Two morons arguing moron talking points calling each other morons

A story as old as time

Most people don’t know the difference, as made clear by the reactions of the public, comments on other social platforms, and the wording of the articles. So it’s just as powerful as it was.

No backend database needed for what they did. It was just highlighting where the faces are in a shot of the crowd, same as modern smartphone cameras do, but with a surveillance-type UI around it.

I think it’s clear by the end of Ender’s Game that Ender was never the main character (his realization of that drives a lot of his character development in the following books). And Bean is not really the main character in that part of the story either, just someone much smarter who better understands what’s going on and who the real players are.

The way it separates in clear lines between the tiles, it looks like it was applied to the tiles, not to the floor. So I think they didn’t use self-leveling compound at all and just put on ridiculously thick globs of mortar to raise the tiles to the desired level.

If we’re incredibly generous with what we call emoji

This (and all the other "if"s in the comment) implies you do not agree that pre-unicode emoji count as emoji. I find that an extremely odd stance considering the popularity of emoji during those times.

Wtf are you on about? Emoji existed since the 80s and the ones in IM apps were the most popular examples. It’s not “incredibly generous” to call them emoji, that’s what we called them back then, long before they started being included in unicode.

Unicode has always been about matching human usage of things

Exactly. Emoji usage was so widespread and popular, that they decided to standardize it.

I have both Epic and GOG copies from two different free offers and played it a bunch, but could never finish it. I enjoy the atmosphere and the story, but the fights got repetitive and difficult (not in a good way). I stopped at some boss fight, then later decided to pick it up again and eventually stopped at another artificial roadblock.

I’m sorry, but the list of things in the ocean that taste good is much much longer than that.

I’ve used compostable bags and they absolutely did start breaking down before I got the chance to throw them into the bin.

As long as it’s got an e-ink screen, it’s already an upgrade vs reading on a phone or tablet.

This is the correct answer. With all that mortar, the rest of the tiles are sure to come off too eventually. The whole thing needs to be redone. Take out all tiles and all mortar. Subfloor needs to be properly prepped and then you can lay the tiles back correctly. There’s enough information online to do it yourself or you can hire someone.

Ben & Jerry’s also said Kulve, Unilever’s head of ice cream at the time, said he was concerned that the company being vocal on the war on Gaza could lead to a “continued perception of anti-Semitism”.

Aren’t both Ben and Jerry Jewish?

Perplexity doesn’t seem connfused

my unmedicated adhd defiantly doesn’t play nice with dyslexia nor proofreading

You know what, I’m going to say that’s the right word in this context.

Some of these, despite being great movies, are a very hard watch for someone seeing them for the first time in 2025 if they’re not a hard-core movie buff.

I saw it when it came out and still remember every scene. I completely forgot episodes 2 and 3 to the point that I thought I never actually saw them. So I watched them and realized, oh yeah, I did see them before. And then forgot them again.

defiantly

I decided not to comment on “complement”, but now I think you’re doing this on purpose.

Maybe this will help you understand what’s going on here https://xkcd.com/566/

Speaking as someone whose native language uses phonetic writing, it simply makes sense. You just write what you say. Yes, some people talk differently, and because the writing is phonetic you can easily capture that in writing and you have multiple spellings for the same word in the dictionary (some marked as regionalisms). And as pronunciation of certain words shifts in time, so does the spelling. When more and more people start writing the word as it sounds, instead of the “correct” spelling, the new version gets added to the dictionary.
