Yeah, I saw one yesterday for the first time during football because I typically avoid all the classic sources of commercials, and it was just two dude bros who looked like they were making a podcast sitting around saying “Yo, I don’t want all my tax money being used to give prisoners sex change operations”. And I thought, “who on earth would this possible convince to vote for Trump who wasn’t already absolutely going to?”
So if and when we make that happen, and we have a society free of that stuff, do we think everything will always be perfect and free of conflict and no one will break the (hopefully much improved) laws? That seems unlikely, so we’ll need some kind of way of keeping the order, right? Will it not be the responsibility of a specific job? Will there be people with that job but we won’t call them any of the names we currently have for that general job category?
I personally really enjoy how David and the skeletons either can’t out won’t elaborate on the parts of their whole thing that the people are confused about. There’s just something funny to me about how it doesn’t seem like they’re intentionally being obtuse. They’ll gladly answer the vague question of “and the skeletons are…?” with the equally vague “part of it!” with a big smile, as though it was a perfectly fine and helpful answer.
Hey Wayne, did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny?
I still legitimately didn’t know what it means to not “be a feminist” with regards to sexual relations. Like, don’t treat her as an equal, so be a selfish lover who doesn’t care if she gets off as long as you do? Or more like the original post, don’t concern yourself with “feminist” concepts like consent and just start having sex with her without asking her if she wants to? Just be a caveman who takes what he wants, when he wants it? I know that there are plenty of women who are into that sort of thing, so no kink shaming, I justed wanted to be sure I knew what we were actually talking about.
To give the original question answer slightly more (probably unfounded) credit, there are a lot of people out there who know the basics of what inflation is, but also seem to have a fundamental assumption that in a “normal” economy, wages will also increase at the same pace as inflation, resulting in a net zero effect on a person’s buying power overall. Even though, yes, things are always getting a little more expensive in absolute terms, they don’t seem more expensive. So the answer to the question someone with those assumptions might have actually been trying to ask is that even if inflation returns to a “normal” rate, wages have remained stagnant for a long time and aren’t keeping pace with inflation like they used to, so now things actually are more expensive in a relative sense.
All the Simpsons fans out there know how great Zinc is.
Thank you, if you hadn’t posted it, I would have. I was literally just watching this again for the umpteenth time yesterday. One of my favorite videos of all time.
What I got from the video was just how inspired by the Kansai region Gold and Silver were. It’s not just the map layout and the cities being analogues to real cities; it’s also things like certain Pokemon being inspired by the real animals of the region and only showing up in the Pokemon world in the same places they’d be found in Japan, or that the Ruins of Alph are directly inspired by real ruins in Japan that contained ancient mysterious murals depicting mythological creatures including a sun bird that is straight up Ho-oh. He’s talks a lot about the ruins and myths and how the Unown fit into it all, and about how the earlier games were more artistic and full of love for Japan and nature and stuff and not just geared towards selling games or catering to the competitive battling crowd. That last part is maybe more my interpretation of what he was saying.
I just spotted my first in person yesterday and I agree completely. My kid said “It’s shiny” and I said “Yeah, because the alternative to that is to be covered in rust”.
Lucky we caught on before humans ate them to extinction. Scientists haven’t always been so lucky.
My interpretation was that OP was trying to come up with an even bigger way of wasting money the cops could use to “fix” the problem.
Is there a pattern to where the gaps are happening? Like are they always where the beginning of a layer starts printing or are they interspersed throughout layers? I recently had a similar problem with my K1 and some random filaments that were a few years old where the start/end points of my layers had holes, almost like the start of the extrusion was lagging behind the movement or the stopping of the extrusion was happening prematurely. I never really figured out the core problem because I just switched to vase mode because it worked nicely for the model I was printing. But I thought about playing with my retraction settings in case I was retracting too much or adjusting my nozzle temp in case these rolls just weren’t flowing when melted like they used to (but it sounds like you’ve tried that already). And I know it’s a bit cliche at this point but you might want to try drying your filament especially if you’re hearing pops from the nozzle when it’s printing.
I’m finishing up putting my kid to bed so I’m looking at my old copy of that sweet stinky boy right now.
Thankfully my dog only really interacts with other dogs at places that require vaccinations.
I don’t usually feel the need to change how I talk, but I should probably practice simplifying my vocabulary more often than I do because on the rare occasion I do need to, like when I’m talking to a child, I think I go a little too far with it and just end up sounding like a caveman.
Whenever I want to say something is cool, I have to complete the whole phase of “cool, alright. C-c-cool, alright, kick it.” But if I’m being sarcastic about the thing being cool, I will say the first part but then continue on to say “ki-ki-kicks my mom”.
