The bellybutton is the most upsetting part of this post.

Thanks for being so generous with this! I've been meaning to try out Returnal for a while now so that would be awesome to get. Something that made me very happy this year was my dog. We got him just over a year ago as a puppy and I'll be honest it was pretty tough at the beginning, puppies are a lot of work and he's a stubborn little boy, but this year he's just got progressively better and better and it makes all the work we put in at the beginning so worth it.

Hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year!

Not directly relevant to your post I thought your post was culturally interesting. I live in the UK, and a pub pint will ALWAYS be what you listed as imperial pints. I believe it is illegal to call it a pint and it not be that size. I'm surprised how small the American pub pints are in comparison.

For people who are interested in the context, it was a student living at uni who moved home again during the COVID lockdowns. Once they'd lifted they came back to the flat to see this.

And what tells you is how fucked the internet is since almost every single webpage asks to use tracking cookies.

If it was a bar of soap moulded into a cock though we'd probably be seeing a pretty similar post

I would say lots of Indian food would fall into this category, there are lots of vegetarian by design meals which have things like lentils or chickpeas in to provide the protein that you're looking for. Something like a daal or chana massala curry is a good place to start.

For me it's the ability to type. Someone starts watching and immediately every other character is a typo.

I disagree with this mindset.

In a purely hypothetical scenario say 10% of people vote for the third party candidate, and this candidate has policies which neither of the two main parties have, say more green policies. When the results come in and one of the main parties lose by 5%, they're going to start thinking about adopting a few more green policies to capture some of that third party vote for the next election.

Voting third party can absolutely change the policies of the main parties, it happened in the UK with UKIP - a party which had less than 10% of the vote and no chance of a majority, but it spooked the big parties enough that they promised a referendum on EU membership.

But in a racing game the wheels can also twist from hard lock left to hard lock right in a millisecond, not sure that's possible or desired in real life

My partner also doesn't like losing, and so we bought a few cooperative games instead. Now we both have a great time regardless, as we both win or lose together. Aeon's End and Spirit Island are two games which we play which we particularly enjoy!

I think Zotero can generate a file which you can then import into LaTeX with all of the citation details. That's worked very nicely for me in the past.
