Germany says will intervene at The Hague on Israel’s behalf, blasts genocide charge
  • Given the country's past, they're now so incredibly averse to anything that could even be vaguely construed as criticism of jewish identity and sovereignty (by the Israeli government) that they will bend over backwards to defend all sorts of nonsense.

  • As a Canadian? Yep
  • As a Brit, the analogy I've always enjoyed is that living in Canada vs the USA is like owning a nice apartment above a crack den. Although, I can't speak to the validity of said statement.

  • I may have been playing a bit too much Resurgence lately.
  • I enjoyed my time with resurgence. I can't see non-trekkies enjoying it because TBH, the controls, combat, and mini-games are all frustratingly awful. However, the story, characters, and choices were all great! I was slightly disappointed overall though. I was hoping it would be unequivocally great and demonstrate a market for more Trek games, but it's clearly lacking in some areas and didn't have much impact upon release.

  • Games that force you to make hard choices
  • Yeah, tanking a district makes that area harder and doesnt feel great; however, if you don't kill any of them, the combat is really hard because you're under levelled. So you have to make moral judgements and choose who is "best" to kill.

  • I quite like that her romance story is an inversion of the typical typical Mass Effect, sex is the prize, type story. She'll jump you with little effort. you get closer and she wants to fight you, but the real pay off is when she let's her guard down and allows herself to be tender and be loved. It's quite lovely.

  • Short Saturday mushroom hunt. England, UK

    Sadly, there are only a few small areas of ancient forest left in my area, but they are so diverse and abundant. They're always a treat to explore.

    Ochre brittlegill (Russula ochroleuca), stump puffballs (Lycoperdon / Apioperdon pyriforme), amethyst deceiver (Laccaria amethystina), Common puffballs (Lycoperdon perlatum), clouded agaric (Clitocybe nebularis), and what I believe to be red cracking bolete (Boletus / Xerocomellus chrysenteron) which are very abundant here. I did find some more wood mushrooms (Agaricus sylvicola) and green cracked brittlegills (Russula virescens), but I didn't take a picture for some reason.

    How did The Lord of the Rings become a secret weapon in Italy’s culture wars? | Jamie Mackay
  • There are definite themes of 'old' or 'ancient bloodlines' making better or stronger men and elves, as arda generally declines in many ways. Look at Númenor and its genetic legacy. It's a short leap for fascists and racists towards blood and racial purity nonsense, and the decline of, or assault on, so called 'Western civilisation' from the 'hordes' of eaterlings and haradrim. It's a narrow minded and surface level view of the literature, but morons aren't exactly known for their media literacy.

  • How about consolidating some of the vegan communities? You concentrate the user base (which hopefully means more consistent content and less repetition) and get more mods in one place. I know other communities have done this successfully, but it's dependent on mods agreeing, so maybe not that easy.

    This was back in early spring. This chonky Queen was looking for a nest in all the crevices at the base of a tree

    Small agaric haul. England, UK

    Agaricus arvensis or campestris. I can never tell horse and field mushrooms apart, but no yellow staining and a pleasant mushroom and mild anise smell. I found several rings. Unfortunately, the maggots beat me to most of them. Also found a fair few meadow puffballs (Lycoperdon pratense) that had unfortunately just started to spore, and some parrot waxcaps (Gliophorus psittacinus) which, whilst edible, are far too small and slimy to bother with.

    I did also find either a rather beautiful pure bright white amanita. Either a Destroying angel (Amanita virosa) or white dapperling (Leucoagaricus leucothites), im not knowledgeable enough to tell. Whilst fun to find, it's definitely not one I brought home.
