I think all the lines (except Overground etc) share rolling stock, and just change the number of train cars, so it's impossible to tell

edit: this has been a slow process since 2010, so they are slowly converting to "S-Stock" from previous stock. I've not lived in London for a decade now, so I can't comment first hand, but I recall the District/Circle lines used to be different to the Northern/Central lines. I dont know if that's changed.

Cone count is my guess. Of the photoreceptors in the eye - Rods see in low-light and cones see in color. Some animals lack or have different cones compared to humans. Hence why bees can see "bee purple"

on the other hand, a lot of HP Lovecraft is a metaphor for "Italians and black people being somewhat near white people"

The fish people are a metaphor for mixed race people, etc

what a cunt.

it's obvious he doesn't even understand what a refugee is

and then goes on to say "why would you add people to your country that don't speak the language" in English and not the native tongue of the tribe that the land was stolen from

and what the fuck did he think happened to Poles who moved to the US 100 years ago? They weren't even considered "white."

I think it's the arm covers. Reminder to read top right to bottom left, so the final shot is the dude's eyes

it's a copypasta meme from 2020ish

        "Energy constantly flows through the crystal. You're not fighting with a simple blade as much as you are directing a current of power." ―Sabine Wren and Kanan Jarrus on the Darksaber, Rebels: s3e15 Trials of the Dark Saber


  

I'm sure there are other references, too, but for it to be a power current it needs to flow to and from a terminus. See also the Tagge Protoblade in which the energy circles around a metal core (internally referred to as the corn dog lightsaber) instead of being a sword

It was Noah Webster, of the dictionary fame, for the same reason as colo[u]r and cent[re/er] - to put a new identity post revolution on American English

another note on the light Saber blade: it's actually a long spinning loop like a narrow '0' or the eye of a needle, which is why it doesn't disconnect

I lived near Brixton, South London. There was an immediate street party.

great copypasta. fits any game.

for hearthstone: swap "perfects on 8⭐️" for "legend in wild", "players on YouTube can get top 100 NA standard legend", "why don't you marry Unnerfed Jaina or Boulderfist Oger"

for destiny: "gone to the light house", "solo dungeons", "marry Eris or Savathun"

etc

plus a lot of Egyptian pronunciation was made up in the 1930s, and nowadays we know differently but the original names stuck

I have bad news for you about how much nature cares about being smart or a good parent

I can't be fucked to type it all out but I was about to write a fake reinventing of the S&P500 and 401ks - which is the "safe" [citation needed] version

eh it's one day a week and I'm respected and appreciated in other contexts it's just the one day because the boss is convinced it enables the team.

one CXO is playing the music, the COO hides in the corner by the swag storage, the CEO has a private office not connected to the main bullpen, the two VPs don't care or are joining in

right now I am hiding in a call booth in my office on our one in person day a week because the rest of the office is singing along to achy breaky heart while two junior employees throw lifesaver mints at each other.

if I wanted to only play half my games at twice the price for only a few years on hardware i can't upgrade with fewer functions and content due to exclusivity, I would buy a console

I didn't play Stardew valley because she star on my valley til I dew
