@Kerrcarr01 The reason for the cash only is that he's in Hutt territory, and the Hutts demand protection (or just skim) every business as the price of doing business. Everything goes easier if it's all cold cash.
@Kerrcarr01 "Credits" are the name of the currency, not a descriptor of the transaction. They even have a symbol, that looks kinda like a c.
Watto's problem is that Qui-Gon is basically trying to pay with a debit card while he's running a cash-only business.
@Mod_Maker_1@MemesToSave The reason the US kept this system while other nations didn't is just geography. The US was uniquely reliant on shipping for most of its history, due to how far it is from the rest of Europe; almost nothing was being imported by land.
@Mod_Maker_1@MemesToSave I'm a bit late, but MDY is a holdover from shipping. When everything had to be moved by boat, there were likely to be differences in the predicted/actual day of delivery, but more often than not one could predict the month.
@RachelBTCsmith@ChaseForLiberty What we do not believe you should be able to do is exclude others from *their* property, or other spaces you do not own/control. But if you're not doing all that? That's freedom.
@RachelBTCsmith@ChaseForLiberty Well then you're an idiot for doubting it, because that's a core tenant of libertarianism. As long as you're committing this exclusion on your own private property and are willing to accept the consequences (being excluded by others on/from theirs) - sure, go for it.
@americanmcgee I gotta ask or I'm gonna regret this: was John Romero one of the people who scowled?
Friend recently said (while playing Diakatana) that John seems like he "glares at innovation". If he actually *did* do that it'll be so funny to tell him.
@rikki87477@NomadLazy They're also hated, like, in abstract, because of what they represent. Since Krieger are only sent to the worst of the worst scenarios, anyone who sees one is about to have a really bad time.
@tacowasa2nd No, rather both Israel and the US are subservient to the same masters: a bunch of rich guys who sell weapons (The MIC).
It's a system: US funds Israel -> Israel creates tension -> tension justifies military (MIC) spending.
@uncle_deluge Yes and no. They were painted garishly, but the idea is that they would be exposed to the elements and so you'd get the intended, duller version after a few months.
A lot of these reconstruct the real paints, but then they're in museums so unweathered.
@bubblegumbword It's kinda "sexism by degrees".
The reason is that going by one's first name makes them seem more casual and approachable, which is what these specific candidates valued.
The sexism is that women are expected to be more casual. A woman doing the same things as men is "a bitch."
@KiyyDumb CJ is an easily-accessible model with surprisingly solid modelling; easy to put into games as a proof of concept, or to learn the modding for that specific game.
Notice that, no matter how many games he's in, the model very rarely contorts or clips in these mods.
