That's... Not a very promising roadmap...

Almost. A sudden shift from skill and quality to speed and turnaround wins out in the short run, just long enough to make number go up, cash the checks, and take the golden parachute out while leaving your underlings and consumers holding the bag.

Well, ethanol was, literally, called the "Water of Life"

My time has come. As someone who almost exclusively listens to instrumental soundtrack from movies and games, including from games I have never played, these are the ones that most often get stuck in my head (in no particular order). A plus "+" indicates a song that got stuck in my head regularly before I ever played the game, while an asterisk "" indicates a song that still gets stuck in my head, despite being from a game I have never played at all.

1. Baba Yetu - Civ IV (+)
2. Hyrule Castle - Breath Of The Wild (+)
3. Lorule Castle - Link Between Worlds ()
4. One Final Effort - Halo 3 ()
5. Golem King - Moonlighter
6. Song of the Ancients - Nier Series ()
7. Dragonborn - Skyrim
8. Far Horizons - Skyrim (+)
9. Dragon Roost Island - Wind Waker ()
10. Nate's Theme - Uncharted ()
11. Gusty Garden Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy ()
12. Korobeiniki - Tetris (+)
13. Gerudo Valley - Ocarina of Time (+)
14. Colgera Battle - Tears of the Kingdom
15. This Song - The Witcher 3 (It's the song Aen Seidhe, but without vocals)
16. Bloody Tears - Castlevania ()

But finally, the song that I credit with making me obsessed with instrumental soundtrack, because I fell asleep with it playing on repeat for a whole night at the age of 5, and then lost the game cartridge, so I forgot what it was from, and which I would get stuck in my head roughly once a month throughout my entire childhood until I finally found the song THIRTEEN YEARS LATER:

Ω) Town Theme - Final Fantasy II

Healing Wood

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sure... Repairs damage to doors and furniture...

Tell this to fucking New Zealand.

Yes, monster myths have always held the function of moral lessons for the many cultures that birthed them. The Wendigo is a moral metaphor for the taboo against eating human flesh, and the necessity of working together through harsh winters, as opposed to greedy wendigo, that works only to sate itself, and thus is cursed never to be sated. The Vampire is a moral warning against demanding excess in all things carnal, monetary, and gluttonous, and for this reason it resonated with Victorian england. The zombie, however, was originally just someone who had been drugged into submission. The modern zombie does, however, make an excellent metaphor for herd mentality and "us-vs-them". We change our monsters (or make new ones) to fit the social mores and taboos of the culture of the time. There is a reason that many examples of "The Monster" in literature focus not on the actual villainy of the Monster, but on the villainy of the other humans in the story. Monsters are a mirror, held up to the face of the reader, demanding that we stare at the worst parts of what it is to be human.

Yeah, there were a couple of tiny decisions, any of which failed you out if you got them wrong, and several of them had deceptive descriptions during the QTE.

I was under the impression that it wasn't Victorian London, but The Plague Year. IIRC she, canonically, brings a blanket infested with plague lice from here to there, and ends up dropping it next to the ship Catriona, which is how the Catriona plague actually gets started. It was one of those "oh shit, yes, that explains everything" moments for me when I first read the books.

I think that the thing that let them down was that they didn't actually get to participate in any discussion or consensus-building. I think that the ideal scenario to solve this issue is a quick chatroom amongst simultaneous players, in which topics for discussion are briefly discussed for a few minutes, then voted on, like a real jury. It could include deliberation, but the question writer would only see the verdict. I will tell you that I would personally play this if it followed this method:

Make it fewer players per question (like 5 or 7), so that it doesn't take an hour. Each submits a question. Make it so that, while your question is being considered, you are in another jury room deliberating on another question. Make deliberations timed (say, 3-5 minutes per question), so that no one is in a lobby waiting to serve on a jury for too long. Then, after serving on a number of juries equal to the number of jurors (5-7), they can view their verdict. This would allow for the deliberation these people are suggesting.

No, seems called for, since every time I withdraw money, I'm handed a genocidal bastard's face. Not just a genocidal bastard, but also the person who set the precedent for Trump's corrupt kitchen cabinet of kleptocrats and kakistocrats.

Allow me to give you a more eloquent word to spread:

A week or so ago, an Israeli minister vowed that Gaza will be "entirely destroyed". In English, we thankfully have an eloquent word that comes from ancient greek that means "to entirely destroy by fire": and that word is fucking "holocaust"

So let's be very clear: This is an intentional, genocidal holocaust of Gaza.

Great and I already wipe down some things. Genuine question, however, because maybe it will actually lead to a productive insight that can help me when cooking: How do you do as-you-go cleaning with the following things:

• Things that have touched raw meat
• Things with a bunch of fat
• Things that have caramelized sugar or starchy remnants stuck on them

Because, in each of these cases, all of which are common, I have to wash them with hot water and soap, and they require using something to wash them. These tools, such as sponges, pads and brushes, are universally filled with dishwater and germs that I don't want in my food, and the process sends that dishwater spewing up like toilet spume. These are also time-consuming, and their washing is incompatible with most of the dishes I make, which require near-constant attention.

Well, we need to wait a few years to see if H. cephalosepses individuals are capable of producing viable offspring with H. sapiens, since that would indicate that Cephalosepses is actually a subspecies of H. sapiens, just like H. sapiens boomerensis

The person to whom you were responding was trying to make this artifact of the Before-Times relatable to modern Homo Cephalosepses, which cannot comprehend anything from outside its natural environment of TikTok. Unfortunately, speciation has not yet led to a visible difference between the two extant species of the genus Homo, and behavioral differences are currently the only way to differentiate this new species from H. Sapiens, so this person was trying to bridge the species divide, in case the original commenter was on the other side of it.

ETA: I suppose that I will also grant the possibility that the person to whom you replied was an H. Cephalosepses individual trying to translate to others of their kind.

And I suppose you have personal knowledge that they never cook, since they are constantly pulling your shitty food off the grocery shelves?

There is a reason why the cooks and bussers are different people. Not everyone wants to get dishwater in their food from whatever tool they use to clean, nor do I have time while things are cooking and requiring near-constant attention to properly wash my hands 10 times as i go back and forth while cooking a single meal.

I try.
