  • I think they just meant that it is true for all countries, since every culture in earth is affected that way. So the distinction "people here come from countries,..." is redundant.

  • Look, I will quote wikipedia for you:

    straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1] One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".

    Calling somebodies god a sky daddy or invisible sky friend is not a fundamentally different thing than calling it god. It is disrespectful, but not a strawman. Nobody is questioning your belief in your god, they are just mocking it.

    To give you an example of what actual strawman fallacy looks like, here is one from wikipedia again:

    Another example of a strawman argument is U.S. president Richard Nixon's 1952 "Checkers speech".[13][14] When campaigning for vice president in 1952, Nixon was accused of having appropriated $18,000 in campaign funds for his personal use. In a televised response, based on Franklin D. Roosevelt's Fala speech, he spoke about another gift, a dog he had been given by a supporter:[13][14]

    It was a little cocker spaniel dog, in a crate he had sent all the way from Texas, black and white, spotted, and our little girl Tricia, six years old, named it Checkers. And, you know, the kids, like all kids, loved the dog, and I just want to say this right now, that, regardless of what they say about it, we are going to keep it.

    This was a straw man response; his critics had never criticized the dog as a gift or suggested he return it. This argument was successful at distracting a number of people from the funds and portraying his critics as nitpicking and heartless. Nixon received an outpouring of public support and remained on the ticket. He and Eisenhower were later elected.

  • Soooo.... still Elves then?

  • Yes, but the game was payrolled by Epic and wouldn't even exist without them. Its different from those other instances where they threw money at a game at the end and bought the exclusivity.

  • Sincerity detected...

    Apology accepted!

  • Well, there are in some countries publicly owned companies, whose main goal isn't profit generation, but providing a certain service (water or electricity provider, road work, public transport etc.) and only generate enough profit to keep it going. But those are not the majority and not the ones who are actively destroying our biosphere, so mostly not relevant.

  • Hm, not sure your apology is sincere... A second pic would show your true sincerity.

  • You geht a minimap which is not easy to read BUT you can make notes for yourself on the map. Which was huge, since you dont get a quest log or anything that tracks password and such stuff.

    And yes the level design is labyrinthian and not exactly realistic, but I enjoyed the flow of exploring it and circling back to a known region with a newly opened shortcut. (that was the part I loved most about Dark Souls)

    Finished System Shock Remake, I now understand why the original is seen as gaming milestone

  • Well, El Nino is a phenomenon in the pacific ocean. It being strong enough to have a direct effect on Europe would mean we are pretty much fucked.

    Europe is mostly affected by the gulf stream, which: surprise motherfucker, is also having very strong variances due to the climate collapse in the last years.

  • That is not how speed works in relativity. Even moving with 10 times the speed of light, you still take "forward time" to move to your end point.

    What will be happening though is that your point of reference will seem to travel backwards related to your starting point IF you travel away from your starting point.

    So you move with FTL from A to B, then you will see A's past light, which you overtook while traveling to B, arriving at B, thereby seeing your past "as happening now", but only at point B. But the time will still be ticking forward. And while you travelled to B, you raced against the light coming from B, meaning you travelled faster into the future of B.

    If you then travel back with same speed from B to A, you will still be in the future from when you started in the first place. But you will see yourself standing at B. And again, while travelling from B to A, you raced against the light coming from A, meaning you saw that future happening at FTL speed.

  • Was sind OpenChaches? Hört sich interessant an.

  • Definitely, there is even already the sequel to Wyrmspan out: Finspan, which is again about real world biology, this time fish.

  • But not painting with interest in architecture!

  • Then it goes completely uncontrolled into the ground and is very hard to remove. What you want to do is to seal the pipe so the back flow happens inside the facility (assuming they didn't completely butcher the pipe installation, which.... you know... isn't safe to assume)

  • Hm, never tried version 1....

    Something to look forward to, when I'm going swimming next time.

  • I think notifications don't work in main posts, you have to write a comment with them.

  • Sorry to misuse your comment but I want to check if the notification is going through now. @kek_kecske_31@lemmy.world you got a notifitication now?

  • Hm, you put into words what always bothered me about it, but I couldn't exactly form the words to describe it.

    Nowadays I would be glad to be able to get into the nothing box again. Always on brain it is, sadly, for me.
