@DiscussingFilm What absolute elitist nonsense, @Sethrogen. Just look at this to see how wrong you are.
Spielberg and Scorsese could never.

@Rainmaker1973 Now show us how random mutations, 99.99% which are deleterious, the majority of the remainder net neutral, none of which have been observed adding new information, can pull off the exact same miracle multiple times.
There is a God who created all things.

Over the last 250 million years, at least five completely unrelated lineages of crustaceans have independently evolved into crab-like forms, a phenomenon so common that biologists gave it its own name: carcinization.
And despite decades of study, scientists still don’t fully understand why it keeps happening.
Detailed evolutionary research shows that “crabbiness”, the distinctive wide, flattened body, tucked tail, and armored shell, has appeared, disappeared, and sometimes reappeared across different branches of the crustacean family tree. In one of the strangest cases, king crabs actually re-evolved crab-like traits after their ancestors had already lost them (a process called decarcinization).
This repeated convergence suggests the crab body plan offers powerful survival advantages. Crabs are incredibly successful and adaptable, thriving in virtually every marine and coastal environment on Earth — from coral reefs and rainforests to deep-sea vents and underground caves.
Their sideways scuttling allows quick directional changes while keeping an eye on predators, and their hard exoskeleton provides excellent protection. Yet the mystery remains: some crab-like species walk forward, others have ditched the shell entirely, and plenty of non-crab crustaceans do just fine without ever evolving into crabs.
The real fascination for biologists lies in what this tells us about evolution itself: under certain environmental pressures, nature seems to repeatedly converge on the same highly effective solutions — almost as if the crab shape is one of evolution’s favorite “optimal” designs.

@uti1ity27 @Rainmaker1973 you sound incredibly stupid. you do get assumptions and questions have to be made so they can research to prove or disprove that notion right? go back to watching football.
English

@Rainmaker1973 SMH. Just more garbage "science". Assumptions built on assumptions built on assumptions, now so far from anything resembling actual scientific investigation yet almost no one questions it any more. Ridiculous.

@maisumdisfarce5 @E0_nyx they can't afford things! i struggle to afford my healthcare as a disabled person, i struggle to get the things i enjoy due to the prices here making me worry about getting the basics. why should i have to shut up about it because other ppl also experience it?
English

@maisumdisfarce5 @E0_nyx this is incredibly dismissive. and as a latino-american yes i've seen prices in both brazil and the us. doesn't mean i can afford things in EITHER country. your resentment is directed at the wrong people. stop making it the oppression olympics, people are ALLOWED to complain that
English

@rllycoolfemX3 @E0_nyx this. i'm mixed - so i'm not just american, but i live in the US. i am so tired of people thinking just because we get 'xyz' we take things for granted. no we don't?? we have bigger issues. no one says this shit about like, JP getting the merch we don't get in the west??
English

@E0_nyx It’s just weird to leverage it against people like genuinely you guys can be really cruel and not realize the absolute hypocrisy of it, like most Americans also hate living in America, sorry we aren’t all sunshine in rainbows because we have cons we can’t afford to go to.

@Syrenity64 @JustBatera @E0_nyx we CHOSE to get into it and we chose to get into it for the wrong reasons.

@JustBatera @E0_nyx Nah, I just blame Israel. I do for getting us in the holy war that wasn’t our’s to fight.

@lavdenderwitch @0hReaper @MarvelRivals it's still smurfing when you use it for competitive, even if they're blasting through the low ranks fast they're still ruining someone's game experience for that match.
English

This has never been against Marvel Rivals or Overwatch rules lol. You can’t make someone use one account and since Marvel doesn’t have role queue, plus due to the nature of MMR/SR in general, it is extremely beneficial to have an alt account if you want to rank up really high and keep that rank. Regardless of how much you dislike it, it is incredibly doubtful it will ever become a bannable offense. Besides, alt accounts aren’t the same as smurfing. Smurfs stay in low elo on purpose so they can stomp on people in lower ranks repeatedly, or sabatoge matches, etc. Content creators usually just rank up and that’s it. They blow through low ranks so fast it doesn’t even affect you lmao.

