Jesus Christ hated rich people; his whole mantra was about sharing and helping the poor. In fact, the church used to help the sick and the poor at first.

Honestly it's time christians actually started following the teachings of christ again.

It's the NES version, all speedruns are made on that version.

I recommend reading this section of the "Spanish colonization of the Americas" Wikipedia article, which has plenty of sources. Obviously they weren't saints, but, at the time, they were "the dawn of human rights" (cited in the article) and took Christian values very seriously, which is also why they converted all the population forcefully. There's no denying that, but, as a silver lining, education and religion were almost one and the same, and they did build many universities, schools, etc.

When I visited the United States, they always tried to paint it as "they were all equally bad" when it came to colonizers in the museums I went to. However, I feel like that is because the "situation" with natives was way worse in North America than it was in South America.

In the Spanish empire IIRC they were all given citicenship, so yes it could have been handled better, even in that era. In fact, the latino ethnicity is the result of the mix between the natives and the colonizers, which happened because they were integrated.

Thanks for your positivity bro, don't see that often around here

You ate the onion

You don't see it?

Portuguese and Italians can understand Spaniards if both sides make an effort. Source: am Spanish, been there, done that.

French people wouldn't so much as try even if they could actually understand.

Had me in the first half

Father and mother are probably the two worst examples. Mother is "mamá" in Spanish, and "mama" in Japanese, not because they're related, but because babies make that sound a lot.

That said, I agree with you completely. It's just that that specific example bugged me.

I have so many "tumblr thoughts" throughout the day but since I haven't got an account there I can't post them anywhere else, they wouldn't be accepted unless they were a screencap.

I don't know about you specifically, but I think the problem might be that it's too meta. It subverts your expectations really hard but, of course, it will fail if you don't have any.

I really like this guy's videos so I'll take the opportunity to link him. TLDW: it knows it's a game and that fucks with our brains' way of experiencing fiction.

I want to say overregularization.

Have you checked if they have that stuff on archive.org? I'm sure plenty of people would appreciate them.

Be sure to check out the README if you're having problems with certain plugins (Kontakt for instance).

Apparently they installed a system-wide VPN without asking
