TIL bones have gender.

I dunno, Saruman is so knowledgeable in lore that I wouldn’t be surprised that he knew the strongest refuge of his closest neighbors intimately.

The one I always heard was “Dead-headed Ed edited it”.

The true centrist take.

Yup, but their products don’t work as well, don’t work for everyone, or have other downsides. Banting’s original insulin would be dirt cheap today, but it’s shit compared to what we have now, so the best products on the market today charge a premium for either efficacy or convenience.

It’s ironic, by trying to get them to hate each other he accidentally became something for all of them to rally against.

Major Payne already taught us that this works:

“They hate you!”

“Good. It’ll draw them close together, make 'em a team.”

I’m still going strong two years later! :D

Yup, never let a pesky thing like the truth get in the way of a good story, especially when you have a vested ideological interest in it.

Had me in the first half.

“The right of free speech is only granted to those with mainstream ideas we already agree with.”

Got it. That’s a pretty messed up take, imo.

Exactly. Cancelling visas is an atrocity when it’s people or ideas we like, but it’s laudable and warranted when it’s people or ideas we don’t.

Not really, no.

Thanks! I’ll try it out!

Edit: I got it working! Þanks for ðe help! :D

It shortens two sounds the way they do it - the voiceless interdental fricative [θ] (think, bath) and the voiced interdental fritative [ð] (them, bathe).

If I were to do it, I’d use thorn for θ and eth (ð) for ð, but I can’t find a way to do so easily enough on Android for it to be worth it.

Stop helicoptering, put my clothes back on, and just sit in the chair?

That’s what those phrases mean.

Lol, no it isn’t, but your tribalistic mischaracterization is noted.

I knew this comment was coming.

The SMB2 that was a direct sequel to SMB1 came out for Famicom Disk System, not NES. There’s only one SMB2 that came out for NES.

Also, Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic was an advertising game released specifically for Fuji TV’s Yume Kōjō entertainment expo in 1987. As such, because it was just a one-off event title, they took a prototype platform game that Miyamoto had already influenced Tanabe to make more “Mario-like” (but was shelved when the Famicom couldn’t run it as intended), reskinned it to feature the characters and setting of the expo, and released it for the Disk System.

So, NES Super Mario Bros. 2 was a polished, Mario-themed reskin of a rushed reskin of a prototype Mario-esque platformer.

All of that is to say that, yes, Doki Doki Panic was in fact most likely a Mario game in the first place.

3 over World, but SMB2 is the best Mario game on the NES.

“Basic empathy” is the American left’s equivalent of the right’s “common sense” - both are equally thought-terminating cliches.
