I was talking more about the Netflix series, both the original and Nocturne feature very supernatural beings who nevertheless have the agency that is key in calling either party to the fight a person for the sake of man vs X

Mostly because it’s seen as hipster and mostly straight white dudes were the most enthusiastic adopters of the hipster aesthetic.

Plus a lot of different cultures have different cultural traditions related to preferred drink and drinking practices, not all of which lend themselves easily, or even safely, to homebrewing.

Third World is an outdated term to refer to neutral countries in the cold war.

Unless there was a sudden dramatic shift in US geopolitical policy it would literally be impossible for it to be considered third world, as the very definition of third world as the definition inherently implies that the country in question is not allied with the US and the broader Western World.

Austria and Switzerland were third world, technically Yugoslavia was too. China became third world for a decent stretch after the sino-soviet split since the other half of the definition relies on not being allied with the Soviets in particular.

The use of third world as an insult for poor countries is a neo-colonial mindset that just takes for granted that anyone who isn’t an outright ally of the west or of the Russians must just be too poor to be worth considering as anything but uneducated people in dirt houses living subsistence lifestyles and who’s main interaction with an apparatus of state is occasionally seeing a humvee loaded up with the child soldiers of this warlord or that drive by.

I would say when two opposing personified forces clash it becomes a man vs man fight.

IMO Man to Man covers peer against peer as well as literal fights between two normal human beings.

Fights between particular vampires in the Castlevania series would also be considered man to man even if they are very specifically not human, they are still people with thought process and human level decision making ability, so man vs man conflict still applies.

If you’re gonna be putting a number lock or anything of the sort on anything, make it a lock box to keep the key for the door in.

Focus on a secure key lock instead of trying to find a better alternative, the best you can do is a harder to pick key lock.

I believe that this is the last off ramp we have before it’s Biden or it’s Trump. The only reason this discussion is worth entertaining is because people who haven’t hated Biden’s guts from go are raising the concern now too, but since it’s being had, we’d best have it now before the conference locks him in like it or not.

I think the criticisms of his fitness for office are dramatically overblown and stem from a general lack of public awareness that, even setting aside his reputation of being a gaffe machine long predating any concerns about his age, the man has a speech impediment and has to put concentration into communicating clearly that most people don’t. There could be a full blown super computer operating in his head and we’d probably still see him flubbing about as often I believe.

That being said, what is a valid concern is that his inability to communicate clearly without direct attention on doing so has lost him enough morale that there is open talk even among his staff of the viability of a mutiny, and I’m not so sure he’s still got time to definitively route the scheming before the convention. I’m thinking more and more he’s gonna get challenged on the floor and the DNC will force a brokered convention to make Joe fight for the nomination if he wants it with the rising concerns.

This conversation isn’t going away on its own. A decision has to be made and implemented thoroughly, and without any fucking about over it.

If they’ve got favorite colors or colors that hold special meaning to them, prioritize gems with those colors over diamonds.

Even elaborate pieces will still be cheaper than an equivalent diamond ring because the prices are that overinflated for those things.

Also if they like purple, see if you can get the body of the ring in purple gold if it’s in the budget, might not be as much of a cost conscious choice as seeking alternative gems but it’ll look sick!

I thought Whatsapp was the big family communication hotness outside the US, are they able to use that?

It’s different for everyone, but if someone gets in your head in a way that the first thing you think when you enjoy something is that you’d enjoy it even more if they were there to share it with you, to quote the big pizza pie, that’s amore! Or rather, it’s romantic feelings that are fertile ground for full blown love to grow from.

From there it’s all about how your emotions feel to you.

Vigilantism is wildly unhelpful to the proper authorities, at best, you’ve put yourself in a position of immediate escalation with someone who is clearly able to be presumed as capable of heinous crimes of the violent variety, at worst, you’ve spoiled a years long investigation by showing the hand to the target that people have started to catch on to who they really are, allowing them to book it to a no extradition country.

How much do construction workers make today?

Depending on where you’re at, Tryst . link will be a good resource, there are some folks who specialize in helping out people who are struggling with loneliness or mental health problems associated with sex, and there’s also folks who specialize in just being good for people who don’t feel confident they know what they’re doing, everyone I’ve met has genuinely also been a cool person to get to know.

If they ask for ID when initially contacting them, that’s actually a positive sign, sting operators will usually skip straight to trying aggressively to get you to outright say you are offering to pay for sex to use as evidence to prosecute you, if they’re taking their time to know if they can trust you before they even begin talking about setting a date, they’re most likely trustworthy.

Also, a lot of them will have way reduced rates for normal outing style dates if you wanna get to know them before you feel comfortable really getting to know them. If their adverts talk about also being a healer or some spiritual feelings towards their work, good sign. Not because they’re more likely to be legit, just because that means you’re gonna get someone who when you’re ready for it is probably gonna get feelings out of you that you didn’t even know you were capable of.

You’ll also be able to look for not escort sex workers too if you just want a massage or for someone to tie you up and spank you for a bit.

Twitter’s algorithm, like most social media companies, promotes rage bait on purpose because angry users are users that get into flame wars with other users and as a result, raise engagement metrics to show advertisers.

It might stop if you just don’t engage for long enough, but honestly, just consider a different site altogether if you need microblog stuff in your system, Twitter is going the way of Blockbuster.

Or just the fact that achieving space farring tech in effect makes you a post scarcity civilization.

Thanos wasn’t called Mad because his people deemed his ideas too radical, it was because even the premise of his plan was based on him being as dumb as a sack of rocks.

“We have Thanos at home”

The Thanos at Home:

I think some of them have a tendency towards hot take angst. They feel pressure to pull spicy opinions out their asses.

Only one I’ve seen be mostly unaffected by this os Kraut, and that’s mostly because he’s just taken for granted until recently that all his vids were gonna be demonetized and has a day job instead of making his living solely off clicks.

Well him and Historia Civilis if you wanna split hairs on how much history commentary should be considered political commentary in the same way as punditry, that and HC is by no means shy sharing his opinions on the political matters which do arise in his videos, especially recently, he doesn’t like clocks.

Can you elaborate? I feel like this kind of discussion needs detailing to produce answers worth listening to.

No, the point remains though that the rules of their universe would be connected to the rules of ours. The simulation designer would not be creative enough to design a universe that didn’t fall somewhere on the spectrum of having a complete inversion of the rules of their universe or having an exact copy of the rules of their universe.

The design of ours is constrained by the context which the designer is starting from, because there are natural limits to what would be conceivable even to the denizen of a universe completely different from our own in its make.

We can’t infer the rules directly from this information, but we can draw conclusions about what they wouldn’t be.

Like determining the inputs of a function by reversing operations and using the outputs of the original as the inputs for that…only a lot less exact because universal rules aren’t (always) numbers.

Which still indicates ours being influenced by theirs.
