You nailed it

Pop!_OS is the next big

(It finished there)

Yes Daddy uwu

Even if the common advice is to avoid spoilers, I’m glad you found your own way to enjoy it :)

I’m sure I could play it again myself and still enjoy the atmosphere, even if the discoveries weren’t new. Or maybe it would be fun to watch a stream of someone else playing for the first time instead!

Y’all got any of that ECC?

For real. It’s an amazing game that just can’t be the same again once you know all its secrets.

I bought it for two of my friends, and they both ended up hating it lol. I don’t blame them, but I think it’s very much to do with the mentality of how you approach the experience.

One friend just got plain stuck and gave up. The other found it frustrating that they were doing the same thing several times over, and just wanted to rush as quickly as they could to make progress.

Personally, I enjoyed the slow pace of discovery. I loved that feeling of being a true explorer, discoving facets of lost civilisation. Watching in melancholic awe as a world crumbled around me. Finding just a small piece of new information was always a joy, and made it feel worthwhile to get there, even if I’d done 90% of the journey before.

Slowly getting richer in a game where the only currency is knowledge.

The teaser trailer looks like a high energy superhero romp that’s closer to Guardians of the Galaxy, than it is anything Star Trek.

And I just don’t like the idea that section 31 is made up of a bunch of oddballs and misfits with no discipline. Makes the movie more ‘exciting’ I guess, but really? Section 31 should move quietly in the shadows, not all brash and ballsy.

I’m sure they are hoping this style will boost revenue by appealing to a younger demographic, but it’s just totally the opposite of what I want from Star Trek.

It’s the same picture

It was weird to me too.

In fairness to the author, I can find a way to speak those two words aloud in a way that works, and sounds like something someone could genuinely say, but that requires a pretty specific stress and pitch.

You’re already!

But the first time you read the words it’s just not going to come out like that.

And that’s the problem. As a writer you can’t just put words on the page the same way you yourself might speak them, and expect people to read it that way. The spoken word does not translate perfectly to writing.

You need to have an awareness of how people are likely to parse the words on the page, and choose wording that doesn’t cause people to trip or stumble, even if it isn’t the exact phrasing you’d use in organic speech.

The comic fails on that at the final line.

The findings here seem like a real stretch.

Saying that people can “Accurately” identify names for adults but not children feels tenuous when they only answered correctly less than 25% of the time for children and slightly more than 25% for adults, among four options. That’s barely better than random chance.

If there really even is any correlation between name and appearance, then as other people have said, this is likely due to factors of age, and popularity of different names at different times. The child group used children only from a narrow range of 9-12 whereas the adult group was broader, so it would be easier to see the influence of age in the adult group.

I assumed those conducting the study would be very familiar with that bias and try to eliminate it by only using names that were equally popular at the same time as the person’s actual age for each question, but I couldn’t find that information.

If we assume they DID try to eliminate generational popularity as a factor, there are still more plausible explanations IMO.

For example, different names are going to be popular among different socioeconomic backgrounds - wealth, education, political leaning, geographic location of the parents will all affect name choice!

So if there is any correlation at all, my personal conclusion would not be that the name determines who people grow up to be, but that someone’s physical appearance is influenced by their socioeconomic background, and that name also correlates with that background.

So name is simply a predictor for what background someone grew up with, nothing more!

You answered your own question. If OP can’t use it, maybe they’ll buy a subscription, thinks Adobe.

Super scummy.

They are all brilliant

The design is so convenient for someone to pull off the ‘outside’ part of the sticker.

I didn’t know about this.

Now I do, and I’m happier for it.

I almost threw up a little in my mouth at this image

Oh, absolutely. My line to the court was rather dramatised for effect :)

What you’d really argue is that since your penis size is not public knowledge, then no matter whether your actual penis is big or small, the writer’s description has no bearing on the ability of the public to recognise the person being defamed as clearly you. Therefore, the accuracy or inaccuracy of the size described in writing can be simply dismissed as immaterial, with no need to inspect your pants for the truth.

Not only those points, but there’s another obvious reason it couldn’t work, too.

For any libel case to be successful, the key premise is clearly to show “This person described in writing is obviously meant to be me”

Unless you are someone whose penis size is public knowledge, then describing it as big or small doesn’t contradict other identifying details because nobody knows how big it really is.

So you can safely say “I actually have an enormous penis, your honour, but the defendant, the writer, was likely unaware of this”

Haha yeah, fair enough. Applogies for turning your deserved whinge into a serious question.
