They actually did that with birds!

Boost, since I was used to it for Reddit and I like the customization options.

While the halberd’s blade offers a lot of options for hooking your opponent, it equally gives them an opportunity to hook your polearm and manipulate it themselves. The simpler spearhead is also lighter than that of a halberd, allowing for more sustain when fighting for long periods.

I would definitely prefer a halberd (or billhook) over a spear given the choice, but it’s not as much of a direct upgrade as you might think.

A quick Google search gives Texas, Florida, and Virginia.

They could’ve done a little green sliver like they did for 1980.

The percentages for 2016 only add up to 97, and the 40% bar is longer than the 41% of 2012.

It’s a urinal, I would hope it doesn’t have access to any poop to analyze.

Unless they’ve been proven to be arguing in bad faith or dishonestly. Then it’s fair game to criticize them.

Real. Lucien Greaves is no better, either. Always be suspicious of people who try to lead Satanists, because religious leadership is literally the antithesis of (modern atheistic) Satanism.

This. I got the “physically unable to multitask” ADHD instead of the “needs multiple sources of stimulation” ADHD.

Mine goes: open the image,

I love the implicit idea that celebrities are region-locked like video games lol

Must’ve been casual Friday at the tower

The word theory is used differently in science to how it is in common speech. In science, a “theory” represents humanity’s best possible explanation for something given everything we know. For example, the theory of gravity gives a reason for why things are attracted to each other, namely the bending of spacetime.

Theories don’t become laws, either. Laws in science describe what happens, and theories describe how. To go back to gravity, the law of gravity is an equation that can tell you exactly how much two objects will be attracted to each other, but it can’t explain how that happens. That’s what the theory is for.

Hope this helps!

I don’t think a kid calling their parent their “dom” would go over well 💀💀💀

“Parent” works in formal settings, but it would be weird to have your kid call you that. Maybe just your name?

As if us Bacchus-worshipping, circular-family-tree-pantheon Romans have any right to criticize! Let them call Iupiter what they will and carry on with their strange practices. The mighty religion of Rome will surely outlast this puny upstart cult!

I’ll give it a shot anyways, to play devil’s advocate.

I only buy a vanishingly small percentage of the amount of meat produced by factory farms every year. So I feel the same percentage responsible for perpetuating that system, which isn’t nearly enough to keep me up at night.

🙋 I’ve hunted deer, gutted and skinned them myself too. The tenderloins are great sauteed, and the rest of the meat is good ground (just don’t cook it as long as hamburger, it’s more lean).

Having been to Paris myself not too long ago, their rudeness is far overhyped. They were actually quite pleasant to us for the most part, only a handful of interactions that I would consider rude, mostly from street scammers. Maybe I just got lucky or missed some social cues, but I’m not sure where this idea of the openly contemptuous average Parisian comes from.
