Red is also less ‘damaging’ to your night vision. https://www.nps.gov/articles/dark-adaptation-of-the-human-eye-and-the-value-of-red-flashlights.htm

Aye, it’s all about what theme you’re exploring or mood that’s being set. We don’t have batman exploding into mist when he fights people who can lift planes/cruise ships with their bare hands, because that’s not the story being told. When the theme is about the consequences of powers, rather than the escapism and being good (the ‘super’ part of superman being his morals and convictions), we get the boys and their (gory) explosions.

Aye that’s part of what I was saying. Now, the argument could be made that if the octopus is smart enough to have the goal of moving through the tract, they could muscle open the sphincter. I haven’t ever tested an octopus against a sphincter. The controlled variable would have to be octopus size…

Off hand, I think the sphincter would win out until the octopus is too big to fit through without rupturing other areas.

No, it’s not. I’ve had three dogs in my life, and been at plenty of houses with dogs. I’ve never noticed an odd smell that comes from their feet, and I have a horribly sensitive sense of smell.

Lol, I do what I can. Let me try harder. I love hollow, and play back through dark souls when I can. Hollow knight’s world doesn’t quite have the same replay value for me. Dark souls doesn’t quite have enough of a game play loop difference to make me even care about the different weapons.

That’s actually one of the few I think the turdsicle won’t do. He has it in his head that China is oooooh the enemy! Maybe they refuse to bribe him with some kind words like papa putin did.

Because while the concept “the cruelty is the point” doesn’t apply to every person who votes republican, it applies to a whole damn lot of them. Nearly every single one of the political actions taken by republicans that we have issue with: not feeding kids at school; trying to get rid of welfare, food stamps, assistance for people with newborns; not implementing healthcare for all; state level republicans targeting cities like Houston, Tx; Montgomery, Alabama; etc.; all comes down to them not wanting ‘those people’ to be helped.

I mean, some octopodes are pretty small. The real issue is them moving through the GI tract. They might be flexible enough, but propelling themselves forward consistently would be the real feat.

To the first, yep, it definitely won’t work. It’s too bad we know the addresses of the actual assholes doing all this, but (nearly) all protesting is carried out in… some other stratosphere of the vicinity.

As for the second? Yup. I’ve got three dependents to take care of and various other people who I help out. There’s no way I can contemplate letting them all suffer if something happened to my income. We’re wage slaves.

Too easy, frankly, and the awesome ways you can modify yourself don’t match with Dark Souls. Actually having significant, meaningful differences in your combat isn’t Dark Souls.

Oh, just insert whatever you remember from reddit. Replies that are obviously jokes but off topic, mimicking a meme or such; doing the ‘follow the link’ meme (though I only remember that one popping up once or twice); sounding out a sentence one word per reply… I saw all of those get panned or promoted. Some people screamed about leaving such habits at reddit, others thought they were the height of humor.

That’s been a welcome change in the last ~6 months. It was a fire hose blast of people going back and forth on whether a ‘thing’ was brought over from reddit, and whether or not it was welcome.

For anyone not believing this, go to https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/consumer and do that consumer report. They are (depending on your state) required to tell you everything they have on you, and they include where it came from. It’s eye-opening.

Sure, facebook has been doing it for years. They build shadow profiles on people, allegedly ‘only’ (massive air quotes around that one) so if those people ever join they’ll have links and photos and such already waiting for them.

Damn you. Cannot unsee.

Texas is pretty dang purple. As others have mentioned, there is some serious voter suppression that goes on. Just take a look at that crazy law that targeted (basically, only) the county that Houston is in, allowing the state administration to throw out their votes.

It definitely counts as an unreasonable change. If you quietly accept it, or quit due to it, you won’t get the help. If you set things up in your favor by replying to the mandate with language along the lines of ‘such a significant change to working conditions requires a renegotiation of my contract’ then you’re placing yourself in a good position to say that you were constructively dismissed, not that you quit.

A change from working wherever you are (which could be hours away if you were full remote) to the office is just as significant as being moved from one metropolis to another.

How is this a bad thing? You’re looking from the top at an alien who has the lord simba tattooed on the scalp. That’s the sort of alien I want coming to earth. They’ll be singing and dancing, interacting with the wildlife, and returning earth to nature as they use the set-phasers-to-kill setting on their happy guns.

You forgot the ‘lots’ portion. It was not a small amount of liquid.

Holy crap, 3500 games‽ I thought I was bad with 1/10 of that and mostly low play hours. I wish I had your organization, because my factorio layout is so bad that I just gave up on trying to be small and well designed. Everything must have miles-long conveyors!
