Isn't the whole game alternate history? Why do you have such a big problem with this? (16)

Because I'm sick of people like Krayt and Gamingcirclejerk acting like every criticism of a black character is automatically racist. Most people are not these vapid cartoon characters who go "MOST UNORTHODOX!!!!!" every time a black character is on screen. (-4)

Assassin's Creed was always historical fantasy to begin with, who fricking cares if it's not 100% realistic? It never has been.That's why it feels like the people losing their minds over Yasuke might have ulterior motives. (5)

Why is Krayt so obsessed with politics? This has nothing to do with Star Wars (0)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

That's because you're not focusing on the actually important complaints. The devs have said over and over that they would not have a historical figure as a main character out of respect. It is not a coincidence that the character to buck this trend is the one black man on the entire archipelago. (10)

I'll agree that Yasuke being a main playable character strikes me as pandering, but he's also a very interesting historical character to base your narrative around and it allows the player to play as a stranger in a strange land, and it's ultimately not doing any harm to any groups, so why is everyone so mad about seeing a minority lead character in a AAA game. There's a lot of other games about white characters in out of place lands that no one has cried out over, so why is there so much butthurt when it's a black guy in a foreign land? I'm not saying explicitly that y'all are racist, but it's mighty suspicious that mfers are so mad (3)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Good lord. You people need to get over yourselves and get some therapy. Yasuke existed, he was a black samurai, AC wants to make a story about him. Another thing, AC is "alternate" history, with fricking time travel, a magic apple, and George Washington being a tyrannical dictator for fricks sake. Stop being so butthurt about a non-white person being a protagonist.If you don't like it, don't play it. So tired of all this stupid petty bullshit from you people. Just shut up, no one wants to hear your idiocy (2)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡🔘

Get. The frick. Over it.You've got a Japanese protagonist in the game. Play her. Were you this pissed off about William in Nioh? Or any of the horseshit in resident evil? (1)

Both terrible counter examples, lolEdit: I saw your reply, and then you deleted it.William Adam's (Niohs protag) by EVERY historical account was an official samurai with 20+ years in Japan. He died and was buried in Japan. Yasuke does not have even a tenth of the documentation Adam's has about him. Also, Adam lived there for 7 times the duration Yasuke did.Resident Evil? I do not understand your point. Do you mean the Spanish Village in 4 or Africa in 5? Because with both examples, you mainly play as someone who has literally no connection to the area. No one is claiming Leon is a Spanish warrior or Chris an African one. In the case of 5, you can play as a local in Sheva.Both of these titles are goofy butt games with monsters in them, not historically adjacent epics, lol.Lots of this outrage is cry baby nonsense, but these counter examples are bad.

At 0:48 I feel like that guy with curly hair whipped out a gun super fast and it kinda looks like a gun in his hand also the motion he makes

Edit: and its the same guy shooting at the end of the video. streamer says its fireworks but thats not true lol

You are correct. The first shots sounded so far, I have no idea what he is shooting at, there must be dozens of people between them.

If you see any other video of shootouts like these you see mfs just start blind shooting in a general direction Frick whatever is southwest of me

Bro, what is going on with America

A shooting at a prom is already insane, but then the next guy next to the camera pulls out another gun that he just CASUALLY takes to prom... What the heck! If you are caught with a knife here you are basically already done for

what kid of prom is outside in what looks like a massive parking lot? such a strange situation, hopefully no one got hurt.

Absolutely crazy how in one single clip you can see underage drinking, nicotine vapes, and literal teenagers with straps and switches. At least the silver lining is that Dabo and his gf are in a safe location, but it's safe to say that white shirt kid has no future prospects after this ends up in the news… !boozers misia

From a little dive i just did on his channel that girl is some girl with 1M ig followers who flew in for his prom

who is this kid, he's a 2k andy, he must be big on tiktok

edit: she's friends with ice spice tf

edit2: she's a minor

edit3: drake's dad follows her

Lmao Drakes Dad following a minor is right on brand.

