Tragicznie to świadczy o weryfikacji osób zgłaszanych na listy. Poglądy tej kobiety nie są przecież niespodzianką. Ile jeszcze takich będzie do wyborów?

Nie można też pominąć tego, że nakaz aresztowania Putina przez MTK wynika z tego, że wprost przyznaje się do popełnionych czynów, o które jest oskarżany, tj. porwania dzieci, będące też uznanym w prawie międzynarodowym sposobem ludobójstwa.

Other than shilling for genocidal regimes I've seen them brigade such posts after they refederated recently. This kind of behavior is unacceptable in my book regardless of what ideology you subscribe to.

I'm not judging someone who read the entire series or those who did it multiple times. People are free to enjoy what they want. Regardless of that, doing 8 months multiplied by even 2-3 times is a considerable chunk of a human lifespan. It explains takes like "I don't like the adaptation because it made too many changes" and it needs to be put into perspective. I've elaborated more on this in my other comment.

"This series is 1:1 replica of a book" and "this series is only taking a passing inspiration from original books" are merely facts and a starting point to set expectations before moving on to describe and judge an adaptation. It's okay to judge by comparing original to adaptation but "this is not a faithful adaptation, therefore it is bad" does not help in evaluating quality of derived work.

You've read 14 book series multiple times? That's enormous investment that's probably setting unrealistic expectations.

I've only started the first one to die out of boredom quickly so I can't imagine repeatedly getting through a slog first few books supposedly are. My girlfriend read everything after the first season and once she was finished she did a re-watch which she enjoyed, in part because it's different. Second season has higher production value but seems to be confusing with the amount of changes so far. I'm following along because the themes are interesting and there's nothing so bad that would discourage me.

Even without reading everything it's fair to assume that this couldn't be a faithful adaptation. They'll likely have to merge more story lines, characters, then remove some things entirely and it'll still be a challenge to fit this into amount of seasons that's reasonable to produce. The Expanse did plenty of that but it still had roughly a season per book, and that was with a book series that Bezos personally enjoys.

No idea, I tried out Bean while it was in open test flight and was confused when the app dev went ahead with advertising this feature once it went paid. It's definitely a standout among other Lemmy clients but unfortunately it's half baked. I remained subscribed to this community to keep an eye out for when it is properly implemented.

Zważywszy na to, że elektorat PiSu to w znaczącej mierze osoby starsze, mamy świetny przykład tego jak bardzo są oderwanym i samolubnym pokoleniem. 12% uważające problem mieszkalnictwa za istotny to generacyjny skandal.

Ci bliżej wieku emerytalnego lub na emeryturze chcieliby też, żeby młodzi utrzymywali ich najszybciej, mając w dupie to, że ich dzieci będą pracować do śmierci. Przynajmniej mała część jest świadoma tego, że część będzie bardziej zajęta nie ugotowaniem się za sprawą zmian klimatu.

How about banning public book burning in general? Not a lot of good memories related to that.

Want to keep burning books? Have waste collection services provide a pickup point. Then they can do it in some industrial incinerator so you'll have your book burned but without providing media with an easy outrage (unless you wanted outrage?).

Book burning seems to be a tool of right wing extremism, even when it's used against right wing extremists of some other kind, there's very little benefit to the society.

Also obligatory, fuck organized religion.

9/6 is the PS5 date. Still no word from Larian on the Mac date - the last I heard was when they originally announced it would be delayed, and that they didn't want to give a date and not meet it.

I just checked Wikipedia which I think I got it from and it states 9/6 but the link cited as source doesn't state it anywhere.

grumble

I was similarly disappointed but IIRC it was delayed to September 6th.

I wonder how will it run in Act 3 since DX11 is so much more performant than Vulkan and I assume they use either MoltenVK or straight Metal. It's likely the reason for the delay.
