But that’s humans? It’s always been like that, everywhere at all times. The only thing that’s changed, maybe, is that Lemmy is growing and there’s more discussion in general so of course the absolute number of things that cause name-calling has grown too, just like the absolute number of things that don’t.

You’re doing an excellent job of understanding gender.

You’ll have to be more specific. I’m not seeing any unusual amount of negativity.

What’s that thing about expressing any passion? What do you mean by that?

Wh… What are we competing in…??

It tends to be but that’s because people are very nervous (not least because they expect pain because they’ve been told to expect pain) and can’t relax. There is nothing about the first time that is different than any other time.

Splendid idea, I don’t have a license, I don’t know what I’m doing so I shall sacrifice myself for the greater good and drive that car. Oh also, we’re listening to a playlist of songs by obscure indie Bravo punk band Die Ärzte, with Schrei nach Liebe being on there several times, obviously.

Oh gawd same. I’ll be eternally grateful, thank you for your service o7

I be not bovveréd, forsooth.

You’ll have to prove the existence of a coder first.

Nay, I daresay I judge it not possible, goode Sir or Lady, notte now nor e’er.

Just don’t expect nuance or depth. Or, in case of languages that aren’t closely related to yours, to be understood.

This is the internet, there is no healthy version of anything.

Oh shi- riiiight the thing with the mini-games, I’ve heard about that! Just didn’t connect the dots here, I guess.

That entire page goes WAY over my head so I’ll take your word for it, hah.

Can you patent a game mechanic? I could see the implementation of a mechanic being protected, the specific way the code is written in a game, which would mean you can always find a different way to achieve the same result. What are you thinking of when you say “game mechanic”?

… well okay then. Hope you’re happy, with your logic and knowing stuff about shit. ;)

So just like we happen to live in that precise time where total eclipses are possible, the Logday people may have lived or may one day live in a time where the moon is the right distance. No need to pity those fuckers.

Okay, makes sense, but isn’t the distance between Earth and the moon uh… shri… grow… changing over time? So at some point in the past or future (or maybe even currently?), the distance would have been / would be the correct one for total eclipses.

What why? Their moon is still the same size and while orbiting their same size Earth it moves between that Earth and their same size sun to cast a shadow on that Earth. Wouldn’t it?