It's wild how these kids got guns, that kid just straight up pulls out a gun and peepees it.

Now Some drama

Schools and public places will always be open pvp until politicians stop valuing lobbyists' money over innocent lives getting caught up in these shootings. Hope they're okay.

in the US* I went to school in the UK and fricking south africa and never once felt like my life was in danger. (

Most American school students never experience or feel their life is in danger due to a gun or shooter at school. Try again. (-10 already)

I wouldn't call it far fetched to say that the vast majority have definitely been paranoid about it at least once though. It's quite a significant issue, especially when you compare the rate at which it happens in the states versus any other developed nation in the world.

It is far-fetched because the majority haven't felt their life in school was in danger due to gun violence. Ghetto schools aren't the majority, yet. Its really not that significant or prevalent of an issue it only seems like it is because of media. Like Covid for example. Blown out of proportion. Also no shit America has more guns than most any other country in the world. We already know this.

It's disingenuous to say that it's not significant or a prevalent issue when the US ranks higher than any other high income country when it comes to gun violence, 3x more than the next closest country https://www.healthdata.org/news-events/insights-blog/acting-data/gun-violence-united-states-outlier . When you're such an outlier on such a preventable cause of death; yes, the media is bound to report on little kids being murdered; which yes, will cause student populations to at times feel uneasy about their safety in a school environment. It's such a significant issue in fact, that gun violence is the leading cause of death for American children and teens: https://everytownresearch.org/graph/firearms-are-the-leading-cause-of-death-for-american-children-and-teens/ .

!chuds this will clearly help pass the anti-gun laws. good lucK!!

Any body of academic thought whose paradigmatic communication medium is video rather than text is prima facie suspect. Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?

-

I think it's pretty elitist to judge the quality of a content via whether it's in a book/journal or not. In fact, the recent wave of scientific fraud discovery shows that one can hide data manipulation pretty effectively in an academic journal. I'd much rather scientists spend their time making eli5 videos.

-

Just curious, why do you write like that? Reminds when I was 11 and wanted to sound smarter on the internet.

-

My reply is an attempt to address the original comment with precision. To diagram its intended meaning:

alternative theories of consciousness

"Any body of academic thought" [I accede the scientific legitimacy of the domain of discourse, rather than dismissing it.]

know where to go to find well-argued positions on the topic.

"whose paradigmatic communication medium" [This is the beginning of my challenge to the Original Commenter, by granting the information provided authoritative status, which they perhaps cannot fully defend.]

On YouTube you can find plenty of discussions

"is video rather than text"

it's particularly important to explore these discussions as dispassionately as possible if you regard materialism as the only theory of mind that has any scientific credibility or validity.

"is prima facie suspect" [The Original Commenter has asserted that discourse and engagement are important, yet provided only time consuming, low signal-to-noise sources of information.]

As Christopher Hitchens reminds us in his legendary oration on John Stuart Mill and free speech [2]

"Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?" [The only written citations are 1) generic and 2) ancillary to the core topic. I invite the Original Commenter to further his argument more substantively, without demanding exhaustive citations.]

-

OK, let me rewrite it:

Any body of academic thought whose paradigmatic communication medium is video rather than text is prima facie suspect. Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?

Academic content is usually in text, not video. Do you have links to written work from them?

Shorter and the exact same meaning. Also doesn't sound like you've been perusing your thesaurus all day.

-

No, the second approach's meaning is more obtuse. What does "usually" mean? Are there acceptable alternatives? If content is in an alternative mode of communication, is it acceptable?

These vagaries permitted in your revision are clear and inherent in the original commenter's motion. Therefore, I submit your adjudication of "shorter and the exact same meaning" is woefully superficial in it's drive for simplicity, to the point there is no thought left that is clear in the original garden. Further, exact and technical communication is what separates Hacker News commenting from the hordes of subreddits that thrive on imprecise babble.

