Idk about you but if the government took 24% of my money I'd be ecstatic, currently it's much closer to 55-60%, a too-big percentage of which goes on privatising profit and nationalising losses.

nah unfortunately not from the looks of things, there's some places which definitely had mad cow disease that aren't coloured, but I wouldn't be surprised if the actual map is still very correlated

there's a gap on both, just in different places and you can get from one to the other just by sliding. The constraints are elsewhere so wouldn't allow you to twist.

It is a different definition, but it's the same unit... it's also more like saying "that ball of yarn is 10 metres" - the ball itself isn't 10 metres long in any dimension, but the meaning is clear given the context, as it would if you said "it's 0.05 metres". By having two meanings distinguishable by context, it seems like two definitions to me.

So for context, I'm an asexual guy who had one girl in his classes at high school & went to a 75% male university on a course that was 94% male...

Right after graduating I had the same issues you're describing, just from "new experiences" more than anything, but when you go out into the world and start interacting with people you'll be fine - it's somewhat normal especially if you didn't have a drive to seek out women previously or even just didn't have the self confidence to

Also though, that sounds like a bit of a weird interaction as an introvert anyway, I don't think I'd have been super comfortable either way as I'd be expecting to be robbed or scammed or something, but if someone is expressing interest in something you're passionate about then they very clearly want to hear about it, so just say things about it even if it's cringe or not perfect

Human energy needs are incredibly variable so the estimates for normal consumption are wrong for most people, but when you get into essential systems (basically cardiovascular and nervous, not even including digestive or any muscle movement) you actually need even less - the average (by weight, height & age) man needs 1950kcal or so and the average woman (by height, weight & age) needs 1450kcal or so

When we replace AI with brains in jars I'm sure we can cut it down even more though

The intersection between Authoritarianism and Socialism:

It's just a regular venn diagram

Does that mean fudging rolls is basically the RPG equivalent of "mining off camera"?

Hey, sometimes they like to overthrow a beloved monarchy and install a dictatorship, just to spice things up every so often

Infected road rash all up your right arm is so much worse too, and I imagine there's probably worse things than that once you get into spinal pain

It kind of disappoints me that Wales ruins the standard:flag system in the Home Nations though, if they were to be included in the Union Flag I'd want to see it be the St. David's Cross with the dragon going on the Royal Standard where France used to be

You're wondering if a place that grew on monopoly and extortion, with some of the most impoverished, deprived and violent neigborhoods in the country, along with some of the most exclusive and expensive collections of gated mansions, could have serious fundamental issues?
I'd think it's safe to assume that's it's this one...

A quick google search when I was initially fact-checking took me to this reddit post; I'm highly skeptical of both the LAPD and reddit so went for 15 minutes to be "safe" but make of it what you will...

Meta exist to make a profit, however they're never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they're never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their content. Some here may rightfully have an issue with a corporation monetising their content, however by federating with the fediverse and being the first company able to monetise the content within it, Meta have a vested interest in not extinguishing the fediverse.

Complain about their privacy violations or them monetising content they don't generate as much as you want, but remember they're smart & money hungry, and the smartest thing they can do in their position is to make money out of people they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
