  To go on a complete tangent here, chameleons also can’t blink and I found a dissertation-level website only about how they can’t blink and what the consequences of that are: reptilefriend.com/do-chameleons-blink/

  But I initially thought that they can habe their eyes blink independantly, which brings me to my next point: In the anime My Hero Academia, one of the heroes, Erazure Head, has the ability to block someone’s ability as long as he is looking at them, with the drawback that the effect ends when he blinks,which fucks up his eyes, because he blinks so little. And every time I see him, I just think to myself, if only that mf had learned to blink independantly with his eyes, which I am sure you can train if you want to, he could’ve completely negated the drawback of his ability.

  Then again, MHA is full of this sittle oversights, which definitely lessen my enjoyment of that anime. Take the heroine Alien Queen for example. She can spray acid from her hands, an ability she doesn’t do very much with, which is why she is one of the less important heroes. She could however have trained to “sweat” acid to surround her body with an acid shield and if she had learned to spray her acid as a fine mist that the air can carry into your lungs, she could’ve become a walking violation of the geneva conventions. Missed opportunity to have villains simy choke to death.

  I am not. But Biden was a walking corpse for half of his term. We were robbed of Bernie, I am not going show any respect to a man and a system that did everything in their power to block Bernie.

  Not to diminish what the soldiers at the front have to go through, but having to play nice with such a shit person as Trump, only for your country to still get less support than under sleepy Joe, must be painful beyond belief. I wouldn’t even last a day having to kiss Trumps feet.

  If you only ever had white bread to eat, try other sorts of bread.

  In terms of culture, as a German it seems German culture is similar to American culture, just less extreme. Also less small talk with strangers, if that is indeed a thing in America.

  Maybe it’s an american thing, but the only time it is acceptable to me for someone to wrap themselves in a German flag like that, is when they are an athelete and win a medal.

  Wtf is a woman wrapped in a German flag doing over there?

  The video makes mention of a change.org petition calling on Visa, Mastercard and the like to ignore that sect trying to create moral outrage. I know Change.org petitions are pretty worthless, but this one already has over 100k signatures: change.org/…/tell-mastercard-visa-activist-groups…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The give reason must be procedual, but the real reason is that the Epstein files undoubtedly also contain the names of democrats or democratic backers. They were more than happy doing nothing with those files.

  To give you some background, this bonus would only be gained if Unknown Worlds hit certain targets by the end of 2025. Most of it would have been paid to the three men, with 10% set aside for 40 other employees at the studio.

  So the “team” would get the bonus they say? Both parties can fuck off in my opinion.

  Sure, if you live in a shithole country like the US or a wanna-be-shithile country like the UK, companies can just trample you privacy. But in the EU, privacy is protected and you can easily introduce legislation that any non-government surveillance needs to be set up in a way that makes automatic permanent surveillance impossible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lime bikes dumped in canals and rivers 'posing pollution risk'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The modern bikes need an account with valid fiscal info to unlock. There is no way to “not pay”.

  The recording nedds to be saved only when the accelerometer detects the bike being thrown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lime bikes dumped in canals and rivers 'posing pollution risk'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You only need to save the recording when the bike’s accelerometer detects the bike being thrown.

  Install 360° cameras, film those assholes and make them pay for retrieval.

  Two more months to go and more than 50% left to reach 1 million signatures. It’s sad to see that with how many people game, this petition has so little reach. I guess we’ll have to wait till Fortnite is shut down, then suddenly many more will care that their childhood game is gone forever.

  Of all the Star Wars shows past the original trilogy, this is the show worth watching the most, if you do not care for the world of Star Wars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly the reason why I won’t play gacha games. First everyone complains about loot boxes and microtransactions and then a game-genre where that’s the core of the game takes off.

  Just goes to show that the people that (rightly) complain about microtransactions cheapening gaming experiences were always in the minority and most will just keep spending like headless chickens.

  Most people I know aren’t or don’t see themselves as gambling addicts. They’re “proud” about how much they spent.

  It absolutely is malware. The Text you see is a comment appended to the end of a command that’ll download malicious software. The comment is placed in such a way that the command is out of frame.

  The share price does reflect the worth of the company in that a low share price will prevent companies from taking on loans to expand or keep operating. That was the whole idea behind the GameStop shorting saga. Also, the share price also benefits those that hold a majority of the shares. Musk is the richest man on earth because he holds the most Tesla shares. He can use the fact he owns these shares in order to take out loans with great conditions and to buy influence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I was a multimillionaire, I had a beautiful girlfriend, I was unhappy’: the ups and downs of a supertrader⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You may not pay the company when you buy shares from another trader, but you buying the shares drives the price of the shares and with that it makes the company more valuable.

  But given Anon knew what Win 10 is and the father obviously did not, my guess is that the father clicked on the ‘upgrade now!’ panel Microsoft used to pester Win 7 and Win 8 users with.
