You say this like drawing blood from wild beavers is a trivial task!

Sounds more like a problem of failing to moderate bigotry, not a social issues problem. The existence of LGBTQ+ people who stream is not a social issue; assholes demanding they go away is

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence in English that is often presented as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs through lexical ambiguity. It has been discussed in literature in various forms since 1967, when it appeared in Dmitri Borgmann's Beyond Language: Adventures in Word and Thought. The sentence employs three distinct meanings of the word buffalo:

  • As an attributive noun (acting as an adjective) to refer to a specific place named Buffalo, such as the city of Buffalo, New York;
  • As the verb to buffalo, meaning (in American English[1][2]) "to bully, harass, or intimidate" or "to baffle"; and
  • As a noun to refer to the animal (either the true buffalo or the bison). The plural is also buffalo.

A semantically equivalent form preserving the original word order is: "Buffalonian bison that other Buffalonian bison bully also bully Buffalonian bison."

Yeah, that's completely true. It's up to each person to decide what their standards are and where they draw the line. Like Roman Polanski anally raping a 13 year old and using his money and fame to leave the country and avoid the prison time may be across one person's line while another person says, "Eh, what can you do? It was almost 50 years ago." Also true, but that piece of shit is still alive and making money--from people who like his work at least enough to keep consuming it.

Fast food joints already offer lower prices in their apps than at the drive through. You pay the difference through all the data they harvest.

Can someone catch me up here, please? The last I read, fracking was typically seen as an environmentally unfriendly process because you break up a bunch of underlying rock, pump out the crude, and replace it with water. It destabilizes the area and leads to shit like small earthquakes. So like, drilling down, releasing a bunch of heat/pressure, and flooding the system with a bunch of water without caring about the oil is supposed to be a safer thing to do? What gives?

Now we know where reddit took their profit strategy from

 

I started off using different colors because I liked them. Turns out that my brain really likes this style of information organization, and it's helped me a bunch when it comes to learning and sticking with good design habits!

A Colorverse Nebula notebook is open to two pages of notes and drawings on tips for designing snap-fit joints on 3d printed objects, written in different ink colors. The notebook is surrounded by pencils (a Bic mechanical and Tombow 4H), a plastic pencil sharpener, and a test tube rack holding four fountain pens.

 

I just started playing Curse for the first time the other night, and the gameplay/mechanics have been so much fun. I've tried claws, machete, pistol, and whip so far, but I'd love to hear about which weapon combos or full builds you found the most fun! What all did you like about them?
