indeed many nutritional benefits not available from pasteurized milk.

Raw milk that is carefully and intentionally produced for direct human consumption is a low-risk food with superb nutritional benefits.

I just realized you meant data deduplication instead of “not duped by you bitches anymore”

Looks like something out of Reign of Fire
