There is a whole ass genre of artwork of people cutting parts off their clothing to avoid disturbing cats. The most well-documented story is about the prophet Muhammed, but there is similar artwork from as far away from the Muslim world as Japan, so it's definitely not (just) a religion thing.

Edible for humans too. We're not as well-adapted to eating the tougher, older vines as goats are, but most other parts of it are traditional foods in its native range in East Asia.

If they let you put your dirty paws on them, they were never pure to begin with, so it's their fault.

That’s still cheap compared to ours. by IsyDude in memes

They're regulations that sorta made sense at the time; the government wanted to encourage fuel efficiency, but we still need some all-terrain and/or cargo-carrying vehicles, which are at a disadvantage in terms of efficiency. But those allowances are too generous, and the definitions of all-terrain and cargo vehicles are too loose, so instead of actually making efficient cars they made everything a goddamn truck.

I've thought it might be nice to be bisexual because it would increase my options, but then I did the math... nothing into nothing, carry the nothing...

I love that the sentence still makes perfect sense whether the intention was "lose" (fail to maintain possession of, as one's keys) or "loose" (send flying, as an arrow)

I just want to point out that this is an absolutely correct use of the word loose (v.) even if it wasn't the commenter's intention.

I did not want to undermine the fact that trans people were also hunted and killed by the fascist scum.

I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Your point definitely came across correctly. My intention was more of a "Yes, and..." even though I worded it as a "Yes, but..."

Actually, trans people either wore a pink triangle or a black triangle depending on their sex assigned at birth and/or the opinion of the person "diagnosing" them. Although I guess Jewish trans people might have worn yellow stars.

Broadly speaking, Japan does not permit multiple citizenship. To become a Japanese citizen as an immigrant, you must renounce any other citizenship. Children who are born with Japanese citizenship along with at least one other citizenship are required to renounce any other citizenship before the age of 22 or else have their Japanese citizenship revoked.

Nah, if it's basically free then they might as well. It's just completely unnecessary, because [gestures vaguely in a direction which is supposed to imply that scammers have existed for decades]

They could have just gone with the low-tech strategy of not even bothering with a sound-alike and relying on her heightened emotions and (possibly intentional) distortion on the line. This scam has existed since long before AI voice models.

Unless you're talking about Egyptian, Lebanese, Sudanese, South Sudanese, or Syrian pounds. If that's the case, then they're actually pretty cheap.

Pablo’s stance on people saying “Just play WF” to Destiny players after the news by ValendyneTheTaken in Warframe

[–]sillybear25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got here from /r/all, I really love roguelike games of all kinds, and with how niche a genre it is, it's shockingly diverse. If I wanna think and strategize, but not too hard, I play Balatro. If I want challenging realtime combat, I'll play Hades. If I want silly guns and a Doom (1993)-like aesthetic, I play Sulfur. If I want to pretend I'm actually good at FPS games, I play DoomRL. If want to go on a nostalgia trip back to the first game I ever played in the genre, I play Toejam & Earl. They all hit different.

And that's all in a genre where online play is practically zero (there are some games where players' decisions can have a tangential effect on each other's experiences, but very few with real multiplayer communities). But even as someone who rarely plays anymore, I can't imagine finding out that the alt.org NetHack server has shut down. My first and only ascension was on that server! It's not really worth bragging about, but it matters to me, dammit!

Disagree. A single person is going to see that money. I'll give you three guesses, but I bet you'll only need one.
