I mean, can you really put a patent on the idea of an astronaut suit for space soldiers? That seems way too generic.

I’d personally go with the meaning of the word native. Meaning natural to you; from the environment you were born into, the culture you were born into, the language your parents and family speak. So probably Cantonese. But that doesn’t mean it has to be your primary language or even something you are good at now that you have moved into a different culture and language.

Just one thing. The SPD doesn’t carry socialist in its name, they are social democrats. Capitalists with a veneer of social responsibility (which they haven’t taken serious in decades).

Because men and women have different body shapes. A small man and woman may need the same size but certainly not the same cut.

E: nvm i skipped over you talking about body shapes. Yes I’d agree that there should be more options, but even an overweight man will likely need and want a different cut than a woman of similar proportions. So the distinction between genders still makes sense, just that each needs to accommodate more body types.

It was meant as a sincere question with a cynical undertone. Dumping “unwanteds” is obviously horrible, but I understood part of the definition of concentration camp to be a place where people of disrepute with the authoritarians in power are interred for various hideous purposes. Not a place where people are deported to, and are then free to leave (except in the direction they were just brought from).

I mean, technically, they aren’t concentration camps because as far as I understand those are just places to dump the caught and deported unwanted people. They aren’t being kept there forcefully, no?

I read somewhere they consider us giant, retarded cats who are too dumb to hunt and that is why they often bring a dead mouse or bird and expect admiration. They brought food for the stupid helpless two legged cat.

Maybe you shouldn’t be able to buy an America sized bag of novelty plastic waste for 10 bucks.

Insurance companies denying coverage based on ai model predictions in 3, 2, …

“Weekly action report!? Oh, that means war for sure”

It certainly doesn’t help that men and women are more adversarial than they have ever been. The cause may be just, but at the end of the day everyone is just lonely and miserable, and afraid of the other.

Personally I think more time between releases is healthier for both the quality of the product and the now not perpetually consooming, consumer.

What really puts me off is that shows get canceled too often nowadays, even ones that do well because the service doesnt want to pay the cast better. So I tend to wait for shows to complete before I even consider them for my watchlist.

I recommend grabbing the full collection plus related movies elsewhere.

Why pay for 20 services offering 10 mid quality exclusives when I can pay for a VPN.

In short, the authoritarianism happens because it requires a large amount of power to make the societal changes happen in the first place, which would then give rise to a generation that can maintain the system without overreach.

Now the problem obviously is that humans are corruptible, and very few people in the history of our species have ever been given totalitarian powers and not abused it for their own power and benefit.

Only if you want your feed to be an echo chamber. In my opinion the best thing about the fediverse is that you can choose the rules and values you want to adhere to through your instance choice, without cutting off interaction with others unless you defederate their instances.

The frequent calls to blanket dismiss anyone on those instances are an unfortunate overreaction in my opinion.

No, back pain is a woke hoax

Pretty sure that depends entirely on the individual. Since being deaf (or blind for that matter) isn’t as binary as it appears there are various degrees of hearing impairment. Perhaps one person is completely deaf, while another is still able to perceive certain frequencies, and yet another just needs it to be really fucking loud but if it is they hear just fine.

From my personal experience with a nearly deaf acquaintance they are using a special kind of hearing aid they can tie into their devices via Bluetooth. So they have the sound sent directly to the device specifically configured to allow them to hear.

I’d also say the very nature of physically overpowering a person, and/or subduing them to possibly move them to a more convenient location lends itself more to men. I dont think many women can physically overpower another person in a life and death struggle, my spitballed guess is that female serial killer personality types tend to use more indirect or subtle means.

Angels of death come to mind as a more commonly female killer variety.

This is the publishing house in question. It has a decidedly conservative bias and has often been considered a sort of shadow power behind the throne with its immense reach and influence; able to significantly affect the political discourse and public opinion. You could probably compare them to the Murdoch / fox news empire in many ways.
