There's two lampposts growing out of each other and everything in the photo casts a shadow in a different direction.

She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.

I feel like there's always been a culture of boys and young men who didn't respect women, there's just never been podcasters actively promoting it.

The internet allows idiots to broadcast their message worldwide and social media promotes the most controversial stuff in order to drive engagement and, more recently, to promote a culture war that keeps the populus divided.

Appropriate that you used tea bags because it's a popular legend that tea bags were created after customers misused the product. Some tea sellers started selling their tea in silk bags with the intention that customers would remove the leaves from the bag before use. Instead, customers dipped the bag of leaves directly into water.

Couldn't they just rate limit requests like every other API?

I had to look it up. It's what the Conservative party is calling the budget deficit. Carney's proposed budget has more spending than income and they're calling it "inflation tax" now. Probably because "axe" and "deficit" don't rhyme.

Easy, just name the second kid Nadir.

That&#39s cruel!

All four gospels in the Bible recount a story of Jesus being brought to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, by Jewish leaders who accused Jesus of crimes and requested his execution. The story goes that Pilate had to do what the leaders asked but was not convinced Jesus was guilty of anything and decided to give him a chance at freedom. The Jewish holiday of Passover was happening and it was a tradition for Roman leaders to release a Jewish prisoner. Pilate offered a crowd of Jewish people the choice between freeing Jesus or a man named Barabbas (who is described as an insurrectionist against Rome and a murderer, not a thief). The Jewish leaders in the crowd turned them against Jesus and had them call for Barabbas to be released. Pilate is then said to wash his hands to symbolize the crowd is responsible for Jesus' fate and not him.

Historically, there's no evidence Romans ever released Jewish prisoners for Passover and Pilate himself is described as a ruthless tyrant who did not hesitate to execute Jewish people who did not recognize the authority of Caesar. There's no chance he would have freed someone who killed Romans, nor would he have been forced to execute someone he didn't want to execute because Jewish leaders requested it.

The Bible story was probably meant as an exaggeration of how much Jewish leaders didn't like Jesus and his message and how people followed corrupt leaders over the actual son of God. The meme is pointing out people seem to have missed the point of the story and would do the same thing today.

My guess is to maintain plausible disability. A foreign government assisting you win an election isn't illegal if you aren't aware of it. It becomes illegal when you know it's happening and do nothing to stop it.

You can learn those things any time. Do you mean your goal is for your income to be from games/webdesign/art? In that case you can always join a company. If you mean you want to independently create and sell your works it's going to be very tough. You're essentially starting your own business and most business startups fail.

I think you mean:

It's called Tetraphobia and it's common throughout Asia due to the words for "4" and "death" having similar pronunciations in many Asian languages. In the west, triskaidekaphobia, fear of the number 13, is more common but the exact origin is unknown.

Screw anyone who says Stardew Valley is a cozy game. If I don't water my plants they die! If I stay up too late I'll lose money! I can't get the fish I need unless I fish at 6pm in the mountain lake on a rainy Tuesday in winter! Abigail has once again dominated me at the egg hunt! Ahhhhh!

There are definitely improvements that can be made in this area. I'm all for requiring transparency about what exactly is being purchased, like the California law that requires informing the purchaser if they are buying ownership or a licence to access, or Steam's store page requirements to list all DRM, third party accounts, anti-cheat, etc. However, this initiative is vague, doesn't suggest any actual law changes, and its promoter seems to be more into the idea of data hoarding than consumer protection.

From the initiative:

Videogames themselves are unique creative works. Like film, or music, one cannot be simply substituted with another. By destroying them, it represents a creative loss for everyone involved and erases history in ways not possible in other mediums.

This has nothing to do with consumer protection. He's even said in a video that he wants the genre of gacha games to end. I play gacha games. Why does he get to prevent me from playing games I like? I thought we were protecting consumers? I feel like this cause is like the PETA organization. It's definitely a great idea in general, but they're going about it in an extreme way.

Veritasium has a video about audio illusions that talks about this! An interesting bit he brings up is how researchers put prosthetics over peoples' ears to change the shape and it caused them to temporarily lose their echo location ability. It went back to normal over the course of several days as the brain adjusted to how the new shape of the ear bounced sound.
