People say that aiming with bows is easier? What kind of world do they live in?
I've shot a decent amount of bows and guns, and guns are far easier to shoot. The difference is that because guns are easier to shoot, there's a greater expectation of accuracy. Shooting a bow at 30 meters and hitting your target is considered accurate, shooting a gun at 30 meters is considered nothing.
That being said, I still like archery more. There's just something very personal about the experience of pulling the bowstring and manually making the arrow fly
Even before Trump and Vance lashed out, it was a shitshow. Every time Zelenskyy brought up security, Trump dismissed it because the the minerals were "more important."
European leaders were certainly watching, and their main takeaway was certainly that Trump can and will sacrifice the security of American allies for money.
Europe and many of the US's allies had lower military spending and did not to pursue nuclear programs because there was the expectation that the US would help protect these countries. This was exactly the promise that the US gave to Ukraine that got them to give up their nuclear research.
Now that it's become clear that the US cannot be relied upon for security, many of the US's allies are certain to start reconsidering their stance on the military and nuclear weapons. As US soft power crumbles, I expect that new, smaller factions will arise to fill the void, and I expect that China will likely try to expand its influence as well.
In most native English accents, R is pronounced by curling the tongue very significantly (more than most languages that I'm familiar with). People who aren't used to this (often people who speak English as a second language) won't curl their tongues enough, and the partially curled tongue will end up touching the roof of their mouths. This happens to be how you pronounce L, so in these accents, R and L will end up sounding the same.
Try getting into the habit of curling your tongue more when you pronounce R, and you'll end up hearing a difference
I tend to like using flatpak, but for Steam, I find that installing it through their website (ie, actually going to their website and downloading the install file) is the best way to get Steam
It's a slow burn game. There is a plot, and the plot is really good, but it only becomes clear really late into the game. Instead of the plot, the primary driver of gameplay is learning. I see a lot of people approach the game as though the writings are just flavor text, or just a way to portray a clue to a puzzle. It's really not. You're supposed to seek out the writing because the writing itself scratches the itch of learning. The developers put an incredible amount of attention to the entire game, and paying close attention and thinking through the implications of the text will reveal the plot points and lore. Basically, you play for the knowledge, and then only later does it become clear that everything that you've been doing was actually advancing the plot. And you'd want to remember what you learned so that the plot makes sense
All this to say, there is a wrong way to play the game, and that is to treat the game like nothing more than something to be completed. If you're feeling a bit lost, yeah, that's kind of the point. You decide which thread is most interesting to you. All I will say is that any thread that you pull will eventually converge onto the plot, so feel free to pursue another thread if you get stuck or if you get bored of the current thread that you're pursuing.
Also, remember that in space, there's no friction, so however long it takes for you to speed up, that's how long it takes for you to slow down.
If you gave it a genuine shot and it really just doesn't click with you, then perhaps just watch a Let's Play. I think it does eventually click with most people, but I acknowledge that some people just don't like the weight of making truly unguided decisions like the game is expecting you to make
That has not been my experience, but I acknowledge that your family likely has different dynamics than mine. Speaking at least from my experience, I can at least tell you that the conservatives I know have an exceptionally hollow sense of happiness.
Still a pathetic cope, but at least it's a sometimes-true pathetic cope
Normal and OK are different things. My personal belief is that there are more bad parents than people think there are. So perhaps what you describe might be normal. But that's definitely not OK.
I disagree. Conservatism (and to a greater extent Nazism) are built on fear and hatred. The Republican party knows that and spends significant money and effort to make people as fearful as possible. The Republicans may win but they are fundamentally unhappy. Their happiness, if you can really call it that, is primarily Schadenfreude at "sticking it to the libs"
Thanks for calling this out. I keep seeing political posts where the intent is clearly not to obtain answers but to obtain agreement. It makes me think that these people are attempting to karma farm.
Back on reddit, wasn't there a rule that questions had to be genuine? ie, rhetorical posts (like we see now) are not allowed? Perhaps it would make sense to start enforcing such a rule
I think the intention is that the switch is not going to be immediate, and so there will be a stretch of time where some places use renewable sources of energy and some places still use non-renewables. There's nothing you can do if your neighbor doesn't switch, other than to try to capture their carbon output
Yes - there's a workaround for this. I install games onto NTFS drives all the time. You just need to symlink the Steam compatibility folder on your main drive to the one on the NTFS drive. It's called the Proton NTFS workaround
There's a specific life history strategy called semelparity, which is what you're describing (breeding once then dying). To my understanding, this is incentivized if the chances of getting a second attempt to breed are too low, and so it becomes more evolutionarily advantageous to simply go all out on the first attempt
There's a concept in Japanese called chuunibyou, which translates to "8th grade syndrome." Basically, teenagers (and especially early teenagers) are exceptionally cringe. Frankly, I feel reasonably confident that everyone has at least several memories that keep them up at night from that time in their lives. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
