@RepairOfAmerica@pampamrdgz@Peterisrandom Then I would hope that you and your hypothetical significant other would live exciting lives, because most of life is mundane drudgery, and if you can’t bring yourself to talk or care about that drudgery then you’ll have very little to talk about.
Linguistically, breasts are considered a pair because either breast could function on its own as a separate unit. An ass cannot. It consists of both buttocks — "cheeks" in common parlance — and a hole, and the sum of their properties constitutes an ass. If one were to separate these components, no one individual component could definitionally be considered an ass on its own.
@RepairOfAmerica@pampamrdgz@Peterisrandom People realize, often far too late, that the “meaningless stuff” is the only stuff that ever actually mattered. What you see as needless blather is actually the “meat” of any relationship.
Without it you’re essentially conversing with strangers who you know the person details of
I don't think 'many conservatives' believe this at all.
I think many conservatives believe that (1) unequal opportunities obviously exist, (2) even if you could somehow fully equalize opportunities, disparities would still remain because people differ in their innate characteristics and dispositions, and (3) some of what we observe as unequal opportunity is itself partly influenced by those underlying differences.
I’ve seen End of Eva on the big screen before, but never with a packed audience and never sitting behind teenagers who had (apparently) just watched the series for the first time. Saw a kid barely older than Shinji have a revelation.
It’s still got it. It’s always gonna have it.
This is less an argument than a collection of caricatures.
Pro-lifers don’t need the Bible to argue that intentionally killing an innocent human being is wrong. The argument can be made from embryology and moral philosophy.
Conservatives generally don’t believe “immigrants are bad.” They argue over illegal immigration, border sovereignty, assimilation, security, labor markets, and immigration levels.
And capitalism apparently existed in an intellectual vacuum until Ronald Reagan? Smith, Locke, Hayek, Friedman and several centuries of political economy might have something to say about that.
Yes, conservatives are underrepresented in academia. But jumping from that fact to “therefore conservatives are incurious” is not scholarship. It’s ideological self-congratulation masquerading as an explanation.
There are incurious conservatives. There are incurious progressives. Curiosity is not a partisan trait.
Ironically, reducing opposing viewpoints to “Bible/Fox News/Reagan told them so” rather than seriously engaging their strongest arguments is a pretty good example of the incuriosity you’re accusing everyone else of.
Gaming industry today:
- Steam: "Here's how you can easier gift games to your friends."
- Xbox: "Rediscover Xbox classics on PC thanks to our backward compatibility!"
-PlayStation: "Haha keep crying, losers! We don't need you. We only need shareholders."
sometimes people ask why I don't care about achieving perfect runs in games or why I play out doomed save files instead of keeping others to fall back on. this quote from daggerfalls manual gets to the heart of it i think its often just more immersive to roll with your result
Whenever u cancel a subscription and then they offer you that last-ditch 50% off BS in an attempt to keep you on board, I’m always reminded that the entire pricing model for subscriptions is dictated by thin-fucking air, and they can change it on a whim when it conveniences them.
The general consensus seems to be that the Major, in the new anime, has all the cool and serious elements we saw in Stand Alone Complex, but also includes the small gremlin energy present in the manga.
So it seems pretty good.
Anti-nuclear people 🚫☢️: Nuclear waste is dangerous for thousands of years and we still have no safe way to dispose of it!
Canada 🇨🇦☢️: ok
“Spent fuel stays dangerous for a long time because of transuranics: elements heavier than uranium, like plutonium and americium, that form when a uranium atom captures a neutron instead of splitting. They stay radioactive for thousands of years, and they’re the main reason a burial site has to be designed to hold for geological timescales.
WATSS, short for Waste To Stable Salt, goes after those specifically. It’s a chemical process that pulls the transuranics out of used oxide fuel and concentrates them into a molten salt, leaving the bulk of the material behind. Moltex says it recovered 90 percent of that transuranic content in 24 hours in the lab tests, with more coming out over longer runs.”