-

At minimum, this does not capture that I _am_ challenging the Original Commenter ("prima facie suspect") to more rigorously defend his position, but doing so respectfully. "One salient" written source is a carefully chosen framing: the OC cannot meet it by replying with support peripheral or meta to the main argument, but neither can he dismiss my request as burdensome, demanding multiple links.

The proposed revision suffers from its terseness, losing both nuance and completeness.

-

Communication is about being understood. Not about crafting the perfect sentence. Even if you craft the perfect sentence, that will be the perfect sentence _for you_, and it might be completely lost on many people, some perhaps even more intelligent than you.

The subtext of "Academic content is usually in text, not video" is "I don't trust this because it's in video, not text". Now if you say that is not clear, sure, but the subtext of your comment is "I opened a thesaurus and tried to seem smart", which is why this conversation derailed here. You can't ignore the subtext to craft a mathematically perfect sentence..

-

Communication is about being understood.

The subtext of "Academic content is usually in text, not video" is "I don't trust this because it's in video, not text". Now if you say that is not clear, sure

Indeed, relying on the implicit when the explicit is sufficient [0] does a disservice to one's readers, in whose ability and charity to comprehend my surface text, without presuming confounding subtextual meaning, I have every confidence.

[0] It is not always; some things can only be gestured at, not grasped.

-

I hope some day you realize how cringe your comments are.

There's more in there... !clinklickers but I got sick of trying to copy the formatting right because the HNewses also love their >

nahhhhhhhhh blud is really on /r/drama instead of rDrama 💀

Link to video -

Link to sub for the sub for the star wards hotel - reddit.com/r/GalacticStarcruiser

You don't need to watch the video - just know that she fricking hated the hotel and found it was not worth 6000 dollars, according to summaries I read.

The funniest part is the Disney adults in the sub who are coping hard. I don't need to link to anything because it's literally all over the front page. This is amplified by the base level of cope for the hotel closing.

It cost 6000 dollars for two nights in a shitty hotel with no windows and cruise ship size rooms btw

Wally is a famous "emotional support alligator" owned by Joie Henney, A Pennsylvania man who made the news when he and his pet were denied entrance to watch the Philadelphia Phillies take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in Major League Baseball in September 2023. He was also used as a visual reference for the alligator in the tv series Loki,

From the post on /r/marvelstudios.

>Hi everyone! I hope this post is allowed, I apologize if not - we are just desperate for help!!!

As a lot of you may know, the visual reference for Alligator Loki was Wally The Emotional Support Alligator! He is a very beloved companion to his owner, and has had a tremendous impact on the lives of so many!!

Unfortunately, Wally was kidnapped from his enclosure while on vacation with his person in Georgia. It is believed that an individual broke into his enclosure, kidnapped Wally, and placed him on another persons front yard. That person then called to report an alligator and a tracker was dispatched to remove it. The tracker stated he released Wally into a swamp with over 20 other alligators and said there was “little to no hope of finding Wally”. This is devastating and obviously extremely worrisome as Wally is domesticated and often enjoys Cheetos as part of his meals.

The tracker has been reluctant to provide additional information and seemingly has changed their story a few times. This is all really devastating for his owner and lifelong companion, Joie. It also is certainly traumatizing for Wally, who is now has had everything he's ever known ripped away from him. Both Wally and Joie deserve to be reunited!!!

I am posting here in hopes of bringing more attention to Wally's plight. The hope is that Wally's story will gain traction and put pressure on this involved to come forward and tell the truth!!!

For more information, please check out Wally's Facebook page or his TikTok account!!! There have been some outlets covering the story, but nothing that has driven the perpetrator, tracker, or Georgia DNR to be responsive or helpful in this dire search. If you are willing, please take a moment to spread the word or head over to Wally's Facebook page to help get involved! Thank you so much!!!!

According to this comment, Wally is Dead and the culprit is most likely the tracker himself.
