Did you know that if you’re in a room of 50 people, over half of them will share this birthday on steam. Crazy how common it is. Statistics are weird.

4·9 days agoAs far as I recall, you need to perform 3 miracles that have to be verified (yes, I know lmao) by the Catholic church in order to be canonized (dubbed a saint).
Often times these aren’t major miracles with significant outcomes but picture a statue crying or the image of the person appearing on a slice of toast or whatever.
Some of those that work forces…
There’s a really good moment in “The Solitary Clone” in the Bad Batch where Cody and his squad reassure a separatist child that they’re here to help before the child’s mother pulls him inside and shuts the door. To me it really illustrates how to the average separatist the republic was always a kind of oppressive empire.
1·19 days agoThe reason why restaurant tipping is usually percentage based is because the level of service expected scales with the price of the items on the menu. The expectations on servers in fine-dining is a lot higher than a neighbourhood pub and so is the price.
3·20 days agoIt’s just extremely overused. There are other words that could be used but slammed makes it’s way into every second article which is becoming an indicator of a low effort article.
Iirc it’s only electrocution if you die
Dentists are not scientists though.
Ok fine ask the nice lady in the lab coat on those Colgate commercials instead.
Fuck Ted Faro
I just want smaller scale stories where the stakes are high not because of some galactic consequence but because we become attached to the characters and their small worlds.
Andor felt tense because the world was small so smaller scale crises seem larger. I felt more when >!Kino said he couldn’t swim!< than I did when the Death Star obliterated everyone on Scarif.
The only reason why I want less Jedi in my star wars is because I want them to feel special. Star Wars has a massive Galaxy where Jedi were a rarity even before the purge so give me more of that. Don’t blow your load every 10 seconds by shoehorning lightsabers into every story.
Give me a film noir set on Nar Shaddaa or a heist set on Alderaan. I’m tired of the overuse of Jedi like I’m tired of the overuse of Tatooine. That planet is supposed to be a backwater with nothing going on hence Obi Wan choosing to hide there but instead we visit it every other Tuesday because executives think people want sand and brown doors.

Unironically the most important question
Because Apple ran a series of commercials comparing Mac to “PC” to differentiate themselves from the rest of the market but didn’t acknowledge other OSs besides Windows in this series.
Those ads played everywhere and now everyone associates the term PC with Windows.
I could have my timeline off but the first time I heard PC to refer to windows specifically was around the time these commercials aired.
If it’s a subjective matter then no. Like if you thought Blade Runner sucked I might disagree with your opinion but respect that it’s a matter of taste and so I won’t recommend you see the sequel.
If you’re just using “opinion” as a shield for something objective then yes I will. And I will laugh at you for thinking the sky is falling is a matter of opinion.

3·2 months agoEh, you earn the title by doing your thesis and expanding humanity’s sphere of knowledge a little bit. Medical doctors may claim it but they don’t get exclusive rights to it just because they want it.

This is oft repeated but it’s not true. Copyrights do not get revoked if you don’t enforce your exclusivity. Trademarks can be genericised but only in extreme cases (band-aid is NOT genericised for example).
Nintendo is hyper litigious but not for any legal requirement to defend their copyrights.
