In my country people, especially teenage boys, try to avoid walking over the rainbow crossings. Since they don’t want to be seen as gay, because other boys will call them gay if they walk on the rainbow. My country is the Netherlands btw.

Yes they might be pandering but they also reveal how people in society still have ingrained bigoted views. You can only really tackle these shortcomings in society if they reveal themselves.

But veganism at the core isn’t even about refusing to eat animal product. It’s about living a lifestyle that causes the least amount of suffering possible. Like some people would consider cocaine not vegan even though it’s not an animal product since an inconceivable amount of suffering is caused in the production and distribution of the product.

If a Star Trek food synthesizer exists that can make beef burgers out of carbon and hydrogen molecules, those burgers can be considered vegan since no suffering is involved.

Her first husband was Michael Sheen. I think that’s her type. A dweepy looking guy with a big slong and humor. It’s like a sleeper car or sleeper pc.

Distribute free sex robots and humanity would depopulate within two generations. Even better if the humans don’t know they are robots and believe they are an actually human who the humans think they are in a legitimate relationship with. Zero bloodshed takeover.

Yeah they have plenty of false friends. But that is also because a lot of words come from other languages not just English. Like how パン pan means bread, which comes from Portuguese Pão. The Chinese word Bao also has the same origin.

Here are some Japanese words that are false friends:

マンション literally Mansion but means apartment building or condominium.
コンセント Consent means electrical outlet.
バイキング　Viking means buffet.
パーカー Parka can also mean hoodie not just the jacket.
ハンドル Handle means steering wheel.
ハンドルキーパー Handle Keeper is designated driver.
トレーナー Trainer means sweatshirt

Or close false friends like ハイテンション high tension means very excited or energetic in a positive way unlike the English meaning.
ワイシャツ white shirt is a dress shirt but can be any color not just white. Probably because Japanese office worker dress code used to be a white dress shirt. Couldn’t even wear a light blue one.

When his fellow Hong Kongers were getting beat up by the cops during the umbrella protests Jackie Chan threw a party for a bunch of top ranking police officers and sang karaoke with them.

Many GenZ-ers can’t even read at a basic level expected from an adult. It’s by design.

They also ran on dirt and not tarmac or pavement.

“Ok , so?” - zout

Ok , so?

But fully solved in the computer science sense does mean calculating every scenario. The program needs to be able to calculate every possible end game based on the starting position on the board to know the perfect move set, that’s fully solved chess. Anything less than that is not mathematically solved in computer science.

It was the other showrunner, Craig Mazin, who said this. He doesn’t work in vidya gaems Though I can’t find the original source where he said it. So could be a shitpost.

Simen and his seamen friends are Norsemen

‘Member when Neil Druckmann and Sean Murray got personal death threats from Sony’s customers and Sony didn’t do shit. Hell Shuhei Yoshida even threw Murray under the bus for the PR hype disaster of No Man’s Sky during post release interviews instead of standing up for him even though Sony helped Hello Games in hyping the game.

Only now when Sony execs get threatened they do something.

Ian Miles Cheong is also just a grifter. He lives in Malaysia and isn’t even a US citizen.

Yes I am.

It’s funny when this Chinese Malaysian Cheong guy is probably not called Ian Miles on his passport.

Like it’s very common for Chinese people to have an unofficial English name that they’ve chosen themselves.

Preferred nouns for me not for thee

Still says Lake Ontario on my Apple Maps here in Europe and iOS even updated yesterday.

Botox and fillers.

I’ve blocked a shit ton of people here. I don’t care about open discussion when people are not interested in discussing in good faith in the first place. Also it’s just Lemmy I’m here for entertainment I don’t care about your whack ass opinion. The real discussions are done IRL face to face where people can’t hide behind an username. It’s not like the opinion of a permanently online basement dweller on the other side of the planet is important for the development of my world view when they don’t know anything about my country.
