the funny definition of today:

The term idiot is a word on Roman Latin used to describe those who set aside themselves from the politics and democracy...

You think if you don't know you history you are deemed to repeat it.

I guess they say ignorance is bliss, right? If I'm an idiot by the old Roman meaning of the word, so be it. I think regardless of our knowledge of history though, people by their nature are doomed to repeat their mistakes. You need look no further than the world around you to understand that. I assume it comes from our animalistic side more than anything. When once it sets in, rationality flies out the window.

I try my best in avoiding it but sometimes i care it and i would say that this is my weakness. In my counry where i live the media is controlled and on purpose they make short textes like "Men gets stabbed with a knife" without any detail or background. The Purpose of that is, that people will click on it instantly and bringing up very much controversity. especially from news by "Bild Zeitung" that is very common and hatespeech gets much bigger and bigger in youtube by germany. I try my best by avoiding it but youtube algorithm nearly force you to that. You click every thing away press on dont recomment that channel but its a curse and comes again and again

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.
