There's an entire chapter on slobodan milosevic. He was a socialist. If the book was called "dictator" or "tyrant" or "bad people" this would make more sense...

And yes, I know there are similarities between totalitarian governments, but still... stay on topic.

Yes. "The tiffany problem" is the name of that weird non-anachronism.

Part of it is the problem of the content creation cycle. The pressure to hit a topic while it is hot, trying to make yourself an expert in days, weeks, or months when the process can take years.
I wish we had a culture of friendly counter argument/correction. Not sure the egos could take it. 2/2

Is this related to the tiffany problem?

I still miss that asus c201. Everything about it was budget. But I was able to get Doom to run on it and it played netflix and youtube.
Those two things got me through my first few years as a traveling trial attorney.

I'm also here for random sports takes, in addition to your YouTube videos of all stripes.

Andor is a showcase of what your fantasy game could be. Compelling, with intrigue and action, but not needing EVERYONE to be some wizard. That wasn't the idea in old school dnd, or the fiction it was based on.
Of course, you can still do your superhero melodrama, but that's not the only way 3/3

Because when I talk about dnd, people keep responding, we'll, there's magic so why are there...(example) people?
Or if i talk about religion: "well, but people know the gods are objectively real."
Yeah... like everyone in the galaxy knows that jedi use laser swords and have telekinesis? 2/3

I got almost twice as many new subs from "you're watching video essays wrong" vs the dungeon video even though the dungeon video has almost twice as many more views.
Its a lot about expectations.

by the way, "the statement above" is referencing The NYT statement. just so we're clear.

see 18 U.S. Code § 201 (c)(B), which does not have the "quid pro quo" requirement. It is still corruption. I love arguing semantics as much as the next person, but if you are going to do it, do it leaning towards justice. Don't use it as a shield for the corrupt.

what is somewhat infuriating, as an attorney, to the statement above is that while you there is some truth to it, that doesn't preclude the fact it is a crime. The direct "quid pro quo" is a requirement of "bribery" as a crime 18 U.S. Code § 201 (b)(2), but that isn't the only crime.

But i do have a lot of thoughts about Andor and the portrayal of how rebellions operate, possibly as a pseudosequel to my video on rebellions/revolutions.
i love each storyline, and all the characters. it's just a well done show that is right up my alley. Star Wars and political science.

It is wild to me that you have to pay extra for less features. And i get why. I have worked in supply chain. Economies of scale, global labor, etc.
and thankfully my day job allows me to occasionally splurge on these items, but I'm incredibly lucky and privileged.

I am hopeful. And some of that i because of Fr. James. (perhaps i'm partial because of my time at a jesuit seminary). even with my separation from the church, i always try to hold on to hope.

Sadly, Leo XIV is very much rooted in traditionalism when it comes to doctrinal items like the ordination of women and the lgbt community. However, much like Francis, he does seem to want the church to lean into support of the poor and migrants, though how they work to that effect is unknown.

i believe he is referencing having more participation in the church and unity among members, not the specific organization called the Synodal Way. it is a continuation of Francis's Synod of Bishops that ended last year. For reference that Synod didn't do anything for women deacons or lgbt outreach
