Nintendo has had gyros since the NES. I swear it made a difference when we moved tge controller around!

I feel like the thought processes would be switched. The rogue would be convincing the paladin that the murders are righteous.

Sure, if you're actually being safe and following good security practices, the risk is low, but the average user does not follow all the best practices.

Which is the same reason they make characters of different races, genders and sexualities in video games.

And people complain about these things "being forced on them" obviously without realizing that all those minorities are typically not represented in media. It's such a minor thing that should be easy to ignore if it doesn't apply to you, but when it does apply, feels good to know that someone was thinking about representing someone like you.

Matt Groening said he made the characters in the Simpsons yellow with oddly colored hair so that people would be confused by the colors and try to adjust the knobs on their TVs to fix it only to never get it quite right.

No balls, you won't do it!

It's just because caliber is a real word, but calibur isn't. It's been used for a long time in different media to name swords after King Arthur's sword Excalibur.

I think the implication is that 50% of people don't have testicles.

He'll get sued by Apple for infringing on their OS X trademark, and he'll invent laws claiming he's in the right, and he'll lose billions, and then he'll claim he invented Linux and he's a genius.

It's not higher because it doesn't "hold up" since it's not even fully released yet. It's still in Early Access since 2021.

The chickenpox virus persists in your body and can surface decades later as shingles. Look up what that experience is like if you want. I can assure you it's not pleasant. Once you get that, there's no getting rid of it. Children should NOT be made to purposely catch chickenpox. It puts them at rsignificant risk of debilitating disease later on.

One vaccine is effective at preventing both, and there's no real reason not to get it unless you're allergic to the ingredients.

Sure, serves them, but what about the vaccinated people who were infected because of them?

Back in my day, our parents made us get it, and it suckd pretty bad.

A chickenpox infection lingers in the body and can surface years later as shingles, which can be debilitating, especially for older adults. Having personally had shingles as a teenager when it's not dangerous, I can assure you that you don't want to get it because someone else refused to get vaccinated. When I had it, vaccines for chickenpox and shingles didn't exist yet.

I can't really endorse literally forcing vaccinations, but penalties for not being vaccinated are ok in my book.

Jakrajutatip appears to agree, saying, “We can have real-size beauty, the contestant. Very big size … [But] we’ll have to control the audience [lest] they vote all for the big size.”

I haven't seen the video, so I can't really tell from text what the tone is, but these words are pretty damning, and I'm curious what context they could be in that they would seem ok. It doesn't sound to me like she's saying the likelihood is low, it sounds like she's saying "if you don't fit our definition, we don't want you to win."

Please send a self-addressed stamped envelope to request permission. Expect 6 to 8 weeks for delivery of response.

As I understand it, they don't need to ask permission, but they need to make an actual attempt at a diplomatic resolution before making the formal request. If that doesn't go to their liking, then they would speak to the judge.

It should have been a formality, because in all likelihood, the defense would have politely told the prosecutors to get fucked, but they really shouldn't have skipped that step.

Greetings, traveler.
