@guyjantic Folklore has always been weird.And Capitalist exploitation is not new, either. I mean, _someone_ made a bunch of money with the Magical Treasure Hunt craze of Early Modern Europe, and it probably wasn't the actual treasure hunters.
@rastilin Nope, not by a long shot. And actually, a lot of international titles don’t have translations. Korean DOS games are pretty damn awesome, and few of them are in English. And they’re amazing.
@Tim_Eagon my neighborhood is fine. The personal worry is that the hillside might give.There's a lot of places I go that flooded though and there are now dams/levees at risk
@mekkaokereke I know a black woman who has immigrated to Germany. And she still regularly encounters people who insist on talking to her in English.Because obviously she couldn't possibly speak German.
@BoredomFestival @socprof Honestly, it won't even be good for them. Likelihood is that a bunch of people will downgrade or cancel.Subsidy from the government was easy money in their pocket they didn't have to chase down.