Strict Enforcement Against Mouse Macro Usage
Dear Rivals,
Recently, our scanners have picked up some anomalies in the timestream: some players are using mouse macros during matches. Executing abnormal combo sequences or achieving actions beyond normal human hand speed gives these users an unfair extra advantage. This severely undermines game fairness, negatively affects the competitive experience of honest players, and has a detrimental impact on the overall gaming environment.
Therefore, we would like to make the following clear statement:
The use of mouse macros is a strict violation of our rules.
Whether you're using macros to pull off impossible combos or to achieve superhuman APM you are destroying the fairness of the game. Once confirmed, we will bring the hammer down strictly in accordance with our rules.
Let's be perfectly clear: letting a machine do the work for you is absolutely not "skill." Macros are just an unfair advantage gained through villainous means.
To maintain a fair and healthy gaming environment, we have further strengthened our detection and identification capabilities regarding mouse macro behavior. For accounts confirmed to be using mouse macros through system detection and manual review, we will take penalizing measures based on the severity of the circumstances, including but not limited to the following:
• Matchmaking Suspension
• Temporary Account Ban
• Long-term Account Ban
• Permanent Ban
We urge all players to cherish your accounts and not to take chances. Any attempt to gain an unfair advantage through mouse macros will be met with serious consequences.
We are committed to providing a fair, just, and healthy competitive environment for all players. Thank you for your ongoing understanding and support of our efforts to maintain game integrity. We encourage all players to actively report violations. Stay vigilant, keep fighting for justice, and let's defend the integrity of our Chronoverse, side by side!

@e29716767 @pr7de @MarvelRivals do you understand that aim assist doesnt magically give you skill? what next, adding accessibility features for disabled gamers or allowing a reduction/increase in dpi is hypocrisy? aim assist and macros are not remotely the same, and EVERYONE has access to the former.
English

@pr7de @MarvelRivals Hipocrisy, meanwhile they added aim assist on controller

@SwCw1409 @cowgirlsrusinc This is my first time buying a zine and genuinely all i've seen (and experienced) make me never want to buy another or preorder another. esp w/o public updates or otherwise.
English

@cowgirlsrusinc I will literally never buy another zine or pre-order its put such a bad taste in my mouth like wtf is wrong with people in fandom always stealing money.
English

@SoapJournalZine @SwCw1409 @cowgirlsrusinc Hey! I've emailed y'all and haven't recieved a reply and I believe I sent it out 2-3 months ago now.
English

@SwCw1409 @cowgirlsrusinc You should’ve received a reply now :)
English

@Ramen_bowll @purplerose1414 @SoapJournalZine preorders have already been done and are shipping out, you cant order
English

@purplerose1414 @SoapJournalZine Can you ping me if you get help on this? I didn't know about the zine until hella recently and I want to snag a copy too :(
English

@callsignbudgie @SoapJournalZine I think there was a poll about doing a second run, but no idea what came of it! The zine is really gorgeous so I hope you do get a chance to get it if they rerun!
English

@SoapJournalZine Will there be an option to buy an ebook/digital version? :”)

@SoapJournalZine im waiting for Captain bundle and im soooo excited!!!

@klopfersweb @Nychta1005 @ksononair yep, just don't donate to them and then vshojo won't get anything but you can absolutely keep supporting talents. idk why people think it's an end all be all when it comes to cases where talents can be separated from their agencies
English

@Nychta1005 @ksononair Basically every talent has removed VShojo from their twitter handles (so a lot of them might be on the way out) and VShojo doesn't earn anything from the streams anyway. You can stay subscribed to the talents, they need their fans' support.

@Electrohead777 @AbroadInJapan @CDawgVA just because nothing is shocking anymore doesn't stop making bad things bad. it's not dramatic.

@Gandeloft @CDawgVA @grok ironmouse has left vshojo and made claims that vshojo not only owes her money, but also pocketed 500k meant for charity for the immune deficiency foundation. you could've also searched this up without using ai and gotten a better answer
