These decrepit fucks think all “real” jobs are easy money, so of course they don’t care about making retirement a feasible option. They just fall asleep in an air-conditioned hall, rarely stirring awake to thoughtlessly vote down opportunities for citizens – young and old – to have a manageable life.

If you forced some of these antedeluvian ulcers in our government’s guts to depend on the services they legislate on, then those services might actually become serviceable. Instead, they collect an easy paycheck until they die in-office. Using active office like it’s a pension.

It’s like some people forget they are also just people and all people do things. Not everything they do is related to autism.

Why would I assume this was the Onion? People have been confusing Native Americans for other nationalities for years, not to mention that ICE has been indiscriminately grabbing minorities for months.

From what I’m seeing, Christians ruler did control the peninsula but in the “loosely-aligned polity” sense that was the style of the time. Perhaps joined together by local Iberian culture under the Visigothic Kingdom, rather than Spanish “nationality”. But I don’t think that’s subverting or undercutting any truth to a rulership that cranked the “default” back to “Christianity” by re-conquering the Iberian peninsula from Berber Muslim ownership, like an angry dad with the thermostat. I do see how fascist would love to use the term to further other-ize people but I don’t like ceding anything to fascist especially not language.

I’m also not a historian despite what my access to Wikipedia might fool me into believing. I guess if the shift is just dropping “Re” from the term, then that’s reasonable. I just am sleep-deprived and leery of (not saying this is you) self-identified “scholars” who want to claim discourse space by misinterpreting the past under the guise of “recontextualization”. To be clear, I’m specifically not saying that is what you are or was your intent, but that sort of miscourse is insidious. I’m being more literal because I’m tired and won’t really double-check what I wrote to ensure my writing was well-crafted to properly impart “intention”.

It’s because FO4 isn’t that beloved a modding landscape, mainly being inhabited by equal parts “photorealistic tacticool gun enthusiasts”, “tight-clothes, pose gooners”, and “people that like – and want more – Fallout 4”.

It’s because expecting that is hoping to siphon a percentage (people that want to install a whole other game on top of their game to mod/play mods on) of a percentage (people that mod video games at all) of gamers.

It’s a similar reason to why Enderal, a fantastic RPG that completely provides a much richer canvas to mod on in terms of “immediate” story, has barely any mods beyond visual replacers, compared to Skyrim. Expecting, and not idly hoping for, deep modding support was unrealistic.

Huh.

This reads to me like a soft invitation to avoid using the term. But I’m not seeing why you’d need to revisit or challenge the word “Reconquista”. Will it be updated to the “Bad Reconquista”? It was a conquest, which is not a generally nice word. If anything you’d want to challenge the feelings of the Reconquista as a positive event.

Unfortunately, dragging the US into the conversation, it’s as if USists were proud of the Indian Removal Act because it helped solidify the country’s hold of lands east of the Mississippi River. Sure, it lead to the formation of the country as we know it but it wasn’t a good event. Sure, the Reconquista was a historical event necessary to the formation of the nation we know as Spain but you shouldn’t be really proud of what occurred.

This was either from April or early December. In either case, I’ve never heard this repeated anywhere else since.

I do not believe their models are good enough to accurately and organically “prefer” one result over another. Not to say they won’t try, just that it sounds futile. How do you even train a model to pick advertisers over non-advertisers? Feels like they’re just going to start shipping prepackaged “assistants” with a big, stupid list of company sugar daddies to fluff up.

Thats not what they said.

You’re the one assuming things I never said. I asked how many they had at one time. Obviously, that entails ownership of cats distributed over time.

I’m sorry but 15 cats is a lot of cats. It’s a bit doxx-y (so feel free not to answer) but how many were you housing at one time?

She seems to be making some sort of statement, and that certainly can’t be allowed.

Too far of a reach, for me. There’s no way a baker finished inseminating his bakewife and was struck with an epiphany: “what if this…but a pastry?!”

The others are (debatable) etymologies and then you flip the order to make a horny baked good. Goon appropriately; be better.

He has many repugnant parts of his whole…being that should disqualify his ability to be a thought leader. That he plays video games to earn a living is not one.

I don’t love the cat. We’re housemates.

I don’t smell the cat’s breath because we’re not close like that. I’d appreciate it if you stayed away from my cat as well.

I do write fiction. Not professionally because I’m still working on the craft, but we’ll get there.

This feels like a shitpost that idiots misappropriated as a real method.

Why would you want a method based on a famously developmentally-challenged child? It isn’t “dogged perserverance despite setbacks”; it’s “he’s literally too stupid to evaluate his process and teach himself a better way to solve even the simplest tasks.”

Someone printed out a buncha shirts with only 8 solar orbits in the system. Obviously easier to lobby Pluto off the team than to reprint the shirts.

😢

Eeeeh, I dunno about that. If he had been an ass man, people wouldn’t have started making fun of people who like ass. They would have just continued making fun of how much he inserts ass into his movies.

I think even without association with Tarantino, first encounters with foot fetishism would be met with heavy skepticism/suspicion.

If my third attempt at anything was this good, I wouldn’t be such a quitter.
