Oh no! My friend thinks she shouldn't use her nice ornamental coffee pot, because it is made of aluminum! Nevermind that there might be science developing somewhere that this substance may be some kind of innocuous which is not total. It's just horrible that that is how people make decisions
sometimes!I got really defensive when I started hearing that people would avoid plastic bottles. Seemed like the kind of discernment that could only put me out of touch with things which are available. Go get your coffee pot! I doubt that you'll ever be able to tell if it ever impacted your health. Another friend of mine has a whole crop of prohibitions. He liked some of my clothes and talked about borrowing them until he found out they included polyesters, at which point he completely dropped interest and then I just felt put down for going on with something he had rejected. I thought, why did he speculate to me at all, knowing he had that sort of judgment still pending? Disgust should be unspeakable! but people bring it out with such righteousness, like "wouldn't you like to be healthier, away from all these awful things"? I also feel this way about smells. I hate how people respond to perceptible odors. Everyone is so sure of their opinions. Someone please come out with me for this. Unless you're struggling to breathe I really do not want to hear what you think about a smell. You're just going to interpret the world as being a worse place to be and that habit is what disgusts me!

I have come to fear that there is simply no integrated english language accounting for the modern cultural dynamics of the people of china. I now presume that the nuances will be totally occluded. I can't discern anything! This BBC article you've linked contains ZERO proper nouns besides placenames, top-level leaders, and the names of ethnic groups... it's like reading a World Factbook Encyclopedia. The only exception is the quotation from a posting "signed Qi Xiaojin on the popular Sina Weibo platform" that I cannot source anywhere on the internet, I've been looking for about half an hour. No good searching Weibo myself, my translate tools think this page is in SWEDISH?

Qis LinkFor shame, discussion of DF's controls commonly eclipses discussion of DF! Any other Traditional Rogue players here, can we sound off? I'll settle for Rimworld.For shame, discussion of DF's controls commonly eclipses discussion of DF! Any other Traditional Rogue players here, can we sound off? I'll settle for Rimworld.

If you're yoyo-ing ideologically and feeling unworthy of personal support... You sound like the kind of person we'd want to bring into the fold.
Edit: there's ways to engage with the question you asked, maybe. Like I could imagine a discourse around whether it is possible to be wasteful when reaching in for people who sound as discouraged as you do. But to be totally frank I am so alarmed by your comment that my honest response is just to send you lots of love and hope you do okay today

I recommend the 1974 planet of the apes tv show with the rubber masks! The stories are fairly various and it only lasted 14 episodes before being cancelled on a cliffhanger, absolutely classic.
Edit: "classic" here is being used very loosely to mean "was on TV before I was alive" so YMMV but I'm telling you it's pretty okay

It's not like a juicing scandal, where gains in one event presage unfair advantages in future games -- the computer stops helping when you stop using it. Hans Niemann could forfeit all ill-gotten gains and then all they'd need to do to restore honor to chess is prevent further cheating... Magnus makes no suggestions on that front here, and I don't think it's honest to lean on his credibility anymore.

I love the movement in the underground, it's like modern dance and super unlike anything else I had seen in that kind of film. I feel like I'm in a minority for feeling like Get Out is sort of a short number!

You must not miss your chance to naively experience an era of wonder which 80s trek represents! The first season of that series is very rough but there are some really clean expressions of certainty and thought. So many of the corniest star treks are completely earnest, completely careful explorations of life and human intention. Please do not be tempted by the cartoony nonsense that has emerged to fill the void these beautiful series left in their wake
Hades having diverse portrait art could never have created "representation". It's a game about literally one figure just wanging on room after room of monsters with a big hammer or a shield that does that "bounce" move. Nothing in this category of game will ever reflect a modern demographic, much less an ancient one.
