It’s good to have definitive data but it is also tempting to say “no shit”.

I hate to ruin everybody’s fun, but seeing an edit of this image presented in the context of jokey fun is disrespectful to what it actually represents. The original depicts segregation, with “heathen” instead being “white” and “christians” instead being a racial slur for Japanese people.

I would have been fine with an edit of the image if it simply swapped the words around, meaning it was still about anti-Asian segregation in the US, but this completely erases that original meaning.

With the vague rules, I think you can have that bypass language barriers.

Started up Dead Cells again. Gotten to the Throne Room on a few runs, haven’t beat the Hand of the King yet.

That’s what did it? Not the Nazi shit?

Everything? Perfect Blue? Paprika? Angel’s Egg? Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space? Anne of Green Gables? Moomin? Belladonna of Sadness?

I’d be genuinely surprised if the answer was yes, as all of those wildly depart from the tropes people have in mind when anime is brought up.

where could one acquire such an apple, hypothetically?

I should finish that game.

It might be somewhere in Mecca, but the fasting on the month of Dhu’l-Hijja probably makes that unlikely. A more likely option is somewhere on Heathrow Airport.

I’m sorry to tell you the list was compiled by u/WEELOO77 on r/trainsimworld. My knowledge of trains is that they exist.

I feel like The Conqueror (1956) is infamous for being a movie where Wayne does not play a character like himself.

Headline is somewhat misleading, article is based off an admission from a Ukrainian military officer about a test that happened two years ago.

It depends.

• Sometimes it’s because of structural Anglocentrism making it harder to get an acting role with a foreign-sounding last name (e.g. “Ramon Antonio Gerard Estevez” becomes “Martin Sheen” or “Ilyena Lydia Vadilievna Mironov” becomes “[Dame] Helen Mirren”)

• Sometimes it’s just a matter of cropping a name or two (“Philip Anthony Hopkins”)

• Sometimes it’s just about sounding cooler (“Eric Bishop” becomes “Jamie Foxx” or “Caryn Elaine Johnson” becomes “Whoopi Goldberg”)

• And sometimes it’s because there’s already a SAG member with your name (“Diane Hall” becomes “Diane Keaton” or “Michael Douglas” becomes… “Michael Keaton”)

The Wordle devs didn’t actually do anything (probably), the accusation is just an extremely exaggerated way to express discontent at the choice of word.
