We’ve observed enough of its orbit to know what shape it is.

It more that there’s a grift happening. What’s the odds that theres a tenuous conflict of interest here with the various business and executives concerned? It’s a small cub and everyone scratches each other backs.

It’s still a prestige brand in the eyes of the masses. It might not be as good t brag about den at the country club but letting the plebs know that you can afford a car that costs more than their house still has value.

Somewhere in Jaguar HQ, a marketing firm convinced the CxO suite that the most pressing problem facing the company was that the logo was wrong. So, in the interests of the shareholders they write off the goodwill value of the existing brand and dump millions of euro into this.

I remember that, I thought it was poetic. I also remember the pearl clutching outrage.
Though a few visits ago at my local zoo trip of the orangutans were beating the shit out of a seagull for fun, with naught outrage.
So there’s probably a double standard built-in.

- Comment on Could Joe Biden use his remaining time as president of the US to do away with presidential pardons? 2 weeks ago:
There’s lots of good explanations of what the US Constitution allows… but they don’t actually matter!
No matter which branch of government (executive, judicial, or legislature) have the power to “do away with pardons” the same has the power to bring them back.
In parliamentary systems this is called the “supremacy of parliament”.
So even if Biden could issue an executive order to stop pardons then Trump can just executive order them back.

- Comment on Soo-Won Mets is the most annoying thing that I have experienced in the game so far. 5 weeks ago:
It took me many many runs to get the hang of the meta. It’s a reasonably chaotic meta anyway.
The final battle is dubious too: if the RNG slaps Soo-Won’s tail one too many times the whole thing times out and fails.
At least I don’t have to listen to Aurene anymore.

Anxiety?
If that tiny idiot of an amygdala in your brain thinks you’re in danger then nausea can be a symptom.

Derp, that’s what I was thinking of.

Plural of genre. Still should have been singular “ganre” though, unless there are multiple genera of these images.
