dunno, this seems a pretty chill instance and your experience mostly matches mine. There are a few knobheads I see around though (I started adding user notes and it's amazing how any agro chat is always one of the same few accounts)

Couldn't agree with you more. In particular, the way most state pensions are structured imply infinite exponential growth. It's gonna be a tough drug to wean off of.
Generic sentiment that Orban is dictatorial coupled with an association of dictatorships and a dependency on the military? That's probably enough to be getting on with, ain't nobody got time to know about everything. But actually not OP, I probably would've drawn the same inferences and am enlightened by you.
You could start Starfox without the extra chip if you did some trick with the cartridge, but there were big black bits on the screen or something? It sorta worked but it sucked. I can't remember any more details than that.
Sadly it's not objectively false, it's merely vague. There's no equivocation whereby it actually specifies that the unit of measure is the individual animal, rather than, say, kg. It's just playing on your assumptions (I did assume biomass fwiw, but who cares).
But anyway, the point made by sheer fucking biomass imbalance is surely the thing to focus on here? Now that we know what it means, and are in agreement that the wording should be clearer, the statistic is still egregious, isn't it? Humans have taken far too much of the world for themselves IMO. Vastly diminishing returns for us, devestatingly larger impact on the environment, the more we push it.
I think biomass is probably more important than sheer number for these comparisons. Although I would also accept 'proportion of world's arable land being used to sustain them' as I suspect the ratios come out pretty similar for obvious reasons.
Wait until a fantasy author gets hold of your name and has a very successful 4 series before it turns into miserable dross. Not so unique any more are ya, Khalesi?
I've thought more about it. I bet there's fucking loads in the placenta.
Oh I think those two are the same as the warrior, lol. My archetypes have a little tolerance. But there's definitely a dual strand -- the 'dark' hero (waylander) and the 'light' one (druss). Both ends up characterised by both aspects usually though, which is why in Gemmell theory they're unified.
Best one was lion of Macedon. I still think about that sometimes.
Whereas the left get to hate everyone! Even each other! But the hardest part of the hate is reserved for those who would reduce the quality of our experiences by being dickheads. Say, by restricting access to art. I'm with you brother! Let us hate together! Maybe even each other!
Arguably millennia ago? There has always been some degree of bartering that will never fully disappear, but money has been around for a long long time in basically all cultures
Greatest nation shit is embarrassing. IQ test results from different cultures is interesting. Miss me with your embarrassment, first learn what an IQ test is testing
