sure, but they also don’t call eating an apple “eating trees”. it would still be fair to call applewood based products “beaver food” or “cardboard” if someone told you to eat it.

makes me think,

for thousands of years all of our cooked meats would have been roasted over open wood fires. they’d be smoky delicious barbeque. I’m sure some ancient people were even covering it in making it intentionally smoky.

do you think the first stoves got pushback from people that liked the smoke? i mean it must have been weird the first time they tasted things that weren’t smoky… then again, I’m sure there was plenty of stuff that just didn’t get that smoky on the open fire. and the convenience of not needing to go outside was absolutely worth it. and we eventually figured out that some things are quite a lot better without smoke…

i suppose all of this is why we still have grills and smokers today, even though most people also have a stove. people really like that taste. so yeah, i guess everything was bbq before a more convenient option became avaliable. we all know how much people love convenience. I’m sure that was just as true 1000 years ago as it is today.

only because people never stopped asking it to be able to id birds.

it’s not a sign of quality, it’s a sign of what’s to come. these companies will keep putting out things that work. sadly these live action Disney remakes sell very well even though everyone seems to hate them. that’s what this tells us. if not for this info we’d all just be sitting around scratching our heads over why they keep doing them. this at least tells us why.

yeah, quick psa for passing readers.

never plant bamboo unless you either want to live in a full on bamboo forest and drown out every native plant around you or are ok With spending the rest of eternity fighting for you life to stop it from spreading.

i was around then, I’ve just never met anyone who cared about that movie.

if there were clips going around of people dressing up like that I’d chalk that up to being a marketing campaign.

that would mean constantly checking behind him and missing the show. I’m with the other commentor. the onus is on the short person to get in front of him. if he tries to stop them then he might be at fault. that said, it’s also not fair to expect someone to stand at the back just because they’re tall.

i don’t think I’ve ever seen a rabbid Fandom around it.

it was just an easy approachable pretty movie for the masses. with a massive budget and a very well known director it brought people in to see the best visuals hollywood sfx had at the time. that’s basically how it was marketed, as a tech demo.

I’ve never once seen anyone fanboy about it. it sold well, but didn’t excite many.

on three other hand, avatar the last air bender has a massive and rabid fandom.

wait, did she get pushed ahead like 2 years. why would she be graduating at 16?

a 25 year old being attracted to an 18 year old really isn’t weird to me…

edit: also, how the fuck does saying that to a graduation post even imply attraction. the critical commentor in that post is just being a dumb asshole.

from Wikipedia: “The name “cockchafer”[22] derives from the late-17th-century usage of “cock”[23] (in the sense of expressing size or vigour) + “chafer”[24] which simply means an insect of this type, referring to its propensity for gnawing and damaging plants. The term “chafer” has its root in Old English ceafor or cefer, of Germanic origin and is related to the Dutch kever, all of which mean “gnawer” as it relates to the jaw. As such, the name “cockchafer” can be understood to mean “large plant-gnawing beetle” and is applicable to its history as a pest animal”

miku and Vista are the same age. more like cousins or siblings. both are from 2007, just looked it up.

damn, i never knew my manhood was so attached to my fingers. if i rip my nails off does that make me an alien, a woman, or a plucked chicken?

it’s a very British conservatism. it’s about blood. the story has people constantly accusing Harry of having bad parentage; as his aunt says “bad blood will out”. a left leaning story would have shown that blood had nothing to do with it. Harry was not raised by his dead parents regardless of how good or bad they are. Harry knew trauma and abuse, then was given his values by Dumbledore and hagrid and lupin and his friends.

but that’s not what happened. in the end it’s not that blood and lineage doesn’t matter. it’s just that his parents were actually high class and wealthy. so Harry won because he had good blood and was the chosen one. he won because of the innate quality he was born with.

yeah, it’s not as effective or cheesy as stealth archer early. like, your can’t hide on a cliff and slowly plink someone down from just outside their perception, but it’s way stronger overall. once you get the levels and skills to be able to sneak up and get the 30x dagger crit there’s nothing thatcan challenge you. it’s always funny sneaking up on a dragon on its word wall to get the one shot from behind.

yes, Mexican Spanish uses it that way. there’s pretty much no context in which you have to ask someone about where to take a shower, so the distinction is not very necessary. I’m pretty sure I’ve never once in my life asked where to take a bath or shower.

is corpses and the diseased. something that looks almost human but not quite is likely going to get you sick.

there’s a reason why waxy skin that doesn’t quite sit on the body correctly sets it off so hard.

my mom did similar, I eventually learned that’s why I didn’t like koolaide. it always tasted watery and weird to me…

it took most users years to reach the minimum understanding that they have of windows patterns. change how one thing that they got down works and they’ll panic.

I’d crank that up to like 80% Linux users somehow always seem to overestimate how tech savvy most people are.

I’d say 50% of users can’t tell you what an operating system is. maybe more. and ya’ll expect those people to be able to CHOOSE a Linux distro and actually install it. no way. that’s way way too much to ask of the average end user.
