What's really spectacular is that they allow learners to use this beautiful engine starting at the low low price of $0. Imagining a game like GOW or Horizon Zero Dawn on PS5 with Unreal makes me want to throw my entire bank at the creators.

Rather than thinking about whether they were slaves, indentured servants, or mercenaries, I wonder what the inside of a Poke' ball looked like. Is it decorated? Is it cramped? Does it defy the law of physics and look like a mansion?

Oof, it seems to be similar to what happened with Game of Thrones. Everything started off splendid and then devolved into something barely recognizable to long-time fans. Everything just went to Hades, from the leaks to employees claiming that they didn't receive their pay to employees complaining about the infamous crunch time/overwork and not being treated fairly.

This happens more than we would like. I don't think people care as much about the sexualization of minors as much as they claim to...which is why so many questionable things are given a pass, in society. Even after research reveals that issue not only leads to mental health issues but also contributes to sexual crimes and trafficking, society keeps making excuses for pushing minors and sex every chance that they get.

Previous push-back towards police brutality worked for brown people because something else took the place and protected lives, pushed for social reform, and provided for the needs of the community: Black Panthers. Previous push-back against white on black brutality worked for brown people because something was put into place to protect vulnerable brown individuals when they had to venture into white only neighborhoods: street gangs. Previous push-back against in-group violence worked because there was a clear leading voice, with a clear goal and enough people to ensure that voice and goal became a reality: community leaders. This mess had nothing of the sort, they just created a void and didn't fill it with anything else so naturally, chaos filled it. It turned into a ridiculous social experiment that cost lives. Sometimes, I feel like if people had been listening to actual history and the words of their ancestors instead Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat "historians" that have bastardized tf out of our struggle and propagated a lot of false information-more would have realized that the movement was getting hijacked once the rioting started. They would have seen the clear differences between the effective movements past vs. the present and they would have worked harder to ensure that things stayed on track. The individuals who want actual change have been petitioning for fair treatment forever. They've presented evidence about bias in the systems of: (1) justice (e.g. more hardcore drugs are sold by whites but their black counterparts are targeted more and when they're arrested, the statistics are used to prove how dangerous brown people are); (2) education (e.g. minority school are so underfunded that they can't even afford textbooks and when they fail school, the statistics are used to prove how dumb brown people are); (3) medicine (e.g. brown people somehow end up with lower quality care and exacerbated health problems linked to other areas of inequality); (4) housing (e.g. real estate agents have admitted to "steering" people to certain neighborhoods based on the color of their skin and issues with mortgage and loans abound), and the list goes on. They have highlighted numerous points of concern and possible solutions to these concerns but that's not what you hear in the news, that's not what you learn in education, that's not what is presented on sites. So now, all of the actual points for change are being overruled by things like "de-fund police" and the media constantly fanning the flames. So much protesting...but I'm scared that when the world was still watching, organizations that focused on equality for brown people were not heard, facts were not presented, research wasn't shown...and so people are still unaware of what systematic racism even means or how it possibly exists in a world where it seems like everyone is doing as bad as the next person. Unfortunately, this zone was just another notch on the belt for a successful hijack.

This is an old game of who can do and say the most useless things in the name of "helping" brown people. Meanwhile, things that people have been asking for for 400+ years continues to be ignored or danced around or pushed under the rug. seriously. We'll laugh about it but it's getting played out, really tiring that the issues keep being mocked by useless changes and talks

Always love the way they look, in every M/V, and this one is no exception. Lisa carried this m/v for me-I could have watched a whole video of just her vibing because the song was......... literally........like we were waiting for the actual song to start frfr

People say that BP's music, videos, and choreo are all too similar to each other but idaf they can drop 20 versions of the same music video and I'd watch every single one of them, BIH!

