I mean we did have internet, but it was billed by the amount of data you used, and being online meant that people couldn’t use the phone at the same time.

Everyone needs an Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher.

Geneticist here. There are a number of factors that go into determining a person’s facial features. Genetics, of course, play a huge role. But other things such as …

I realized that I phrased my point very poorly. I didn’t mean that people don’t do sports, eat healthy, and live fulfilling lives. They sure do. What I meant was that people (like when you ask them personally or in a survey) tend to exaggerate their healthy/good habits and downplay the bad ones. So it’s good to take self-reports with a grain of salt. It’s a well known kind of bias (social desirability).

People are also spectacularly good at fooling themselves. Every time someone says stuff like “I do sports three times a week” or “I eat fast food about once a month/year”, it’s safe to assume they’re lying to both you and themselves.

Sometimes websites will have a calendar for entering dates, where the largest unit of time you can flip back and forth is a month. Pure evil.

Also, open a fund that people can donate to. With a damage like $1700, they can probably get back multiple times that in a week.

I love it. It combines my resentment of misogyny in video game culture with the things I care about in everyday life such as sleep.

Ever played Baldur’s Gate 3?

Must be this new Сигнал app I’ve been hearing about.

Crust is important to counter the greasiness of the center. When I eat pizza, I alternate between the center and the crust so that the average mouth feel on any two consecutive bites remains roughly the same.

I’m German, but I have to hand it to them: The Dutch have by far the best insults of any language.

Sounds fun at first, intense period of initial fascination, actually really laborious, time-consuming, and not all that fun long-term.

Yeah, sounds about right.

I can ask the question, sure, but what if the answer is wrong?

Thank you for the explanation. Just one follow-up to check if I understood: The minority government would then just include the Liberals but with support from the Bloc Québécois (i.e., the Bloc has the power to veto, but the legislation will still come from the Liberals)?

That seems plausible, although I still wonder why a coalition with the Bloc is then not also on the table (there’s probably a reason, I just don’t know about Canadian politics).

Question for the Canadians: Do you have two or multiple parties in parliament? I’m asking because the article states that a minority government was the goal, and I was wondering whether a coalition government wouldn’t be more advantageous.

I would’ve thought “finding fresh talent” is something that publishers do out of self-interest, but I guess I’m wrong.
