Ill say whatever the fuck pleases me

I mean, they did that for Lenin out of respect

Can hardly humanize something and show respect while showcasing them in a glass box.

They need a good wuppin...

In Turkey it's ATARI instead. Every game console was called ATARI for a long time.

Seriously? I’d have thought, at least nowadays when B-movies are a thing of the past, that most kids WOULD hear about mummies in the context of Ancient Egypt. Bloody American neurotypical men and their refusal to pick up an encyclopaedia, amirite?

Instead, they are starting to adopt terms such as "mummified person"

Here's the thing: "mummy" and "mummified person" aren't the same. There are a number of natural processes that can cause a human body to mummify, whereas "mummies" refer to corpses purposely preserved by the Egyptians' process of mummification.

What if we are all living out our lives as inputs to some hyper being's Nintendo Switch?

Oh well that was partly because the N64 didn't exactly have the widest range. I think the catalogue was literally one tenth of what was released on ps1. The PAL region was a bit more limited as well. Also for some reason Starfox 64 was called Lylat Wars.

But that's okay, we got Golden Eye.

surely the baseline level of respect for a corpse is not parade them around on display in a museum

Ah crap, my bad. No I definitely have a PAL N64, it must have been ordering from Europe. I was a kid, I just remember it was coming from very far away and taking absolutely FOREVER to arrive.

For whatever reason, all of the local stores near me stocked an extremely limited range of N64 games.

These days it is unwashed dreads and oversized hoodie.

The whole point of making yourself into a mummy was that you became a statue. Statues were revered as they could hold the souls of the dead. For it then to be forgotten/ignored that there is a person inside there is actually exactly what they wanted when they chose to be mummified.

So this PC change is against the wishes of the deceased and very un-PC indeed.

Da. We have good process, spasiba. Not to worry.

Then you’d probably get me too’ed by your own coach lol

oh ok, if it applies to junior athletes or under age ones that get groomed then I totally agree, it should be like with teachers and students.

but don’t players selected their coaches? It’s not the same power dynamic really

My local history museum has entirely removed all mummified Egyptian remains from their showcases.

I understand the reasoning behind all of this, but I don't think going as far as removing historical remains, which serve an educational purpose, is the correct path.

I've never in my adult life really thought of mummified remains as a "mummy". I believe trying to drop a media elected term for something more accurate is a good step in an educational direction.

?? I'm also from NZ and grew up with an N64. You could buy N64 games locally for sure, though they were way more expensive than playstation ones. But our N64s were PAL and not compatible with American NTSC cartridges.

My guess is that you probably got a NTSC N64 somehow, and so you HAD to then import them from the US.

I love that the Tenth references that line in a season 4 episode.

The good news is that moderator team probably has a procedure for handling classified documents being posted to the forum.

They've been stolen them from their tombs, their countries, and propped up for display for crowds to gawd at, but you had best not dehumanize them any further in front of us staff, it makes us feel bad about how we had one job?

to be honest, it's a not so far fetched to call a play station a playstation ;)

The knighthood puts him above suspicion.
