I had a similar feeling when replaying 3, VC and SA a couple years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed SA and VC, but 3 just had a kinda… depressing atmosphere? I don’t know how to best describe it, I guess it’s due to the main character never talking and thus having very little personality. Claude basically does whatever he’s told by whatever person he’s working for at the time, at some point there’s a falling out and Claude leaves everyone dead in his wake. When I play VC and SA, I get the feeling of playing in a world that is alive, where the main character makes friends, but in 3 after the story was finished I had a hard time thinking of any characters that were still alive. I still think 3 was impressive from a technological standpoint.

Of course, I might be remembering this wrong since it’s been some time, and there’s also some nostalgia since I played SA and VC when I was young, but not 3.

I hope she says yes, but demands twice her previous salary

“I can’t work from home, so nobody should!!!”

Look, when people who don’t not need to be present at an office can stay at home, it frees up the streets/trains etc for all the people who do. WFH benefits everyone, except owners of office buildings I guess, but fuck them lol

So sandwich is the parent category, and hot dogs are a type of sandwich? Are burgers, too?

Oh no I accidentally started researching, there is an actual British Sandwich Association that defines sandwich as “any form of bread with a filling, generally assembled cold”. The USDA, however, has different definitions for open and closed sandwiches and it depends on the percentage amounts of bread and meat… I guess if you put cheese on your bread it’s not a sandwich at all!

Why is it that country A starts occupying parts of country B, and some people start expecting country B to have peace discussions (ie, give land to country A)? There should be calls to country A to stop occupying country B’s land, and that’s it.

Dishonor! Dishonor on you, dishonor on your tuna!

The discussion is not whether solar needs more space per energy produced, (and it does, nobody is disputing that), the discussion is if the area difference is relevant in the first place. And there have points been made why it is not, namely:

1. You can cover area that is not natural anyways: parking lots, rooftops, farmland that does not need strong direct sunlight

2. There is so much space in a country compared to that needed for solar that or just does not matter. Obviously you don’t go and remove forests to put solar panels there

3. Plenty of space isn’t arable in the first place, so what’s the point of not putting solar there? Protecting the sensitive desert?

@GreyEyedGhost even gave you an actually ok argument against wind/solar, maybe try that one?

You keep coming back to that one single argument you seem to have with space requirements, which several people have explained to be ridiculous, and you just keep repeating it? Do you have any idea about the scale of a country vs that of a solar park?

The space saved is so miniscule compared to theobvious benefits (way cheaper, quicker and easier construction than nuclear, no problem with long term storage of waste products) that it is an absolute no brainer. Also, it’s not like windparks are on fields of asphalt.

The area required for enough wind and solar is still small enough to not be an issue. That nuclear needs less space per amount of energy produced does not matter

But we can

I want Todd to not make promises he can’t keep.

I agree the the democrats are not nearly serious enough about stopping climate change, but the republican party is actively hindering efforts and definitely worse for the plant in the long run.
Neither party being serious does not mean one isn’t way worse than the other

Anytime you have a chance to vote, take it, and vote for whatever option will be most likely to reduce the overall emissions. In most cases, this will probably mean voting for programs/parties etc that oppose conservatism.

I also have tightly packed teeth and can barely use interdental brushes on just some of them. What works well however are dental floss sticks, you can get them with pretty thin floss(es?) and they’re way easier to use than plain floss.
