Posted in: 'Bad buzz': How video games learnt to embrace diversity See in context
I think the media largely misunderstood what players actually think and want. "Give us a playable female character" has nothing to do with diversity or representation, but we just find it funny to play as a female character. If these journalists actually bother to do research, then they will know a lot of players likes to choose to play as hot female characters in games because it's funny. And trust me, some of the weird things they do, it' probably not what the media had in mind for adding a playable female character.

NUG aren't the ones doing the fighting. Instead they are living abroad on other countries dime. As if they could ever be given power even if the different group of rebels manage to overthrow the current government. If they care so much, they should return and fight for their countries like the other rebel groups.

Some of the comments have zero sympathy.
First off, who would run away from their beloved home country to escape media coverage? Run to live somewhere else? People speak as if it's that easy to abandon everything you know.
And obvious he had to announce the divorce so the media would stop bugging her and her family. Is possible she and her family is suffering huge mental stress from the whole thing and he wanted her to be happy and not suffer in such a marriage. Just wish them both well.

Posted in: Hamas frees two Israeli women as U.S. advises delaying ground war to allow talks on captives See in context
Don't. Only reason why they are now being so obedient to release hostages is to buy themselves time.
Keep it up and leave zero ground for them to fall back to. If there is any moment where it is the time to wipe Hamas once and for all, then it's now. Just keep the pressure on,otherwise you will still be stuck with this threat for the next few decades. Negotiations has always led to give the enemy time to breath and gather it's strength.

If you act like wild animals, then expect to be permanent put down like one. No amount of justification is enough for what they did to those at the festival. They want a war, then they got one.

This is what happen when you make truce and allow your enemy to bid their time. They will just regroup, become stronger, gather intel and hit you when you the least expect it to happen.
This time Israel better finish the job and no more compromises. It was a freaking stupid idea of Israel to withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Abandoning the territory came back to bite them hard till this day. This only bolster the enemies ego and look what happen now.

Posted in: Ohtani homers in last home game before trade deadline as Angels beat Pirates 7-5 See in context
@Yubaru,
Do not trade him. Let him finish the season with his teammates. They have been together for 6years. Is obvious allowing him to finish the season is the right proper farewell than actually trading him like some kind of disposable product. Whether they win or lose, at least they still gave it their all.
Trading him now would be completely disastrous when the team need him the most. Especially considering so many of the team members are on the injured list. Ohtani would not want to just abandon them like this and be force to be traded.
Think about the whole mess too with his interpreter Ippei not able to accompany him while he had to rush to move in with a whole new team and adjust in the middle of the season. The whole player rooster of his new team would also have to be completely modify to suit his 2 way play.

They actually walked him 4 times instead of pitching against him. Yankees seems afraid Ohtani get more home runs. This is pretty sly because they can protect Judge home run record this way if Ohtani can't hit home runs in matches.

Shame the Angels team has so many injuries. Mike Trout out of the game is truly a huge blow to the team morals. So many members are on the injury list and won't be back until aug. Even Othani finger is still injured and preventing him from properly pitching.

They are our neighbor while US is half a world away. Is obvious we want a peaceful and trading relation with NK if it is possible. There is really no need for hostility and these constant launches of missiles if we just stop bothering how they run the country. It ain't our business anyway.
We tried the West way for more than 7 decades. Didn't do much except raising the tension. Maybe is time we just try something else.
