I heard about it for the first time today. It does look pretty cool. Didn’t know about Denuvo, tho.

I admire Valve’s passion for quality, but it does feel like there are a lot of missed opportunities with Half-Life. They had set up so many interesting threads and I was keen to see where they led.

I eagerly await the ascension.

As a subscriber to /c/insanepeoplefacebook it took me a couple paragraphs to figure out if you were serious.

It’s a war on both, but especially on LGBTQ people. The fundamentalists are anti-porn in the same way that they are anti-sex in other ways, like opposing sex education.

But it is absolutely part of their strategy to define anything LGBTQ-related as sexual or pornographic, and therefore to criminalize any public visibility of LGBTQ people.

Every metric! Miles per gallon! Head of cattle per acre! Every possible metric!

Agreed, the drops under the tongue are a lot easier to do at home than the needles. Though I’m not sure about delivery - for whatever reason my allergist always required me to pick them up in person from his office. Not sure if that’s regulation or just a quirk of that one practice.

You are not permitted hot coffee, warm milk, or a yogurt drink. You are permitted 750g of cottage cheese, each day, for a month.

The humor reminds me of early reddit. Very needy. Lots of Star Trek, Stargate and Linux. Of course there are a lot of differences too, but it does feel a little closer to the original techie reddit base.

Bots and grandparents getting fleeced by bots.

Is this a scale where five stars is optimal, or where you’re being chased by police helicopters?

It’s an okay album. It’s a rock opera. It’s very melodramatic. There are some great songs.

I go back and forth on Animals or Meddle as their best record, with Wish You Were Here close behind.

Definitely The Wall feels much more like the solo Roger stuff than the best of Floyd.

Though the real purists only like the Barrett stuff.

Cheesy Gordita Crunch and Crunchwrap Supreme.

I’m also a fan of the Beefy Five-Layer Burrito positively smothered in Fire sauce.

Aerodynamic drag increases with the square of velocity so the math checks out. Every additional 10mph is going to have a far greater impact than those before.

That’s why I live way the hell out in the suburbs

Putting that much money into circulation would cause hyperinflation and then a gallon of milk would cost 10 quintillion dollars and you’re back to square one.

$140k per year is enough to afford a mortgage on a $500k house. You’d have to make crazy money to buy a house outright on a year’s salary, so nobody evaluates it that way.

No, you just completely failed to understand the comment and therefore the subject at hand.

If you don’t understand that a specific example or phrase is frequently used as a stand-in for a broader subject, and you can’t figure out what the subject is and therefore the meaning of the comment, then you are illiterate.

Are you really incapable of understanding that the comment was broadly about people killed in the name of religion, and “burning at the stake” was synechdoche for a larger phenomenon? Or are you just playing dumb to be a troll?

It may not happen in the western world in the modern era, but blasphemy is still punishable by death in Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Brunei, and Mauritania. Apostasy is further punishable by death in Malaysia, Maldives, Qatar, Somalia, UAE, and Yemen.
