Oh I thought I was a plural for like "metastisizationeds"

Wow! That's such a cute cat!

Or.. wait..

Damn, I had no idea bats were so fluffy!

I mean, he clearly did. He even provided the final weight.

Yeah, that one's just weird to me. It's literally written "Jiburi" in Japanese.

There's a concept in linguistics known as descriptivism vs proscriptivism. We either accept that things change meanings and pronunciations regionally and over time, or we try to absolutely state that there's one correct way, and every other way is wrong.

A major issue with the "I'm right you're wrong" approach is the in-group decides who is right and wrong. Regional slang is just wrong, not an equally valid way to speak. Those with formal educations are inherently more correct, and thus their grasp of their native language is more correct. This doesn't really make sense when you think about it, other than to put down groups perceived as lesser.

Additionally, academics can convince themselves of one thing, and totally fail to be relevant to the real world. This leads your average person to become disenfranchised with academia and talk about how academics in their ivory towers have no understanding of how the real world works.

Anyway, that's why I pronounce it joeff.

Yeah, this is true! The constant exploding puddles and stuff is interesting to look at, but does feel a bit chaotic and out of your control at times.

Honestly, it's just making me more excited about Baldur's Gate, since although I haven't played the early access I know it's a different combat system. That and the armour system of Divinity 2 really throws me off, gameplay wise, so it'll be great to hopefully have all the RP stuff but with a less irritating combat system.

How does the exploration feel? I loved the original Subnautica but reviews of Below Zero turned me off.

I've been playing Divinity Original Sin 2, in anticipation of Baldur's Gate 3. I got to the start of Act 2 about four years ago, and just never came back to the game. I always meant to pick it back up, so I started a fresh character and am nearly back to that point now.

I'm a totally separate person, and I can also verify that forcing business users to use IE for certain services is definitely a thing.

I'm not sure what your point is? It's not necessarily going to apply to ALL banks, but it'll probably apply to SOME of them, and that will suck if it happens to be your/my bank.

So, probably not the intended message, but clearly the beheadings got us nowhere.

Where's the copy pasta about how you had no choice but to hopelessly start masturbating in public when you saw this clearly super NSFW content?

We are the dumb poor idiots. The population in general.

I can't remember where I heard it from, but there was a good line about all citizens (particularly Americans) believing they are "temporarily embarrassed millionaires".
