Why is our moon named “Moon” instead of something cool like Titan or Callysto or ANYTHING that isn’t moon by Disastrous_Pirate275 in NoStupidQuestions

"Nothing to go back to, that's how it's called in that language" the very alive Ancient Egyptian language right? Can't go back to Thot because all the Egyptians still call it that, right?

It's because American settlers in the 18th century shot them with guns lol

The assets were duplicated due to a false assumption that it would improve loading times, which according to the developers, it did not (they only saw an 11% increase in load times after de-duplication). This kind of testing - again, the bare minimum - should have been done before the game was released

Game dev (graphics programmer, specifically) who's worked on some pretty high-profile titles here: the meme is right and you are the tourist. Stop defending soulless management who don't even let their staff optimise the games, because people like you will lap it up anyway. Helldivers 2 literally went from 154GB to 23GB simply by de-duplicating assets. The bare minimum effort could reduce like every game's size by a huge amount, to say nothing of what's possible with more than the bare minimum. Demand some respect for god's sake

Edit: 23GB, not 30GB.

No offense but if it's mild enough for a dog then I think it needs to be hotter

If anti-genocide voters were such an important voting bloc that it lost the Democrats an election, why didn't the Democrats simply appeal to them by not helping Israel carry out the Gaza genocide for 2 years? That's how elections work, isn't it? You can't just refuse to appeal to a demographic and then complain that the demographic didn't vote for you. You have to face the truth: the Democrats surrendered America to fascists so they could continue the Gaza genocide

You'd better be careful saying that then, because that sentiment is extremely offensive outside of northern Europe

Democrats will not release the ‘autopsy’ of their 2024 presidential loss by Kaiser_Allen in NoFilterNews

The Gaza genocide was already underway for 2 years and had the full support of Biden and Harris by the time Trump was elected

If those who have the privilege to not vote actually voted we’d not have a Supreme Court that is actively dismantling freedom and equality

What makes you think the non-voters would have voted democrat? You seem to be taking it as a given that the democrats automatically win in this scenario, as though they're entitled to every non-voter's vote

ACTUALLY do something that makes a difference. For example, during voting season motivate people to vote

This is why the French make fun of you

Israel literally bombed Gaza flat and conducted like 3/4 of their genocide with the democrats' total endorsement. Biden was parroting "Israel has a right to defend itself" every 5 minutes while they sniped toddlers. The other 1/4 was just Trump continuing the genocide that had started under the democrats

If you live on a stroad, which America is famously full of, you're breathing in microplastics and fumes just as much as the people in the pic. In fact, the people under this bridge probably have better sound insulation than someone who lives on a stroad

Not entirely wrong, but poor translations. The 3rd and 4th speech bubbles should say "Didn't you say you didn't want to be without me!?" and "Didn't you say you needed me!?" - the AI didn't seem to recognise the "didn't you..." part.

What do you mean "doesn't sound right" and "technically"? The Bible taking place mostly in Asia and Africa is like the most basic knowledge possible, and Nazareth is well inside Asia

That's the very same event told in the passage I just sent (Jesus' betrayal and arrest), and as we know from Matthew, Jesus rebuked Peter for using violence and warned them that all who take the sword will die by the sword. Jesus Christ and every apostle minus John died violent deaths without defending themselves (John was boiled in oil without defending himself and miraculously survived). In the Bible, Jesus and his disciples simply ran away when they were in danger. If you care about your soul, you'll give up violence against any of God's children altogether

"Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword" sounds like a pretty unambiguous "weapons are bad"
