ALL THE SEPIA INFOGRAPHICS ARE EASY ON MY HUMAN EYES. SUCH CONSIDERATION FOR HUMAN HEALTH.

Not gonna play the "carry all the groceries in one trip" game greater than 100 yards (1 football field (514 bananas))

Also, the newer massive trucks that are so high they blind anyone lower than them regardless of how properly it's configured.

I would stop following the tarrif news if it wasn't the headline on everything. Is anything else going on while he's doing this? Did he overthrow the judicial system or something?

Rubber Arm Man needs to watch One Piece to get some ideas. Though he is limited by only his arms being rubber.

I'm still waiting for the stable release. Mostly because I'm not prepared to lose another 200-300 hours.

I was worried about this. The game has so many hotkeys, I have no idea how a controller would handle them. Lots of contextual button mappings.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail appeared to have the most accurate representation of anarchy *I* have seen in modern media (that flavor wouldn't work for a large government though). A fucking satirical comedy no one would take seriously. All other references I've seen about anarchy seemed like "fuck the government" was the entire ideology.

There are definitely women who like and appreciate a partner like that. Particularly, demi-sexual women would absolutely love a supportive and caring partner. Pansexual women could too. Many women may not realize they're demi or pan and don't usually advertise themselves as such, but they are there.

I myself don't act very masculine and don't relate well with other men. I identify as the gender apathetic flavor of non-binary. Not being masculine or feminine in mannorisms. I appear male, but like you, my mannerisms are gentle and caring. I definitely have had women friends see me "as a little brother" and cared about me in a platonic way... I don't know if there's a way out of that 😅... BUT they will help you find a date.

When I met my future wife, I let her know I wanted to date her before being friends but after being aquatinted. She appreciated my politeness and care and reciprocated it back. We've been married for 10 years now. Found out later she was demi-sexual. She didn't find me attractive at first (she didn't find anyone truly attractive), but she did as she loved me more.

Come over to anarchism (libertarian socialism). Anarchy isn't lawlessness; it's as close as we can get to true democracy. Not this 2 party bullshit. Government AND Corporations and People shouldn't tread on us. The government should serve the needs of the people and protect their rights from other people.

Side note, if you describe it as Anarchism and avoid saying "left", "liberal", or "socialism". You might be able to reach loosely right-wing people who would otherwise turn off at any of those words.

Okay, he didn't use those exact words, but he said "How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!".

Probably not a good title to seek upvotes. If it does get upvotes, more programmers get share in your pain 😅
