Yup?
- Comment on Anon misses some signals 4 weeks ago:
You’re right on the mark there: I missed the point, a good number of times, which sent me into a downward spiral.
It took a good amount of time and help to aknowledge I was responsible for 90% of my suffering.
- Comment on Anon misses some signals 4 weeks ago:
And I was countering your reply.
So you try, you get turned down. Does it hurt? Yes. Is it the end of the world? If anyone replies with “yes” that is a serious issue because it is not.
Getting a “no” for an answer is almost guaranteed. What is there to lose? Perhaps the lost “yes” for not trying.

It goes above and beyond being feminist.
If a guy doesn’t want to go out with a girl that actively asked him out, he is plain, basic, stupid.
- Comment on Anon misses some signals 4 weeks ago:
Bullshit.
It’s a social - stupid - standing that states romantic/social/sexual advances must be started by the male part, which automatically relegates the female part to a passive/subdued part.
If you want someone, be bold. Doesn’t matter how you define yourself either.
I don’t really care if you are shy and can’t speak or any coping mechanism you may have built to justify your awkwardess. Just try.
Write a note. Have a mutual friend act as a liaison to help the first step. Write a letter. Blurt out the most incoherent speech you can muster. Then say it all again, only ten times slower. Send smoke signals. Use a parrot or a crow. But try.
It hurts a lot more to punish yourself for not trying, later in your life. Failure and rejection are part of it. Get used to it. Learn from it.

I would still pick the African ones, nonetheless.

There is no need for sarcasm.
We tend to forget Africa had great kingdoms, with advanced civilization standards, before colonial times. Those kingdoms ruled the largest continent on the planet for centuries and elephants were animals used for both work and war.
Hanibal took elephants across the Alpes (most died) in order to invade Italy. I seriously doubt the general ordered his elephants from India.
- Comment on Baby elephants 5 weeks ago:
I can’t remember where I read it but it was a good coverage on the historical use of elephants in Africa in pre-colonial, as in during the great african kingdoms. And lets not forget war elephants, in Roman times, were from Africa.

Yet I remember reading somewhere african elephants were tamed before their asian counterparts.

You can hammer it, quench it and sharpen it after that.

Where is this?

That is a good point you raise there. A bear would not care, as the bear even lacks the notion of what a kitchen is or the notion of belonging implies.
- Comment on yogi knows 1 month ago:
Women belong wherever they want to be. And nothing else.

That’s cute. And complies with the universal rule of “if it fits”.
- Comment on yogi knows 1 month ago:
And if said woman is a top chef, with a degree in culinary arts and science?
That would make any kitchen in the world her realm and domain.

It’s obviously not a good thing but, in this particular case, it was the cheating promoting a very wholesome outcome.
The cheater got the boot. The cheated got ahead in life.
Game. Set. Match.

I do not care how true or untrue this may be.
Upvote for wholesome.

I can’t agree with you.
The major share holder of a game studio, with a major success on its portfolio, already working on other projects, decided he wanted to move away from it as the day to day work had become too demanding and made his part of the studio available for purchase, in fact cashing out on a very large sum of money.
I really can’t see where that is “apples to oranges”, concerning the current debate on studios being bought out and shut down on the turn of a dime.
Are game studios some separate entity that exist exempt of the at work business logic or human nature? Studios are companies created to generate profit for its founders, that will most likely take the opportunity to cash out when presented.
By contrast, independent authors/creators are becoming a growing force to be respected - which is very good - but will such authors be immune to selling their work for a high offer their work if such opportunity presents itself? Hopefully, they will, but I won’t bet on it, neither for nor against.
- Comment on Xbox president: Studio closures will ensure 'business is healthy for the long term' 1 month ago:
Don’t know if I would. Never had such an offer, never will.
I’m not very invested in the game/game studio culture but boiled down it gets to either a private owner or a board of directors deciding if it is the right moment to cash out.
- Comment on Xbox president: Studio closures will ensure 'business is healthy for the long term' 1 month ago:
I won’t bet on that, neither for nor against.
Look at the guy that created Minecraft. He was passionate about his work, had a company that was doing great and with prospect of future growth.
One thousand millions later and the guy checks out a boat load of money and sell off the company: he already had his.

Can we see, if only a page, of those books? Please?
That is the kind of unusual things from other times every person should get in touch with.
