I still think it's funny that I grew up hearing this phrase to describe God. I find it as arrogant now as I did then.

I was today years old when I learned Danny Elfman
...yes, Batman, Spider-Man, Beetlejuice, Danny Elfman...
....was also the lead singer of Oingo Boingo, the 80s and 90s (kinda) New Wave band known for Weird Science, Dead Man's Party, etc.
Huh.

I'm not arguing against free feminine hygiene products in public spaces. I will say, "duh." This statement is pretending "everybody poops" and "women bleed at puberty" are the exact same story. One actually is universal. The other is half the ADULT population.

@synticat0r @TheMiddleborne I'll be sure to tell the women I know who run like that that they don't actually run like that.

@TheMiddleborne The female actor was specifically asked to move like that. No woman in real life ever runs like that lol, it’s there to set her character

Little known fact (unless you're actually a gamer). The best animation comes from motion capture of actors.

@JessePeltan The biggest reason this kind of argument exists is implementation. We COULD cover government buildings with solar panels. Instead we cover viable farmland. We could do efficient, instead we do stupid. Then everyone argues with each other.
English
You guys do realize that the solar panels you need to power a house *FIT ON THE HOUSE*
The batteries hang on a wall. The scale should not be hard to understand.
Constellation Clean Energy@CEGCleanEnergy
To power 100,000 homes for an hour: ⚛️ Nuclear: a tennis ball of uranium 🚌 Coal: two school buses of fuel ☀️ Solar: thousands of football fields of solar panels – plus massive batteries at night Higher energy density means lower land usage, cost and environmental impact.

@AntiCommieBecca While you're asking, you might also ask what the commonalities actually are. Is it that highly ambitious men crave evil things? Is it the environment they engage in once wealthy? Where does the actual corruption come in? All worth asking, but don't just reduce it to wealth.
English
This actually is a really interesting point/piece. It appears nearly ALL super wealthy men engage in this type of behavior.
So if every man who has money does this, does that in turn mean that every man WOULD engage in these behaviors if he could?
Is it solely money and lack of opportunity that keeps men from becoming evil?
And if that is the case, if the nature of humanity, particularly the human male is to be evil, what does that mean about God? Why would he create a species with the inherent nature of being evil?
I know this is getting a bit existential, but if you take the emotional out, these are interesting things to ponder.

@McFranchisee That depends on timetable. They got more fake before they pivoted and got better.

Here’s the issue, before, we did NOT break down every single ingredient. We might have said “bun,” “cheese,” etc instead.
Now we list every single ingredient for 100% transparency (many don’t do this, such as Steak ’n Shake, you have no clue what’s actually in their food). We list every single ingredient in a slice of cheese or every ingredient in a bun.
@McDonalds will even break down the type of flour or even seed oil - not list vegetable oil or four.
It’s not that the ingredients have changed, in fact, they have only gotten cleaner. We have removed artificial flavors, preservatives, and additives in our sandwiches, including HFCS in our buns (ex pickles).
Almost all of these social media McD posts are incorrect, including the fry one that always get recirculated.
These posts are laughable and present the opposite what has actually occurred.
healthbot@thehealthb0t
Older people saying that they ate or drank this junk as a child and are fine, well, large difference in ingredients over the last few decades
English
@Hitchslap1 That would be interesting and funny. We'd find some of the people who get called smart aren't high IQ and some people called morons are quiet geniuses.
English
There's the angle that people saying this are callous. Then, there's realizing sometimes, accepting weakness isn't what people need to be strong.

I am tired of "mental illness." I am sick of people claiming that they cannot do normal things required of normal people in life because they have "anxiety" or "depression" or "ADHD." This is bullshit. If you lived in any other time in history (or in many other places in the world), you would have no choice but to get on with it. Claiming you can't do basic things like buy groceries, go to work, cook, or go outside and engage with human beings or the world because of "anxiety" or "depression" only makes your problems worse, and is also not true! Of course you can do these things! You just don't want to. And maybe it's hard. And I understand that these things can feel hard when you're struggling, but the question is: do you want to get better? Do you want your life to improve? If so, you have to get on with it! You have to do things you don't want to do like go outside and see people and go to work and go to the gym and walk your dog and get off the couch. I swear to god we were better off when all these labels for various normal humans and experiences didn't exist.

@eep2378 @berengue_r @MeghanEMurphy What do you say to people who've suffered from severe depression and this was exactly how they overcame it?
"You don't understand?"
English
@berengue_r @MeghanEMurphy Ok folks are missing the point here. Yes, exercise can help depression. Individuals suffering from depression can’t do basic things like eating, showering, brushing teeth, etc. Telling them to just get off the couch means you don’t understand depression.

i refuse to believe people with high IQs struggle to fit in with society.
You’re essentially playing a game, and you’re trying to say the smartest people playing the game, can’t figure out how to play it?
It makes no sense, likely comes from people who think they’re smarter than they are and are struggling.
English
@Michael_Druggan @Degen_CPA Yes. I know several gifted people who feel like they'd be violating their core values if they do what they know would make them successful.
English
When it comes to high IQ autism it's often not so much that the person can't figure out what the socially acceptable action would be in a certain situation but that their value system is oriented such the socially acceptable path feels viscerally wrong and conforming would feel like a betrayal of their values.
English
Refusal to believe does not negate a thing. People being unpredictable and confusing to someone making logical decisions isn't that hard to grasp. We all have our own flaws, and that includes those of high IQ.

@zhengyingli @MadamSavvy Thanks. That's the basic narrative I remember from the time, too. There were a lot of games with silly, almost chibi proportions. A lot of caricature style imagery with only the whiners really complaining. It surprised me a little when anyone started taking it seriously.
English
@KwadeTweeling @MadamSavvy It seems like a site-wide update instead of an editorial one since several game reviews of that time I looked up all have the same May 2012 update message and others on 2018. Plus, here's the original archived on 1999. web.archive.org/web/1999101004…

In order for lara croft to have gotten where she is for the activists to bastardize her, she had to be popular in the first place.
Men were the target audience and they made her famous.
Same with samus. Same with any number of females.
Stellar blade destroys your narrative.
Its activists pushing ugly agenda bullshit thats the issue. We all know youre too stupid to get that though.
I dont want to play as an ugly bald bitch with “im too good for this” personality.
Maybe if you morons didnt attack everything and just made your own thing, none of this would have happened.

... Depends on the 10 year old. An intelligent tech savvy 10 year old would run circles around an adult used to Windows. Just getting acclimated to Linux early instead of getting used to Windows first, could help create a computer genius. 🤷

Just saw someone suggest Linux for a 10 year old that’s never had a computer. I’m so tired of Linux snobs.

@zhengyingli @MadamSavvy "Updated 2012."
What was updated? Could have been the whole thing.
I do remember Tomb Raider causing a stir at the time. Just don't assume edited info is original.

@MadamSavvy Out of curiosity, I checked out what journos thought about Lara's proportions back in the day, and it seems she never had a chance considering IGN did apologetics for her figure right from the get-go as a disclaimer. This was back in '96.

@doffcocker Knowing the character and seeing that smirk, that may be the whole point.
