American problems require american solutions

Silliest press misstranslation for me is still Eng->Ger where they translated

May the force be with you

into

am vierten Mai sind wir bei euch

which translated back into English would be

on the fourth of May we are with you

Correct translation (and used like that in the movies) would be

Möge die Macht mit dir sein

Thanks for the linked publication. I had the same assumption, not due to in person experience but from what I saw in the online spheres. That felt like 90 % MTF. And I’ve seen multiple online comics in that direction but not the other way around. That’s where my assumption came from.

What is the background to one eyed dragon? Sounds awesome to me.

I agree in principle with you. Technology in every bodies hand is benefitting everybody, while under control of a few only benefits them.

But with LLM as they are currently and in my eyes in the near future as well? I’m not seeing it possible for the average person to make their own model with available hardware. Big data centres are needed and they burn a lot of resources for creating a video that turns a cat into a human, help genociders argue why they needed to bomb that school or destroy our education systems while simultaneously destroyingpublic trust in media.

Deep Rock Galactic fulfills nearly all your requirements, depending on A) how it runs on your machine, seems Linux works for many and B) if alien bugs count as zombie for you, as they are also mindless hordes that swarm you. I have a lot of fun with DRG, I can recommend it.

Trine Series contain fun coop puzzler for up to 3 people. Don’t know how all of them play on Linux, but 1 & 2 work on the Steam Deck, so should work in general. And 2 is in my opinion the best one. They have a story, but its not really about it, the puzzle and levels are 95% of the focus.

Lara Croft and Tempel of Osiris is up to 4 coop puzzle action adventure. It was fun and the difficulty 9f the puzzles gets adjusted for the player number if I remember correctly. Seems for some it runs on Wine, but as always, mileage may vary.

They weren’t talking about your internal motivations, but about your results. Important difference.

Yes! /s

As somebody who grew up without religion: I never really cared about all the metaphysical stuff. I was always interested in learning new things and wanted to understand how the world works. Yet that stuff never even brushed my mind to my knowledge. Maybe I asked my parents when I was smaller which I can’t remember anymore, but I definitely didn’t get anxiety over it. I accepted what I saw with my own eyes, that was enough for me. I don’t need something else besides this world.

And regarding their child converting: a cousins child is raised atheist and in elementary school got interested in Christianity since most of their class mates went to church. So the child asked the parents, they said: innour opinion there is nothing, but if you are interested, feel free to go to church to learn about their explanation. So that’s what they did and last I met the child, they weren’t a bible thumbed but still went to their religion class, so the result is not yet in.

While it was still an okay end for me, your points are also what I didn’t like about it.

While I appreciate the internal look into the psyche of why somebody can become such an asshole, he was getting off too lightly in my opinion. His opening up to ribbit was well acted, I liked the portrayal of that.

This is a really mean thing to say out of the blue. You’ve assumed malintent when there wasn’t any.

This you?

If you know any teenagers/young adults who would enjoy “baby’s first psychological horror” this is a good recommend.

Calling teenagers babies is condescending. Could have just left that word out and write “first psychological horror” or “introduction to psychological horror”.

And regarding why say something: because they want you to learn about your behaviour and be able to learn and grow from it. So they care and think that you can improve instead of being a lost cause, where you just down vote and move on.

The honest answer is: we don’t know.

The common name and interpretation is as the others already mentioned.

But it is part of the so called black paintings of Goya. He created them at the end of his life when he was depressed, maybe insane and utterly lost all hope in humanity. He painted them inside a house on the walls and never showed them to anyone or talked about them. They were only found after his death, so we literally have no information about them.

But they are all pretty haunting and have dark themes. And this one got memetic usage and was also often referenced and is therefore the best known one of the 14.

Yeah, hopefully someday it will be ethical to visit those statues again. Because they are indeed awesome.

Do birds worry about their hair? Well… They dont have hair, so probably not.

But do birds worry about their plumage?
Yeah, probably they do.
Because there are many examples of birds using their plumage to attract mates, best known is probably the peacock.

In short, my thinking is that you need sexual procreation and a certain minimum intelligence to care for their outward appearance (e.g. I don’t think ants care for outward looks). So probably all mammals and a lot of birds definitely do care “about their hair”. But insects and fish do not.

This is the first of 3 statues that are thematically connected and are about USSRs part in world war 2.

This is Home Front to Front metaphorically smithing the sword, since that area had a lot of industrial complexes that produced arms. The next one is The Motherland Calls about the will and need to fight, with the sword raised high. And the last one, the Soviet War Memorial, is in Berlin, its about lowering the sword at the end of the war.

True, but it was more in regards to those two being neither declared an element nor a mental illness.

And what are Lithium and Neon? The long sought after unnatural matter?

Yeah, a lot of people suffer from bladder infections. Would increase their life quality if it was indeed sterile.

Thing is: yes, not a beautiful face, but for sure an interesting and memorable one. I will not forget his character when I already forgot who pretty face #256 was.

For me any soft foam ball I can throw at the wall and then catch again. It’s occupying brain regions I don’t need for reading or watching on the monitor while not making noises for my neighbours.
