I hadn’t heard about any of this until now so I looked it up and I’m still pretty confused. Were people seriously harassing the dev just because of problems with the emulator? That’s the only reasoning I can find and I don’t understand how anyone can care that much about something so inconsequential.

More olive oil

So my point isn’t that there is some great threat from Republicans.

That’s the argument you seemed to be making, or at least that’s how it seemed to me.

Yes, this is a population effect. This doesn’t mean we should single out Republicans for discrimination, just that they need to stop treating people who dress funny as an inherent threat.

I completely agree, but you were saying previously there needs to be a specific effort to prevent Republicans from committing sex crimes. That seems to fit the discrimination you are now saying you don’t support.

That’s why I corrected you and said the effort should not be specifically geared towards republicans.

However, on a given day, a random child is much more likely to encounter a Republican child predator than a drag queen child predator.

That’s true but again, only because there are more republicans than drag queens. If they aren’t more likely to be a child predator than others, they don’t require different treatment than others.

Now add in the overwhelming statistics that show child predators are usually known to and trusted by the child’s parents, and the emphasis that conservatives place in trusting those placed in authority above them, and you have a recipe for disaster.

I do not find this very convincing. I don’t see how republican ideals would result in more predatory behavior. Again, if you have evidence of this that isn’t anecdotal I would love to see it.

No, a larger effort should be made to protect children from child predators in general. I haven’t seen any evidence that republicans are more likely than the average person to be a child predator, nor have I seen any that suggest the same for drag queens. If you have that evidence, I would like to see it.

This might sound crazy but i think texas has a higher population of republicans than drag queens

It isn’t supposed to be used in densely populated areas because its extremely dangerous. Even if it wasn’t intentionally used as a weapon (which it very obviously was), then its still not excusable because it still causes a lot of harm to civilians.

Anyone who has any decency or feeling of inner justice will support innocent civilians regardless of their country of origin, and will condemn terrorist acts and war crimes regardless of who commited them.

I interpreted the “stricter” definition as just being more intense. Like its only used to describe someone who reads constantly, and knows nearly everything about literature. Or someone who is almost obsessively studying math, or chess theory. Or someone who is very interested in numerous “nerdy” things.

Maybe that’s not what they meant, I’m not sure. You’re right, their wording is kind of ambiguous.

I don’t think they mean it to be negative. I assumed they mean its used more loosely now and has lost some of the meaning it used to have as a result. They can’t find a more fitting word for what they want to say, so they just specify they mean the stricter definition of the word nerd.

You could try ds/dsi games that are designed for touch screen. I’ve played Pokémon black without many issues. Apart from that, if you have the option to use a pc, it will be a better experience. The benefit of using your phone is just that its mobile. I usually bring an xbox controller with me when I travel so I can play whatever game I want.

I highly recommend emulating games on your phone. Some of them aren’t great without a controller but its worth a shot.

Well according to you, being natural and having a long history means its safe. Are you now saying that maybe a substance’s origin has nothing to so with how dangerous it is?

If people are drinking more than one of these per day, that’s a problem. It should be more like once every few days or optimally, never.

200mg of caffeine is reasonable depending on body weight.

“The principle sources of caffeine intake among adolescents are sweetened coffee and energy drinks, with a daily caffeine intake below the current suggested maximum acceptable levels for adolescents (2.5 mg/kg body weight/day”

An opinion is not medical science.

Yes I said its an opinion, I made no claim it was medical science. My opinion is that in many cases, a teenager consuming reasonable amounts of caffeine is not something to worry about. I base this off of the knowledge I have of caffeine as someone who isn’t a doctor. If you want a doctor’s opinion, you should go to a doctor instead of the internet.

You don’t need a medical degree to have an opinion. Caffeine is a mostly harmless drug.

I have said multiple times at this point that its not worth learning imperial for whatever advantages it may have. Its obviously not good to create new units for every application. But that’s not what I said is it? I said there are aspects of imperial I would miss if I switched entirely.

Or, here’s a wild idea, you could use some indicator that shifts the unit’s scale, some kind of „prefix“ you slap in front of it.

Show me the indicator for Celsius that makes it a proper size for that application.

I would if you were able to have a real conversation, but all you deliver is a 47/53 grasping for straws per freedom eagle.

I guess that’s how you would see it if you just ignore all of my arguments and assume metric is better at everything all the time. Do you think I’m doing this because I’m patriotic? You think I started this argument where I openly admit imperial’s faults, just to defend America’s pride? You have ignored nearly all of my arguments because you are unable to accept the fact that metric isn’t better at literally everything. Nothing is perfect, and I’m not sucking america’s dick by telling you that. The one thing I got wrong was assuming you wanted a real conversation.

A “coffee” at starbucks, or an energy drink Have more in common with a dessert, then water filtered thru ground up beans.

Is your only problem the sugar? If so, don’t you think some coffee drinks should be regulated as well as energy drinks? That’s essentially my point, I don’t think it makes sense to enforce age restrictions on energy drinks but not on similar products too.

If its the caffeine, then regular coffee isn’t necessarily better than an energy drink anyway. Caffeine content in coffee varies wildly based on numerous different factors. You can make a cup of black coffee with 265mg of caffeine in it, and it would even be cheaper than one with 100mg.

coffee is natural and has been used for centuries.

So is cocaine and opium. Are you joking? I honestly can’t tell.
