?

Is this a reference to elephants" supposed fear of mice, or just a 'big ear' joke?

Or a woman.

Ancient Greece, generally speaking, hated women

Yeah, this is what I do. It's actually what I've done for decades, even before going vegan; I've always been allergic to seafood and nuts, so omegas are kinda hard for me to get.

Ground flax is great in a lot of things, morning oatmeal and soups are probably the big ones (though, does make is 'gooey', but for soups, does make ot similar to adding flour to thicken).

Whole flax seeds are better in stuff you don't want 'thickened'.

Its the culture war mentality.

"Our idea would work, if the damn Wokes didn't stop us all from having guns at all times!"

Its always the reason why 'their ideas don't work'; cause their opponents aren't 'letting them'

I agree with the point this is trying to make, but I don't think it does its job.

Like, the whole argument from the 'good guy with a gun' crowd is about stopping them early. You'd need to cross reference each of these catagories with 'how many people did the mass shooter kill'. And, this would really only be a strong argument vs the 'good guy with a gun' point if the 'shot by bystander' result had no fewer average deaths.

Additionally, it's easy to clap back with 'well, yeah, our society doesn't have enough "good people" trained with guns, that's why it's only 5%!'

Again, I don't agree with those points, it's just that this chart is pretty bad at presenting an argument against them.

Eh, apples to oranges.

A 60$ game today is so unlike a 60$ two or three decades ago.

No physical medium. Much larger market and (potential at least) sales volume.

Proliferation of game engines; games don't need to 'reinvent the wheel' each time, or write machine code anymore.

On top of that, there's many other revenue streams. Not that I think this model is 'fair and good', but look at the mobile market, where a sale cost of $0 is king.

Something to be said about 'lower cost incentivizing bad practices' (as the article discusses), and yeah, some games could raise their price. But it's far fron 1-1, as 'sales volume' trumps 'sale price' in importance.

Never actually looked into this, though I did assume majority of these kinds of posts were some kind of bullshit. Thanks for the specifics!

I never gave it a chance, as theit practice of paying for exclusivity is infuriating to me.

Make your shit better. Hell, make it comparable, and charge a lower cit (so devs make more), and I'd support then.

Paying to make the market more closed off sucks.

538 no longer has Nate Silver or his model; Disney bought it and fired him like a year ago or so.

Still, I agree; I don't like his politics, but his analysis of polls and numbers is probably the best out there.

Those do usually need a fridge and sink though. Not sure if it's a code requirement, but all the ones I've seen had that.

Might be why the call it a 'wellness room', instead of a mothers room; doesn't meet the legal requirements.

Yes! Probably my favorite forage item, lucky enough tonhave it grow fairly frequently in the woods behind my parents house

Couldn't disagree more. The stuff I liked about ER feel disconnected from the open world, and I feel likes its sprawling reptative scope detracted enjoyment from it for me.
