There's a marked difference, though, the Moon can't actually generate words that you can digest. Some people might think the Moon is speaking to them, but their brains are just spicy - it is not the same as a machine.

Etymologically, it seems like there are theories surrounding where it comes from.

The ones I'm familiar with are 'poesje', a Dutch word meaning 'little cat'. The other is the Old English word 'pus' meaning 'pocket'.

I'm far more inclined to believe 'poesje' is the origin, with 'pus' being an incorrect association due to common modern usage of the word 'pussy' in place of 'vagina'.

Idk who convinced this guy that it's short for pusillanimous. Sounds like someone trolled the fuck out of him. Anyone with a strong understanding of English (and language, really - what I'm about to say is just human nature) understands that languages follow the path of least resistance. It, logically, does not make sense that pusillanimous (a word totally unused in the average English speakers vernacular) would be where pussy comes from. Unless your inner idea of English speakers 3 centuries ago is some fucked up Shakespeare-an parody.

Idk, I seem to remember teachers saying 'you shouldn't use Wikipedia' well into the 2010's. Expecting higher education systems to adapt quickly is... unrealistic.

Is one of those people your father?

Any way you look at it, this effects the drip. It's not franchise ending but it definitely hurts.

Shame conservatives when they complain about anything, at any point

No, but kids under 16 are hooked into the content drip on their favorite social media. This significantly impacts the drip, a big part of online gaming is sharing what you have or have done through YouTube, TikTok, etc.

Everybody wants to be a content creator. Nobody wants to be a content creator in default skins.

Ok but seriously, how do we start turning this culture war shit on conservatives cuz convincing a ton of them to start smoking would be a net benefit - imo.

Why would I give anyone the benefit of the doubt beyond reading their replies?

Every single person you interacted with disagreed with you and you're here painting this delusion that they're somehow 'targetting' you or unfairly mobbing against you.

Prove it. Prove that they are unfairly mobbing you, this is your benefit of the doubt.

 

Hey everyone, title pretty much says it all.

I've managed to snag a set of keybinds that works for me, played around in Arena Commander offline. I'm hooked, had a ton of fun but I feel like my arms are sore from cranking the sticks so much.

Really looking for advice pertaining to ergonomic setups, like what kind of mounts should I grab. I have two Gladiator NXT EVOs, both the left and right hand versions. I didn't buy anything else though, as I wasn't that impulsive, so currently it's unmounted and I'm just rolling with it.

On top of those recommendations, specific guides on how to get better at combat would be good. I'm open to buying other space flight sims as well, if it would be easier to practice there (ideally I'd like to stick to Star Citizen).

My main fear is trying to hop into the main game and getting my shit rocked, losing what little resources I have trying to learn how to not crash. I tried it a little bit, managed to get my first ship impounded lol. If anyone has tips on ensuring I can ping the hangars correctly I would greatly appreciate that as well.

Sorry for the word vomit, still very new to space sims/flying sims in general. Not really sure how to word what I'm asking. Thanks to anyone that takes the time to read and answer!
