The fan wiki page says Salmo is programmed to deliver bread to the inns they visit but if you give them bread they eat it instead. The crash is probably due to attempting to complete delivery of an item that's no longer in the inventory.

The wiki also says other characters in the game erroneously refer to Salmo with "she/her" pronouns, but until I ask Salmo for their pronouns I'll keep using neutral language.

Offering women housing in exchange for producing babies sounds like something from the Handmaid's Tale. Housing affordability should be addressed because people want to own homes, not because the baby making machines aren't making babies.

You mean the guy who said women need housing so they can have babies before their biological clocks run out didn't get many women votes??

Abortion became legal in Canada through the Criminal Law Amendment Act, passed in 1969. At that time, abortions could take place in hospitals, but only if a 3-doctor committee determined that the pregnancy posed a danger to the parent's health. In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the Criminal Code provisions restricting abortion were unconstitutional and struck them down.

Abortion was legal with restrictions. The Supreme Court only removed the restrictions.

I wouldn't call it a news show. It's more like short video essays on systemic issues. But I definitely agree there should be way more content like this. Not only does it bring attention to issues a lot of people probably aren't thinking about, it also offers realistic solutions.

Pizza is the great equalizer. Rich people love pizza, poor people love pizza. White people love pizza, black people love pizza...do black people like pizza?

While it wasn't unintended, the Atari 2600 only had 39 bits of memory to draw 160x192 graphics to the screen. It accomplished that task using the fact that CRT screens displayed images by rapidly moving a beam of light across the screen. Knowing the beam could only be in one spot at any time, the Atari system held just enough space in memory to draw 20 pixels. As the beam moved across the screen, the system updated the colour of the next pixels immediately before they needed to be drawn in a method that became known as Racing the beam.

It was built that way because having enough memory to draw the entire screen at once would have made the Atari 2600 prohibitively expensive for consumers.

Google translate: "This is definitely not lupis"

Maomao always seems to point out health conditions caused by things people weren't aware of at the time. Like lead in cosmetics or C. botulinum in honey. So a modern day Maomao would probably be diagnosing some disease caused by microplastics

I'm not shaming anyone! I'm just saying the working conditions at my plant aren't the reason my coworkers smoke and drink.

The idea in the linked comment seems to be that poor working conditions, leads to poor life decisions, leads to poor health, leads to early death. Therefore, early deaths are caused by poor working conditions.

My point is that poor life decisions aren't necessarily caused by poor working conditions. Poor life decisions can be caused by other things, for example, lack of education.

I work the same exact job as my coworkers and don't smoke and drink. If work conditions lead to smoking and drinking, then why is it only the old people outside at break time smoking?

They picked up bad habits in their youth, not because of job conditions, but a lack of education into their dangers. Where I live, 30 years ago restaurants asked customers "smoking or non-smoking?" It ain't the work conditions that's causing them to smoke a pack a day.
