@DANCAMPBELLSZN @tessdots Nah. If it had been legit criticism, sure, but "You need to be more like Nazi fuckstick Stonetoss" deserved no civility.

@HariSel57511397 Well, yes. Part of the point of AM is that its circumstances were horrible. It doesn't excuse anything it did, of course, but that doesn't mean that you can't sympathize with the position it started in. Lots of villains are sympathetic, while being irredeemable.

@Halalcoholism Compare it to hockey, a game that Americans have more interest in. While we have a lot of professional hockey teams, the top players on those teams are all from other countries.

[NecronomRetcon @jryanbeattie]

@Halalcoholism I'm skeptical that we'd produce professional-level soccer players even if it were the only sport we played, but we certainly aren't when anyone who might have been interested is funneled into other sports instead.

@tunechistark A lot of people in this thread don't get the difference between villain and antagonist.

@saldyflower The whole joke these yutzes miss about the Tau is that in nearly any other sci-fi universe, they'd be the laughably evil bad guys. It's only because they're in the 40K universe that come across as even morally gray.

@mags_h11 My roommate wrote Ed's Head, and he's highly amused at this turn of events. Also a little alarmed.

@gallafreyh @BerIn_Diaz He's responding to another dude who was saying that they killed Homelander in a humiliating way for being white, and that they would never do something like that to a black guy. The dude you're replying to is saying that neither was about race.

[NecronomRetcon @jryanbeattie]

@chickknnnuggett @BerIn_Diaz Because another guy was saying the show was racist against white people for killing Homelander in a humiliating way, and would never do the same to a black character.

@shihab_moe86 @realEdwardG @rawsalerts No, not quite. They use the one marked Arabic-Indic (which they call Indian Numerals in Arabic). The one you're talking about is a modified version used in Persian languages like Farsi and Dari, Urdu, and other languages in the region like Pashto.

[NecronomRetcon @jryanbeattie]

@lilmoetuff @realEdwardG @rawsalerts Fun fact: In Arabic, the ones on the right are called Indian numerals, since that's where they got them from.

[NecronomRetcon @jryanbeattie]

@MoomanofINJ2 @realEdwardG @rawsalerts He's not, actually. He never said it. This was a joke someone made up. You took the bait.

[NecronomRetcon @jryanbeattie]

@TheDeep_State6 @realEdwardG @rawsalerts In ultimate origin, but that's like saying we're writing with the Phoenician alphabet. The case could be made, but it's still needlessly pedantic.

@LoganDobson @TheStalwart It's important to remember that the AI doesn't actually know things. It just generates a statistical model of what a person might answer a given question. And a person is likely to answer, "That would be a ton of work to answer, so I'm not going to do it."

@Squirrelmob75 @adamtotscomix Let me help you out.

[NecronomRetcon @jryanbeattie]

@StrawLocks @SatiiX Don't forget the diamond core for the stick.

@strangetransgal @adamtotscomix The historical Pocahontas was probably around 16 or 17 when she was taken hostage, and 17 or 18 when she was married to John Rolfe. The movie portrayed her as an adult to make the story seem less gross.

@For_Macragge Ultramarines are nice... to loyal Imperium subjects. Which still puts them a step above most other Space Marines. Calgar has also executed surrendering enemies (and the fact that he spared the children in that case was considered unusually merciful).

@Darren_Mooney When I saw Captain Marvel, I thought it was really clever that they were going to subvert the evil skrulls plot for the MCU. And then they went and did it anyway.
