But China is capitalist.

It is indeed curious that a place called “no stupid questions” is rampant with US defaultism.

Nothing to salvage from that mess of a live-service slop.

If a camera is pointed directly at the trash cans, there would be no blind spot from which they could move them.

The US election system is stupid, antiquated and corrupt. As long as it isn’t reformed (of which it itself prevents ever happening), the lesser evil is all you will ever get from that system.

Have you ever been to a tankie instance here on lemmy? You should try and broaden your horizons, because it sounds like you are arguing from ignorance.

“I’ve been told this [obviously made up strawman]. So which is it, the [obviously made up strawman] or the other thing?”

Hmm, difficult choice there, buddy.

The amount of people that seem to think their little bit of homecooking can compete with professional chef’s is laughable.

It definitely can, and you are showing your inexperience with cooking by making this argument. Cooks are people who are professionally trained in cooking, but you know what, most processes involved in cooking are the same whether you are a professional or not, so amateurs are perfectly capable of achieving the same level of perfection as cooks for a whole range of basic elements of cooking.

You seem to be unable to imagine that people can have opinions that differ from your own. You seem to have the need to have even the most basic concepts explained to you. even though lots of people have already done so numerous times in this thread alone.

It depends on the type of person you are. There are better things to relieve stress for you. For others cooking can be very effective at that.

We are all different, try to imagine that. No really, you should be aware of that.

Do you if that it what you feel. But personally your mindset seems extremely exhausting to me, especially your work addiction.

But again, you are free to do whatever suits you best.

Cooking rules. It can be an excellent anti-stress ritual as well.

It wasn’t. A lot of the copy protection was the game asking for the word on a particular page and line in the manual. When you pirated the game (which was easy, since it was literally just copying the disk to another disk), you photocopied the manual as well. Or rather photocopied the photocopy of the manual, I didn’t see a lot of original games for the PC and Commodore 64 back in the 80s, but I sure had hundreds if not thousands of games.

I guess the colour thing was probably a method of circumventing the photocopier, because colour photocopiers were not really generally available back then.

I know Americans are born with a fear of decimals. But that is not a phobia the rest of the world partakes in. With decimals there is an infinite amount of unit of measurement between freezing and boiling point of water, which according to your system makes celsius infinitely better than fahrenheit.

They are indeed very wrong. Their percentage is gauged for a very specific climate, and is entirely subjective. You may personally and subjectively think it suits you, but it is not objectively a better unit to use for weather in the slightest. It would make no sense where I live for example.

Spoken like somebody who doesn’t experience freezing degrees very often.

It is not average Earth temperature though.

Those “social benefits” are band-aids needed because of a non-functioning government solution like a non-fath based welfare state. The reason you don’t see them as much in functioning countries, is because they are needed much less.

There was once a theory that the reason for the difference in which side a vehicle is driving on the road today, stems from whether a country had many stretches of untamed wilderness with lots of bandits. So if there was a high likelihood that whoever you met on the road was a danger, the horsecart driver preferred passing them on the side of their sword arm (right hand as default), while if you did not have to take that into account, you would pass them on the left hand side.

The theory has now largely been abandonded as spurious, but it does remain a fact that there were dangerous stretches of roads in older times in Europe as well.
