I love how every single source emphasizes it's "single-planet", just because it's by Hello Games.

Cause fantasy games with dragons are famously known to all contain interstellar travel.

The US also has a tendency of exporting its nonsense to the rest of the world. So it's not like we're safe out here watching the clown show.

See Myanmar justifying its 2021 coup d'état by "election fraud" (wonder where they got that idea) and Bolsonaro's fanbase doing a more violent copycat version of Jan 6 in Brasil as examples.

Conflating Israel's actions with Judaism as a whole is extremely antisemitic in its own right.

Israel's regime does casually murder children on a regular basis, it is not antisemitic to say that.

If you're suggesting ignoring the fact, just because "Neo-nazis might like it", I can't stand with you.

It is not an anticoagulant, quite the opposite actually. The blood (limulus amoebocyte lysate) will coagulate at the slightest hint of gram-negative bacteria and their endotoxins.

It's most likely a defense mechanism against bacterial infections.

It's widely used in medicine to check for bacterial contamination of injectable pharmaceuticals.

I mean, the trolley obviously can't fit under the bridge, so this seems like a mass murder/suicide scenario.

Do it. We need repetition and peer review, otherwise it's just a case study.

They have quite a lot of money, particularly in foreign currency slush funds (see Room 39 for example). However the Kim family has the final say in what is government money and what never makes it onto the books.

They could probably afford a FIFA championship. It's admitting they have that kind of money, that would be a huge problem.

Wonder if the intern is getting the boot, or a raise for this thumbnail

I know, right? Why would you willingly keep a child? Just put it away or put it down.

[-] Mercival@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago

Ah yes.

Using the Celsius scale offset by ~273.15 must be the most galaxy brain shit I've ever seen.

My sibling in Satan, that's the backbone of the metric system. Nobody said anything about units.

There's a somewhat niche, but clever word for this particular combo - misogynoir
