Rogue in the films isn't done justice. Idk comics, but in X-Men Evolution the animated series she

spoilerbasically beats Apocalypse 1v1.

In the older animated series she has flight and superstrength as part of her default power sets. I recall her getting those powers from Captain/Ms Marvel.

Don't worry, zakat is another Islamic concept the clergy (I think that's the right English word) abuse and twist to line their pockets. Zakat and khons are both about donating to the needy, but both ideas have been twisted so many times. Khons details are different but the word is related to the number 5. The first version I remember being told is that you pay one fifth of your yearly earnings' leftovers.

At what point does a government need to put its citizens in so much danger that the latter realizes this is class warfare?

This is a story I heard second hand. Have not verified it cause Iranian history gives me a headache.

After the revolution Khomeini started persecuting minorities and women, despite having promised not to.

Some trans woman kept going to his house and harassed him until he agreed to at least keep protections for trans people.

Iran is the odd one out of middle eastern countries where it thinks being gay is abhorrent but being trans means you're defective and need the appropriate healthcare. Not that public healthcare in Iran is great. And people are still transphobic.

This is my favorite pseudoscience to shit on. Fundamentally the big problem with it is that there are too many layers of conplexity between psychology and evolution. You can't ignore genetics and neuroscience if you want to look at how psychology is affected, IF it's even possible.

I own a Nintendo, and I haven't used it in years. I bought some games which were ridiculously priced compared to what I was used to on steam. I'm rather annoyed they keep their games console exclusive for this reason, they have like a monopoly of a market they control, it feels.

I was gonna get some more games to put on it, but with then shutting down these emulators, I think I'll use one of those instead. Fuck Nintendo.
