It feels kinda like how comic books bold words for emphasis, and just about as randomly applied

While I agree with you that I don’t think OP has correctly described what they’re actually thinking about, there is plenty of sex work that doesn’t involve actually having physical sex with anyone. Like a solo porn model, or erotic dancers
It seems like you mean a post-scarcity society rather than a currencyless one. Sex work done to earn a living is still done to earn a living if it’s in a society that distributes goods and services in another way. I’d hope that the sex worker in question is getting personal fulfilment from it, but unless their basic needs are covered regardless then it seems foolishly optimistic to assume that it’s the case
I do love a coffee, but try to limit my intake for caffeine reasons. The flavour is lovely. I’ve got a few different ways of brewing it at home, but a cafetiere is probably my go-to. I will admit to being quite partial to a mug of milky decaf instant coffee in the evenings too, but that feels… a bit disconnected from coffee proper.
I am a total failure as a Brit in that I do not actually like black tea. Green tea, mint tea, mint green tea, and yerba mate are all great though. The black tea is in my cupboards solely for guests only
I don’t know where you’re from so you might be familiar with this anyway, but this is actually really popular at football matches in the UK. It’s made with bovril rather than a stock cube, but the idea is the same
Macron’s first and second presidential elections were second round left-centre team ups, right? Is there a reason to think it wouldn’t happen this time?
Echoes of the Eye does at least give you a sort of second playthrough
I think Tunic is probably the closest feeling to Outer Wilds I’ve gotten so far. The moment-to-moment gameplay is quite different, but the broad scale feels close
yes, if I could do maths
strings are in base two, got it
They are actually there in the report… but barely. They’re much lighter than every other border. It doesn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere so I assume it was just a mistake
This is obivously not the actual point of the map, but why have a bunch of countries in Central Africa merged? It looks like Angola, both Congos, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea
Anglicisation of golpista, I assume
How does supporting this limit anyone’s ability to vote in November?
We thought we were the ones domesticating grass when we invented agriculture, but the grass isn’t the one that changed how it lives
The process of making it involves cooking limestone until the carbon dioxide comes out, basically. Limestone is CaCO3 (one calcium, one carbon, three oxygen). Cement requires lime, which is CaO (one calcium, one oxygen). That leaves a C and two O, which stick together on the way out
Pluto being too small isn’t actually the grounds on which it got demoted. The size requirement is just being massive enough to reach hydrostatic equilibrium - that is, be heavy enough that it’s round. Pluto does meet this one
The one it fails is clearing its orbit. This basically means being much heavier than everything else in the same orbit. Be gravitationally in charge of your orbit. The other eight are all hundreds if not thousands of times heavier than everything else in their orbit (not including moons, since they’re gravitationally bound to the planet anyway), whereas Pluto is less than a tenth of the total mass in its own orbit. Ceres is actually more gravitationally dominant over its orbit than that, although still nowhere near the eight planets.
This one sounds a bit weird at first, but I kinda like how it has such a massive delineation between the things we instinctively think of as planets and everything else.
Never mind the depths I was already on edge when I met the fucking crashfish
It’s kind of a shitty name to insist upon given our history with Ireland though, isn’t it? Like, regardless of what it was called, we can call the archipelago “the British and Irish Isles” or something if we want to.
Personally I reckon we should call it Maughold’s Isles. “British and Irish Isles” is fine, if a little wordy. “Islands of the North Atlantic” is one I see floated every so often, but it’s miserably generic and even longer. So I suggest we use the patron saint of the Isle of Man. It’s in between Britain and Ireland and technically not part of the UK. Maughold himself was a pirate who tried to play a practical joke on St Patrick, so he’s a bit of a scoundrel, and it’s exactly the kind of silly trivia that we like so much here
Beautiful! Playing mandolin is a weird experience for me as a guitar player. Like… I know how this all works, it looms familiar, but it’s upside down and everything is very close together. It’s a lovely sound though.
