Ultimately, these sorts of crimes are incredibly common for occupying armies. Culture impacts the way these crimes are handled -- are they punished, ignored, covered up, or tacitly (or even explicitly) encouraged? But the common element is soldiers, and the way that war leads to the dehumanization of the enemy, not that some cultures breed uniquely evil people.

Yes -- America (original by Simon and Garfunkel)

Anthony Vincent -- Chop Suey in the style of Ghost (original by System of a Down)

Dr Pez & Marc Papeghin -- The soundtrack of Ocarina of Time, but its a prog rock concept album (not sure it technically counts as a cover)

Brass Against -- The Pot (Original by Tool)

The Jimi Hendrix Experience -- All Along the Watchtower (Original by Bob Dylan)

Also, not sure how widely known this is, but Arethra Franklin's Respect is itself a cover (and certainly one of the best covers of all time, up there with All Along the Watchtower and Johnny Cash's rendition of Hurt)

Putting all the various "gaming" communities on kbin and Lemmy together on one page is a nice QOL feature but I'm not sure it's a good idea to present them to users as all the same thing. Gaming@kbin and gaming@lemmy and gaming@beehaw are different groups with different rules managed by different people and if users don't know that it's going to cause confusion in the long run

They also don't have sex in that play. It's a romance, not erotica

Honestly I think the choice to, in order to be more like Reddit, have subreddit equivalents tied to specific instances is in tension with federation. Trying to give each instance it's own host of micro communities instead of having each instance being a community that engages with other instances on cross-platform threads is going to give us headaches. Eventually someone is going to ask for individual magazines to federated.

That's not too say there aren't problems with that approach; in particular, moderation becomes more complicated. But just that we're trying to fit a square peg in a... squircular hole.

Ah established Reddit account with real comments and lots of karma is less likely to be identified as a bot or sockpuppet, which is useful for people who want to run those accounts

honestly i think having been in on the ground floor makes things easier. its way easier to learn the changes to mechanics you already understand than it is to learn mechanics that were designed to be, in almost all cases for Stellaris, more complicated than the original, already complicated mechanics.

I'm curious, what would a federated IMDB add to the experience for you?
