Ah, yes. "Interpretation", of a thousands-year-old text, originally written by men to control other men, in Hebrew and translated at least three times in sequence before reaching even the predecessor of the popular King James Bible, then the apostles wrote the whole New Testament at minimum 50 years after all the alleged events contained within and possibly up to a couple hundred years later, then the whole thing was gutted, reordered and rewritten by old King James himself, then it was passed through the grubby mitts of between 10 and 30 generations of southern baptist-esque preacher before finally reaching the ears of the modern avid churchgoer.

If you think a single word in that book still holds the original meaning that it was written with, and more so if you think any part of that book is a factual account of events, I have several bridges to sell you. If not even that is enough to spark a little bit of self reflection, I invite you to investigate the Mormons and see what happens when religious ""interpretation"" is allowed to run free without restraint.

Emacs is a text editor at its core, just like vim. The difference is that emacs is extendable. You can write, or install, custom packages for it to make it do damn near anything you ever want, far, far above and beyond just text processing.

Vim is simple and unobtrusive, it has a job and it performs that job and nothing else. It is the purest essence of a text editor. Emacs is an all purpose tool that can be tweaked and changed based on your current or future needs. They appeal to different types of nerds.

Barrier free washrooms should not exist anywhere, for any reason. What the fuck are you on about. Have some sense of basic human rights and privacy, please.

If you want to go drop a turd on live TV, that's on you, but under no circumstances are the rest of us to be subjected to that. Absolutely fucking not.

I spent 12 years in American public school during which greater than 70% of the student body had cell or smart phones and 100% of them were successfully banned. If the phone is visible during the school day and you aren't currently receiving a phone call from the President or from your parents on their way to the hospital, phone goes in the teacher's desk. You get it back at the end of the day.

Its not that difficult at all.

Do you want an American Sengoku Warring States era? Because this is how you build an American Sengoku Warring States era. It would very rapidly devolve into multiple self-contained nations each lorded over by a different billionaire. They would each come with their own schools and housing and military. It would be the end of whatever United we still have left in our States.

It works well for zebras, who travel in herds. Their stripe pattern, similar to dazzle, makes it difficult to differentiate individuals from the group and isolate a single one. For an army in marching formation, or otherwise on the move in a group, it could serve to make it difficult to tell exactly how many soldiers are in your group. But it isn't going to work as classic "camo", of course, nobody is going to not see you.

It feels like a... trojan issue

Therefore Trump sounds like the actual idiot that he is, and Biden is performing as expected of a president.

Not sure what your point is here beyond just playing yourself and shutting down your own argument.

It's because the sites refuse to police misinformation in any form. You want attention on that, you have to say something that someone in charge of that cares about. Falsely reporting their death is an easy, legal and fun way to make a content moderator or site owner or CEO pause and say "hey wait a minute"

Relatively simple actually, without copyright. Download Spotify, rename app to Spudify, re-upload to app store. Done, easy peasy. Hardest part about it would be decompiling the existing app, which is definitely possible and may not even be necessary.

The real truth is, however, that in this hypothetical world there would be no Spotify to copy and there would be much, much less music available to stream on Spudify.

I've played like 60 games and barely have any idea wtf is going on, good luck lmao

My advice is to pick something relatively low impact like janitor or bartender if it's available and just try and hang out and see what happens. Or just be an assistant but people tend to ignore you or grief you if you're assistant. Some of the more complex roles, if you're interested in trying them, such as engineering or botany, are greatly benefited by figuring out how to host a private server to log on to and practice outside of a real game. Medical, at least as of a couple years ago when I last played, is pretty formulaic and as long as you know what operation you need to perform and have the supplies to do it, you can just follow a wiki page recipe.

Don't trust sec, don't trust the clown, if anyone outside of your departnent is being exceptionally nice to you they're probably going to stuff your corpse in a locker 20 minutes from now if you don't help them kidnap HoP. Learn to be robust. Rules (both social, and actual game rules and code) will differ, sometimes greatly, depending what server you're currently on, but reading the Goonstation wiki should give you approximate knowledge of most things.

If you roll antagonist, God be with you, and know that we've all royally bungled many an antag objective, most especially when new. Just try to have as much fun as you can, the points don't matter anyway.

Make them? Slap a $3.99 sticker on it and they'll line up around the block to purchase their little symbols.
