Hold on buddy, don't be so critical of the US

They're working very hard to ensure every person has a firearm in each hand at all times. With all that work there is little time to worry about healthcare

Of course i would appreciate it if we stopped selling weapons.

The West is not perfect by any means. (and I noticed you skipped answering my question about dictators with EU support)

My point is that country leaders have limited influence. They can't influence everything like you seem to suggest

Movie adaptations are Hollywood's equivalent of a tourist trap. Of course it will be crap 95% of the time

Adaptations from a work that originated in another format are difficult to pull off. But that's only part of why most adaptations are bad. Marketing knows that if there's a big franchise name in the title, the movie will turn a profit no matter how bad it is

"insult to gamers and movie lovers"

I've seen this sort of article written every time a franchise is adapted to a series/movie

Holy shit I'm so fucking tired of these. Will we never collectively learn not to fall for marketing stunts like these?

My brother what can they do?? They put diplomatic pressure and sanctions in place but there's nothing more a country can do to influence another nation.

There are US and EU sanctions in Venezuela since years. But they still manage to live in their limited space.

Saudi Arabia is an Absolute Monarchy. They have a king and all that bullshit. The king is a de facto dictator BY DESIGN. that's their constitution.

What do you expect us to say?? "hey, how about you abolish your whole political system? Because you know... We kinda don't like it"

I don't like it either bro but it is what it is. We have to live with that bullshit. Unfortunately there is no solution to everything

Name a dictator that gets political support from the EU

Remember to be your enemy's best friend!

when you criticize someone your objective is to help them form a better opinion. If you simply point out that their opinion is wrong it's likely that they will consider your argument as an attack on their values or self. At this point the argumentation is of no value

Instead talk to them like you would talk to your best friend. Listen and try to understand where their concern comes from, and ask questions that make them have to analyse their own opinions.

You need to help them see what their biases/emotions won't let them. It takes patience and compassion.

Western powers are willing to recognise Putin as the ruler of the Russian Federation

"A European Union spokesman said the elections were not properly monitored, nor conducted in a free and fair way. The governments of the UK, Germany and the US echoed this." -BBC on the Russian 2021 elections

Here's the article

This has always happened in the past Russian elections. The EU doesn't push harder on this topic because they know these efforts won't influence Russia

On Venezuela however, there's a lot more chance that international pressure will cause changes. Maduro GTFO!

Don't know but probably not anthropology

Do you mean that your sadness levels are consistent among all times you're exposed to bad examples of this linguistic change?

Should it not be "constantly saddened", meaning that sadness is caused often upon you when seeing such examples?

If this is the case, I can relate to that. Or should I say... it do be like that sometimes

This sounds so stupid in my head. I hate it
