As someone who comes from a Canadian Muslim family, that's probably the thing that made me stop watching the show. It was just so over the top in terms of Muslim culture that it just seemed off. The way Islam was brought in to pretty much every discussion, no one actually talks or acts like that, at least no moderates. It's no different from people of Christian backgrounds who I am sure aren't talking about being Christian 24/7. It just felt like pandering.

This is exactly how I feel when my American colleagues discuss the weather in Fahrenheit.

The 0.8/kg is quite well documented, not just a single source.

People keep blaming Russia as if Africans are somehow incapable of making their own decisions. The reality is Africans are tired of French neo colonialism. Niger is a perfect example. They were selling france uranium for $0.8/kg when the market price is $200. That's Niger's resources going to power French power plants, while the people of Niger are struggling to survive. Fuck that shit.

That's a thought I've always had a well, of we all actually like the same colours. Also could just be how you are raised. I remember calling tennis it green since I was a child and no one disagreed so the colour I see for a tennis ball, my brain sees as more green than yellow. It actually blew my mind when I first realized some people consider that colour to be yellow or at the very least closer to yellow.

Ya the photo is definitely more yellowish but I play tennis regularly and I always see it as green in person.

Am I the only one who sees tennis balls more as green than yellow? And no I am not colorblind, it just looks closer to lime green to me then yellow.

Agree, best episode so far!

[–] zefiax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ya it's quite good overall. I would recommend.

Meh, they had to make the changes. The book cycles through characters every few chapters. You can't make a show without characters people can invest in.
