Yeah, I'm hoping they finally figure out the tutorial balance in Wilds. Earlier games had next to nothing for tutorials, and you pretty much had to look outside the game to even understand the basic movesets of the weapons, much less how things like skills work. I think they overcorrected with the recent ones though, it'd be nice if they could get a little better about introducing information in the world instead of constantly stopping the action to make sure the player sees it.

But yeah, absolutely do not use the OP armor, you'll only ruin your fun and then have a really hard time once you get to the real fights. The main reason to use it would be to power through low rank if you've done it on another platform or something.

Allowing anyone to just sell whatever chemical they come up with without first showing that it's safe would be insanely irresponsible.

Don't worry, you still haven't. It's still a blatantly nonsensical premise. Humans aren't just spontaneous power generators, we turn food into energy. If the machines can grow food to feed humans, they could just burn the plant material directly, increasing efficiency tenfold and eliminating all need for a wasteful energy sink like running a massive virtual reality.

So y'know, I'm more worried about a Terminator future.

She's doing exactly the same thing the dude you just accused of oppression is doing.

The main difference is that she has billions of dollars to promote her perspective, and millions of followers that listen to what she has to say. The dude "oppressing" her in this situation is just some random nobody on a site that might as well not even exist for all the cultural power it wields.

You had a pretty reasonable argument on the first post, but this took a hard turn into bullshit real quick.

Are you seriously complaining about requiring a signature? Why should weed paraphernalia be treated any differently to tobacco?

They completely cut off their society from the rest of the world, it's not like any African gets a pass in, they don't allow anyone that isn't Wakandan. It was like, a pretty significant plot point.

I fully don't get why people are reacting so much to this. Why the fuck shouldn't I vote against Biden in the primary? He's going to be the nominee regardless, this is exactly the time for Democrats to get out those protest votes.

I use KDE connect to send stuff between Android, windows, and Linux. Send files, clipboard contents, even use your android phone as a mouse for your PC.

Crustaceans are as closely related to insects as spiders and centipedes are. You're splitting antennae here.

Is there any argument to be made that edible crustaceans aren't bugs that doesn't boil down to 'ew gross'? I simply don't see how this is a stretch in any way.

150 years ago Lobster was considered disgusting trash food only eaten by the poorest Americans. This isn't about taste, it's about perception and the availability of meat. The main difference between a Pillbug and a shrimp (in terms of edibility) is the size. Most small bugs don't have enough meat to be worth preparing in a way where it's not obvious you're eating a bug. It's pretty much just aquatic arthropods that can escape the limitations of air breathing to get large enough to be a more appetizing food source.

"Bugs" is a generic term for everything from insects to arachnids and other things like Pillbugs - a crustacean and close relative of shrimp. Aquatic crustaceans may not typically be included, but the point is the distinction is arbitrary.
