You don’t really need to remember conversions within units, because it’s all in base 10. Apart from that, 1 millilitre is 1cm³ of water, which weighs 1 gram, and requires 1 calorie of heat to increase its temperature by 1°C.

As a Brit: the NHS. I can, and have always been able to, just call an ambulance in response to almost any medical emergency. I can walk into a minor injury unit with any minor injury and get it sorted. I can just call my GP to ask about things and book an appointment to get them seen in person. The only upfront cost I’ve ever had to worry about was the fixed price of prescriptions, and I only get charged for them if I earn enough. Earning minimum wage, the taxes that pay for it total about £150 a year.

Even with all of the attacks and defunding over the years it’s so thoroughly ingrained in the public consciousness that the government can’t actually get rid of it.

The Chronicon of Marcellinus Comes, apparently. Not sure why.

It’s pretty simple - they don’t give a fuck. They have no incentive to do anything but the bare minimum. And the other day, the bare minimum meant you got a box and a half of free ice-cream.

Same, one of the things that influenced my decision to buy my house was a long cupboard next to the hob that would be perfect for a 48 jar spice rack. The rack is now full and there’s a small crate of miscellaneous spices sat on top of the cupboard.

So you can stack hay.

Couple of small issues with that idea: can’t hide from the big fiery sauron eye, and nazguls on pteradactyls.

It is definitely a lot easier than it used to be, and the horror stories tend to be the attention grabbing ones, so are more often seen. I think we’ll see a lot more acceptance for the new generation of teens and young adults discovering themselves now it’s genx/millennials raising kids rather than boomers/genx.

You’re right on your interpretation of the word and to disagree with the poster. They’re just some lib psuedophrenologist.

The Good, The Bad, and the Weird (좋은 놈, 나쁜 놈, 이상한 놈) is a fantastic slapstick take on the classic western that has a lot of fun with the setting.
Trollhunter (Trolljegeren) is a great horror-mockumentary done in a found footage style.
Basically anything by Kurosawa.

Edit: TO COMMUNISTS, ANARCHISTS, OR ANYONE ELSE CALLING FOR THE OVERTHROW OF SOCIETY

THIS OBVIOUSLY ISN’T MEANT FOR YOU.

You’re asking why radical leftists reject your reformism. Who other than radical leftists are going to give you an actual answer instead of a pat on the back?

Anyway the answer is liberalism is far more violent, it just exports the violence overseas and commits it at an industrialised level. The infamous “Terror” in France only killed a few thousand people - the Iraq war killed over a million. While millions were killed in the cultural revolution, hundreds of millions were killed by the British Raj. Revolutionary violence is in fact far less violent than regular capitalism, so you’re hated for supporting its continuation.

“Dead meat is hung, live meat is hanged.” Turns out most people’s grandma’s aren’t radical leftist english teachers.

Actually I jumped to conclusions based on the whole comment, as it makes them seem like they consider becoming a moral relativist to be speeding through maturity.

Ok, I see what you mean, the way you wrote it made it seem like you considered the process of becoming a moral relativist to be speed running maturity. Well done for growing out of it, then.

to go full moral relativism right away

Jesus, so you still think the mature stance was “maybe Hitler wasn’t morally wrong”? Bad news, you still have a lot of maturing to do. Like a fucking phenomenal amount. Just because your beliefs as a child were even more baseless doesn’t mean you’ve moved to a sensible position.

The only marketing I don’t hate is handwritten signs by the gate to a farm with addendums like “manur: $free$”

Oh I agree, what I mean is that the similarities were barely even superficial. They were both hero shooters, but so are Apex Legends and Rainbow Six Seige, and you’d never compare them to Overwatch.

because it was superficially similar to Overwatch it absolutely bombed.

Sort of, the real issue was it had no advertising of its own, just Randy Pitchford synergising buzzwordsalad on twitter and trying to create a rivalry with Overwatch. Nobody really knew what it was supposed to be from advertising, because nobody thought to just say “FPS MOBA”.

To my knowledge she got away without any real consequences - last I heard she had the same position at one of the competitors.

One time I got back from annual leave only to find out that my job had been done away with by the board over a year beforehand and my manager had spent the last year submitting fake timesheets claiming I was working a different position, so I could do the parts of her job that the assistant manager wasn’t already doing. The company had assumed I knew about it as they couldn’t get in contact with me when they discovered it and came down on the manager (my job was only the beginning of her fraud), but I was in the middle of nowhere and had no signal, so the first I heard about it was when I walked into the office and one of my coworkers went “what are you doing here?”.
