I'm not really a crier when it comes to games, but what brought me close most recently was when I was doing a run of the entire Metro trilogy for the first time.
If you're talking within the same day, I would consider it fine to continue talking.
...But if you're talking overnight or longer, I feel like you need a greeting of some kind to acknowledge that the time has passed. I wouldn't call it rude not to, but it's an extra pleasantry.
Exactly. Just because the Founding Fathers decided to play around with the Thesaurus, doesn't mean the president should be able to attempt to coup his own country and then run again the very next election
Exactly. The government isn't your friend. To your government you're a cog in the machine and nothing more - misbehave and they'll rip you out and replace you with another
Because we're becoming increasingly like the US, where half of the country (or at least those who actually turn out to vote) are hellbent on voting for a party that doesn't give a single shit about their needs, just as long as they drivel out some racist shit now and again.
As @breadsmasher said, “Torys fucking the country? Better vote for them again!”
I'm surprised that literally anybody is surprised by the headline that a chemical that is incredibly stable and long-lived (the very reason for using them), and widely used in many different industries and even in home products has ended up everywhere.
With enough time to spread about, this was always going to be the case.
You mean to tell me a country who's entire luxury lifestyle is based almost solely off of oil money has a vested interest in keeping that money flowing no matter the ethical implications?? - colour me shocked!
Who could've known he'd end up doing the exact opposite of what he said by desperately trying to cling to power, even going so far as to try to coup the government
It's genuinely surprising how low the bar is for a Republican to be considered ethical - refusing to vote in the guy who literally tried to pull a coup on your country shouldn't even be an ethical stance, it should be the stance of literallyeveryone
Well that's a great argument until you account for the fact that not only do you still have to pay taxes on top of paying for that healthcare, but the US still has one of the highest average costs of healthcare per person in the world, which means on average you get shit value on what you pay.
It sounds an awful lot like what I've heard people with clinical depression say, a type of self-invalidation of your own emotional state.
OP, you could be the poorest person in the world and you could still find someone who's got it worse. Everyone has problems, but that doesn't mean your problems shouldn't matter to you.
I don't know your situation, but if you hate your job, you should try looking for a new one - even if it's the same thing you're doing now but in a better workplace.
Can we just be done with the fucking Tories already??
Why on Earth over half this country keeps thinking these rich assholes who only want to line the pockets of themselves and their cronies, and sabotage social programs are going to do anything for them I don't know.
Do we really all want to go the way of the Americans where we pay $100s just to see a doctor??
Cause that's what it feels like based on how people are voting.
Even if you could convince a flat Earther to go to space, I suspect the vast majority would not be swayed.
As you suggest, they'd instead likely say that it's all fake trickery. Even if you gave them a space-suit, put the helmet together right in front of them showing no electronics of any kind, and let them walk outside, they'd still say it was all fake trickery.
They would never believe their own eyes, because they've already made up their minds. An allusion to the Earth being round is an illusion.
You don't even need to go to space to prove the Earth is round. As @PonsAelius already said elsewhere in this thread, there was even a show made and funded by Flat Earther's to try loads of different tests, and they ended up rejecting all of them because they accidentally demonstrated that the Earth had to be round.
Their mind is already made, and they'll only accept results that conform to that belief. Anything else is either fake, trickery, or flawed.
Kyle Hill has done so much good in combating the absolute minefield of fearmongering and misinformation surrounding Nuclear power.
As long as you play by the rules, it's incredibly safe. It's when you start taking shortcuts and start fucking around that you find out... and there are plenty of things more likely to kill you than nuclear.
While there may very well be a conspiracist element to this, I suspect that it's simpler than that. For a lot of people music is meant to be their escape from reality, so having reality interject ruins the experience - as such any songs that try to capture that simply don't get as popular, so end up in alternative genres
As others have said, I think that comes down to how people view online conversations.
I personally view them as an extension of in-person conversations, so a lot of the same mannerisms carry over for me.
