Why do Americans consider it important to remember the names of these lakes?

It’s just their home state, not what state they are running for/ could be setting it up like a presidential election.

You don’t need 20 years of experience to play the game on easy.

Tangential, but I really dislike the industries trend toward super forgiving difficulty settings
Like the new Halo you can change basically any setting you want to make, to “customise” your difficulty

It’s a joke in a comic. You don’t need to take super seriously and literally and find a solution. Just laugh and move on.

The only card I have that I need to take with me is my work pass. Everything else is on my phone, debit and credit cards, train card, loyalty cards. I haven’t needed a physical card for anything other than work since COVID.

I have pets and any firework related holiday I have to hole up with them all night to comfort them. And that’s just on the days I know they will have them, basically all of autumn and winter have dickgeads randomly setting off fireworks for god knows what reason. It’s hell

It’s not in any way a justification. In fact the language is deliberately neutral as not to imply the protestors did anything wrong (which they didn’t) a protest happened and a cop was shot. Just stating objective fact, because that is a crucial detail the the other commentary left out, which makes their comment sound like they arrested and sentenced these people purely for protesting. (Which they kind of did, and the cop being shot was just their justification, but that’s besides the point)

I know reading comprehension is not great on this site, but I’m in no way shape or form making an argument the protestors were in the wrong. Literally just providing context.
- Comment on oh bless yer heart, pepperidge farm 'members! 1 month ago:
A full pardon? Maybe for some of them, especially the zine guy, but the guy who actually shot the cop, unlikely. No democrat would want the optics of that.
- Comment on oh bless yer heart, pepperidge farm 'members! 1 month ago:
I mean to give full context, that protest did end with a cop getting shot.
But the sentences are still wildly excessive including 30 years to someone for carrying a box of magazines.

I would beg to differ. Actually fitted AC, sure but basically everyone I know has a “portable” actually unit. And then every office, supermarket, most shops etc all have AC
- Comment on I love houses that trap heat! /s 1 month ago:
Why is this whole thing of Americans thinking Europe doesn’t have AC? Are you guys dumb? Of course we have AC, even in places like Scotland.

- Comment on 💤 😴 💤 2 months ago:
I had a week off last week the weekend I slept in as usual but on the second work day off I got super tired like 4 hours before I usually go to sleep, passed out and then slept through basically all of the day, sleeping about 18 hours in total, then sleeping again a few hours later at my normal time.
That felt like I finally slept the sleep that needed to be slept

You seem very upset my guy, maybe just go for a walk or something untill you calm down. :)
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 2 months ago:
It’s a pretty simple question and you refusing to answer it just proves you’re not here to argue in good faith and just don’t want to back yourself into a corner that forces you to accept any particular evidence I would give you. As by refusing to state what evidence you would accept you leave yourself the option of arbitrarily refusing anything I present to you.
Which is exactly why I ask. I’ve been on the internet a long time and this is the best method for dealing with bad faith trolls.

Yes, burden of proof lies with me, but what proof do you actually want??
