I don’t think this is accurate at all. Japan was 100% defeated militarily. They may have been able to kill a lot more people before the end, but there was zero doubt as to the outcome. The remaining Japanese military was a shell of its former self. Any punch they had left was just the sheer number of civilians they were going to enlist in suicidal last-stands. Plus the entire country was being starved out. They were no less defeated than the Nazis, and if japan wasn’t an island it probably would have happened much sooner.

I’ve been translating lots of interviews of Ukrainian athletes. Yes, they are not trained in Ukraine. 1) you think they can be calm like nothing had happened? 2) let’s ignore the long-term consequences like rebuilding facilities which will take time - until the war ends and then until the funds come and restoration completes. So what, train in Europe for how long? 5 years? 10 years? All of those are short term contracts. Very stable environment. This btw also affects Ukrainian athletes as some of them think with despair of new generation of athletes that couldn’t receive the training. That’s directly the words of biathlon athlete. How would you do the training for teens, get a team? It’s not like the regular ā€œgo to this street 5 times a weekā€ it’s ā€œget on the bus, drive 24 hours, live there for half a yearā€. Add to this how many Ukrainian athletes have died in the war and what trauma it gets to the people performing at Olympics. And facing the citizens of a country whose fault it is, who don’t even feel the consequences on them - they can train as usual. And all of these thoughts get into your head while training for something big…

This isn’t about everyone else. It’s about russia, about facing consequences and about trauma. I think - and this is a completely Ukrainian pov - that this ā€œsports transcends politicsā€ situation is heiwa boke or being ignorant. You simply putting more trauma to traumatised people.

Ok imagine there’s a school shooting, and you have to go to other school because yours is damaged, and face the person who killed your classmates and everyone tells you that school must transcend your pain, anger and missing the pre-tragedy times. Besides, the shooter might do or say something provocative again - and you’re supposed to do nothing.

Slave labor is still quite common and encouraged by the "freemarket" and that's just the tip of the shitburg that is made of unfettered capitalism atrocities. Let's not forget child labor, union busting murder, Burnie madolf, and so on.

Markets need to be well regulated to balance the needs of the many against the greed of a few.

Posting about plotholes and clearly having no fucking clue what a plothole is.

Not understanding something about a movie that was so blatantly stated it makes you wonder if they had the sound on during viewing.

Posting an incredibly well-known movie with the question 'thoughts?' like they've discovered some hidden indie masterpiece.

Deliver Us The Moon.

I'm not saying it's an amazing 10/10 hidden gem or anything but I really enjoyed it and it's not the type of game I'd usually go for. I think a lot more people would enjoy it too if they even knew what it was.

I still need to play the sequel tbh.
