It's just called bread.

BREAD DOESN'T NEED TO BE SWEET. Please. Especially not cheese toast.

When I briefly lived in China one of the first things expats would ask is if you've tried KFC yet. I don't eat meat but almost every Westerner I met raved about how much better fast food is in china.

I used to get fast food fries occasionally in Australia, then stopped when I moved to the US cause the quality was much worse. I started again Taiwan.

Dead spiders also make excellent "necrobots" because their leg joints are pneumatic so very easy to control mechanically.

We could live in a world where bird drones have eight-fingered hands made from spider corpses.

The corner! Why didn't I think of that?

Comments online aren't important enough to be worth deleting.

That's some flacid data.

Vertically.

Don't touch public things and then put your fingers in your mouth.

Health and safety gone mad!

Well completely unrelated is maybe an overstatement.

English and Chinese is the common example of unrelated "mama"s, but there is a non zero chance that they are distantly related - beyond the time depths accessable by the comparative method of linguistics.

It could be that "mama" or a very similar word dates back to like Ancient North Eurasians or some older population ancestral to both Chinese and English speakers.

If any one word could survive that long, some form of "mom" is a good candidate, but yeah the most popular theory is that something about the "m" sound makes it more likely to be in the word mama.

There was a study from Princeton showing that no major policy has aligned with public opinion since the civil rights era.

There is no measurable way that our government has reflected the will of the majority in over 50 years.

I don't know how he can live with himself.

There's a thing our brains do when we have power like wealth, status, fame, etc. - the parts responsible for empathy are suppressed. The rich and powerful are neurologically less capable of considering the suffering of others.

People mostly believe whatever is in their interest to believe. No one's beliefs are 100% internally consistent.

Sinking a ship is a dramatic overreaction to accessing unclassified Treasury documents.

We spy on China as well, we just don't make announcements like "in retaliation we're going to continue hacking their shit too".

Besides, if china needs to know anything actually important they can just ask putin to ask any member of trump's cabinet.

Lol, this is my first time hearing about this game. On gog.com it has 1.8/5 score, or 4.8 from verified owners.

That would suggest that most people who've played it liked it well enough.

underage and the prostitute is committing statutory rape

So the ethical issue for you is that it's illegal?

decide as a society that any underage can make the decision to hire a prostitute or none of them can

As a society we've decided that no one outside of Nevada can hire a prostitute, regardless of age. But again, this argument sounds like your point of view is that breaking the law is unethical - or have I misunderstood?

I went on a few dates with someone who started randomly chatting with me at the train station.

I feel like this sort of thing happened more before cellphones.

Endocannibalism - eating people from your own group -has been practised as a respectful part of funerial traditions by a handful of cultures across the world and may have been more widespread in prehistory.

Totally unethical

What specifically do you feel is unethical in this situation?

I'm curious because for me, behavior that harms no-one cannot be unethical. I see no harm, so I'm very interested to know what part flags it as unethical for you?
