  • British English has a lot more variance than Yankspeak.

    We’re more likely to use “help V+ing” than “help INF”. An average larger vocabulary, atop different usages. Even with US dominated media eroding our dialects faster than ever there’s still a lot of difference out there.

    I will need a more specific question to give more response. Are you a non-native English speaker living in the UK?


  • But Purges are a right wing phenomena to attack society, they’d never be able to off a millionaire.
    A day or two before Musky gets on his private jet and flies off to a third country, or a private island or somewhere while right wing hate groups kill off minorities, leftists, and political critics.


  • We acknowledge that the game is a work of fiction. Historical fiction, but fiction none-the-less.

    If every fifth character is also black, I think there is a point that can be made about verisimilitude and taking liberties; but since we know he really existed and that there has been debate on what he did, having a work of fiction that portrays him as a samurai under Nobunga doesn’t seem unreasonable.

    To compare, we know that Leonardo Di Vinci didn’t hand out guns to people or build functional flying machines - but we know he designed all sorts of stuff ahead of its time, so it kinda fits in a fictional story with him in.

    But only one of those seems to draw huge amounts of complaints online… And it’s actually the less historically accurate one.

    There were forced historectomies women were made to undergo in ICE custody.

    This is malinfornation and false[1](https://reason.com/volokh/2024/06/27/judge-concludes-nbcs-allegations-of-mass-hysterectomies-by-doctor-at-ice-facility-were-false-may-have-been-knowingly-recklessly-false/)

    The official bipartisan US government investigation put it at 2, your Reason link lists 1. So a long way from the “mass hysterectomies” that were the sensationalist claims made. You’re right to push back on it.
    There were still over 40 cases of invasive gynecological procedures done without consent, but it is not the claim made.
