There are probably quite a lot of language that just use the latin name, so you might know it in dozens of languages!

It depends entirely on what colour baseball cap the base CO wears on his days off.

Gender swamping sounds like some kind of agender thing I’m too old to understand and will just nod along with.

They both have VERY strong Camina Drummer energy.

It kinda hard to have a game about rebelling against your evil tyranical overlords without any combat though. Whiskerwood is also very much on my wishlist, but one of the things I struggle with in Timberborn is the lack of challenge after the initial discovery phase and the first struggle.

After an hour or two, I’ve solved the map, and the rest is just creative-mode-but-slow.

All these things are true. But they are far from true for the vast majority of obese people. Once you realize that you are, at least partially, contributing to the problem, you make it possible to, at least partially, SOLVE the problem.

I have PCOS, I have hereditary thyroid issues. Those all contribute to obesity. I also retain a fuckton of water when it’s that time of the month. I also used to have BED.

And then I went to a therapist who basically said “so, what if you had to the power to fix a quarter of the problem? Would you do it?” I said yes, and she said “Then why aren’t you?” That was a super shitty thing to say to a 19 year old, but she was entirely correct. I could fix a quarter of my problem!

So I stopped infantilizing myself, and said I was able to lose a quarter of my overweight kilos. And you know, once that first quarter was off, it turns out that taking ownership of a problem will actually let you work on that problem.

PCOS and hypothyroidism and water retention don’t magically put fat inside your body. You can absolutely lose weight with them. It’s not as fast as someone who is otherwise healthy, sure, and that’s kinda unfair, but its also not impossible. It’s just slower, and my caloric needs are lower than other people while my stomach started out at the same size and with the same demands for satiation. And yeah, that sucks. I will gain weight if I eat the same portions as my husband, even though I do bodybuilding, sword fighting and am very active. That’s just how it works, and no amount of crying will fix that. None of my other problems went away, but I decided to deal with them instead of ignoring them. (Although the PCOS is much better without the obesity, and the BED was a lot easier to handle in therapy without the guilt)

You can recognise the unfairness and work on it, or you can just raise your hands, pretend it’s entirely out of your control and deal with obesity. Lots and lots of people opt for number two these days.

And, how to open the window during flight in case the front windshield is blocked.

That looks very hard and VERY unpleasant. Still, it beats slamming the plane into the ground

I wish the Dutch cattle graph looked like that

This is AI.

Hence the downvotes

We three sure had a great time together.

Film does, depending on how it’s stored. VHS is much thinner, and more prone to damage. There’s also a huge difference between professional tapes and “get the cheapest 5-pack at the store” we all used to have.

I’ve teleported twice in my life. However since I’m a functioning adult these days, allow me to condense the relevant finding of those experiences for you:

Don’t mix drugs and alcohol.

30k is practically nothing, looks like they were right to cancel it.

It works pretty good for the rest of us. Of course, we all didn’t keep multi-century old document without ever changing it, because every other country realized that just going “Akshully, the law means something different now” is extremely stupid.

But hey, it’s nice that the US is finally realizing that something everyone else learned in the 1800s.

i dont think lip filler accent is a thing,

It objectively is though. You can dislike how people are parodying it, but it absolutely exists.

the radical method of buying “shares of companies that make profits”

That’s OpenAI out then

Bravo!

Specifically, he would probably point out that the slave states really had an awfully small economy compared to the free states,

Both things can be true though. The money from black slaves flowed into the pockets of white slaveowners AND it was economically a very dumb move.

If I steal a thousand bucks, and lose nine hundred and fifty while running away, I haven’t benefited much, but that doesn’t change the damage inflicted.

Sigh. Open software being bundled with a worse version of paid software.

Kim followed ChatGPT’s advice rather than his lawyers’ advice, according to the court records. The first step was posting a message on Subanutica’s website to get fans on his side. (…) He then suggested that ChatGPT write it for him. It achieved the opposite of his intended goal.

I would say “you can’t make this shit up”, but I’m currently wearing this lawyer’s shoes (in a slightly different field).