It's been a couple of weeks and people are mad at protestors still protesting because it's "hurting the economy". Okay. Fair enough. But then the same people turn around and tell brown individuals who are mad at 400+ years of violence being committed against them to, "get over it". So a couple weeks of people in the streets really burns your buttons but centuries of torment is nothing to complain about? 400+ years of propaganda that has contributed to how the entire world now views brown people. 400+ years of lies that have endangered people who don't even live in the US. Getting spit on or called a thug in a country that has .01% of an African/ African American population doesn't happen because racism is isolated to the US. The US spread it's racism worldwide and almost every single bloody country believed the tripe and that's why this concern is worldwide. That's why people are paying attention because they can cite instances of racism against black people that happen in their own country. The US is ethnocentric, no doubt about it, but this issue isn't part of it. It's been a worldwide concern from the moment that the West started erasing and altering the history of brown people that archaeologists are just now rediscovering. It's been a worldwide problem since scientists and professors who believed in the eugenics movement and wanted to genocide blacks starting writing history books, publishing articles for museums, and traveling all over the world to teach people things like "those ancient art pieces from successful civilizations that had Afrocentric features weren't really images of blacks, they were images of fat babies". And those teachings still stand to this day. Brown people getting kicked out of apartments, half black celebrities being told that they need bleach, young blacks being beaten to death or found with an axe in the head, all of this in 2000s and not even in North America. Bias against brown people is unavoidable for them, there's no hiding skin color or pretending to be someone else long enough for someone to get to know you so that they don't shoot or hurt you on sight/refuse to give you a job/follow you in a store or street/call the police/de-fund your schools/give you medicine with the worst side-effects/give you products with lower quality ingredients that are dangerous to your health/refuse you a home/hurt your children/arrest you/demonize you/etc. This issue has resulted in their deaths for centuries, from Russia to The Netherlands, but people still write it off with the good ol', "but the world has bigger problems than racism, 'Murica! This had nothing to do with us".

True. Too bad it's also proved to be incredibly useful. But most things are like that, aren't they? In that, if used too much or inappropriately, it can also be dangerous. When in the hands of the wrong people, anything-from food to medicine- can be harmful.

Dang, bruv. Why she gotta be a bitch-why is that word always the go to for every female (young and old) now. I mean teenagers are teenagers, no matter where you go. We sniffed glue, they licked Tide Pods, and future teens will probably be injecting themselves with disinfectants or some ish. Lol, what do you want from them? It's the adults who constantly regurgitate their media/social media education that concern me.

photoshoot NU'EST REN for Vogue Korea July 2020
delirium replied to neozone's topic in Celebrity Photos & Videos
why does he look younger than he did at debut? he is a whole middle school student, rn. -
They are just as excited as 2nd gen was when it first happened. I mean, we got a whole American movie debut with Rain. My people still enjoy that movie and they know nothing about K-pop. 3rd gens deserves to experience the joy of delulu just like we did-it will help take them through the inevitable bs that comes every other month in Kpop.

Influencers are now receiving death threats for looking like Kpop idols.
delirium replied to Thatoneuser's topic in Random
Not only is this horrendous behavior but in the age of increase technology use, it's a horrible idea. There have been quite a few morons who ended up fking with the wrong ones and had their IP's and addresses pinged before because they decided to do things like this-that promise of anonymity will only go so far in this day and age. It only takes one person with the right knowledge to scan thousands of computers at once and find vulnerable ports in these people's systems. it's all fun and games until your death threats get you tracked and really threatened. -

Gen Z it's the generation with less sense of humor ever
delirium replied to RiseLikeACrowTit's topic in Random
welp, I came in here ready to prove you wrong with Instagram posts galore but then people in the thread proving your point. damnit! -
I mean...can I be honest. I have yet to see BP look raggedy in any way, shape or form since their debut. I'm talking fan cams, airport shots, random video pauses when they're eating (I don't do that, js)-not a single bad look. Seems like they're eating life bc err'day is a good BP day.

Dutch PM now thinks differently about blackface Zwarte Piet
delirium replied to leqant's topic in Current News & Events
So, I wonder if the institutionalized racism cited as occurring in the Netherlands was birthed from their own history or was it simply an export from North American media? Bc our media is so pervasive that it has definitely influenced the world and their unconscious interactions with African Americans-to the point that other countries where their history didn't involve brown slaves somehow know what racial slurs to call brown people....even though those slurs were birthed from slavery and there's no way they could know them unless they learned them from Westerners/ Western media.- 4 replies
