Progressive is often used as a blanket term that basically means that you are farther left than the Democratic party. Not that he doesn't like progress, just that he is not pursuing the end of capitalism or something in that direction if even slightly.

My first thought for the first one is that a malicious devil will just reply that n=1.

50% of my messages here on Lemmy.

I'd guess more like 25% of messages at work and 75% on the discord server I use with IRL friends are deleted without being posted.

I actually think that's what they called Mario deluxe for the WII U. Definitely look into it before buying a 2nd copy of the same game like I did. I mean, I've 100%ed it a few times now but still I wish I knew it was the same.

In fact, it's better on the Wii u. Player 2 can either play as a Luigi or play as god on the Wii pad. Putting down tiles and making the game dead easy.

Overcooked is only fun if everyone is terrible or everyone is great. It's a great concept but definitely not going to work out for most groups.

For Mario kart, did you put on some bots? Without the NPCs, 2 player is lame, even if you are both quite good.

Have you played It Takes Two? This sounds like it hits your requirements.

For couch coop, I'd actually suggest Mario Deluxe over the very recent Mario Wonder if you wanted to try a side scroller. Wonder is great, but it's couch coop is poorly implemented unless you are both good or both terrible as with overcooked. Deluxe doesn't have that issue, in my opinion, due to the way the scrolling works in game. It might feel odd spending $60 on a 10 year old game from the WII U, but Nintendo originals always hold up well.

I suggest memes as in the Richard Dawkins original definition, not funny haha memes but shared reproducible culture. We are social creatures, more than any other, and our social development has happened far more quickly than typical evolution ever could.

Quite a bit of human development has been in the category of nurture, as opposed to nature. While humans have changed little biologically, I have an "appendage" in my hand that can communicate with an individual in space. Memes replicate and evolve much more quickly than genes do.

A light. Don't be a savage :P

I agree that it is a limitation of the nature of federated software. All the same, it makes me nervous to interact. I would feel much better if it wasn't every instance owner, but just the owner of the one your account came from, or perhaps the one you were interacting with. I'm not anonymous enough to feel comfortable.

I don't vote much on any posts or comments for exactly this reason. I wish it wasn't this way.

The post is the exact format chat gpt uses to provide lists. You are right on the money with this one.

Well Kelvin makes some math much easier. Formulas look pretty if you don't need to remove 213 a bunch of times.

You answered it yourself. Police policy.

He isn't heavy enough to make that much of a difference before he grabs the ledge, is he? If the helicopter can manage lift, his 200 lbs shouldn't make that much difference. It's the part before he grabs the ledge that bothers me in this clip

It's those first seconds I am referring to. The pole does make more sense to me. Also not a physicist, but it irks me just the same.

Yes! This seems like the right movie. For a few seconds before he grabs the pole, he does just lean back, right? That is the part that concerns me the most. At least this in the image seems doable if somebody is cap strong and angry.

Bad physics. Totally pulls me out of immersion.

No, Captain America cannot lean back and hold a helicopter that is lifting off. It doesn't matter how strong he is - he will be lifted once there is enough force generated from the propellers. Basically anything Batman does that involves gravity in the Nolan films is similar.

The magic I can get behind. The mutant stuff or dragons or even time travel in superhero movies doesn't bother me. It's the lack of sensible mechanics on an alleged Earth that I'm bothered by.

My first thought was Pirate Latitudes, a book written by Michael Chricton, author of Jurassic Park. Never saw a movie adaptation but he is the Stephen King of sci fi, so maybe someday. Also my favorite book of his, despite what others may say

Storage could be measured in what is needed for various files. They would have to be of various sizes, but not linearly increasing much like inch, foot, yard.

Launch Codes, Pledge of Allegiances, Constitutions, God Bless the U.S.As, Average individual's Patriot Act file (Pafs for short), etc.
