  So you were expecting trump to do something different? I’m saying I’m not surprised at Trump’s actions. But why would FIFA enable this sort of action, just say no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Belgium national team's officialsocial media post after beating theUSA national team in the World Cup:"Overturn this"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s weird or uncommon for trump to ask FIFA to reconsider a red card. He’s a politician doing politics there. It is weird for FIFA to go along with it though, I would be upset at FIFA if they hadn’t already proven how corrupt they are in the past.

  I specifically did not say that deforesting the rainforest was good. Don’t put those words on my mouth.

  I’m pretty skeptical that palm oil is more unhealthy than butter. The farming practices surrounding it’s production are not wholesome sure. But it tastes good and cost less than butter.

  I really love the atmosphere of skellige. Something about it is so nostalgic, the blowing wind, the clouds that look like a huge storm is about to roll in.

  When it comes to drugs, play the long game so you can enjoy them your whole life. Take breaks, switch things up. Don’t let the drugs control you.

  I thought most ediacrin biota were soft bodies. Like the transition to the cambrian is when carnivores really start to diversify and in response things grow shells. All I’m saying is that the cambrian would be a crunchier period of earths history.

  It says I should be eating between 67 and 200+ g of protein, because of how much I exercise it should probably be like 150+ and I’m definitely not eating enough protein.

  I bought a steam deck when they came out (the cheapest one so I could upgrade the storage myself), and it’s a pretty nice device. But I honestly couldn’t come up with a use case for it. I think I just don’t like games as much as I used to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  100% Orange Juice and those types of games. It’s not super popular but also people love it. Personally I couldn’t think of a more boring type of game, even with friends there’s boardgames I’d rather play.

  Gaming has gotten so huge that investors want to target the most lucrative segments of their market. It’s not that you can’t make money with games. It’s that exploiting addiction is better at wealth extraction.

  Well I don’t think the vocabulary is particularly important here, since they likely didn’t use the words in the same way we do. Like some scripts like batard or English secretary hand were evolutions of the formal script that reduced pen strokes to be faster to write making them more cursive.

  But I’m curious about the history of connected letter scripts like Italian round hand. But most of the books I’ve read about handwriting have been in the American tradition, and it helps they are easy to find on the Internet. Some cursory reading on the subject seems to point to it coming from Italy in the form of old Roman cursive. To my eyes old Roman cursive seems related but is too different for me to call a flowing connected letter script. This isn’t surprising though since it was used to write on wax tablets.

  It seems like something we would recognize in the modern world as a connected letter cursive originated in the late 15th century Italy out of italic script. But I don’t speak Italian or Latin so I don’t know how to find any primary sources on this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨insert mental health condition here⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As a person who’s special interest is calligraphy, what do you mean by cursive? I had always thought that scripts were on a spectrum between gothic and cursive, with more strokes per letter or less strokes respectively. Though I mostly practice ornamental penmanship (fancy spencerian), so I don’t know much about the history of hands in Europe.

  That’s what I was thinking, a probe would gather some information. Maybe we would send a probe of our own in their direction.

  Just like humans their emotions change with the environment. When it’s hot out and it’s been dry for a while, there’s not much food for them and they get very irritable. That includes honey bees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think this story is about that. It’s about making games more expensive based on how much they think you’ll pay.

  This specific study in the article is about making games cheaper to see if that makes people more likely to spend, but you just know they’re going to also make them more expensive if this works out
