I have no body pillows and the only anime I ever liked was dbz. I’ve been playing wow since 06
When I was, a young boy, my father, took me into the city, to see a marching band he said son when you grow up, would you be the savior of the boken the beaten and the damned. He said will you defeat them, your demons and all the non believers,the plans they have made, because one day I’ll leave you a phantom to lead you in the summer to join the black parade
Thrall.

I disagree. There is still plenty of death and destruction in the game offset by the occasional light or silly moments, just like it’s been since vanilla.
The people pushing the “WoW is soft or disney” narrative are trying to bring their culture war nonsense to the game and it’s just boring and trite. They will pick apart and over analyze every little thing blizzard does in game and out just to point and say, “look, the woke agenda!” and other dumb stuff like that.

Bro.
I have to listen to guys, getting all emotional and talk about their feelings while doing campaign quests. Is this World of Warcraft or World of Emocraft?
Am I doing quests or listening to therapy sessions?

The final fight of garrosh and thrall is a whole therapy session of them talking about their feelings while punching each other and no one complained about it.
So are you saying the only valid feelings and emotions are anger and the only valid way of expressing them is through violence?

But the things you feel are being shoved…
That’s what really? A side quest here and there that acts exactly like a non “activist” npc?

This made me laugh and cry at the same time.
There were a lot of people complaining and many view Hellscream as acting like a leader of a thing called THE HORDE.
What a myopic point of view

Problem with those metrics is that in many countries when kids are in about the 8th grade they get tested and if they are not good enough they get pushed off into trade jobs or labor jobs. Only the best students go through and actually get tested.
In the US everyone gets pushed through high school and gets tested so the overall grades seem lower.
Also if you look at parts of our country, kids in blue states get higher grades in most standardized tests than kids in red states. Same goes for the number of people with advanced degrees.
So if we filtered the way other countries do we would be near the head of the pack and possibly number one.
One thing I’ve always wondered is why there is so little interest in the trades in the US. Sure those jobs can be dirty and not as “cool” as others but it’s good money and often secure jobs. High demand for people as well. No shame in working the trades.

It’s a relatively new metric, devised by Kai Chan. ICI, intelligence capital index is supposedly supposed to be an indicator of a country’s ability to develop inovvative new technologies. I was atleast trying to give us a silver star.
A good 10-20 year period where the measure of success was in getting into a good school and going into a big business with an office or something. In my area Government positions counted as well.
To help this, they implied that trade skills or laborers were of lesser intelligence and lower paying. Id say it got particularly bad in the 90s when i was growing up, likely because of the Dot Com boom.

Those trade jobs are what paid my way through engineering school. They aren’t second class jobs. They are as important as medical doctors, lawyers, and ofcourse lobbyists.
As SHOULD be the case.
Irrelevant. Both red and blue are at fault here. One pushes big business, the other is only worried about whats in our trousers and what bathroom we use. Education should be void of political affiliation.
This IS NOT metric of intelligence. Congrats we dpent 4 years going through a program, that for the most part, if you show up, you get the grade. Lets not kid ourselves. As far as masters, and phd, neither translate to tangible skill in industry. Save, say medical doctors and surgeons.

Without going so far as to delve into politics, the other is just as worried about trousers and restrooms, but for reasons that have time and again trended towards marginalization and hate.

I’m genuinely curious which color you think worries most about what is in people’s trousers.
You’re right, but will you have the colors inverted?

I think you hit this better than I did.
I never said they were second class jobs. What I’m saying is that comparing US test scores to test scores of other countries makes no sense because the people being tested in each country are not the same.

That makes no sense. Of course they are different people. Thats the point of the evaluation…
