  • That's probably true.

    But you have to spend at least a little time with someone to judge their behavior.

    The problem is that people are pre-judged based on their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or lack thereof, nation of origin, first language, and a boatload of other things purely based on these factors without any personal contact or observation of their behavior.

    Hence the word prejudice.

    Likewise, people take the misbehavior of one or a small group and and apply it to everyone with the same characteristic.

    Hence prejudice and stereotyping.

  • Quality of life for the capitalist eastern seaboard. I believe that's what you meant to say.

  • Anybody who uses democracy in the same sentence as China is a plant.

  • Kbin.social and mastodon.social

    Spend most of my time on Mastodon.

  • She deserves a shot at the White House. I'm not interested in arguments about how she needs more experience or other reasons to put it it off. Obviously not to compete with Biden. But she is my post Biden top choice.

  • In the US, we colloquially 'go to college'. College refers to higher education in general.

    Then, in more academic terms, A university is a larger place of higher ed made up of schools and colleges. You also have liberal arts colleges that do not have these colleges/schools. We also have two-year community colleges that may be more similar to vocational schools or FE colleges in the UK.

    Then we get to the level of fun: Boston College is actually a university. :-)

    Source: I lived overseas and told people I attended College, which caused them to cross-examine me about whether I have a 4-year degree because in their country people go to university/uni and college is something else. Different places, different terminology.

  • Guild Wars 1

    Having a character of one main class and a secondary class that could be switched at any time between any of the 9 classes.

    8-slot skillbar with one heroic skill that could only come from your main class.

    400+ total skills in the game.

    Plenty of room for you to make your own homebrew builds, and some classic builds that were outside the box:

    The assassin that used a staff (assacaster), the ranger that used necro skills to touch people to death (touch ranger), and the 55 monk, which had almost no hp but so much healing it was hard to kill.

    It will always be my MMORPG because of the character design.

  • Telltale Games Walking Dead. Not a game, but a whole series.

  • The Chinese Civil War ended without Mao being able to capture Taiwan, where the KMT moved its Republic. No secession necessary. It was part of the ROC before the war and never part of the CCP.

    Put your propagandized version on the bookshelf next to the story about your tanks running over your own youth to preserve your authoritarian system.

    And you talking about indigenous people while you try to eradicate the Uyghurs in Xinjiang is another book on that shelf.

  • Are we already forgetting what happened 3 years ago?

    STATES and the CDC called lockdowns while the president told people it would just pass, it could be cured with sunlight, to drink bleach, and take horse dewormer.

    Trump did NOT take covid seriously.

    How many of the million people that died were due to him playing make believe is hard to measure, but he killed people by telling them bullshit.

  • Taking covid seriously was not going to save the economy. It would've saved lives, but the economic impact of covid was a global one.

  • Presidents do not control the economy. Obama wished people understood that.

    The economy is in covid recovery, and Biden isn't a corrupt fascist running the government like it's his personal toy.

    I'll give him that.

    For all we know, Mr. Yale is just happy that people are paying their student loans again.

  • OK, getting back to the original post and its image, what the hell is Sync? How is Sync Pro different?

  • n fact they could have talked transparently about their opex and asked for a simple donation drive every now and then like Wikipedia.

    Let's remember this about Kbin and the Fediverse.

    I would donate to help counterbalance the wave of migration that brought me here.
