“Deez”, likely a derivative of Latin “Deus”. They were clearly a god fearing people!

What the hell was the original context for this painting? 😆

That last “if” is a big one. Most of the time these relationships aren’t as clear headed and well thought out as you’re hoping they are. Hurt feelings are the norm, and hurt feelings of powerful people lead to revenge.

Oh damn, that’s very interesting to hear. I avoided watching it so thanks for taking one for the team and reporting back.

I prefer having your cake and fucking it, too.

What about the military parade shows disdain? Doesn’t it happening at all show support?

I used to be the type to want to consider a variety of opinions and play devil’s advocate. The last decade has radicalized me into being much more staunchly progressive. Stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything.

It’s an easy trap to fall into if you’re a generally open minded person I think. I didn’t want to follow the herd, and I didn’t want to take things at face value. Those aren’t bad ideals, but when living in a corrupt and dishonest world it basically means giving too much space to people who aren’t worth it.

“I have much more misery to inflict upon the industry first!”

I don’t know enough to be able to extrapolate anything from it, but sounds like there’s a lot to unpack for those like you who can.

I’m from Washington and I’m surprised we’re not higher. In the winter it’s dark during both morning and evening rush hour, meaning most people are doing their commutes in the dark. It can feel pretty dangerous sometimes.

How do you get third party protection? I’ve no desire to switch either but I don’t want to go without malware protection.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I would imagine tons of bot accounts being spun up just to wait for a bit would also be suspicious, right? But in that case they could be pruned before they did anything. I’m not a moderator, so don’t take anything I say as fact.

I think account age would be more useful than karma. Karma is just a game-able system, but I could see a very short age requirement being useful eventually if a lot of spam starts to happen. I don’t think we’re there yet, though.

I remember people doing that! I never did it myself (way too grindy for me), but it’s pretty crazy the game let you do it

Because they have ai controlled party members (and have since the beginning), it’s actually completely playable solo to this day.

You might be surprised how many people still play though.

Guild wars 1. I don’t play it often but every once in a while I get the itch. It’s honestly still really compelling.

I’ve heard this before and I honestly find it so irritating to read that I avoid wikis that do it. I’m not saying that’s rational, but it’s a real thing.

If you’re going to enforce a tense, make it present (but honestly don’t enforce a tense, it’s very awkward to read).

Simple to say, not so simple to do. I’d love to honestly.

And not the first time they’ve tried to slam something and actually made it look great instead.
