Mean leftist who believes in magic genders
Wow, that triggered my trauma really bad for a split second. I used to get told that all the time when I was a kid, just because I was curious and neurodivergent. Eventually I came to see that sentence as a symbol of the poor empathy of neurotypicals for autistic people, and of ableism in general. If you said that in my house to a member of my family you’d probably start a domestic incident, because every autistic person I know has a similar experience.
No, that’s a lie
Nah. Only 50F to 115f is usable. What kind of weird ass datapoints are those? I mean 10C to 45C are just as random, but at least it aligns with something practical. At least I understand that 200C is twice what it takes to boil water. I have no idea how hot 400F is supposed to be.
I’m glad Playstation games are coming out on PC now. I bought a PS4 for the exclusives and the ones I bought it for were good, but I’m never gonna buy a PS5.
Funny thing about owning a console is that when Christmas and birthday come along, non gamer family and friends would rather get you a physical object than a steam key. But a physical object is sooooooo inconvenient. So I own the PS versions of RDR2 and AC Oddysey, and I’ve never finished them and probably never will. They’re good games, but it’s a bad platform. Bloody annoying.
Lego Island 2 was great
It’s a shame they fixed Cyberpunk.
Right, but what about the mimic plant? It mimicks whatever plant is near it. And it can mimic plastic plants. https://www.vox.com/down-to-earth/2022/11/30/23473062/plant-mimicry-boquila-trifoliolata
I don’t think that’s fediverse and I don’t think their modlogs show up on Lemmy
Children always looked stupid, you just didn’t notice it when you were a child
I want to power wash it
Tipping rewards the boss. If the workers don’t get tipped, the boss has to make up the difference.
Bosses are legally required to make up the difference to minimum wage if a tipped employee doesn’t get enough tips.
If I tip a cashier, then we’re taking money away from the working class to give to the working class, which means there’s no net change. But if I refuse to tip, the boss has to make up the difference and the working class gets money from the capital class.
Therefore tipping is class treachery. You’re depriving the workers of chances to take money from the bourgeois.
Australia doesn’t do tips. I think they’re saying move to Australia or you’re a class traitor.
Generously described as a theory, accurately described as a hypothesis
Well, if I was gonna have sex with a robot I’d want it to be at least as smart as a human adult. A purely preprogrammed experience sounds like no fun at all, and if it has intelligence comparable with any member of the animal kingdom that member better be human or I’m gonna feel really weird.
Iron Man: they are executives at the same company that developed the tech
Black Panther: the bad guy literally just couped the government of Wakanda
Ant Man: the villain is a former business parter of Pym
Dr Strange: they trained at the same monastery and the bad guy trained for longer
I think these fights are boring most of the time, but they’re not implausible. They have plenty of plot justification.
Also the character who copied Hawkeye was a girl who was inspired by his heroism and spent years learning archery and martial arts and still sucked at being Hawkeye when she met him
There’s one example of freezing in space done right. In the finale of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Battle Tendency, Kars gets shot into space and tries to course correct with air jets, but then he starts freezing over, air jets first.
In Phantom Blood, we were shown Dio’s special technique for freezing people by evaporating the moisture on his skin. This is to introduce viewers to the fact that boiling a liquid makes it colder. Kars froze because the moisture in his air jets boiled in the vacuum and became freezing cold. Kars didn’t know this detail of physics because he’s an ancient Aztec.
Halo is unique. At a time when the military shooter genre was closed in terrestrial (or at best, mars) spaces, Halo presented natural environments filled with gorgeous alien architecture that presents an ancient mystery and a sense of wonder at the scale and the age of a place. Perfectly augmented by the monk-like vocalisations, Halo defies the conventions of military shooters by putting you in a beautiful place that you have to explore, and slowly come to understand.
