Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but I also would never think of actually investing in anything Trump.

Shortselling is betting that the stock value falls without actually holding the stock.

That stock is the first time that I actually considered shortselling anything.

I am by no means am expert.
I just went of this:

The halberd is still the ceremonial weapon of the Swiss Guard in the Vatican.

And I am pretty sure that in German they call the weapon of the Swiss Guard Hellebarde.

You will be happy to hear they still use halberds instead.

I mean I guess.

But I always liked the idea of reclaiming stuff from the assholes.
So if people think this template is nice to make memes with, I always enjoyed taking it away from Crowder without giving him the power to stop anyone from using it.
In my eyes he doesn't own this meme, but I can see your point.

So by your own claim you are part of the polytheistic church of Paul?
That just is not catholicism.
Which is so easy to prove because the catholics love to write down their many rules.

So I honestly would just answer right back at you:

FFS read a book.

And btw, while I have been an atheist for many years now, I was raised strictly catholic in a highly religious area by my catholic family that included a catholic nun and the headmaster of a catholic school and I intensively studied christianity before I made my break with this religion.

You can't bullshit me.

Steven Crowder is a well known asshole with an internet presence that he uses to sow misogyny and other forms of hate.

I don't want to see his face in memes.

That asshole shouldn't have a meme, cmm.

Just use Calvin.

Little Bobby Tables is my favorite XKCD strip of all time, and I don't even actively work with databases.

Catholicism is the church of Paul, and isn't strictly monotheistic, trinitarianism and unitarianism aside.

That is just plain wrong, no two ways about it.

To me it sounds like you listened to some protestant that doesn't care much for the catholic church and just repeat his rant without questioning it much.

And don't get me wrong, I couldn't care less about christian infighting. I was just curious about the reasoning how the catholic church, which is one of the oldest and most "original" christian churches, could be considered not christian at all.
After your post I don't believe there is much basis to this claim at all.

Lovecraftian art is inspired by the tone and the mystery of Lovecrafts works and not by his racism.

But that aside I didn't downvote you for your first sentence.
I personally wouldn't even have downvoted you for your second sentence, even though I strongly disagree with it.

I downvoted you for your edit, which ironically is totally tone deaf.
Noone downvoted the fact, that you called the dude some stuff. You got downvoted for attacking Valve over an innocent sale of supernatural mystery games.

Having read some of his works, it sometimes is scarring to read how he pictures arabic or black peope.

He definitely let his personal racism seep into his stories.
So I think the argument can be made, that one shouldn't just consume his works without critically reflecting on the author.

There is one story set in Egypt that I remember, where the open racism kept on breaking my immersion repeatedly.

But I agree that calling Valve tone deaf for highlighting lovecraftian games misses the spot.
Lovecraftian art is inspired by the tone and the mystery of Lovecrafts works and not of his racism.

That is totally new to me.

Can you give me one or two of those many definitions for my understanding?

I am willing to bet that you are simply more used to the imperial system.

I am not convinced that it has any objective advantage over the metric system.

My foot is about 50% larger than my SO's, but I can perfectly invision 30cm whenever I want or need to.

Obama was not a great president unless you mean only by comparison to his recent peers.

With what the fuck else do you want to compare him (or anything really) if not with recent peers?

I had success talking about the tortoise one with imaginary time stamps.

I think it gets more understandable that this pseudo paradox just uses smaller and smaller steps for no real reason.
If you just go one second at a time you can clearly see exactly when the tortoise gets overtaken.

Have they even left yet?

Has anyone else claimed to have done it?

Totally different genre, but I liked how Celeste approached this.

If you struggle to complete it there are tons of accessibility options to make the game more approachable.

And the content necessary to finish the games story is not too much, while giving challenging -well- challenges to anyone who wants to spend more time with the game.

And you clear the game screen by screen making it possible to only play it a short bit at a time.

It's almost a bonus that the story and soundtrack are fucking beautiful.
