As an old friend of mine once said "If he killed em the writers would have to invent new enemies continuously. With that excuse they can put them in the Asylum and reuse them for new stories whenever they want."
I don't have problems with VR. I sold my Quest 2 cos there are not games like Alyx, which I enjoyed a lot, and that's a pity. I see it going the way of 3D.
Again, ridiculous. Their habitat even one hundred years ago was not being secluded in a house. Before you accuse me of using the appeal to tradition think of what your life would be if you were constricted inside four walls for life. That's cruel. We tried two months during lockdown and it was terrible. And it wasn't an appeal to nature but describing their character or the things they like to do: they obviously like and crave sex, they like to explore and they even like to hunt because they're predators. That's not an appeal to nature but describing the animal. If their usefulness inside human society is over stop buying them. And don't even try to tell me they are useful as pets. They're living beings, not stuffed plushies.
They like sex and exploration for sure. Fighting gives em a chance to prove their status as is natural and it's exercise. And they can eat mice and birds and lizards whenever they want.
Mussolini's nationalism led to movie dubbing. Still to this day we dub everything (tv series, documentaries, you name it). Since TV was and still is via steaming the main spreader of language, you can understand why we didn't learn English the way other countries did.
Sounds like something the Joker might say.
