I know the cake-slice emoji from Apollo - Voyager is a clone of it. Never knew other people didn’t necessarily see them. I thought it was (R****t) site wide. TIL

I see it didn’t take long for the anti-Canada lobby to arrive.

Legalise Canada

In English English decisions can be taken as well as made… although it’s possibly more common to use “make” in the present tense and “took” in the past tense. i.e. “They took the decision to make no more decisions until tomorrow.”

Is this what the people on 9g*g are alluding to when they keep telling me that European culture is being destroyed by foreign invaders?

Absolutely. The optics of the past don’t match-up with the optics of the present.

Delaware is whack, but historically age 12-15 was a reasonable (for the time) age for girls to marry. Most biblical scholars say that Mary (JC’s mother) was about 15/16 when she popped him out (assuming there is some historical fact in the story) so those ages in your country weren’t completely crazy outliers. People grew up quicker back then because people died sooner back then. Just getting to the age of 12 was an accomplishment in its self. The past was a different place. If humanity makes it a few more generations then some of the things we accept and do now will be seen as unacceptable. We are all products, to a greater or lesser degree, of the time we live in and that shapes how we see the world as it is and as it has been.

Uh… no. Baby raping has always been frowned upon as far as I’m concerned. 14 year old consensual (to the extent a 14 year old can be) groupies were a thing, in the not too distant past, but social mores have changed since then. Which is good. There’s an enormous difference between the two though.

I’m not an authority on this but I believe that objectively a character WILL look like “that” but when viewed subjectively they look like “this”. So, in short, to answer your question: yes, but not really. I hope this helps.

Even if I did have my own take on Fight Club… I wouldn’t talk about it.

What a fantastic level of humanity you have. “Orcs in the meat grinder” are (sometimes) sons and husbands and fathers etc first and foremost. It’s good to not necessarily conflate every single soldier with the regime.

I used rhythmbox on a system running Mint to move music to and from an iPod nano 2. It was fairly straight forward. Save the transfers before closing the programme and you’re good to go.
