Without the sun, we never would have existed. Can something that didn't exist be dead? I think no. Silly sun, narcissistic asshole and bad at logic.

Sports at the top level already are dominated by rich kids. Wealth is actually more likely to lead to athletic advantages than being a trans woman.

Hmm, this link might be dead. Search for "Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport - Transgender Women Athletes and Elite Sport" and it should pop up.

Palworld is mine. I've been loving it so far.

I'd say a couple things though:

  1. Don't expect perfection. It's still early access and there are bugs. They put out a patch last night that fixed some of the most glaring issues, but there's still some wonky stuff. I'd recommend, when you build your base, to keep all the workstations that pals use on the ground level, and build your ceiling/second floor two units high. Some larger pals can't get through single tall doorways.

  2. Feel free to play around with your server settings if you want things a little easier/harder (but I'd say definitely turn off structure decay right away, and maybe increase pal spawn rate slightly, mine is at 1.2x and feels good). The game is almost entirely customizable to what you want it to be, everything between super casual fun and hardcore survival is easy to set up.

  3. Don't stress about min/maxing everything just yet. First of all, you probably simply don't need it while leveling up. Second, people don't know what the fuck they're talking about yet. There are conflicting sources for the best of pretty much everything. So just play how you like (but I'd say wait until you have a pal you know you'll use endgame before powering it up with essence/condensing, those can't be refunded to my knowledge).

There is/was a social media trend, to ask your male SO how often they think about the Roman Empire. A lot of men apparently think about it more often than you'd think, and that's the whole joke I guess. Because social media.

If that's what you're saying you don't understand, then sorry for overexplaining, but I'm pretty sure that's the context for this comic and maybe it'll help future viewers.

I also don't understand why it was a trend. But I've also never understood a social media trend in my life.

Oh, they think lawyers know about the loopholes, it's actually a part of their brainwashing. They believe the entire legal profession is a giant conspiracy, that we're taught how to get away with not paying for stuff in law school, and that we intentionally deceive the public so that they don't find out how corrupt we are.

Cuz, y'know, it's super easy to keep a conspiracy going in ~200 law schools, each of which admits hundreds of students at a time, and nobody ever drops out and feels spiteful enough to leak the "truth." Yup.

No, I want you to provide a source that says Go was invented in Korea. I also checked Wikipedia, and several other sites about Go, because you made me curious, since I had always heard it was invented in China.

Everything I've seen has said it was invented in China.

As opposed to your source which is..... "Trust me bro."

They asked for your source, not why theirs was wrong. You still haven't provided one.

My only experience with one wasn't all that bad, but still kind of funny.

Client was charged with resisting/obstructing and disorderly conduct. Basically, the cops had closed a road because of an accident. Client was on his bike, and the officer told him the road was closed and he had to go a different way. Client flipped his shit, started yelling that the officer had no right to tell him where to go (yes they do), and no right to ask for identification (yes, they do).

Client finally started going an alternate route, and the officer was going to just let it go. But then he doubled back and tried to blow past the officer. Got arrested. Hired us.

I called the prosecutor to see what kind of reduction they'd be willing to do (standard procedure), and they were willing to drop one charge and reduce the other to an ordinance violation (pay a small fine).

Told the client this, who then flipped out on me for talking to the prosecutor without his consent (???) and without him there (which is, y'know, what he hired us to do). Fired our firm and demanded a refund. We all had a good laugh, and he did not get a refund.

Yep, this is a common expression, and I fully endorse it.
