I mean, if you change it to “if Bob murdered a guy in cold blood (i.e. not defense, etc.) and no one was looking, did Bob break the law?” The answer to me wouldn’t be anything but yes.

Just because the offense is different or you don’t agree with it doesn’t change that in my eyes. It generally doesn’t change it in the eyes of the law, either. Always campaign against laws you think are bullshit. If enough people do, you might be able to do something about it.

Er, what is this more specifically?

Torchlight 2 should scratch that itch. To me, Path of Exile is something the Diablo series could have been but wasn’t exactly? Though I haven’t played it in a number of years, so I may be mis-remembering exactly what it was like. I seem to think it was more like a point-and-click RPG with kinda Diablo-like combat.

If it has EA as only the publisher, I might buy it later on sale. But if it’s first-party within EA, nah. Take-Two is actually the same for me these days. I won’t touch Blizzard-Activision anymore either (which is sad because I bought Warcraft and Starcraft when they came out originally and would play over modem with my buddies).

No. I do have aphantasia, but that’s the only thing that jumps out to me as weird (in this situation; I’m plenty weird in other ways).

Maybe because I don’t “see” images or have a mind’s eye in the same way other people describe it, things work a bit differently. I still do dream vividly and visually, at least so far as I can tell.

A first-person, single-player AAA shooter could be exactly my cuppa. However, there’d be zero chance I’m buying a game from EA so there’s that.

This makes things like reading difficult or impossible. Unfortunately it also makes remembering to try reading just as hard.

I must be weird, but I can read in my dreams (and tell time, etc.)

read it from left to right like a language

A number of languages are not left-to-right, BTW.

Well, that can’t be right; they didn’t make anything after SC2k… (bring back archologies!)

If you’re into that, the above channel is great; he has an old recipies series and goes into the history and compares and contrasts many sources and is really into the history. Cheers!

I’ve accidentally been accused of staring before. I tend to space out and not even focus my eyes, but it can look like I’m staring. That said, yeah, it’s not great. I’m a white guy who’s frequently in rural parts of Japan and can get stared at sometimes. Moreso if my tattoos are visible, but that’s due to their negative stigma still here (I only have a few on my arms).

Ah right. It’s been a long time. Thank you!

I’m basing this on my recollection of a “glen and friends” cooking video. It may be that they were talking about an older time, so my fault if that’s the case.

Is this one of two big cutting boards that are basically the same size or the one just below the largest in size (i.e. second biggest/largest). I was reading it as the latter, but i haven’t studied German in 20+ years now so I may be wrong

US cups are weird. I was having trouble with cups I bought where I live overseas which are 250ml and slightly bigger. No difference in some recipes, definite one Lin others. If you are ONLY using those cups, it should be fine as all things are still proportional. But, if using other measures, things can get off.

Additional fun: a Canadian cup used to differ from both US and UK but eventually came to match the UK size

Ask them every single time what were to happen if you did it the other way in detail. Keep a record of your time spent and keep the boss apprised. Maybe they’ll learn it’s not the end of the world to call it something else/etc.

Ignoring domestic terrorism, an outside attack to me seems most likely in terms of cyberattacks on weak infrastructure (utilities, signals, etc.)

I will continue not using it. I was interested in Oculus until they sold to FB and then I nope’d right out of that. I really did think VR was neat, but various things kept me from pulling the trigger. If it becomes the only way to use chunks of the internet, I just won’t use them; I grew up still in the analog world (though we did have BBS and very early dial-up in the '80s), and I could go back to it. I’d honestly miss educational content more than anything else, but I can get books. In my lifetime, that strategy would probably still work fine.

I didn’t miss it so much as I didn’t think it was that important, but you’re right that it’s not a bad point to bring up. That 64.9m^2 is actually bigger than the 2LDK+Loft I live in now (55.x + the loft) in a freestanding house. For two of us, it’s mostly fine. Just because I work from home, I’d like a little more space, but it’s worked fine. Previously, my apartment was I think 32m^2 or so, which again was mostly fine.

People here aren’t used to f-off big houses like in the US (I can’t speak for Aus), so I think of it less as a problem and more of a “this is what we do” type of thing. In the post-war boom in the US, it seems a lot of newer houses were around 92M^2 (single-source quick google), but I know that number is way higher today. Anecdotally, I’ve not found wanting bigger spaces something that a lot of my friends have mentioned (until they have toddlers and older anyway, heh), particularly when a lot of them are only home to sleep, eat, and shower.

In Japan, you can be on the hook (sued) for knowingly engaging in a relationship with someone you know to be married. It’s usually about breaking up the marriage, from what I understand. Sex of the people involved doesn’t matter here.
