Yes, it was really crazy. In the past few decades our politicians had different goals, but generally still followed the same rules. Trump has shown he wants to dismantle any and all systems that don't serve him, and the Republican party is happy to let him do so, so this election seems like it might have far greater consequences than the ones in memorable past.

People who watch tutorial videos only get on, watch the video and then leave. How are they supposed to make tons of advertising revenue from that? No, we must sacrifice that class of video from the platform, in pursuit of the almighty dollar.

You are a person.

I am a different person.

We are not the same.

I think he's mistaken. Those relics are green, so clearly they boost HP. (or maybe stamina)

We definitely are seeing things faster than 24 Hz, or we wouldn't be able to tell a difference in refresh rates above that.

Edit: I don't think we have a digital, on-off refresh rate of our vision, so fps doesn't exactly apply. Our brain does turn the ongoing stream of sensory data from our eyes into our vision "video", but compared to digital screen refresh rates, we can definitely tell a difference between 24 and say 60 fps.

Smart developer: let's make the label an 8 inch square so it won't fit in any mug.

Honestly now that you mention it, yeah, a few hundred elephants growing in the same spot almost instantly would accelerate the outer ones to a very high speed. It'd probably end up being more like a wet, chunky mini-nuke.

You did something due to peer pressure at an age when kids are obsessed with fitting in. In the course of doing so, you realized it was wrong and you stopped. Even now, presumably years later, you still feel bad about it. I'd say you're good, every single one of us has done things (often involving inappropriate actions) we look back on and regret. You're fine.

followed soon after with "Hi, need answers fast this time, what are some clever ways you could hide from the cops?"

I'd go with "Hey, it's God. I actually AM real, but I'm heading out. You guys are on your own from now on, no more afterlife or anything. So be good to each other! Alright, I'm out. (oh, and just some advice? you might want to get ahead of this climate change thing)"

I know this won't happen, but I really wish we could just all stop talking about him all together.
