As someone who teaches chemistry to premeds, this is not surprising at all. To make a sweeping generalization, premeds, med students, and the MDs they become are some of the most entitled, condescending, and oblivious people I've ever met.
There are exceptions of course, but in general, I can't stand most premeds and I really can't stand how our culture puts MDs on a pedestal.
Also, no one is mentioning that there is still a significant amount of "translating" that has to happen. My kids all picked up language pretty quickly, but unless you are familiar enough with their specific pronunciation and vocabulary, it still sounds like baby talk to outsiders.
For example, last night when I got my 2yo out of the bath, he asked me for help putting on his favorite pajamas, if he could have a cookie, and asked to watch his favorite music video before bed, all in one sentence. But if you didn't know he pronounces pajamas as "comfy cozies," cookies are called "treat from under the stairs" and "hear wheelie rainbow neckshun" means watching Willie Nelson's cover of "Rainbow Connection," then of course it would sound like gibberish.
A baby's babbling can express fairly sophisticated grammar and sentence structure if you meet them halfway. And frankly, making it clear that you can understand them expressing their ideas in their own words is highly valuable when it comes to raising healthy, confident kids.
probably won't happen. IANAL, but I seem to recall hearing that most bankruptcy laws have provisions such that you can't be forced to sell your primary residence to pay off a debt.
Believe me, I'm all for using religious imagery when it's appropriate for getting the point across. However, the whole point of OP's statement is lost if it's not made clear that religion itself is the primary source of this evil. Otherwise, "It’s always the Devil who tries to convince everyone that he speaks for God," could just as easily mean "my god is right and yours is the devil."
I'd remove the religious implications and say "it's always those who are most convinced they have a monopoly on Truth who are most dehumanizing to the out-group"
Oh, now I have an idea for a new BBEG: A lich that got to their position by taking advantage of their privilege and refuses to acknowledge it.
Definitely should be fully fleshed out (no pun intended) by flavoring with historical Trump actions like blaming minorities for everything ("that jogger was violently assaulted by these 5 goblins that simply happen to be nearby"), refusing to pay contractors for services rendered ("great job building my phylactery, it would be a shame if you got deported before I paid you"), using populist rhetoric to blame progressives for the problems caused by capitalism ("Minions, I know your wages are low, but it's those adventurers fault for donating gold to the orphanage and causing all this inflation"). When he flees the adventurers, they could be slowed by a magical spell called "malicious litigation" that functions like a web spell on anyone who is not of noble birth.
Minions could also include a ghoul as diplomatic envoy whose hair dye leaks and who accidentally books an event at Four Seasons Total Castle Care and several half-ogre sons who think they are going to inherit his lichdom but are too dumb to see they're first on the chopping block when the chips are down.
My geologist coworker said that agate isn't really a mineral either, mostly because it gets used too broadly and doesn't have one singular chemical composition.
Then again, I'm just an organic chemist, and classifying minerals seems suspiciously like biology to me...
That's great! It's not super helpful for me, though, since I teach students that often aren't good at troubleshooting technology issues on their own so I need an app that's pretty universal and user-friendly. Plus, the question specifically asked about stuff in the Android play store...
CamScanner (intuitive and powerful scanner app that processes images exceptionally well and interfaces cleanly with all sorts of other apps) and Hiper Calc Pro (scientific calculator that shows you your input and looks like a classic calculator interface)
Windhand was my gateway into this whole world, and I couldn't agree more. The first time I heard their stuff, it just blew my mind in a way I hadn't experienced in probably a decade.
I came into metal from metalcore, and there's no faster way to get yourself banned from the metal subs than posting metalcore, so I feel you in the gatekeeping, too. The doom scene really does pull from all sorts of influences and tends to be pretty accepting of a ton of fringe bands and sounds so you get people that are excited to talk about music instead of just shitting on other people's taste. So you get "doom wop," stoner rock, doom 'n' roll, fairy doom, witch metal, caveman battle doom, and so on.
Have fun exploring it all! There's a ton of good shit out there, and for my money, to this day, nothing hits like that first time hearing "Forest Clouds"
Not really all that related, but if you like Panopticon by ISIS, you might also appreciate the best Appalachian atmospheric black metal I've ever heard, Kentucky by Panopticon.
Happy to get you excited with some new music! I've listened to heavy music for decades but it had definitely gotten a little stale for me. It was only in the last 2 years that I discovered stoner/doom as a sub-genre, so I'm not all that far ahead of you. Some really great stuff that is frankly just as heavy but much catchier than most other metal subgenres. I mean, I love me some black/death metal, but I'm just not really getting obsessed with those bands/albums/songs the same way as I can with this slow riff worship you see in stoner/doom.
Pallbearer and Ahab are both pretty good for funeral doom or death/doom (depending on who you ask).
I like a little bit of "epic" doom themes but trad doom, power metal, and actual epic doom are a little too cheesy for me, so I lean toward Conan (very heavy, approaching a sludge-drone hybrid) and Khemmis (who describe their sound as "doomed heavy metal")
I actually usually skew more psychedelic doom or stoner/prog doom, which has a lot of great stuff in the past few decades. Sleep's Holy Mountain (classic stoner metal), Grief's Infernal Flower by Windhand (psych doom), Clearing the Path to Ascend by YOB (heavy stoner/prog), Lore by Elder (very proggy but still catchy).
Also, I assume you've seen the most common recommendations for classic sludge, The Melvins (especially Houdini and Bullhead), Eyehategod, and Side B of My War by Black Flag. If not, get started there
edit: Obviously I've got lots of other fun options in each of these veins, so hmu if you want more
The music is all written by a member of ISIS, which is pretty heavy, but in an "atmospheric sludge/post-metal" way. So I can see how you'd think that if you're looking for something more death metal (which would fit in the fight scenes, although atmospheric sludge or funeral doom would go pretty well in the rest of the game)

"Stop Being Desperate" has a real "Let them eat cake" feel, especially coming from her.
