Make sure you use organic short half life poisons. Don’t poison the surrounding areas with rainwater runoff just because you want to live in a nightmarish hellscape.

Desolate responsibly.

Avacado prices REALLY depend on where you live and what season. If you’re in most of California, its a lot easier to get cheap avacados that are also high quality.

That’s called politicking, which they absolutely should be doing.

You’re indirectly getting laws through by twisting arms and making deals instead of just having a majority.

Plenty have been directly pressuring Republican congresspeople by rallying in their district like Sanders did this last week.

Direct legislative action is difficult without control, but in terms of effective messaging and pressuring Republicans by threatening the midterms is probably one of the more effective strategies they have.

Its not like they’re terrible and you need to power through, the early chapters go through arcs pretty quickly, and other than syrup village I don’t think any are really bad, just not quite the peak that justifies reading 1000+ chapters, but if you don’t think by the end of the first 50 or so chapters there’s anything to offer, and aren’t loving it by 100 then its probably not for you.

Like Baratie has some pretty epic battles, really great character moments in orange town, and Arlong Park is when it really hits its stride.

I like to say, if you don’t like the East Blue Saga, its probably not for you, but you kind of need to power through some of the earlier arcs as the author establishes the world and tone. If you don’t like it because Syrup Village is kind of a mess, you could easily miss out on a great series.

If watching 100hrs implies you enjoy it, then of course if you watch enough of it you will eventually enjoy it. You’re just not big brained enough to understand media literacy.

Define done? Even if the government gets completely dismantled in the short term, who knows what will happen in 10 years time. It will definitely take longer than that to rebuild our position of authority and influence in the global stage, if we ever achieve that, but it’s definitely doable in our lifetimes.

If they mean AI upscaling, where you take a low resolution image then generate a higher resolution one then sure.

But it will be a while before they have full AI rendering, if ever. AI generation isn’t super precise when it comes to details and for games precision usually matters a lot unless it’s like a narrative game. You probably can’t use an arbitrary but close color for an enemy for example or have health bars look close enough.

Following the rules doesn’t make you a good person. It’s why you break the rules that does. A lot of people think of Luigi Mangione as good even if they wouldn’t have done what he did. Same goes for many protesters who break laws against things like vandalism to protest human rights abuses. I think most people would agree genocide and forced labor are worse than breaking laws against vandalism.

People saw potential in the company and wanted to get in before other people drove up the price.

If later on it looks like Musk can’t deliver on that potential then peotare going to start selling Tesla stock really quickly.

Money also buys things that enable you to explore things.

Like if you buy an instrument you’re usually out $100-200 at a minumum especially if you add on books and accessories. but learning it can be super rewarding for years.

Are muppets disturbed by us, and think we’re muppets with skin and flesh?

Absolutely, or it’s like an internet liberal thing not a real person thing.

I was at a puzzle meet and had brought a harry Potter puzzle and had a moment of “oh shit, JK Rowling is not the best choice for this group” but no one actually cared for something that tangentially transphobic.

That’s an interesting one. It’s not like you can stop music and explain the instrumentation in the middle of a song. I have seen in live shows when they use uncommon instruments they’ll explain it either at the start or between songs.

I think a big part of appropriation is either pretending the thing is from a different culture or just divorcing it from any existing cultural context. People just don’t think about what an actual effect is so just knee jerk accuse anything vaguely similar of cultural appropriation.

And then fortnite dance in their face while they’re hunched over.

Wow, I can’t believe you’d just ignore Girl’s Generation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls’_Generation

That’s why you should always check the reviews of any hacking organization before letting them hack you.

I mean, what was the post? Some things that are posted are offensive whether or not you intended that and it’s not unreasonable for someone to comment on that.

If it’s happening to someone so often they need to physically move to a different platform, maybe they should pay more attention to what their saying and the audience you say it to.

Like if I’m with friends and someone makes a dead baby joke, I’d probably laugh, if someone recently had a miscarriage the reaction to that joke will be very different.

I wouldn’t expect a lot of 4chan jokes to fly in normal society and if you can’t engage with normal society without making 4chan appropriate jokes, maybe you need to work on your conversational skills.
