I know it’s a joke that you’re implying that the poster is the one on the right talking about the one on the left… but English usually defaults to left to right informational flow even outside of writing, which makes me wonder— is your native language a Right to Left language, or does it use OVS word order? Just curious.

I would highly suspect he forgot to edit it out. That seems so much more likely to me.

Yeah, the intro is a bit long, no denying that. I personally find the build up worth it though in terms of narrative payoff. But I do always dread the slow start when I replay it. Fair.

It’s not? OoT has a nice pc port too.

Not to mention that Twilight Princess is a good game, and beloved by many.

Taxes apply any time money changes hands. The existence of taxes is not the thing that should cause revolution. The hoarding of wealth by the wealthy is. They don’t get taxed because their money doesn’t change hands, and for many other reasons, not least of which is corruption and bribery.

It only kinda works like this. If you have two slits, looking at it or not, you will see the top one. Now, the really weird thing is that if you fire a single photon at a time, you will still get the top one over time, suggesting that the single photon is somehow going through both slits and interfering with itself to do so. But the even weirder thing is, if you place a detector in one of the two slits to check which slit the photon is going through? You suddenly get the bottom picture.

I think we are.

Businesses are capable of providing useful things to the world. It’s a good thing to enable companies to improve the world while disabling their ability to harm it.

Then set the percentage based on the margin? Something that would genuinely hurt without simply dismantling the business, so there’s still something left to correct itself?

My smartwatch has literally changed my life. I got it because I needed to keep track of blood oxygen on a regular basis for a medical condition, and while the finger clip reader was okay I wanted something I had on me all the time. But the mere fact that I could see, on an ongoing basis, how many calories I was burning was extremely motivating to my adhd mind, and I started exercising, then tracking calories and dieting, I’ve built muscle, lost fat, and actually changed my lifestyle in general. And don’t tell me I could have done those things without a smartwatch— years of empirical evidence contradict that statement.

A question only a young person would ask. After you become an adult, it’s not creepy to hang out with other adults. Before you’re an adult is when you give a shit about other people’s ages, because it matter.

Is there something about farting in a bikini that’s different from farting in any other clothing?

Assuming that as an older millennial, I’m the parent you’re talking about, no. Porn almost never went on those. VHS and paper magazines mostly. Computer porn would be downloaded to a convoluted folder depth with misleading names on your hard drive, and would never be placed on removable media unless you had a CD burner, which was rare as fuck (but they did exist).

Seriously though, people used to make genuine mazes out of nested folders.

If you were in the era of dial up BBS systems, you still were far more likely to use a hard drive than a floppy. The reason floppies weren’t used is that even at low resolution with still images, not much would fit on the things, super inconvenient. Shareware, sure. Porn? Not likely.

Cassette just means a small case, compact enough that you can plug the entire case straight into your machine. A “normal” sized case would be one of those metal canisters that store 8mm movie reels, and you need to take the tape out of those to use them.

Don’t want no captain crunch, don’t want no Raisin Bran…

You have Batman Beyond and Batman Caped Crusader, but no Batman: TAS? The show that redefined Batman away from goofy Adam West style comedy and into deep character drama… some of those episodes still give me the chills to this day. That show elevated camp into something deep and truly moving.

Or North Korea. Or China. Take your pick of fascist dictatorships.

No, the difference is that if you double a kelvin number, you have quantifiably doubled the heat. If you double a Celsius or Fahrenheit number, you have not quantifiably doubled the heat… the number does not objectively count an amount of something.

Think meters. A meter measures an exact length. Two meters is double one meter.

Celsius doesn’t do that. Celsius is a scale between two amounts of heat.

The equivalent for distance would be if we had a scale where 0 degrees distance was equal to 582.7762 meters, and 100 degrees distance was equal to 721.5323 meters. Each degree between 0 and a hundred is then a slice of that range. Maybe for the people who designed such a scale there’s useful reasons to do so, but you aren’t measuring the quantity or amount of something, you’re measuring a range.

Kelvin measures molecular movement, just as hertz measures oscillations or cycles, or grams measure weight.

Nope, Kelvins are a countable unit, like meters. Celsius and Fahrenheit are not.

I genuinely enjoyed it more when I was younger, finding all the joke articles and whatnot. Now I enjoy it less, but I’m content to let others have their fun. No use whining about it, and why should I decrease someone else’s enjoyment, when all I need to do is sit back and ignore stuff that doesn’t matter anyway. Easy.
