  There were certain decisions made to specifically deviate from what had developed organically. These are the exception.

  There’s a whole village, basically within arm’s reach, where pigs and wine grow in abundance.

  Well I knew many of them have issues acknowledging the benefits of having a social contract. Didn’t know things were desperate enough that people put forced mechanics in place to make sure they at least have a chance of learning the basics.

  Herbertwestium, specifically the crystallised form.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So Americans have to be forced to learn how to comply with a social contract?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Circle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is way too confusing for me to follow but it sounds vaguely like we mean the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Circle⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on where you’re speaking from.

  If you’re in the US, people were immigrating from Europe and to the US and are now emigrating to Europe and from the US.

  If you’re in Europe, people were emigrating from Europe and to the US and are now immigrating to Europe and from the US.

  Easiest solution is to say migrating :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Circle⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Specifically the second one.

  immigrate from Europe

  emigrate to Europe

  They’re not saying these ate reasons why it’s okay, they answered the question which is “why would parents be okay with it”.

  He has very strange-looking ears as well so I don’t see the issue.

  Also, take that, people who were whining about artists drawing manga-style LotR fanart after the Peter Jackson movies.

  Anyway, does Legolas’ ability to see very far necessarily mean his pupils must be humongous? The pupils on eagles aren’t exactly very large either but as a cursory internet search tells me their internal structure is very different from human eyes. Anyone able to speculate on elvish eye anatomy?

  Splendid idea, I don’t have a license, I don’t know what I’m doing so I shall sacrifice myself for the greater good and drive that car. Oh also, we’re listening to a playlist of songs by obscure indie Bravo punk band Die Ärzte, with Schrei nach Liebe being on there several times, obviously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why women live longer then men⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gamble responsibly.

  Also, I see we’re still doing random music in this kind of video to punish people who have the volume up.

  You’ll have to prove the existence of a coder first.

  This is the internet, there is no healthy version of anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh you’re saying that this is about right wingers who think the Last Samurai is okay (while Ass Creed isn’t).

  … That… makes sense. Huh. I hadn’t seen it that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s presumably the beginnings of an awareness of why that narrative is problematic. And also of the importance of historic accuracy. His role in the narrative was that of a saviour though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And even then, there were people who were uncomfortable with a narrative of some heroic white dude coming in to save the exotic natives. Just wasn’t a very popular opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a lot of highly critical discourse around the Last Samurai. Not current, because it’s not a current movie, but saying that it’s “okay” suggests you haven’t looked for criticism.

  Also, weary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Harry Potter’: Nick Frost Poised To Play Hagrid In HBO Series⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The equivalent would be a Marauders series which would be something the fandom actually wants and thus a smart move.

  Well… Yes but… oh go post a letter. ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is a two-party system considered democratic?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you talking about? There are now six (6) parties in the Bundestag, that’s a long way from 2. If anything, it might be a bit much.

  Not that I disagree but you have to offer some incentive, that’s what I’m saying.

  Rights issues are complicated and not solved by creating another platform, unfortunately.

  You’re talking from the viewer’s perspective. Why should the company share their profits?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opinion: It's time for a proper Steam-type service for TV alongside streaming exists.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would they do that if they can all have their own platforms instead?
