Yet I see more Templar crosses there than in all of Europe

The “God hates ****” crowd gets into heaven after they die from having too much gay sex, and we’re OK with that?

They were European, do not confuse them with American nutjobs.

All you need is to be besties with the USA

It's very complicated because Turkey are the invaders, but they invaded in response to an illegal Coup orchestrated by Greece, so, even if I'm partial to Greece because it's the more "normal" country I don't see a fair solution for the issue.

100% agree, but what should be done would be to green light projects by writers of other races based on different cultures and folklores diversifying the pop culture space (for lack of a better term).

What is done instead is treating minorities as a checklist that needs to be checked in every piece of art even when it doesn't make sense for them to be in that story.

The Witcher isn’t in Medieval Poland though, it’s in a fantasy land.

So by that logic it's fine to make Wakanda full of white people because it's fantasy land right?

I think we are allowed to say that the address he uses for collecting check donations goes to a house with a pool and two cars and an RV parked around it.

Edit: And 9 American flags just in the front of the house, WTF

I only care when it's stupid, like Medieval Poland being full of black people, not even modern day Poland has that many black people.

You can call me racist if you want but casting a black guy to play the president of the USA in like 1910 would be as stupid as casting a white guy to play Nebuchadnezzar.

I’m having a hard time seeing any bill get passed that supports the rights of users to watch videos without the ads that support the creators and the platform that they’re watching.

We should reach a compromise of having skippable ads in the beginning only, for example. In other pages it could be that ads cannot be bigger than 10% of the content being delivered on the page.

It's not always all or nothing, good regulation listens to both sides and reaches a compromise in the middle, but good regulation is getting harder and harder to come by.

The fact that they want to buy an old nuclear reactor instead of building a new one should be all you need to know to realise that it's not financially viable.
