What's the fidget that, after you got it, you realized you needed it all along?

For me any soft foam ball I can throw at the wall and then catch again. It's occupying brain regions I don't need for reading or watching on the monitor while not making noises for my neighbours.

why is lemmy so anticatholic?

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.

Compared to neanderthals, modern humans live longer, are more intelligent, taller, but also more frail. We were the elves this whole time.

Exclusive Interview with Remedy’s New CEO: “Alan Wake and Control Should Have Sold More"

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.

Starbucks’ Korean sales fall after backlash to ‘Tank Day’ ad campaign

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.

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)
