I did just that… and now I spend the same amount of time browsing Lemmy on Firefox…

Though there was like 4 days where I cut down…

So if a cheater wins hard enough, it can be called “fair and square”? Not sure what specifics could get me on board with that.

Perhaps, but with all of the voter suppression and election rigging that has been done by the Republicans, can you really say he won “fair and square” at this point?

“I am the one who must have been the wind!”

Your last sentence gave me an idea.

Why don’t we put the Confederacy statues in something like an “American Slavery Museum”?

Its probably good to remember that these horrific ideas were once admired and honored, lest we become complacent. But putting them in the right context, i.e. next to evidence of the horrors wrought by their ideals, seems like the perfect place for them imho.

Edit: well, not every idea I have is a winner.

Who could stay away from Zion? It’s a lovely national park and the folks I meet there are usually very nice!

Comparison mostly. HD and 3D isn’t impressing you by virtue of it being superior to real life (it isn’t after all), it’s impressing you compared to other examples of the same thing done “worse”. The best portrait artist in the world can not make something look more “real” than the reference material, but it can compared to other attempts at painting.

This is true in other natural things as well. For example, a really big tree surrounded by smaller similar sized trees feels “really impressive” compared to a mountain surrounded by other… similar sized mountains. Or why a particularly colorful plant seems impressive surrounded by a bunch of green and brown plants.

On the other hand, things like OLED screens can be impressive compared to the natural world due to their ability to arrange and display colors rarely found in nature.

While I could see the wisdom in not propping up a vegetable, I’m not sure acknowledging that they are propping up a vegetable is any more of a “winning strategy”.

Fun fact, Trump ran for the Reform Party nomination, which eventually went to Pat Buchanan, back in 2000.

ranting: noun

a long, angry, and impassioned speech. “at times, his rantings would become incoherent”

adjective

speaking at length in an angry and impassioned way.

I’m more familiar with the definition that includes the length of the speech. If you were using a definition that only refers to the energy, then I wouldn’t call it hyperbole.

Calling it ranting is hyperbole, but but he did randomly start talking about immigrants murdering women when answering the question about abortion.

Theoden: “You…”

Saruman: “No. That was a rhetorical question”

Theoden: “And I gave you a rhetorical answer”

Saruman: “Good Lord Sauron, I traded Boromir for this…”

No Bottom Line is going to trick me into thinking I have worth!!!

Because Trump’s a piece of shit.

I’d go so far as to say anyone who supports genocide is a piece of shit.

Well you see, when a capitalist and a politician love eachother money very much, they engage in an act of love collusion. This gets both of them very much money. So much in fact, that they couldn’t possibly hold on to all of it. And the money that falls out of their pocket trickles down to every one! Thus, products are improved, and everyone gets their needs met!

This is the free market in action, and anyone who disagrees is a dirty Commie!

Everything is about US. That’s why we are called US!

It’s really easy to avoid sentencing, I’ve done it all my life by following one simple rule: Don’t Do Crimes.

Yeah, sorry, I misunderstood this to mean, “not doing crimes == not being convicted”. Which sounded a lot like the “if you’re innocent, you have nothing to fear from the police” mentality.

As much as Trump is obviously guilty as fuck, I’m not willing to adopt the “if you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from the cops law” mentality.

1 vegetarian baby or?

Cost cutting, the advent of digital distribution, as well as technological and game design improvements that allowed for such information to be conveyed in game, all contributed to game manuals becoming less and less valuable. Due to these factors, they kept getting smaller and smaller until one day the just stopped being commonly made.

Though my nostalgia still misses them (and strategy guides).
