I usually rely on my present self for judging me for what I'm currently talking about. It is called multitasking.

Anyone have the sort of mindset where you’ll be talking about something and at the same time, a part of you is thinking about how your future self will judge you for how you delivered it in the moment
It wasn't just used on the vehicles that you could see in grainy war footage. It has been widely used in both pro and anti russian demonstrations for the last 3 years as a symbol for the war. How about instead of instantly assuming that someone you disagree with is inherently wrong about everything and trying to clown on them you look it up?
At worst this is just an example of the "oh, you think posting about milk is racist" 
shit. It isn't really a subtle symbol at all, it is at about the same level as using watermelons for Palestine.

The reason that China wouldn’t make it to America is because there are no passage winds like there are over the Atlantic and the entire trade system was built around the monsoon system in the Indian Ocean (so the ships were built for that rather than passage winds like European ones).
Polynesians did manage to get across to the Americas, but there is far less pressure to find trade routes when you are at the center of a seaborne trade system that spans from East Africa to Oceania. Getting direct access to that market is the major reason for Europeans creating ocean faring vessels. And China did try establishing more direct control, (Zheng He and his expeditions for example) but it was simply not profitable.
What is it with this game and characters being surprised by someone not being a complete sadist. Like, Shadowheart does this too if you open her pod on the squid ship "It would have been easy for you to just walk past..." In what universe does the average person find it easy to leave someone to die? The Forgotten Realms apparently.
The vast majority of Underdark denizens are bastards and Shadowheart is from an ontologically evil cult. Neither are filled with average people.
Hideo Kojima says most Death Stranding playtesters told him 'it was a terrible game,' and he's a little bummed Death Stranding 2 is testing way better
The likely explanation is that the playtesters are now used to Death Stranding mechanics since Death Stranding already exists. I remember there being a lot of people who thought Demons Souls and Dark Souls 1 were bad because they weren't used to the mechanics, and now Elden Ring has sold over 30 million copies to almost universal acclaim.
Just realised that the great peasants revolt will be in the EUV timeline. Hopefully they'll allow you to go
mode.
