It seems he is just too far up his arse to admit he is wrong. The pony question perfectly shows this.

I admit I only read about half of it, but I don’t think the second half could convince me why anyone would ever think this concept works.

If you teach children to guess based on the pictures, they are not reading - that much should be obvious. I’m confused how they would even start to read anything without pictures. You cannot guess based on the context if you cannot read deep enough to establish one, even worse your context could be wrong.

However, the worst advice is to skip words. You’re not learning new words if you skip anything you don’t know already.

To be fair, Part 1 Dio had the same amount of tits.

Regarding the original panel: Powerscaling is so dumb. Fine, your imaginary character is stronger than mine. Now, what?

A soft drink is any water-based flavored drink [Wikipedia]

Water isn’t flavored and soup isn’t a drink.

You know, Custom Robo is awesome. I’ll gladly sit down, play it and lament the fact there wasn’t a new once since the DS game. That’s way better than watching some random stuff on Netflix.

I didn’t play any Zelda title on the GBA, but those could work due to their puzzle focus. However, even fully combat oriented games couldn’t really do much more than Zelda did in terms of their combat system, which ended up being quite dull.

I kind of liked the Legacy of Goku series, just because I like Dragon Ball and because level ups made a huge difference. The battle system wasn’t anything special, but it was satisfying to just grind a bit and afterwards demolishing anything in your path - just repeat this in any given new area.

Glad to finally see something without a soft drink included - I like the soup much more.

What are those fried bits? They kinda look like small Gnocchi or something similar.

I was fully on board with it until I looked at the screenshots. Don’t get me wrong, it is gorgeous. But it’s an action RPG, something the GBA usually didn’t succeed in. I was hoping for something turn based.

I mean it works, if you’re strong enough to penetrate the crust that is. Only works for real alpha males.

Given this data, I think I can reasonably predict that lyrics of pop songs in about 20 or 30 years will mostly consist of cursing. Maybe even sooner given my personal impression of pop songs repeating their lines more often each decade.

‘1 - 1,000,000 - 900 - 7 & 80 - 1,000 - 600 - 4 & 50’

Large numbers are alway broken up into blocks of 3, pronounced like the initial numbers from 0 to 999 + the name of the long scale number (thousand, million, etc.).

Short scale, in english goes like this this: Thousand (3 zeros), Million (6), Billion (9), Trillion (12)…

Long scale, as used in german, goes like this: Tausend (3), Millionen (6), Milliarden (9), Billionen (12), Billiarden (15), Trillionen (18)…

Long scale kind of makes more sense since starting with Million the names just count upwards. Million, Bi-llion (2), Tri-llion (3), etc. But since you still start with Thousand in short scale, Billion is the 3rd, Trillion the 4th and so on. If you want to figure out Octodeci-llion (18), the formula to get the amount of zeroes in short scale is ‘18 * 3 +3’ and in long scale ‘18 * 6’. Also keeps the names pronouncable for longer than short scale. However, it does make translating the names of large numbers between both languages a nightmare.

To each their own, I guess. I am not married with kids and neither do I want either of those. Luckily my girlfriend thinks the same.

Yes, I had to learn that too. It’s weirder for sure, but not in the context of this specific graph since ‘4 - 20 - [0-19]’ (80-99) still forms a neat cluster based on the first few letters.

German numbers are weird because we kinda switch the last two digits.

43 in most languages becomes ‘40 - 3’, but in german you say ‘3 & 40’.

But we do not pronounce the whole number backwards.

143 in most languages becomes ‘100 - 40 - 3’, in german you say ‘100 - 3 & 40’.

Yep, I have a lot of AUR packages installed. Never had any problems besides needing to remove a package once to resolve some dependency issues.

I really don’t get these memes. In about 9 years of daily use on multiple systems I never had anything break beyond a multitude of failures to update with pacman - all of which could be fixed within minutes - and in the early years having to restart my system every couple of months because it stopped recognizing USB devices - after many rounds of updates mind you. I’ve had more frequent troubles with windows. How did Arch get this bad rep?

You know, if everything else fails, I find solace in the fact these fuckers burn along with us. If you’re still conflicted, you deserve that fate.

The story gets amazing, too! It’s one of my favorite games on the system and the best on in its own series. Although, I’d also recommend Bravely Second and Bravely Default 2. Second is a story sequel, BD2 is stand-alone.

His pockets are only in two states each. He may be in physical possession of illegal drugs for that one state, but the drugs themselves may not be there. How would that be ruled?
