    All of those examples are linguistic drift though.

    Naming a white girl moana isn’t the same as some guy named Peter and his russian buddy Pyotr realizing that their names derive from the same origin in Greek (or Aramaic depending on how much you wanna argue Kefa should count as the origin since Petros was a direct translation of it as a name)

    No, just that it’ll pretty offensive for the white folks that have made polynesian life hell since just after they found the Pacific to suddenly begin jacking their names and cultural aesthetics because of a fun movie.

    This is the same shit as the dreadlocks debate, people are still getting discriminated against for this stuff, it ain’t kosher to wear it like a costume while the people it originates from can’t wear it without catching shit when it was theirs from the start.







  • Haven’t watched yet but what I’ll be looking for mentions of are,

    • Free meals provided for the whole family of students to promote nutrition and also to socially bond students, even those fortunate enough to be able to consistently afford a sustainable diet. Plus it raises demand for fresh ingredients and for kitchen workers.

    • Year round schooling with rotating schedules for students to promote skill retention, don’t worry the way the schedule rotates actually nets more time off for students it’s just more divided.

    • Assignments projects and exams can be re-attempted as many times as needed for the student to achieve a satisfactory grade to promote understanding of the material.

    • Co-teaching to create more and better paying teaching jobs and also to give teachers the ability to back eachother up against parents and students that try to gang up against them in PTA meetings.

    • Promotion of students participating in choosing what material they’ll study to achieve their educational goals for the year through democratic process by giving them more and more of the lead as they grow up.

    • Adoption of IB academic standards across the board.

    • Laws to ensure that entry level work is available to HS diploma holding workers (and that promotions/raises are also just as available) to take the pressure off higher education to achieve working class status.

    • Regional leadership cannot interfere with national standards, only add locally relevant material like lessons on local cultural traditions or the history of unique local communities or promoting local renowned authors.

    • Air condition the fucking buildings, especially with the year round schooling.

    • Combination age based and skill based academic peerage standards, basically having students who are HS aged but only have Elementary school level understanding of their material get to be in their own building to suit their academic needs. Keeps academic peers together while avoiding people feeling embarrassed for still sitting in 2nd grade because they’re just struggling that much with the material.

    • Trashing any and all standardized testing and maybe look into developing an exit or diploma equivalency exam that actually tests your mastery and understanding of the material instead of how well you prepped for the test and how good you are at taking tests.










  • More accurate to say that the initial success surge has calmed down to their core audience.

    That 10% or fewer depending on if it’s still shrinking will be the rock and stoners that keep this game running well into the future.

    You’ll probably see a similar spike then fall off then consolidation when The Forever Winter releases. That core community revenue is probably going to be what FunDog is planning on using for future projects and to cover the maintenance costs of TFW. I mean either that or they’ll power the servers by kidnapping the playerbase and harvesting their organs and bioelectricity but it was really their own fault for not being able to get out of sight before nightfall.
