My parents both didn't swear (at least not where I could hear them) so I simply never picked up the habit. I can swear if I make a conscious effort to do so, but generally only find reason to if I am quoting someone or something. And even that feels awkward to me.

As for expressing myself, I don't believe I have much trouble in that regard. There are a ton of other words available and ways to arrange them. And if I truly need to express anguish, rage, etc. there is always yelling or screaming.

We tried to.
Called it cancelling.

Primaries are still subject to spoiler effects and such.

In my very blue state this year where the top two in the primary go on to the general, there was a local position which had a whole bunch of well qualified Democrats vs just a couple of Republicans. (Incumbent not running)

The dem vote was split enough that we very nearly had just the two Republicans in the general. Like less than 60 votes away.

Oh. That makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking.

Like so many people answering this, my height.

In my case it contrasts with my wife's height - I'm half a yard (nearly half a meter) taller than she is.

Genshin has a 7 elements system that partially does what you describe: Wood (or anything made of or affected by dendro) burns when exposed to fire (pyro), fire melts ice (cryo) and vaporizes water (hydro), water conducts (well, causes a damage reaction with) electricity (electro), etc. The outliers are stone (geo) which makes forcefield shields with some of the other elements, and air (anemo) which swirls up and spreads and reacts together some of the other elements.

It's desktop only, and from 2008.

I can still hear 790 saying "Danger Star Buck Rodgersson!"

But it only needs to reach 165°F, about 74°C.
Basically every food package says so.

Initially I didn't see it on the package in the image, so before reading the article it looked like a prank product, just an empty case to hold your eSIM.

The legal minimum of moderation, or close enough to it to get by.

It's also already in the comic
