I disagree, the poor would be worse off without public transit since else it’d be much harder for them to move around. In fact many if not most public transit systems are subsidized and operate at a loss.

The richer don’t use it and so care little, beyond the macro level that it benefits businesses and such.

If it’s a honor system that you don’t obey, are we to conclude you are without honor? ^^

It says Corvette C7 Z06 on the top one, so it can easily be compared to the underbody of the real one, which doesn’t really look like that.

Imo the tie and shirt do work together, but they’re both quite light and washed-out, so the waistcoat being much darker than both prevents the tie from popping out the way it should. To rephrase : if I squint, I can’t really make out the tie from the shirt compared to the waistcoat.

Changing just one thing, a rich/dark red tie or perhaps a lighter waistcoat might work well here.

Otherwise I think you’re pretty fly :)

FYI the french high school curriculum includes lessons on (de-)colonisation, painting it as unjust and racist.

• At some point, a limiting factor just becomes art direction and budget. You can have all the fancy techniques you want, but you still need to make detailed textures, animations, etc.

Very possibly generative AI will alleviate this, although it has yet to produce convincing 3d models or animations.

According to MK, he was written to be gay, but higher-ups had him make his relationship with Huna ambiguous.

You should look up Fishman Fluence pickups, they’ve been all the rage in metal circles for a few years and they are in fact made by stacking PCB-like layers rather than in the traditional way.

Even going as far as calling her husband an asshole (might be true, I’m not married to the dude).

You misunderstood the text, the sentence is :

If only I got a penny for every time someone said: you don’t look like a computer scientist, I could be Mackenzie Scott without having to marry an asshole.

She’s calling Jeff Bezos an asshole, not her own husband.

Bash has an option for that you can put in your .bashrc:

bind "set completion-ignore-case on"

Other interesting options exist

You think people shouldn’t be allowed to… file lawsuits? This is all that has happened so far, there is no court decision yet.

Not biologically, but in heart!

“4 chords” is a cool mashup but it’s not really a valid point in this conversation.

The songs in “4 chords” don’t use the same 4 chords, because they are higher and lower than that. So you might say they use the same progression, but that’s not true either, because they’re not always constantly in the same order. So the best you can say is “it’s possible to interpret pitch- and tempo-adjusted excerpts of these songs back-to-back”, which isn’t a very strong claim.

In fact there’s a lot of things separating the songs in “4 chords”; such as structure, arrangement, rhythm, lyrics, or production. Another fact is that it’s perfectly possible to use these four chords in a way that you’ve never heard before and would likely find bizarre – it’s a bit of meme, but limitation really can breed creativity.

This isn’t to defend the lack of creativity in the big music industry. But there’s more to it than just saying “4 chords” to imply all musicians do is follow an established grid.

First, what makes you think we can? It’s a strong claim to put forth without evidence.

Second, I won’t be there in the future, so I’d like things not get too bad in the meantime.

The god that gave His faithful the ten commandments and has His church promise heaven or hell depending on behavior exists outside of morality ? He literally defines it.

In my opinion labels aren’t all that meaningful anyway, they’re more for marketing/propaganda and grouping people into teams than accurately representing ideas.

It was the other way around, Philip was trying to conquer Greece and he figured sending a threatening letter to Sparta might be enough, since at that point they were about powerless.

So the invasion was always planned and the courtesy of the answer didn’t matter.

This is interesting but not really justified historically. Celsius predates the concept of absolute zero, and water is very important to our world, not just ourselves.

Je pense que c’est facile de se réjouir de la mise au pas de la Hongrie au sein de l’union (d’autant que c’est la preuve de son bénéfice économique) et c’est un bon avertissement de la part du Monde Diplo que de faire remarquer que ça pourrait se retourner contre nous.

Cela dit je trouve ce passage particulièrement douteux :

visant implicitement la Russie, un pays où la Wehrmacht a laissé vingt-six millions de cadavres.

C’est vraiment une comparaison bas du front, on pourrait aussi bien dire “la Russie, un pays qui a envahi un pays proche de l’Allemagne, a installé une dictature sur un tiers de son territoire cinquante ans durant, et en occupe encore une partie (Königsberg/Kaliningrad)”

This isn’t completely fair, Bethesda addressed the issue in universe and there are multiple authors arguing about this and why that is. It plays very well with the rest of the lore which is all about conflicting accounts and variety of interpretation.

If I recall correctly the three in-universe theories are (1) it’s an error and there never was a jungle (2) there was a jungle but Talos CHIMed it away (3) there was a jungle when the high elves (Ayleids) lived there, but when the humans took over the white-gold tower changed the landscape to suit them.

Unfortunately, /r/teslore has no fediverse equivalent that I know of so I wouldn’t know where to have this kind of discussion.
