I mean there was a meme about the German Army was sending troops to Poland.

It was a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B.

Classic kitchen employee right there.

I always enjoyed the story of 2. Origins and 3 both fall for the same story beats aka “You are the Chosen One. Only you can save the World.”

Origins, you are the last of the Grey Wardens in Felderen. Only you can reunite everyone to stop the Blight.

3, only you can close the rifts, reunite everyone, and stop the Big Bad guy.

In 2n Varic actively mocks that in the beginning. Hawke is portrayed as the Chosen One. When challenged, Varic admits that he made it up. Hawke is a nobody in beginning, only kicks start the mage and templar war because of the people that they associated started everything. Cough Anders Cough Hawke really just stumbles from adventure to adventure because of their companions.

It’s a story about unintended consequences and how small events can lead into big events.

2’s biggest failure was the over use of the same assets. The is cave/house/ruin is the same layout all the other cave/house/ruin. It was fine when it made narrative sense however that it is only for a minority of the time.

Not just any Linux. Arch too!

I saw you start dunking on Brett Favre. I wanted to dunk on him too.

Woah there, Brett Favre is not a “welfare queen”. That would imply that Brett identifies as a women. According to the bullshit pushed by conservatives that can’t happen. So that makes Brett Favre a “welfare sponge”, “welfare fraud”, “king of collecting welfare”, “thief”, “a hypocritical, piece of shit, who is only collecting welfare cause they need it. Every one is just a welfare bum”.

I’m guessing those people would all be succeeded by their next of kin. Would that cause a wave of change or…?

Something would happen on the micro level. Some families would fight over the power vacuum, other families would slowly fall into obscurity due to the loss of a loved one, some might spend resources to track down information, some might a come to Jesus moment about the wealth, etc.

Would anything change on the macro level? Doubtful. New people will rise to the top as the system that created unimaginable wealth still exists.

This whole thread speaks of the Landlord Special. Latex paint, what can’t it do!?

Science works best when people are:

• Creatively thinking
• Use ideas from other scientific areas for their scientific area

The book “How We Got To Now” does a fabulous job of showing that science is not a uniform step by step process instead is a tree with different branches.

AC and refrigerators all started because someone wanted to ship ice to tropical locations for money.

SETI is another prefect example. A bunch of scientists sat around and said to themselves “We have all these new instruments for space. What if we tried to find alien life with it?”

People who build their entire identity around X.

X = Ammosexuals, MAGA, Muskrats, Gamers™, Christo-Facists, Corporate Bootlickers, etc.

Natural gas.

I read this entire thread thinking we were talking about fleshlights and not flashlights.

Patient gamers for the win!

Harvested skulls have to go to the Blood God, Khorne.

“Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!”

$20 for the full set. That’s $2 per finger bone.

If you eat a piece of cheese, you get to levitate for 10 seconds no more, no less. Doesn’t matter the size of the cheese or the type (this includes lactose free).

I’ve heard stories about people putting on parental locks or making it harder for their parents to access Fox News and other far right media. Once that cancer has been cut off from the source, the parents started becoming like their old selves.

That punchable smirk.

I wonder what happened in the 80s.
