This sounds like the spaghetti bolognese you offer an Italian house guest when you want them to leave

Was this photo taken some time around 2007 or did something change that made this year so bad?

Also the simple possibility that it’s us that explores our way out to them, rather than the other way around

Fuck, you nearly got me there

OOP describes themselves as “pro-corporation”, thinks modern Russia is communist, and seems to spend an awful lot of time immersed in 4chan. Either they’re trolling or they’re about as bright as a cloudy night sky, and I don’t much care which it is

Mate what

Give me the good pain. I want my BDSM food

I think this pizza might actually be enough of a bioweapon to fend off the PLA

git gud

(games. git gud games)

This has literally nothing to do with women’s rights

this is exactly the point I’m making

You responded to criticism of the state of women’s rights under Taliban governance with criticism of America, you absolutely said something exactly that simplistic. If the post was saying that America and/or its allies should re-invade or otherwise try to overthrow the Taliban, sure, you might have a point, but it isn’t

You don’t have to think America is doing things right to think the Taliban are doing them wrong

The original being “This film is dedicated to the gallant people of Afghanistan.” See, for example, this review from 1988

You can take part in something without taking part in the community about that thing, though. I play guitar a lot, but I don’t frequent any guitar-based communities

I suppose if you hear your class talking about something a lot, it probably makes some sense to at least briefly look into it. Especially if the general gist of it can be understood by watching one thirty second youtube video

For Civ 6, I’d say winning each victory once. Try to do it with different civs each time too. You can set your goal as winning a game on the highest difficulty if you want, but personally I don’t find that to be as interesting as the shift in gameplay necessary to win the different victories without just militarily crushing everyone else.

I chose Amazon and a bag design as the example specifically because it’s a real story (although not a rucksack, I misremembered that part)

Potential revenue isn’t, but intellectual property is. At least in most current legal systems, it is

I don’t think that that’s necessarily true. Let’s say someone designs a rucksack because they find the existing options on the market uncomfortable. They produce them on a small scale and they get fairly popular. Then Amazon sees it, copies it, mass produces it for less than the original designer could, and makes sure that any time someone searches for a rucksack on Amazon their version appears first in the list. I think it’s reasonable to say that the original designer lost something there

That doesn’t mean copyright can’t be or isn’t abused, of course

They’re actually not even necessary, you can use things like heather or spruce instead. Personally I like those better

Speed is metre hertz rather than metre per hertz. Metres per hertz would measure absement, which is a measure of how far away something is from a start point and for how long. So being twice as far away for half the time would be the same amount of absement.
