Unskippable cutscenes. While I do love Soul Reaver's storytelling, sometimes I just want to skip the damn thing and get on with the adventure.

Walking simulators. The devs just wanted to tell a story, not make a game.

Is there a symbol for a zombie, something that supposedly died many times over but keeps coming back?

Depending on the country, paying like it's 1995 would be the best power move. Here's, dunno, 100 francs? 5 marks?

They also talked about kids these days only caring about stuff that wasn't hip back in MY day!

he isn’t able to pull his foreskin over his head yet, is that common?

It is, since most boys won't have a reason to pull it, so the skin never stretches. This should be looked at as an exercise, so he will probably manage to fully pull back after some months (6+, can take longer). If that doesn't happen by the time he's 14, or if he frequently feels pain when doing so, he might have phimosis and it would be best to have medical advice on how to proceed.

And how should he clean it if he isn’t able to pull his foreskin all the way back?

Until he can pull back and expose the entire glans, he probably doesn't have to worry about it too much, I certainly didn't until I was 13 or so (mankind has managed with much worse hygiene for thousands of years, but that's beside the point). One thing he can try is pulling up the skin (stretching over the glans) and get some water in from the hole. The problem here will be drying it afterwards, maybe a piece of cloth and a finger can get in to dry it enough

Again, there are better ways to state the point you wanted to get across. Hate and empathy do enter into it, especially hate, because it's always one of the shortcuts for gaming and changing existing human systems. Blame the different, claim to be pure and superior, get a following, storm the enemy. This isn't new or exclusive to any culture, it's been around since before the first cities were founded.

Also, the humans involved in attaining power are not necessarily smart, they can be delusional but charismatic leaders, which immediately makes "the human is better than the system" wrong. Pol Pot is perhaps one of the best examples: he wasn't smart by any measure, but was charismatic enough to have a loyal following and had enough enemies, real and made up, to blame for every woe the people suffered. Solano Lopez, Paraguayan dictator in the 1860s, is another great example of delusional leader - his generals and captains knew that contradicting his military orders, even when they were suicidal and tactically unfeasible, meant being executed as a traitor. Delivering factually correct news that the Paraguayan army was defeated at any skirmish or battle also meant, at the very least, prison time.

The extra links in the article are great stuff. I'm very curious about checking out Oberon

 
  • Unlock bootloader (depending on vendor, you have to do an online verification),
  • flash a recovery.img,
  • load into recovery mode (which, depending on the phone, might need extra work)
  • wipe some caches,
  • select new os/rom image,
  • pray it doesn't brick your phone.

You'd think someone would've learned a thing or two from the easy graphical installations linux and even windows have been offering since the late 2000s.

Basically, it's a game about making and changing rules, much like actual legislative bodies. Each player proposes a new rule and the other players vote to approve it or not.

Who wins? Whoever reaches the victory condition. What's the victory condition? That'll depend on the rules at the time, which might change in the next turn.

Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed.

Not the ideal community (better for open ended questions), but I've been looking for a Droopy cartoon that I vaguely remember from ages ago.

The overall premise is not too different from Tom and Jerry's "The Royal Cat Nap". The gist of it was that Droopy had to guard a nobleman (king?) while he was asleep. Near the end, I distinctly recall Droopy handing dynamite sticks to the villains, the scene cutting to outside the castle with the duo running in and out with ever bigger dynamites, until a really big one blows them away. The scene cuts back to the king, who wakes up and removes the corks from his ears and talks to Droopy.

Thing is, looking at the list of Droopy cartoons, none of them seem to have a premise remotely similar to that. I'm wondering what I'm remembering wrong, whether the main character or what else.

Solved: It was Deputy Droopy. My memory was very wrong on how it actually played out for the most part. Thanks, everyone!

 

Do you suppose bats that arm wrestle keep saying "no homo" to one another?

And here's a great highlight from the article:

To find out, Fasel et al. perused close to 100 videos depicting serotine bats in flagrante. Four of those videos came from a bat rehab center in Ukraine, but the rest were filmed mating in the attic of a Dutch church by an intrepid citizen scientist.

The bats usually mated for less than 53 minutes on average, although one stud persisted for an impressive 12.7 hours.

Yes, you're looking at ~92% tax right there. Final price jumped from ~113 dollars (584BRL) to ~220 dollars.

EDIT: A bit of clarification, when buying from abroad there's a flat 60% federal tax if the thing + shipping price surpasses 50 dollars. Then there's a state tax that can vary between 17-25%, which goes on top of the total taxed value. Part of the tax is literally "tax of a tax"

 

And Vaporeon is still the most compatible pokemon when it comes to male human and female pokemon breeding, did you know that?
