Nazis and tankies are both totalitarian - people just seem to have forgotten the term.

Yes, you want to push your mass as horizontally as possible, which will be limited by the grip under your feet. Vertical motion is wasted energy, but if you're full horizontal you'll just slip.

Is it normal to pay cash for rent in the US? I've always done it by bank transfer, set up to pay automatically on the agreed date..

Seems like a great way to perform tax fraud.

Since we're talking RTS, do you have time to talk about my shameless plug for http://beyondallreason.info?

This style of RTS appeals much more to me in recent years. Feels less like you need to perform like a speedrunner.
So much QOL compared to the APM spamfests other RTS can become.

Oh yeah, I meant to express I was painting a comparison with animals and nature, not pedophelia.

Also, my address won't show on that site :)

Survival dance sounds interesting ;) But yes, humans are herd animals really. We figured out we're stronger together and set some common rules, and we don't want to be left outside so we conform.

Irony is, we're also predators - and crucially our own is not excluded from predation. (in the nature sense not the sex offender sense)
