I disagree, and I don’t feel like talking about this further.

That isn’t a consent issue, it’s a false accusation. It’s common for all sorts of crimes to be used for manipulation; either to deflect blame or to cause damage to someone’s reputation. Even if the language of consent is used, it’s not really about consent; in a different cultural paradigm the same false accusation would be made with different words

I don’t think anyone is arguing that animals have no understanding of consent, I think the issue is that there’s a communication barrier in dealing with humans (I.e. they can’t say ‘yes’)
Zoologists have a pretty robust understanding of rape and consent within the animal kingdom, but it’s always through observing interactions between animals.

The idea isn’t that the characters are new, it’s that the names are more widespread than something like the Foxtrot dance, which many people alive today have never heard of.

I don’t know how much of it is hormonal, but I think that testosterone does play a role in emotional processing, and I think that the levels teenage boys deal with is often enough to make some intense feelings difficult to access.
It could also be related to life experience and what you find relatable now vs then.

Worcestershire sauce was a recreation of an Indian sauce by a pair of English men.
Tikki Masala was invented by a Pakistani chef living in Scotland.
Technically both British creations, but I feel like it’s hard to list them as fully British in origin.

It’s nonsense, and men with longer hair who use 6 in 1 have bad results. Longer hair takes more treatment, hair is usually vitalized by oils from the scalp, so the further away from the scalp the more help it needs to stay healthy.

No, any recommendations?

Absolutely. The original Deus Ex is pretty excellent too. And the turn based Shadowrun games. It’d be cool if 2077 was better though.

I finally have a computer that can run Cyberpunk 2077, but it is such a dull game.

The south was actually more accepting of Jews than the north at the time (as long as they had the right complexion). Thousands served in the confederate army, many holding high rank.

The lack of beans and black pudding is especially egregious. If England is giving up on free speech they could at least go after these faux english breakfast frauds.

Over time the streaming options are almost certainly more expensive.
Personally I am an advocate for piracy, an economic system that requires the enforcement of artificial scarcity is not one I consent to bind me. We need a system that rewards artists without locking culture and art behind a paywall.
The only reason it works the way it does now is that music used to come from physical totems. The internet requires a new and progressive approach to intellectual products.

Copper and lodestone were some of the first materials refined from ores. You can also create a permanent magnet by getting a piece of iron struck by lightning.
Once you have copper and a magnet you can use the electricity to make additional magnets out of iron.
It’s also possible to make a magnet with a compass, a piece of iron, and a striking hammer:
position the metal facing north, strike the southern end repeatedly
