If you were looking for reciprocation you weren't being altruistic. The whole point of altruism is that you're improving the lives of others despite not recieving anything in kind. It's not meant to be "worth it".

LLCs are specifically unincorporated associations, i.e not corporations.

Computing in general. You're telling me you taught a rock to say "yesnonoyesyesnoyes" into a wire and that makes Final Fantasy appear on my TV? Yeah right. Obviously it's just magic.

Individual Trump rallys still convinced people to vote for him. Or are you saying that running for president in 4 years is what Booker's doing about Trump?

You can't even build a "Good" system once and expect it to provide you with rights by itself. It would still require well-meaning, educated, active, and organized constituents to continuously stand up for what is right, prevent corruption and abuses of power, etc.

Keep following the train of thought. If a good system requires well meaning, educated, active members to keep it going, then a good system is one that produces those people.

Actually, on second thoughts, this comment explicitly proves that you're a reactionary hiding their lack of investigation behind accusations of immaterialism - just by applying your own logic to real world numbers, you've gone from a day to half a week. You have no place opining on this subject.

Yeah, you'll notice that your "massive" 22°F is the difference between direct sunlight and no sunlight. Do you think there's another sun to take away after the first one, to get rid of even more sunlight and drop the temperature another 22°?
Why don't you believe that physical materials are capable of holding heat energy? Why did you latch on to atmosphere and ground instead of the biggest energy store on the planet, the ocean (you don't need to answer that we know it's because those are the ones I named)? Why do you think that the temperature difference between day and night - sunlight and no sunlight - is the same as the general rate at which energy is lost from the planet? Have you not ever been outside at night to discover the largest part of the temperature drop happens as soon as the sun disappears?

You're doing a very good job of the typical liberal application of raw, familiar logic to a new situation, but the only part of it you actually understand is that the sun supplies lots of energy, and haven't made it any further than that.

that article is the peak of liberal honkey reasoning

Every single government will genocide 99.99999999999% of their population

I'm gonna be real, I started thinking about responding to the tiny relevent bit at the start (it's got a big picture to help you understand the interdependence you're talking about), but your histrionics about justifying the hypothetical are pretty funny. Like sib nobody's talking about how humanity would survive in the ridiculous hypothetical, we're just talking about the physics of heat loss.

Lmao, it's the same as rosbif.

The ENTIRE PLANET does not cool by more than a degree from a few clouds you absolute moron. We're not talking about your local microclimate, we're talking about the entire world. This is as dumb a response as saying it snowed recently, so global warming isn't real.

Read the article before trying to be a fucking smartarse. It gives specific numbers for geothermal radiation.

You are also forgetting the atmosphere and ground (and oceans, of course) - It being one huge interconnected energy system is exactly why I'm saying it would take longer. This guy's calculations reckon we'd lose about 1 degree per 12 hours. January's global average temperature was around 13°, so that'd be 6 and a half days. July last year it was 17°, so that'd be a whole 8 and a half days. It's going to be more like a week.

I was never particularly bothered about the skulls in the Halo series, except Grunt Birthday Party. The games just aren't right without that occasional pop and cheer.

I honestly think you're forgetting the atmosphere and like, physical ground under our feet. It doesn't generally drop to 0C overnight unless it's already pretty close to 0C because of the heat trapped in the atmosphere and emanating from the earth's core. It's going to be more like a week for most places.

I think you can edit everything except which community you posted it to.

Last year, SUG dispatched this same dossier to the FCA. It allegedly demonstrates a substantial risk of forced labour within Shein’s supply chain, a factor that SUG argues should preclude the retailer from listing on the LSE.

So no actual evidence of forced labour, just a possibility it exists.

The Chronicon of Marcellinus Comes, apparently. Not sure why.

Major spoilers for A2, but it opens at a school in the town of St. Ivalice before the protagonist awakens in Ivalice roughly circa ffxii. It eventually turns out that another kid at school found a magic book or something and recreated the world as they want it to be, so you have to get them to wake up to return the world to how it was.

Theres nothing in the game to clarify whether that means any of the events happened in the timeline or not, or what it means for the other games.

Somewhere between most and all of the Ivalice games are confirmed to take place in the same timeline, though the entire place may just be a child's dream so :shrug:

The timeline is something like XII->tactics a2->tactics->vagrant story->tactics advance, with legendary events between a2 and tactics that lock off magic.

Revenge was my favourite. Not for the racing, but because when you crashed you could explode your car to fuck up the competition.
