Third generation citizens are not immigrants. They are native citizens.

Well… the “Pixar-like characters with stiff expressions” seems to be a stylistic decision, not a technical blunder.

Not photorealistic, realistic. So normal proportions, faces, textures etc.

Like I’d argue Golden Eye is a game with a realistic art style. It is as realistic as the technology allowed at the time. But it clearly tries to emulate the real world, and not a fantastical cartoony world or a woodcarved illustration, or anime etc etc.

The comment from the ME guy is probably in response to Dragon Age Veilguard being much more cartoony than Inquisition. Characters have huge heads, textures are flat and stylised etc.

I think he means as a style, they aim for a “realistic” style. Not that they will sacrifice anything for “graphical fidelity” or smth

Honestly, “capital flight” is great. Cause the truth about it is the money leaves, but all the actually productive capital stays. The buildings, the land, the machinery, the infrastructure etc etc. Everything the owning class privately owned, stays. They can’t take a hospital, or a naval yard, or a factory, with them when they go 😂

And when was a requirement for communism?

A stateless, classless, moneyless society. How can a class own something then?

Absolute nonsense.

Communism is from each according to their ability, to each according to their want.

And it’s a centuries long process.

Let me help you out:

There are NO sound arguments for racism, fascism etc.

None.

There is no point in listening to racists and fascists.

Ever.

I mean there were actually two “intelligence” explosions for humans, once as Homo Erectus like 2 million years ago. Then again as Homo Heidelbergensis ~ 700,000 years ago. So way before dogs.

As in we have evidence of H. Erectus with brains as big or even bigger than ours. And by the time of H. Heidelbergensis our brains stabilised around the size they are today.

Dogs 100% were selectively bred to be permanently juvenile as well.

Dogs have extreme neonatal characteristics. They are basically forever-wolf-puppies.

Their heads are rounder, eyes bigger, proportions more exaggerated, more playful etc. etc.

And we actually know the main brain difference between wolves and dogs is that dogs don’t mature basically ever neurologically.

Wolves are in basically every way smarter than dogs.

We dumbed down wolves and made them babies forever.

Our biggest rivals for millennia.

We are… fucked up.

Anyways love puppies ❤️

I love the fact it’s in the middle of India, almost the furthest it could be from the ocean.

Kinda terrible examples tho…

Sure “Hitler lost”. Cause he killed himself and stuff. But the Nazis won. The US saved most officers and gave them jobs in NATO and the nascent west German government. Then used them to hunt and undermine communists all over the world. The Nazis themselves kinda won. The Cold War was basically a Nazi war, which they won.

The south “lost”. But after they lost the US became the most racially segregated country in the world and became the chief inspiration to the Nazis.

Then the US literally bombed Japan TWICE for no fucking reason other than spooking Stalin.

You have 3 wrong examples, that actually show we are living in the timeline where the Empire won.
