Cars a combination of all kinds of shit. Rivets, welds, adhesive, clips, you name it. Aluminum frame cars use more adhesive. High-end applications where the heat of welding can cause dangerous warping also is a factor. The Lotus Elise, for example, uses adhesive rather than welds. Bolts or rivets put holes in things and that’s not always tolerable.
“Time” exists in any reality that isn’t static, it’s simply the concept of being with any measureable change. Doesn’t have to be linear or consistent but if there’s two quarks then there’s time.
It does seem somewhat likely that the flow of time would be different if other universes exist. Hard to apply our physical laws to guesses entirely outside observable reality.
Surely at some point it stops being useful to apply the same terminology to such vastly different concepts. If the universe is a black hole and Sagittarius A* is a black hole then “black hole” doesn’t communicate anything effectively outside of extremely niche astrophysics conversations.
Lots of stuff on cars is glued. Your windshield, for one. The difference is correctly applying the appropriate adhesive.
Yeah something like the Oblivion Crisis would be tough on the commoners. But if I could just chill in Vivec City or even Whiterun for most of history it’s pretty safe.
Yes, a true Rogue-like where every run is fresh.
Sometimes I wonder if moving dirt and shooting bugs is a good way to make a living…
You’re way more likely to be a random civilian pressed into service to defend Minas Tirith, if that helps.
The game was rigged from the start…
If you take them at face value and not as a gamified abstraction, sure. “Pallet Town” having three buildings is unlivable but it isn’t shown that way in non-game media.
The organized crime is rough but that usually gets sorted out by a child at some point so just keep your head down.
It’s pretty safe to be an NPC in thr Elder Scrolls as long as you aren’t important or interesting and you’re polite to adventurers.
The field of Anthropology has gone through some WILDLY problematic periods. So-called “scientific racism” is a big one but shallow assumptions about historical cultures based on current-day social norms was very common.
