Outside it's chocolate but inside it's like gummy bear or jubjubes or something.

I did have some rather lengthy suspensions for that.

I've been saying for years that if you aren't allowed to express one side of a discussion then discussion is not actually allowed.

tell me you know literally nothing about Japanese food without telling me you know nothing about Japanese food.

There's plenty of cooked food in Japanese cuisine but a defining element of quite a lot of it is either raw or unaltered (such as dried or fermented) ingredients.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you misinterpreted what happened.

Not really a fan of their food tbh. They tend to keep their ingredients in the rawest state possible.

Honestly, I'm expecting this won't even change that much for most social boards in the long run, gradual death of CE aside. For the first few weeks there'll be efforts to close "political" topics, and particularly butthurt posters may be able to get rid of posts/topics they don't like by marking them as political, but long-term I doubt it'll be worth mods' time to actively police boards where nobody has any problems and stamp out political discussions and we can probably just keep posting as normal. It certainly wouldn't be the first time that official policies don't exactly amount to much (like committing to removing problematic ads), and while I expect there'll be a concerted effort to keep up appearances in the early days, I doubt it'll last.

Which is why many people were saying a near full on shutdown of the economy was a terrible idea and now we're seeing why. It's taking years to recover and really it never will fully recover because let's be real... these prices are never reverting back to pre covid levels. Now people are barely surviving, and in many cases, they aren't surviving. So we've effectively created a global economic crisis when many people were saying that was absurd and it wouldn't happen.

His rationale is that because the loans were paid back, no harm was done and therefore Trump shouldn't be punished. Obviously, if the loans weren't paid back there'd be no question of his liability for whatever damages were incurred, but in this case it's less a matter of punishing him for causing damage and more a matter of punishing him simply for breaking the rules (rules which need to exist).

He's pretty bad and has hurt this country with his rampant spending and printing money, thus causing inflation (it is also because of greedy companies, but printing so much during covid came back to bite us in the ass too).

tbh bugs vs daffy is gonna be the deciding match regardless of whether it's the finals or not

Longbows, +Range Skills, Boots, +Movement Skills, Teleportation Staves and Dancers are all options to deal with that, depending on the specific game in question.

Biggoron Sword and Great Fairy's Sword in Zelda.

He's not perfect, and one could levy some valid criticism against him, but a traitor he is not.

I pray every day the proof is uncovered to redeem Israel on the global stage.

That made me realize that a billionaire could easily do the same thing with real life money. "Oh look at these supercars, let's see, I'll take that one, that one, that one, that one..."

Sheared alpacas look like a half-assed attempt at Photoshop.

oh, right - it didn't go through; china/russia vetoed it

Sometimes, like it or not, when you're at war, you're going to hit some civilian targets by accident.

Bruce Wayne has been described as a trillionaire in some stories

Sooo you're naturally laid back

Gotta scroll down to the bottom and hit "load more" several times to see the full list.

Without street cars or some similar vehicle, streets would be so blocked with traffic that progress would be impossible, downtown business would be a memory, stores would be without patrons, and property would be valueless.

And I remember the copy protection that took the form of a sheet and a red filter that you placed over it to read the code.

I used to think he was the Tesla of our generation, turns out he is just the Edison.

So you don't think successful business magnates can be hyper intelligent?

It's a different type of intelligence from what it requires to be a scientist or academic, but I don't think it's fair to make the qualifier for not being intelligent "not being a scientist" lol

That said I don't think high intellect is a very big factor in becoming a .001%. By far the most common denominator between the mega rich people is being born into generational wealth

Apparently there are some people speculating that he doesn't even know how to program or engineer stuff and that the people he hired are the ones doing all that?

If that's true, my question is how someone would even fucking know that without knowing him personally.

If he really was as stupid as people make him out to be, why not replace him with someone who could actually do the job better?

Do you really think that someone of average or of below average intelligence could have become literally the richest man alive?

I don't think he's a completely mindless buffoon, but he does and says a lot of stupid stuff.

That stigma wont change until the big companies start reinforcing it and telling people its true

Weren't there talks in Congress a couple years ago about erasing DST?

You can collect a pint every 12 weeks from women, or every 8 weeks from men, starting at age 17. Now, there's certainly room to argue about the ethics of using that blood to prop up the textiles industry instead of saving lives, but some of the less common, non-universal types could be reasonably used outside of medicine. Most donors would eventually stop being eligible, but there are definitely enough adults out there who don't/can't have sex to maintain a reasonably stable supply.

Yeah, but fuel consumption is exponential. Which means it's far more efficient to shuttle everything up into orbit in multiple smaller trips than it would be to load everything into a single ship that has to both reach orbit and then begin a longer trip outbound. The vast majority of its fuel would be consumed on launch. You'd use less fuel with smaller shuttles or rockets launching supplies into orbit.

It's the same reason why the shuttles used to have booster rockets and external fuel tanks. It takes a major effort to get up there. Once you're up there, though, it takes much less effort to head outward.

It's why most proposed scenarios for long-term space programs usually involve some sort of space-based drydock or other shipyard to build and maintain ships in space without having to constantly bring them through atmosphere.

Larger structures will have more significant stress points and material fatigue risk.

Imagine driving your car down the freeway. Now imagine your check engine light comes on. Even with the most robust built-in diagnostic system to tell you exactly what the fault is, it would be somewhat difficult for you to crawl out of the sunroof, crawl down to the hood, then open the hood and change your alternator while the car is still driving.

And that's not even getting into external damage - a few micrometeors start punching holes through vital parts and you're screwed.
