For what it's worth, and I... guess relevant to happy thread...? It is fairly likely nuclear winter wouldn't happen even with a pretty large exchange. The original calculations made that scenario was based on were apparently hella' wrong, so for all the other troubles nukes flying aren't particularly likely to be a global scale extinction event due to fallout and dust and whatnot. It'd still suck giant donkey balls and there'd be stupidly huge repercussions, but a good chunk of the (human relevant, particularly) world would still be in relatively okay shape -- it's unlikely we'd be reinventing fire or whatever.

Shit, it'd be one of the few things that could probably get me agreeing with those three, too. Imperial japan is not something we want to see come back even a little bit

Hell, just as a general thing teaching... all sorts of stuff, but particularly things that can get as complicated as anything to do with sex or gender (both of which are issues kids start running into young), really is kinda' fucking hard, and your average parent's qualifications and experience in dealing with that ranges from literally nonexistent to incredibly slipshod to actively harmful (due to anything from ignorance in the case of parents who are that way because they didn't know what screwing caused to begin with, to fuckers that are abusive in one way or another).

All the good will and crap in the world (if it's even there!) means approximately sod all when you have no goddamn idea what you're doing and you're perforce at-best halfassing it because of that. Doesn't matter how much time you spend with a kid if you can't teach them worth a damn, and a lot of people by and large can't for all sorts of different reasons.

And shit, there shouldn't be anything wrong with that, either! Plenty of folks can't teach worth a damn regardless of whether they knocked someone up or popped out a kid, that doesn't mean they're lesser or bad people or whatever it just means they need some bloody help, and we need some way to make sure a baseline level of knowledge is imparted (i.e. school and education standards! Parental assistance in general!), both for the general societal good and individual harm prevention.

No clue whatsoever. I haven't seen video confirmation, but I have seen mention it's even possible to parry stuff like windy stickman's magic sword (whichever marge it is, the one with the magic hammer that's the first major boss for most folks) and junk -- part of the complications involved is (on top of parry being able to get on a bunch of non-shield things) there's at least four different sorts of parries (buckler and normal, golden, whatever it is that parries magic, which may come in different varieties!) I can recall off the top of my head, so. Maybe it's the tool, maybe it's the specific parry art, maybe it's something else entirely. Couldn't say, all I'm doing is watching othet folks play, heh.

Isn't freedom of speech in the US the ability to say whatever you want and not be censured? Like, I could say, "Death to all baseball players" all I want, and no one can censure me BUT freedom of speech also doesn't magically protect me of the implications of my speech. That's it, I can still go to jail if I'm advocating to kill someone else or whatever.

In short, does it mean you can be an asshole and no one can force you to shut up about it, but you still can suffer the consequences of being a asshole?

This... really ain't the thread for it, but. No, not really. Again, the gov't part is important (and also not unlimited) -- you can holler all you want on a public square (noise and decency laws at a minimum allowing), but that doesn't mean you can do it anywhere at any time, i.e. toady is entirely within his rights to shut down or censure discussion on this forum, and similarly for pretty much every non-government organization. Our free speech laws indeed do not protect you from consequences, nor do they guarantee you access to any platform under any circumstances. They give you fairly specific protections from government intervention regarding speech and that's by and large it.

If a publishing company wants to literally censor the fucks out of your work before publishing (or doesn't want to, say, host or publish white supremacist propaganda, like some fairly major ebook distributors dumped, lately), that's probably going to be between you and them, with the right to say "nah" entirely theirs. If you're screaming outside someone's bedroom window at two in the morning, the cops can haul your ass off. So on and so forth.

That sounds terrifying, heh.

In other news, one good use for delicious chicken saunce: Ramen seasoning! Breakfast today is plain noodles with reduced salt turkey bacon, a bit (sub 1-serving) of cheese, and a bit of the chicken sauce. Is good!

Essentially, you go into a scrap yard and pick up a 2015 Whatever and then pick up the parts you need to fix the 2015 Whatever, and rebuild it.

You can do that, but at least in florida it involves both quite a bit of nuisance and DMV/title wrangling, and having to get a special sort of title that basically means you can't resell it for even a fraction of the money you'll spend to fix it (unless you find someone staggeringly gullible, I guess, but that risks potential fraud charges and such so, y'know, you takes your risks). It's a pretty lose/lose situation from a financial angle doing it entirely legit, last time I got involved helping to unfuck a mess related to that.

... wait, limited number of mimic tears? You mean larval tear, the respec consumable?

Even if there's a limited amount, isn't there a bunch of them and you're pretty trivially able to load a backup save anyway?
