The Puritans were, technically, fleeing because of their religion: like you say, the Netherlands were too tolerant/Protestant for them.

We did and are mocking them for the amount of attention and resources the murder is getting solely due to the wealth of the target.

The rats don’t live in a system that exacerbates and encourages the worst excesses of the worst people. The rats that don’t help are our billionaires.

Can second dyson sphere project. It’s a variant on factorio that doesn’t sacrifice the factory part of the factory game for story and exploration, something that always makes me bounce off satisfactory.

My dude. I hope ten years from now, you’re a well adjusted and productive member of society, and think back to writing this comment. I hope it makes you cringe.

I need it explained to me how this wouldn’t cover “throwing a net”. Don’t see how you can get away with patenting a real life action with an uber vague patent.

The decades of “dreaded green bubbles” before RCS messaging, which still hasn’t fixed every problem but is admittedly a good step forward - and almost certainly only because they’re finally facing legal action for their practices.

Same story with the goofy ass apple proprietary chargers - and no, I don’t really give them credit for things they only do as the result of legal action.

This is a really weird hill to be like “what??? Apple??? Anti-competitive???”

Anything outside of the ecosystem is intentionally crippled at nearly every turn. At least on windows, everything’s equally crippled.

You could argue against anything involving throwing a net to capture something, like monster hunter for the small fauna. Ark has “cryo pods” that function basically like pokeballs.

Quaint, you telling me what my problem is. Wonder how that’d go if we flipped the roles.

Slur isn’t really the right word for what was previously just an objective medical term with an actual definition. Ya know, like autism is, despite some people’s best efforts.

While there are objectively detrimental types of autism that hamper an individual’s ability to function independently, mostly I’m just annoyed at anyone not violently extroverted or that ever picks up a book being called autistic.

I would consider being inaccurately labelled a valid reason to be upset, no matter how “bad” the term is. Same reason it’s dumb to consider certain types of male fashion “gay”, just let people enjoy shit.
