Yeah, same. Never been asked. I’ve known for a long time I’ve never wanted to have children.

But that’s purely for me. Not for me to pass judgement on anyone who does want kids, it’s such a personal choice.

The Aboriginal culture of Australia.

Where I live, you have boring reused English place names like Brighton and Canterbury, and then much more distinguishable and interesting place names from the indigenous peoples like Dandenong and Bullengarook. When you learn the interpreted history of the name, I really appreciate the name more. Dandenong is thought to have come from Tanjenong, which means “lofty mountains.”

Then there are some bastardisations - what is now known as Toorak is from the word Turrak, which means “reedy grass”

Indigenous culture here is so willfully ignored and diminished by so many people. I think it’s really cool that we do have some ongoing reference to the oldest continuous culture in the world, even if it only comes up in meme culture as a funny haha :)

Hell, as a human I’ll take that deal. When can I move in?

Good point, but is it chicken or egg?

I think a lot of cities with truly good public transit developed as walking cities. The population was first, and the transit came after. Not always true - look at Barcelona - but my city (Melbourne Australia) is pretty cleanly defined into the part that developed before everyone had a car (radiating train lines serviced by trams), and areas that came after (radiating train lines serviced by buses, or not serviced at all).

You’re right, he’s only a convicted felon.

All systems have anomalies. A healthy system addresses the anomaly per the rules of the system. An unhealthy system breaks to accommodate the anomaly.

I think at this point it’s a lot of nostalgia. But the game does have a lot in it, so once the jank becomes endearing rather than off-putting, it is easy to lose yourself in my experience. There are still heaps of quests and parts of the game I haven’t finished. And if I want to replay something, I can approach it very differently each time.

I think it’s an okay game. I think it was the best available game with mass appeal (see overlap of marketing with early Game of Thrones) during formative years for a lot of people, which extended and amplified the volume of discourse.

Technically, yes, a keyboard recessed and angled down+away from you would be the best ergonomics. Or tented, so the centre of the keyboard is raised while the left and right sides are flush with the desk, so that your wrists are rotated with palms facing each other. A lot of pro eSports players rotate their entire keyboards by 30-90° to better suit left wrist alignment, since the right hand only has to operate the mouse.

I’ll die on this hill - the generic modern keyboard is absolutely terrible for your wrists, and is responsible for so many people having RSI!

Because males as a term had not picked up culturally loaded meaning from those who would exploit them.

I like it when I have plans - camping, long motorcycle trips, board games with friends. Totally with you otherwise during work periods. Seeing the possibility and being unable to do anything with it is the worst.
