I’m told I didn’t even get out of the tutorial even though I played it for a good while. A lot of the dialog between the player character and whatever the first guy’s name is felt like they were written by people who had only a vague idea of what the other person was saying.
“We have to keep moving! Let’s stop here.” :|
I’m not into Baldur’s Gate, but my partner explained the retcons in 3 to me, and I find them offensive. Why not just make an original character instead of altering an existing one beyond recognition?
The problem is that I don’t want to use different weapons. Some people play Monster Hunter with a bunch of different weapons depending on the hunt, but I don’t, and the game respects that. In a game like BotW I don’t want to use my cool thing because then it will go away and I’ll be sad.
I think some previous Zelda entries did a much better job at making bosses feel like puzzles, particularly Link Between Worlds. In BotW you can just eat a feast and mash buttons.
I’m not really sure what you mean. Even if you’re going to boil a pot of water, it’s much quicker and energy efficient to boil in an electric kettle first and then pour that water into the pot, repeating until full. (Unless heating slowly is necessary, which I think is the case for boiled eggs?)
If you’re only going to drink a single mug of tea then the kettle is actually horribly wasteful. It’s better to microwave a single mug.
I also don’t really understand the allegation that the English don’t cook. Surely they’re making macaroni and ketchup at the very least. Or why the English are relevant to the conversation at all.
If you learn just a little bit of math you can realize that no one else is getting anywhere near them either.
Can you be more specific about the kind of support you’re suggesting? I think social media is addictive just by the nature of it, even for adults, and I’m not able to imagine a way to combat it short of regulating it away.
I don’t really understand technology, but I’m pretty sure the digital ID app can be used to verify your age without giving the website any further personal information.
The lives of children should never be completely left up to whatever random people happened to birth them, imo. You don’t have to be good parenting material to want children, and you don’t have to want children to make some. They should receive every bit of resources and care the community can reasonably contribute, and that includes keeping harmful things away from them. whether it’s physical or mental harm.
It’s vs patriarchy, not vs men. Patriarchy hurts everyone, including men.
Maybe margarine should be pink.
In cities seems like the place where it’s least possible to separate bike lanes from streets. Are you really going to build over- and under-passes at every block?
When you really think about it, dragons are just wealth-hoarding chickens.
Dinosaurs are birds, after all.
If elephants weren’t around anymore to look at, we could potentially notice similarities with the tapir and extrapolate a trunk based on the shape of and connective area on the elephant’s skull. We’d have to guess at the specific properties of the trunk, but at least we’d know it was there and be able to support arguments for things like its size without them being pure guesswork.
Without a similar animal I don’t know how close we’d get. Maybe it would be a mystery that inspires wild speculation.
A hippo skull is a great example of how soft tissue structure can be seen in bone structure. Check out that enormous jaw bone and compare it to a human skull. It’s easy to see how it must have massive jaw muscles and an incredible bite force.
For another strong jaw you can look at the orca, but notice also how flat its skull is where you’d expect it to be round. On top is where it keeps its echolocation melon.
In more recent decades we’ve learned to better interpret muscle structure from the bone structures the muscles would attach to, and how they’d move together. Then we can couple that with not only physics, but historical differences in things like atmospheric pressure and oxygen concentration. (For example: How does it move air down that whole long neck to its lungs?)
A lot of updates have been made, but outdated info is still extremely prevalent. It’s also difficult to search for accurate depictions because there’s not a good way to distinguish between a science-based depiction and an artistic drawing.
It documents the effects of these pesticides, many of which contain known carcinogens, on Kenyan farm workers and communities, including breathing problems, fatal poisonings and rising cancer rates in agricultural regions.
“The influx of pesticides banned in the EU directly undermines the health of Kenyans, damages the environment, and exposes a critical failure in regulatory bodies that should be protecting public safety,” said Eustace Gacanja, chief executive officer at Koan.
“If the European Union and Britain are allowing cancer-causing pesticides to be manufactured in their own countries, exclusively to be exported to African countries, that’s not an act of good faith,” Gladys Boss Shollei, the deputy speaker of Kenya’s National Assembly, told MEPs during a joint meeting between the European parliament and African lawmakers back in 2023.
Is it worse than nut butter though?
I don’t get why anyone thinks it’s weird for Zootopia people to drink cow’s milk when we’re already drinking tons of it IRL.
Misandry is totally real, and it sucks. It’s just not a systemic issue, nor is it present in the OP.
