hmmm, all boys high schools aren't actually very common in America. high schools here are almost all coed.

most media players actually let you do that already and most pirated content includes at least subtitles you can toggle on and off. but if you go for a full Blu Ray iso or remux you'll usually get the commentary track.

that's definitely the physical master at the bottom of a keypad. this is the outside of a door.

oh I'm sure they actually did. if there's one thing Republicans are good at, it's being contrarian assholes about all climate related policy. I'm sure someone tried to poke every hole they could in this.

but you'd have to have a pretty warped understanding of emissions to think that mowing a field with sheep is even close to a lawnmower. this field needs to be mowed to keep the solar panels clear. even if these sheep weren't eaten or used for any other purpose, this would still be a good policy. as is though, we will also be getting wool, because these sheep will die without being sheered. we will likely be getting other products too. I'm not sure if they will be eaten, but probably not. they aren't very popular for meat here.

sheep are legitimately a very green way to mow a field when you consider alternatives. like, i guess they could use those hand push manual mowers or scythes or something, but that would mean hiring thousands of people. that may be ultimately the best thing for everyone but the billionaires that profit on it, but let's bee realistic here. that's not happening.

i mean, it's more about letting the Internet decide for them. a person that is so incapable of making their own assessments that they have to ask a random mob permission to date another isn't going to be a good person to date. didn't be or date someone that would trust random Internet weirdos who collectively have an incredibly awful track record of giving advice over just talking about it or doing some reading.

that's the thing though, these aren't bullet hell either. i agree that the "survivors" branding is confusing, but i don't think bullet hell is accurate either.

there's enough of these games now, they need a proper genre title. i legit have a hard time getting people on the same page when discussing these games (vampire survivors, magic survival, deep rock survivors, League of Legends swarm mode, etc...) it usually takes a good 5 minutes before they actually understand what kind of games I'm talking about unless they actively play them. I've just been calling them "vampire survivors like" even though i know it's not the first, it's the one most people are familiar with.

i think the "survival" part of it is that the only and exclusive goal is to stay alive. The way you choose to build toward that goal is where the gameplay comes in. bullet hell is similar in that regard, but the main goal of bullet hell is to dodge shit to stay alive. the main goal of these is to figure out a build path that makes you kill everything. it's more like a puzzle than a game of skill. once you get it right you shouldn't be dodging. i know many people that like bullet hell, but and not these, and vice versa. I'm one of them, i like these games, but not bullet hell. similar on the surface, but the appeal is way different.

anyone who picks at every little thing a partner or potential partner does by requiring the Internet to approve it is toxic as hell. asking the Internet if a behavior that doesn't effect you is a red flag is a massive red flag.

yeah, it's likely for insurance or regulatory reasons.

insurance will find any reason possible to deny your claim. even if that is a failure to remove the keys from the ignition after the car burst into flames.

regulators shouldn't allow slack. with any company in a regulatory situation they will to exactly as much as they're allowed to get away with. give them an inch, they take a Mile. letting hazard tags slide based on judgement creates space for corruption and abuse. following procedures to the letter with strict documentation can help curtail that.

i didn't mean to imply they weren't, just that the name was derived from the people not the region.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

this might be a regional thing. I've never once in my life seen it spelled that was. to me til had only ever been an acronym for "today I learned"

yeah, there were the breadcrumbs of a decent commentary about an extremist taken out of their echo chamber and shown a genuinely fair society.

God i miss when sci-fi was optimistic about the future... but hey, maybe after WWIII and the eugenics wars we'll be able to start advancing the political sciences again too...
