When I read this, I thought you were being naive with the first half, thinking that any employer would give a shit, but then you gave me new hope by citing the grim rationale of the corpocrat. Thank you for this breath of fresh, cynical air. A much-needed, realist break from the glitter-bomb hope porn I expected

I'm 30, and I've seen them twice in my life in-person. However, I believe that they were in very old buildings. Can't remember exactly where, though, since they were both over ten years ago.

Oh, is THAT what that fucking blue splotch everywhere in win11 is? Just an appalling amount of smurf cum, spewing waves of blue jism into the UI at every opportunity?

What an interesting position. So, ultimately, you feel that, if you can't personally shatter the laws of reality and time, then you don't have "agency"? I literally cannot even imagine trying to DM for you. I feel so sorry for your past DMs. The story's either collaborative, or it's not, and it seems you are just completely unwilling to collaborate within the confines of a given world. You don't want to play RPGs, you just want to write fanfiction.

For me, the problem is that, given that the mat is OBVIOUSLY flexible, it seems nigh impossible to securely tie down so that the torque when extended doesn't force the mooring lines out of place.

If it's stupid and it works, then it's a stupid thing that works.

If this unexploded land mine doesn't go off and kill me the moment it gets jostled, then it's not dangerous, is it?

I think you might have misunderstood: they hatch chicks to raise into chickens, but any chick that's male can't lay eggs, so why keep them around? They throw the male chicks, live and within hours of their birth, into an industrial blender.

I believe that the trolley portion is partly subtext: notice how, unlike in the traditional problem, there's nobody ON the other track. This is a variant where you must risk/accept personal annihilation of self to cause someone else identical to yourself to save five lives. It does add a layer, but I think it would be better to explicitly state the actual sacrifice, rather than asking the trite question.

How disgustingly pitiful a position, to be so categorically incapable of understanding cultures other than your own, that you can only imagine comparing them to animals. How outdated you must feel. I suppose we should expect nothing less from someone with such a cringe-inducing self-concept that they literally call themselves a 'warrior of kek'. I gag in sorrow at your impotence and turpitude. Perhaps it would be better if you stopped your own 'mooing', you sad, lost child.

They know. They're being purposefully disingenuous and dimwitted. We all know that white phosphorus has rained from the skies since 2005. We know that every inch of settler encroachment was paid for with blood sacrifice not by the settler, but with the blood of the native people of the region, and this is all perpetrated as a holocaust on the altar of Zionism.

They do not, just ad-hominems.

The babadook. It's a fairly poignant metaphor for grief and the ways it affects us.

The ACTUAL answer to your question is this: see how the draped gown cascades down directly from her arms? The developers realized that, if it were a real statue, her arms would need supports, so they figured that the original masons would have used the flowing shape of cloth to support her arms, like Cristo Redentor, which has sleeves hanging down to cantilever its arms against its torso.

Thank you for the edit! That edit was very helpful for me to read.

The "cause" appeared to be appealing to the idea that piracy from sports companies hurts the poor players, who are just there to get paid, because whatever would the world do if Josh Allen made a few dollars less off of his $55 million per year deal?

However, given your clarification, I take less issue with your premise. I maintain that it was a bad comparison to actors, and that the companies within the oligopoly over sports broadcasting are all, universally and without equivocation, awful, the players are insultingly overpaid, the entire system needs to be dismantled, and that any action taken to undercut them is an axiomatic good.

1. That's a completely false equivalency, since the entire point of movie production is NOT a competition. Sports, however, is literally all about competition through feats of athletics and strategy.
2. The discussion about the egregious insultingly high salaries both of the highest-paid actors and sportballers is one that we can have, but I do not think that one will go well for your cause.
3. I'm gonna need some sources cited that the main reason the majority of people watch sports is for "the drama".

I am confused. You are not the OP?

OHH THE OG OOP.

Perhaps. The issue I perceive is that, for corporations, evil deeds are only illegal if you get caught and the government actually pursues you. Then, the most the corpos face is a fine, and remember: if the penalty for doing something illegal is a flat fine, then it isn't a punishment, it's a price.

Thus, this corporation has indicated its clear intent to sell me to the highest bidder. I would not give them a chance to do so. A "do not agree" button is just that: a "do not agree button".

AH, I see. So, it already existed, but until trees evolved, it wasn't used to such an extreme extent.
