Technically, hippos don’t swim. They run along the ground. So if you pick a deep enough body of water, you might still have a chance.

Ultra-libertarian Jingoist? I’m as confused by that combination of words as I am the flags on the truck.

Give me an archive link and I’ll click it every time. Otherwise, almost never.

But… the abuse is literally baked into my original comment. DRM. DRM is the abuse. Just because you’re used to it doesn’t mean that it was ever ok.

Valve is a company whose profit model is based on DRM. They were never your friend. Thanks for proton, though.

The earlier kill screen just happened today by Fractal. He got the single into level 155.

He also got the level 155 crash today. Second person to ever beat the game.

I disagree. I think it’s inevitable. They already have the final hundred levels mapped out, and there are long stretches that are completely safe. The challenge will be levels where you can’t take singles and also the levels where you have to push down on every piece, but compared to what’s already been accomplished, it’s only a matter of time.

I agree with all of that. I don’t see our two comments as in conflict, except that when I said “societ[al]… standards on the rejection of nudity”, I didn’t draw the line at sex organs. But I don’t think Twitch is going to ban short people any time soon, if you’re worried about a slippery slope.

My original reply was in regards to the word “sexist”. If your definition of “sexist” is so morally neutral that it includes literally any kind of discrimination between sexes, then that’s fine; this is “sexist”, and so are all of us. But since most people use “sexist” to refer to a moral transgression, it seems silly to me to pretend that male and female nipples are the same, and I don’t see any moral hazard in saying so.

Whether or not society should care so much about titties isn’t a question I was trying to address, only that it’s not sexist to do so.

Yes, we’re talking about the way society and twitch treats people differently… on the basis of physical sexual characteristics expressly regarding the topic of physical sexual characteristics. I’ve never used Twitch, but unless there’s something I’m supposed to be reading inbetween the lines, I don’t see the problem with banning female nipples. If society is going to have any standards on the rejection of nudity, I don’t see why the line has to be drawn somewhere before nipples and no further.

There are literal sex differences between men and women. If we include those in the definition of sexism, we cheapen the word.

Why wouldn’t there be warlords? I’m not sure how this comment follows. Without a government, you get both eggs in one basket, which the original commenter agrees is bad.

In response to everyone’s sandals comments, you’re really missing out if you don’t go barefoot in the snow every now and then, so long as there’s only a light layer. Every step is cushioned and refreshing. It’s good endorphins all around, like taking a breath of fresh air after leaving a stuffy room. When the snow gets high enough that it kicks up onto the tops of your toes, that’s cold.

Everyone is actually mildly intolerant to carageenan. Why it’s used as a food additive is beyond me.

Edit: My wife switched us to Colgate and hasn’t had problems since.

we just can’t avoid it anymore

Speak for yourself. Besides, all-or-nothing privacy is a false dichotomy. Giving out less personal data is still better than giving out everything, and you don’t need 100% privacy to be unprofitable to advertisers.
