I checked the recipe, and it looks really good! A bit on the laborious side, but it could worse. (Worse as in "cleaning sardines from their scales and guts at home, so you can grill them, for five people".)
From the questions you often ask here, it seems you really enjoy movies - I hope you two have fun!
Tuesday I'm going to bake myself a pizza. I'm planning olives, ham, bell peppers, boiled eggs, mushrooms, onion, basil for toppings.
It isn't just for me (my mum asked pizza Saturday, but a bit too late for dinner), but I feel like treating myself. Ah, I'm almost certainly buying some wine to drink alongside it.
Added to my lists - I didn't exactly like the first season, I think it did a poor job on adapting the novel (and the manga is considerably better), but hey, I'm a sucker for this kind of story.
The fucked up percentages are part of the joke - claims about some attested language being the mother of all others are full of equally flawed reasoning, except the authors genuinely believe on them. Same deal with claims of English being "mostly French"; they're as silly as saying "a tuxedo cat is 99% spotted cow, 1% orange cat".
Agreed. It's the best of both worlds: retro-inspired games can pick what the retro games did right, and still add modern improvements.
How much do you bet that r/50501 will be eventually banned as "encouraging violence" or some similar bullshit? We're dealing with Reddit.
Myself got shadowbanned not too long ago. Shadowbanning is fucking stupid, unless you're damn sure you're dealing with automated spam; when handling humans it's the same as "we don't want you here, but since we're liars and deceivers we won't tell you so."
I'd say the best thing to do here is to weaponise the Streisand Effect: spread awareness of what Reddit is doing and silencing. Like OP and the OOP are doing.
I just asked a Kiwi and an Angolan, and we three agree you are the one upside down :-P
Quebecois French is 50% English. English itself is 99% French. This means Quebecois French is 50%+99%=149% French, making it more French than French itself. So it's ULTRAFRENCH. It's one of the main candidates for the mother of all languages, alongside Hebrew and Sanskrit.
I live in a temperate area of South America. Usually winter isn't that harsh, but we got two big cold waves this year.
I also hate summer, but that's a problem for the future me of December :)
Here's the catch: odds are that what Levine is saying is technically correct - truthful, but misleading.
Sure, they (people in those big businesses) might not be active and directly adding sludge. They might not be encouraging it. Or measuring it. But it's there. Because they created the perfect conditions for it to thrive, as the author shows.
And, sure, odds are they are not targetting the author; that sludge is for every single body in a similar situation.
Why this matters: because any potential law punishing sludge should disregard esoteric concepts like "intention", and focus solely on what the customer gets. If the customer is getting sludged, it doesn't matter if the business says "trust us ( = be gullible filth), we don't have the intention!" - the business should get the short end of the legal stick.
