Yeah, this is actually a potentially positive change, teenager's bodies gently caress their sleep schedules the gently caress up, leading to them needing more sleep and likely not being able to get to sleep until later in the night. And piling on stuff like extracurriculars and extensive homework because 'what else are they doing' doesn't exactly help matters either. There have been efforts to start school an hour or so later that actually work out really well. I just checked, apparently Seattle did that last year. And I'm pretty sure it doesn't cut anyone's employment hours any, but I can't find anything to confirm or deny that.

Sure, but why should kids these days have it better when I didn't? Why shouldn't they suffer in the same way I did? Why should things improve somewhat?

Bread tube or whatever has the problem that when you create content that revolves around a single person a personality cult is going to form. Not even like on purpose it’s just how things go. Add to the fact people are naturally going to be defensive of people they view as friends and it kind of was always going to end this way

Those hours are baked into basically every supporting area of the system, so to make that happen you have to get extracurriculars, school buses (or other kinds of public transport) or any other directly related workers to shift accordingly, and you need them all to make that change pretty much seamlessly. And that's to say nothing about everyone else in the city, because parents and the businesses they work at aren't used to that change in the schedule either.

Paradox Interactive was asked by a games journalist (uh oh) if they would use the phrase "deus vult" in their upcoming medieval title Crusader Kinds 3 now that the word has become associated with far-right hate crimes, and they said "no." Cue millions of gamers crying out in terror and being suddenly silenced by the SJW agenda. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/deus-vult-a-megathread-read-op-before-posting.1261285/ The whole thread is rich mine of terrible idiots but this one stands out for being so blatant quote:Are the forums always this..."organized"? Only official threads about controversy allowed? I've only used them for gameplay research until now. This just solidifies my resolve not to buy from these Swedes anymore after seeing their consistent participation in "pride." I honestly can't tell if those asterisks are about queer folks or "globalists." Props to this gamer tho for having the guts to flat out say "no actually I just think conservative religious extremism is straight-up a good thing" quote:Yeah I'm done with Paradox after this. I've loved your games since I first discovered EU3 and I've spent thousands of dollars on your games since but Deus Vult is not racist in any way and to pander to the censorious pearl clutchers at the expense of your own fanbase and integrity shows the same kind of moral character that has Blizzard and the NBA bending over for a communist dictatorship halfway around the world.

The asterisked-out word is "globohomo" which is ostensibly a derisive term for a society they see as increasingly globalized and homogeneous, but is curiously only used by obvious homophobes.

But I'm sure I'm reading too much into how some people choose to play this entirely historical and apolitical game. people who play paradox games are extremely adjacent to far right wing politics because of the subject matter of paradox games. i know this because i have spent thousands of hours of playing paradox games and simply because of the topics they cover, they are some of the best games to demonstrate the banality of evil. in ck2 you often end up murdering children for entirely pragmatic reasons, not because you are an evil gently caress, but just because you have great incentive to do so. stellaris allows for the genocide of trillions of sentient beings. it's just the nature of map games and some folks get real into that when it comes to the more historically grounded games like vicky 2 or hoi4 Elblanco posted:I've never played a crusader kings game, what the gently caress is the point of this interview question? Is "deus vult" like the most important phrase in those games? it is a decently astute question. crusader kings, as you may assume, features the crusades somewhat heavily. this means conflicts between christians vs. muslims (mostly) in a battle for the holy land. deus vult is a phrase that was used in these historic conflicts. but christian crusader iconography, including the phrase deus vult, is now being used as a coded symbol for alt right white supremacists and other various internet racists since paradox games often deal with highly sensitive historical topics, they have to tread careful ground about what is depicted in games. in their ww2 series, hearts of iron, you can play as hitler and nazi germany, but there are no swastikas. you can take decisions to purge the USSR military, but no holodomor or holocaust. the developers don't want to touch on war crimes or genocide, and they should not - the game is a war game, not a political genocide what-if simulator if deus vult and crusader symbolism has become politicized, then the responsible thing is for paradox devs to be aware of this and remove it. i think that there's some question about if they will do this or not. but the reason why the alt right is getting mad is because one of their sneaky racist symbols is being identified and called out as racist, and they're hiding behind "it's historical! erasure!" to excuse why they and their politics are unpopular today, in the present for what it's worth, crusader kings 2 has portraits of all the hundreds of thousands of characters in the game. the game can start as early as the year 769, in the reign of charlemagne. great dynasties and historical figures who predate this start date are hard coded into the game. think all the popes, ancestral kings, etc. this includes all of the family of the prophet mohammed, and if you go all the way back in the dynastic tree to find mohammed himself - he is the only character in the game depicted with a textual symbol rather than a portrait, out of cultural sensitivity for the taboo against direct depictions of the prophet in islamic art. so the devs are well aware of potential scandal within their games Mr. Fall Down Terror has a new favorite as of 14:41 on Oct 22, 2019 |

It's also the buttload of research we now have showing that kids and teens not being good in the AM isn't just them being 'babies', it's actually a biological phenomenon. A teenager's biological clock shifts so they go to bed later, but at the same time, they need closer to 9-10 hrs of sleep on average. Falling into 8/7 hrs or less is an adult sleeping schedule. they literally need more sleep, and it's not an issue of 'sleep hygiene' where we need to train them how to handle mornings by force. they're still in one of the most intense growing and developmental stages of their lives! Of course that requires tons of energy! imagine being so broke-brained you think the biological stages of life are something one can beat by trying to force 'good habits' on someone at a point they literally can't and shouldn't be functioning in that way the reason most people get 'good' with mornings and can wake up easier by adulthood isn't by force of habit, it's that your internal clocks shifts and since you're not growing anymore you don't need as much sleep StrangersInTheNight has a new favorite as of 16:46 on Oct 22, 2019 |
