The plot that kicks off Battlestar Galactica (2004) happens because pretty much everything uses wireless communications, including most systems within the space ships

Hey, at least it was just the magazine. Now, if there were condoms and phallic shaped veggies being bought alongside...

They're also equally dense

If I'd had the chance to speak with them, I would have told them the truth [about inter-Korean history] and warned them that they could eventually face punishment from the North Korean regime, simply because they had already experienced life in the South" says Mr Lee

Given the rest of the article, it seems that the current SK president is trying to play nice with NK and isn't exposing these drifters to historical facts. I still doubt they and their families will have a good time back home.

Animaniacs is great, but as a kid I loved Tiny Toons (they also had better videogames) ^(Also,^ ^til^ ^there's^ ^Tiny^ ^Toons^ ^Looniversity,^ ^gonna^ ^give^ ^it^ ^a^ ^watch)^. I rewatched some episodes during the pandemic and, to me, they mostly held up well (then current references notwithstanding). It was also fun, to me, to finally compare the Brazilian dub to the original voices, and I think our VAs did a great job overall (personally, I think Babs' Brazilian VA was better than the original, and the original was already one of the best of the show), but some of the characters' name changes weren't really necessary: Elmyra became Felicia, Montana Max became Valentino

As an older person with nephews, I really understand why everyone loves Bluey, because it looks fun for kids and also gives hints and lessons to parents. I personally love how most of the imagination games don't use the common cartoon trick of visually showing what is being imagined by the characters: one notable example (don't know the episode) being of Bluey sitting on a treestump and using a twig as the control stick for her "helicopter", with other kids coming and going with different scenarios for play

Brazil recently had an "experience" in getting more lax with gun restrictions. While people were mostly in favor of that before it came into effect, ~4 years later more people were against letting any idiot have a gun.

For every "CAC^[Caçador, Atirador, Colecionador (hunters, sport shooters, collectors) the term used in Brazil to denote civilians that can legally buy guns] kills a robber" there are dozens of "CAC kills family/wife/police/random person". Not only that, with how lax the law got, said CACs also became a bridge to sell or loan guns to criminals, which would usually have to buy them off corrupt police or army. Overall, people feel less safe, because now any argument with a rando can end up with you being shot, even if you're not even involved and just happened to be nearby

One thing to keep in mind is that most police forces exist to protect wealth. If you have wealth, you'll be protected. If you don't, you're a target. Does the police need guns? Not always. Not every criminal is armed and not every armed criminal can only be taken on by "a good guy with a gun"

You cant both abolish the police and then also disarm the citizens, gotta pick one.

You can, but you also need to reorganize a lot of how society works, especially in regards to wealth distribution.

 

Double edged sword, since it's good that we can actually remember said experiences and maybe pass the wisdom down.

 

23 games + 1 DLC^[I nearly bought Blades of Time Limited edition, then I saw that I already had the base game in my library. It's one of the things that pisses me off with GOG, it won't say you own the game if you have the base/deluxe/platinum/definitive/whatever edition but are looking at a different version, and will gladly let you buy it again] for R$180 (~32 USD)

I know some of those aren't exactly bangers, or might just barely be considered good, but I ~~won't even play them all anyway^[I really need to get my shit together and start playing instead of just buying]~~ enjoy looking at subpar games from time to time

I've been thinking about some games that can be done in order to get people drawing, mostly as a means to give some variation to kids I've been teaching.

So far, I've found/thought about the following:

  1. I go through body parts, one at a time, like "torso". Everyone draws it. Once done, they pass the paper to another person, then I state another body part, rinse and repeat until it's fully done
  2. One person has to describe a thing or creature without naming it, everyone else has to draw according to what's being described
  3. Give them 3 lists, one of "who", one of "where" and one of "doing", where they pick one option from each and have to draw it, so others have to figure what it is. For instance, "(Who) Medic / (Where) Space / (Doing) Playing games with friends"

What else would you suggest?
