Haha, I came in here to comment the same exact thing.

Apologies, I was a bit tired yesterday and missed that.

They're not usually my favorites of Square games, except FFT and FFXIV, and I don't really mean to defend them, but the name is actually significant for the company. See they were going out of business so named the last game they planned ro make as Final Fantasy. It earned enough to save the company, so they kept using the name for what they consider their flagship games.

I found both my psp and vita with tactics in memory, so I've been replacing recently. It also has Xenogears and Parasite Eve.

The "Genocide Convention" defined it as "A crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, in whole or in part." This excludes political groups.

So yes, many things more than simply killing counts as genocides. What slave owners in the US did to separate families and squash the previous culture of said slaves counts. Canada's resident schools that tried to make indigenous people more like "normal" Canadians counts. Re-education camps count. What Israel is doing to Palestine counts, and the treatment of the Uyghur people also counts, among numerous other examples I didn't mention, including very obvious ones.

Sadism usually enjoys inflicting the pain, whereas I understand schadenfreude as just enjoying it whether or not you were involved in causing it. Most times I've seen it used the person enjoying was not part of the cause.

An example would be maybe the Herman Cain awards subreddit. Anyone there was most likely doing the opposite of causing the problem, but were enjoying when people who did cause issues got comeuppance.

(For anyone not sure what that subreddit was, it was specifically showing when people who denied covid got sick and or died themselves. It wasn't for anyone who had Covid, just for people who they could also show vehemently and dangerously denied Covid and/or showed how they harassed others about it).

Slight problem with the meme vs what OP is doing: Someone evaluating choices isn't going to know what to search for from logos. They'll n only recognize Google, Apple, and Windows, with a slight possibility on Linux distros.

This is not going to be helpful, but I started weight loss that resulted in about 35 pounds lost simply by going to a con and waiting for people to meet up to eat. Ended up with me not eating until like 8pm each day, so close to 24 hour fasts for 4 days in a row.

Once I was kinda used to it, I did shorter ones and started roughly calorie counting as well.

Elder Millennial here, I hate the whole mocking of generations and hoped ours wouldn't do it as much, but I'm still seeing people of my generation doing so. We did stuff others might call dumb too, or just stuff for the hell of it.

Wait, I missed the space exploration part. Why is that partisan now?
