There was a study from Princeton showing that no major policy has aligned with public opinion since the civil rights era.

There is no measurable way that our government has reflected the will of the majority in over 50 years.

Lol, this is my first time hearing about this game. On gog.com it has 1.8/5 score, or 4.8 from verified owners.

That would suggest that most people who’ve played it liked it well enough.

I would call this qualia chauvinism, when people need to feel their subjective experience is universal.

We used a two person system.

One held the cat close to their body, securing the front paws against the cat with one hand and securing the head with the other hand. You have to secure the back hips against you with your arm or elbow.

The other pushed the pill into the cat’s mouth, held it shut and stroked the throat.

After a few months the cat realized struggling wasn’t worth the effort and only tried to claw our faces off if we got complacent.

We miss her very much.

It’s possible to spend your own money unethically. I don’t think your argument is sound.

All the photos of full-time lumberjacks I’ve seen are from the US and they’re all skinny and wiry. Lumberjacking required an absurd amount of calories/day and no major lumber concern gave their workers enough food to cover that.

The posters in the Linux version are also in the windows version. The windows version has extra layers of posters on top, the Linux version just has that base layer.

Or that’s how it looks to me at least.

Grifters trying to stymie competing grifts is the ideal use of our throughly corrupt court system. Just the perfect venue for that. It’s like an inception of lies and money.

I always presumed Yoda’s native language was an Object Subject Verb (OSV) language, or used OSV for emphasis. It’s common for 2nd language speakers to occasionally slip into native language grammar - such as Chinese speakers omitting the/a.

Yoda can correctly use SVO in English (Galactic Common iirc?), just not all the time. Again suggesting a proficient non-native speaker. For example: ”Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

Yaddle doesn’t speak like Yoda, indicating either better fluency or an SVO native language - not all the species need speak the same native language.

There are no good or bad people, that’s not how being a biological organism works.

Everyone has a spectrum of different risk/reward tolerances and the perceived risks and rewards of an action determine individual behavior.

Ratcheting up the risks by imposing punishments lowers the amount of individuals who determine the action to be beneficial to them. Other factors can have more influence though - raising shoplifting penalties does little to influence the behavior of a starving population, for example.

First time I quit i was sick and cigarettes tasted awful for a week, so I figured if I had already gone a week without I might as well quit. Whenever I got a craving I thought about how disgusting they tasted with a cold, and imagined spongey lungs filling with black tar till I gave myself a shiver of disgust.

I started up again years later while traveling, then quit for good while visiting my parents for 2 months - I know I’m too embarrassed to smoke around my parents.

For all the fun-ruiners saying this is not uplifting news because his assets will live on, zombie-like, animating his feckless children as they continue to inflict their monstrous will on our country - shush!

Just let us have this ok? A few moments to celebrate the death of a parasitic aristocrat doesn’t seem like too much to ask.

If we just extend that rule to everyone we’d have better cheaper stuff and fewer rich people to boot.

When I worked in a mall, there were no staff toilets. So I was subjected to a slightly less extreme version of that maybe 2-3 times a week.

I call that symphony “ringing the taco bells”.

If you honestly believed that democracts and republicans are identical on israel and you care about human suffering you’d look at all the other ways that trump and his fascists have promised to brutalize everyone who’s not them and minimize human suffering by voting for a democrat.

Trump killing trans people, immigrants and palestinans is not a moral victory for opponents of our genocide in gaza.

Yeah, that makes it very hard to vote for them, I feel that. But that’s a problem that gets worse by not voting for a democrat.

Republicans have promised to genocide harder and trump has already been coordinating with netanyahu to counter anything that might reduce palestinans deaths.

I don’t like it either but it’s time to be an adult, do the unpleasant thing, and vote for a democrat.

When WC1 first launched the one selling point that everyone mentioned was that if you click on units enough times they get annoyed and say “stop poking me!”

Warcraft was always heavy on the whacky, that’s its whole thing.

Don’t vote “for/against whoever”. Vote against trump like an adult - that means voting democrat.

Sure, picking between two options that you don’t want is legitimately hard for human brains to do. But republicans have promised and begun to brutalize minorities at ever larger scales, and are objectively worse than democrats on everything that matters.

Handing the reins of state power to fascists has never improved life for leftists or humanity.

If someone reads my comment, and they’our not sure if I’m serious our not, that’s ok with me.

Rebury the disarticulated ochre-painted bones of an important deceased community member!
