You just made an enemy for life!
Fucking what?
It is well documented that the more educated someone is, the more likely they are to vote for left-wing politics. https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2016/04/26/a-wider-ideological-gap-between-more-and-less-educated-adults/
Thus the right’s war on education. They want uneducated masses to inundate with propaganda, not critical thinkers.
Also I think your definition of “nerd” is absurdly narrow. Dictionary says it’s someone who is either highly enthusiastic about a particular topic or someone who is boringly studious. That’s like, virtually everyone with a college degree. People tend to major in things they’re enthusiastic about. Or, if they’re just after the “best” diploma, they’re probably in the “boringly studious” category.
You can be a nerd about anything, and I’d actually wager most people are a nerd about at least one thing. It’s not limited to the categories you arbitrarily selected to make your point (without any actual evidence presented, I might add).
So all of the good that Biden has already done for unions means nothing to you unless he does one specific thing for one union? Biden has been amazing for unions, I really don’t see why this is your line in the sand.
Meanwhile in Wisconsin I have to pay an extra $100/yr for registration because I drive a hybrid.
Why?
Because, I shit you not, driving a hybrid apparently costs the state too much money, because we have to fuel up less, and so they get less tax.
What the fuck.
I’m a big gamer, and was a massive HP fan. I did not buy the game, or even consider it, specifically because of JKR’s bullshit.
I may be in the minority, but I guarantee I’m not the only one in this boat. So now you’ve talked to someone who cares, if you count this as talking.
And just to say a little more, no I didn’t crusade against the game, nor do I villainize people who bought it and enjoyed it. I do think it’s possible to enjoy art without liking the artist. Hell, my favorite book series of all time is the Ender’s Game series, and Orson Scott Card is probably just as bad as JKR, though maybe not quite as famous/public about it.
But I can’t bring myself to buy it. I’m trans, and her rhetoric, and how public it is, has been specifically harmful to me, directly. But that’s just me. I won’t tell other people how to live their lives or enjoy their free time, so long as they’re not actively hurting others. And no, I don’t consider buying a game where one person who is profiting from it might spend a sliver of that profit on anti-trans BS to be actively harming others, especially when she already has enough money to do whatever the hell she wants anyways.
This doesn’t make a dent, and ethical consumption under capitalism is impossible anyways. I just hope that some portion of people who bought the game heard about the protests and maybe donated a fraction of what they paid for the game to some pro-LGBTQ groups. I have to believe there’s at least a handful of people like that. I do believe that people are mostly good, and want to do good.
Yeesh, I wrote a lot more than I planned to here. I’ll stop now lol.
Lol. Yes I am! How did you know?? 😜
Not sure how uncommon you’re looking for, but I think I already did this.
I chose Sage.
According to some quick googling (read: not sure how accurate this is), Sage wasn’t in the top 500 names for my birth year, but my given name was top 100.
Though both names I’ve used have been trending towards more common for most of my life. Looks like my original name is now a top 35 most common, but Sage is still outside the top 100 for females and outside top 300 for males.(Really wish there was more data for the popularity of nonbinary names. I think Sage is probably one of the more popular enby names, so maybe it’s not all that uncommon, depending on how you define it.)
I guess I probably have more experience than the average player, about 25 hours so far. But I also learned my 3rd point the hard way, by doing ~10 hours of research outside of playing to try to optimize. It mostly just drove me crazy, but I did pick up a lot of little helpful tidbits. So if anyone has any general gameplay questions I’m happy to do my best to answer!
Just know I definitely don’t consider myself an expert by any means. I’m not even at the level cap yet.
Oh that’s my bad. I missed what community this was in. I don’t have any steam deck specific knowledge.
I’ve heard about some performance issues on multiplayer servers for console users, but iirc most people don’t have issues for single player. Wish I could say more but I’ve only played on PC, sorry.
Without the sun, we never would have existed. Can something that didn’t exist be dead? I think no. Silly sun, narcissistic asshole and bad at logic.
Sports at the top level already are dominated by rich kids. Wealth is actually more likely to lead to athletic advantages than being a trans woman.
Hmm, this link might be dead. Search for “Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport - Transgender Women Athletes and Elite Sport” and it should pop up.

Palworld is mine. I’ve been loving it so far.
I’d say a couple things though:
Don’t expect perfection. It’s still early access and there are bugs. They put out a patch last night that fixed some of the most glaring issues, but there’s still some wonky stuff. I’d recommend, when you build your base, to keep all the workstations that pals use on the ground level, and build your ceiling/second floor two units high. Some larger pals can’t get through single tall doorways.
Feel free to play around with your server settings if you want things a little easier/harder (but I’d say definitely turn off structure decay right away, and maybe increase pal spawn rate slightly, mine is at 1.2x and feels good). The game is almost entirely customizable to what you want it to be, everything between super casual fun and hardcore survival is easy to set up.
Don’t stress about min/maxing everything just yet. First of all, you probably simply don’t need it while leveling up. Second, people don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about yet. There are conflicting sources for the best of pretty much everything. So just play how you like (but I’d say wait until you have a pal you know you’ll use endgame before powering it up with essence/condensing, those can’t be refunded to my knowledge).
Oh, they think lawyers know about the loopholes, it’s actually a part of their brainwashing. They believe the entire legal profession is a giant conspiracy, that we’re taught how to get away with not paying for stuff in law school, and that we intentionally deceive the public so that they don’t find out how corrupt we are.
Cuz, y’know, it’s super easy to keep a conspiracy going in ~200 law schools, each of which admits hundreds of students at a time, and nobody ever drops out and feels spiteful enough to leak the “truth.” Yup.
No, I want you to provide a source that says Go was invented in Korea. I also checked Wikipedia, and several other sites about Go, because you made me curious, since I had always heard it was invented in China.
Everything I’ve seen has said it was invented in China.
As opposed to your source which is… “Trust me bro.”
They asked for your source, not why theirs was wrong. You still haven’t provided one.
Okay well I just uploaded it to an imgur album. Here you go: https://imgur.com/a/yoJch6n
My only experience with one wasn’t all that bad, but still kind of funny.
Client was charged with resisting/obstructing and disorderly conduct. Basically, the cops had closed a road because of an accident. Client was on his bike, and the officer told him the road was closed and he had to go a different way. Client flipped his shit, started yelling that the officer had no right to tell him where to go (yes they do), and no right to ask for identification (yes, they do).
Client finally started going an alternate route, and the officer was going to just let it go. But then he doubled back and tried to blow past the officer. Got arrested. Hired us.
I called the prosecutor to see what kind of reduction they’d be willing to do (standard procedure), and they were willing to drop one charge and reduce the other to an ordinance violation (pay a small fine).
Told the client this, who then flipped out on me for talking to the prosecutor without his consent (???) and without him there (which is, y’know, what he hired us to do). Fired our firm and demanded a refund. We all had a good laugh, and he did not get a refund.
Yep, this is a common expression, and I fully endorse it.
This was clever. You deserve more credit than a couple upvotes, so have a comment too!
