@bridge_too_close Sorry to accidentally report your post, i misssclicked.

“Ship” is polysemic an is also a synonym of “boat”, i wanted to avoid some puns.

-The save points just before a cutscene, so if you die, you are forced to watch the said cutscene again and again.

-When characters are discussing, they say what the player is supposed to do. Dude, i’m the one who’s supposed to do so, not the guy you’re talking with.

In Vatican, there are 2,28 popes per square kilometer.

Considering its youngness, i wouldn’t consider its non-aging as “surprising”.

I can understand that people doesn’t like the character (honestly, i think he is a bit irritating), the problem is that too many people are treating Star Wars as a religion, and a simply annoying character as a blasphemy.

Can’t agree more. I’ll never understand such people.

1. Ellie’s sacrifice was necessary to eradicate the disease that turned people into zombies. Moreover, the latter was very angry with Joel for having “saved” her from this fate.

2. Many people were dead because Ellie did not want to mourn the death of joel, so they were actually dead for nothing.

In this case, the character was actually made to be hated, so it’s off topic for the current thread.

I had the same reaction when i found out.

Agree, the job is pretty merciless. People hate you whatever you do and even the most unsignificant of your mistake is used against you. If you became politician by idealism, you discover rapidly that persons involved makes you actually powerless: rival politicians, highly influencial ploutocrats, the supreme court (or equivalent), etc.

I have this impression with the US president. Despite the prestige of his position, he is actually highly powerless: most of the domains are in the hands of state governors, and if the supreme court, the senate and the house are not in his camp, he can barely do anything. It can be hard if you are really willing to apply what you promised but not being able to do so.

Herd mentality

Any normal human being can be a bloodthirsty beast when he’s a part of a group. The group effect demultiplicate the violence of their members and can lead them to acts that they would never do when isolated. Really terrifying mechanism.

Amber Heard. The hate she received during the trial Heard vs Depp was highly disproportionate. Usually, when someone is -really or allegedly- cancelled, many people lose their shit, but strangely, when she was cancelled for real, not so much people complained, while Depp was unfairly victimized. She was clearly a scapegoat for misogynistic low instincts.

The backfire effect. This is when someone see irrefutable proofs that he’s wrong, he believes more than ever that he’s right.

When i was a child, i thought that high voltage lines were for little people travelling in cable cars.

Nobody. No matter who the president is, they never hold their promises and the real leaders are the oligarchies that pays both democrats and republicans. So no matters who becomes president, it’s never a win for the citizens.

Juste some ideas that crossed my mind, maybe all at once is too expensive for one billion.

2. Shop only ethical products.
3. Support lot of projects that are close to my heart.
4. Corrupt politicians to incite them to make ethical choices.
5. Buy shady companies and let them sink.
