I fail to see how it ever made sense.

Its not water vapor, nor is it dangerous to inhale water vapor. Vaping is not safe, but you don't make a very good argument as to why. The person you're responding too is also partially correct although they are wrong that vaping is completely harmless. People are often led to believe its more harmful that it truly is because health problems relating to black market marijuana cartridges were falsely attributed to normal vapes.

If this were a thing, I would have wasted years of my life learning musical instruments and foreign languages. The reason those skills are rewarding to have is because you have to work for them. My skill levels in these things are a reflection of how I spend my time and who I am as a person. If that was just erased, and everyone could be good at everything, then I wouldn't be anyone anymore.

Unreal is open source, although it isn't free. I would certainly prefer it to unity though.

How is this racist? I don't doubt that you're right but I'm not understanding what makes that racist. Are black people significantly more likely to have crack than cocaine or something? At first glance it seems logical to me that cocaine has less of a punishment than crack, but that's based off of a somewhat limited understanding of the effects of the two drugs.

The downside of being concerned about privacy is that it can be very inconvenient. I don't think its so awful to try to minimize that, making it more accessible to people that wouldn't otherwise bother.

I just created an account without even adding an email address. I assumed that's what most people did

What are his horrendous bigoted views? I don't remember him saying anything that bad.

I interpreted the "stricter" definition as just being more intense. Like its only used to describe someone who reads constantly, and knows nearly everything about literature. Or someone who is almost obsessively studying math, or chess theory. Or someone who is very interested in numerous "nerdy" things.

Maybe that's not what they meant, I'm not sure. You're right, their wording is kind of ambiguous.

I don't think they mean it to be negative. I assumed they mean its used more loosely now and has lost some of the meaning it used to have as a result. They can't find a more fitting word for what they want to say, so they just specify they mean the stricter definition of the word nerd.

I fear that rich people may have to be slightly less rich, truly a horrifying inconvenience.

You could try ds/dsi games that are designed for touch screen. I've played Pokémon black without many issues. Apart from that, if you have the option to use a pc, it will be a better experience. The benefit of using your phone is just that its mobile. I usually bring an xbox controller with me when I travel so I can play whatever game I want.

I highly recommend emulating games on your phone. Some of them aren't great without a controller but its worth a shot.

I've had one conversation with people from hexbear, and it was surprisingly positive. They made real arguments and were very polite. It was the exact opposite of everything I've heard about them. Maybe that's rare, I don't really know.

aye

Well according to you, being natural and having a long history means its safe. Are you now saying that maybe a substance's origin has nothing to so with how dangerous it is?

I assumed you meant churches as all places of worship. If you meant you want to only tax Christians, then I completely disagree with you.

What is the hydra in this situation? Is it just the concept of evil?

I dont think the churches that just sit and read a book are really deserving of a "flood". I also wouldn't call taxes a flood though, so I'm not opposed to that.

There is no religious conflict at all with taxing churches.

You gave one example for one religion. I don't necessarily think taxing churches is a bad idea, but I don't think that's a great argument for it.
