He is a certain type of anti-intellectual who believes "nothing is true unless I discover it myself."

Education is useless, truth is a lie, etc, etc.

So he destroys everything he touches until he can recreate knowledge himself, poorly, expensively, and redundantly. Then declares himself a genius for getting back to basically where the rest of humanity already was years ago.

The year they won the SB, they topped the league in O-Line spending. The next year, as contracts ran out or were otherwise shed, they dropped to 6th but made the SB again.

From the 2015 season through 2024, they've only been in the top half of the league once (barely, 2017, ranking 16th) while winning three playoff games total over those 10 years.

Not a lore expert, so if anyone else challenges me on this, they're almost certainly right.

The world was flat at one point, but canonically became round at the end of the second age (before LOTR). That said, some beings can still perceive the world differently. Primarily this is in reference to elves' ability to just piss off and leave the world behind, but maybe all non-humans have some latent ability to see things humans can't?

Just because a 3060ti is technically capable of ray tracing doesn't mean I want you to keep turning it on every time the driver gets an update.

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.
