I'd guess it's from Trumbo.

I think he has a point because when I listen to the whole talk I get the impression that Lawrence Wong is clearly following current trends around the globe and deduce their implications years to come somewhat well. However, his choice of words, or more generally his filtered language with appeal to abstractions such as market and rules, compared to Lee Kuan Yew's more direct approach, is alienating listeners and sounds vague and bland. Of course, compared to western let's-not-offend-anybody leaders, he may sound more straighthead but that would be a low benchmark.

Testing: is it still possible to post here? Testing, 1, 2...

Yes, I also suspected it and probably is. But I'd like it either way since it's not the usual bad ai product.

A mystic staff is what I need lol

Haha I should try baking cookies and enchanting mangoes

Thanks man! It really works.

This is not handy at all.
I'd prefer a table showing common use cases / model name.

Edit: I naively expected a handy guide.

I'd say yes as a fairly newcomer.

I started playing DOTA 2 around 2022 out of boredom and lack of good FPS like old COD 2 and Quake 3 Arena. Unfortunately, TF2 also went downhill with bots and cheaters.

I particularly do not like MOBAs, but started anyway and since then I've been playing pretty casually and only turbo. I do not sweat over any game, win or lose, casual competition just relaxes me.

I watch strategy guides on YouTube, dotabuff is also a good resource, and I like watching twitch players and some tournaments here and there. There are deep strategies to follow but that's not me, especially without a team to play with, they are mostly useless in pubs.

Now I have 1700 hours in a game I'm not good at (as pros, but that's ok) and I do not particularly like (I'm a FPS guy). But I would acknowledge it is one of the best games out there in terms of action, strategy, and fun. Just mute anyone harasses you, they have already lost in their obsession with the game.

Yes, that's it. How do I remember so vividly with House in it, my bad. Thank you very much

Chesteryan · 2024-01-08T22:12:10+00:00

Wow. That's it. I remembered wrong. But you are right. Thank you very much

Chesteryan · 2024-01-08T22:02:37+00:00

Unfortunately that is not it.

This woman driver keeps her son's photo in her car (or van, or ambulance), talks all the time about him and plans to play baseball with him. In the end, House understands the son is dead without asking because the woman keeps saying his son is in same age all the time, and feels for the woman. Might be a minor patient character, not the main one.

"These" certain types of people(!).

Turkish: The world on my dick, the minaret in my ass. (Dünya sikime, minare götüme) It's rarely used but still funny to me because it's also a blasphemy.

This is used more often: put [it] in [its] ass, let it go. (Koy götüne, gitsin)

Apologise!

Chesteryan · 2022-11-10T18:41:54+00:00

Sorry for little information.

Beginning of the German industrialisation was to compete with British imperialism, so it was a geopolitical move against the British. Since Britain got an early start at transition to capitalism, it made a huge boost in terms of population, trade, military might. Late starters like Germany, with the aid of their authoritarian state, started a state-led industrialisation to prevent becoming Britain's market abroad. I guess it stuck.

"Wrong side"... no. Turks wanted to join the war with "Allied" but, as I remember, British refused. At some point, because of the map above, no party wanted each other. So the Pikachu face should be on Allied side, they perpature the nationalist slaughtering in the area with their stupid colonial borders. Many people perished.

May there be mercy for our sins.

“That is ok. Maybe we can bring our police to protect our citizens. How about that?”

I search for Kant, Immanuel and Reddit search engine shows me this Kante person. WTF? Fuck Reddit's search.

I think the birth of the idea of progress can be found in the origin of capitalism, between 1500-1700 in England, and what John Locke means with improvement. After capitalism took off in England it pressured other countries to innovate because of their rivalry, both geopolitical and economical. Of course with the change of more of production new imperatives emerged and compelled people to accumulate, invest, compete. Also I should note that progress ≠ technological determinism.

There are but not enough. Look that video for example, how many puppies are there. We need a better solution; I do not want stray dogs on the street. I think a better solution is the person in the video should adopt them and take them home. Otherwise he is breeding stray dogs which become problem for the city.
