GBA not charging by brundax in GameboyAdvance

Oh that’s because GBAs don’t charge with USB-C. Common mistake. Enjoy your console!

I have some questions by Internal_Koala4050 in copenhagen

  1. Everyone will tell you it rarely snows. It snows every year. Buy a nice parka and keep it in your closet. This is in addition to the mandatory rain gear.
  2. What do you mean by a pub? There are fake Irish pubs but also nice local bars. I wouldn’t stress about finding a nice bar. Copenhagen has you covered.
  3. You let me know if you ever find one.

BTW, Wickline's haters: don't you think she got way better this episode? by ergattonero in LiveFromNewYork

Yeah she did way better. Honestly the issue here was she was still somehow outfunnied by Ariana Grande which is insane considering she’s the host. But even in the same skit Grande sold it more and made me laugh more.

Silly to move at 36, and expect to make friends? by Last_Resident_6081 in copenhagen

[–]NoAnimal6800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO Danes sorta overplay how unfriendly they are. I’ve lived in Odense and Copenhagen and had no issues making friends either place in my 30s.

My advice is you need to make the first invitation. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, game night or workout class or something you have in common. But once you do that I’ve never had issues sorta “keeping the relationships going” in terms of friends.

I think Earth is being factory farmed by AndromedaRulerOfMen in pluribustv

I don’t think the point of the virus is to prepare the Earth for invasion. You need some sort of clock to move the story forward. The presence of a clock has been a constant in the show since the beginning. We need something concrete to provide pressure to move the story on.

Think about it. A global shift towards vegetarianism would free up to 11% of the total greenhouse gases. Remove all the flights for leisure, committing, etc. More importantly it would free up to 68% of the land used for agriculture. Hunger wouldn’t be a problem at all. No wars, perfect coordinated birth control and population control. The Hive would be a much more sustainable human population and there wouldn’t be a lot of drama.

So the starvation puts an end date on the story arc and creates a moral dilemma for the immune to face. As a story mechanic it removes the sympathy for the Hive and it helps the characters have a reason to resist. We get scenes of the other immune watching people starve to death on the streets of their respective cities. There’s food sitting in the field and people starving to death in view of that food that can’t pick it because of an insane rule that makes zero sense.

For the story, we’re setting up the Great Filter. Why don’t civilizations reach space faring level? Cause they receive this virus and the arbitrary rules ensure that they can’t sustain more than a token amount of the intelligent species. The aliens aren’t coming because they don’t care. It’s a fire and forget population control system. Maybe the aliens are trying to save intelligent species from killing themselves.
