anything can be a refutation if the intent is to refute something, however that doesnt imply its correct or valid. An easy re-refuting of what she said would be to point out that anything can hit a point of too much of its primary focus. Desserts can be too sweet, gore-y movies can be too gore-y, action movies can be too actionn, etc.
on the other one, theres a whole school of design revolving around what things are unrealistic in an unrealistic setting. The whole argument of "well there's dragons and magic so literally anything that happens no matter what or anything shown no matter what is logical in the context of the subject matter" doesn't really hold up at all. Things need internal consistency, things need to be believable within themselves. An accepted by society "out" gay/trans character in a piece of media in which the society doesnt have anything specifically against those or perferably an active acceptance of things outside a social norm? believeable.

That’s not “gamer dudes”
That’s humans. Literally any form of entertainment with the capacity for “characters” will have people like that in their community. They are one of the many vocal minorities in any community as the vast majority of a community gives very little shit about anything to do with it and just enjoys an entertainment form without much further thought about anything more than surface level details. Most people that consume a given “character bearing media” probably won’t even remember enough about it the next day to have any complaints about it.

the secret to affection for this id assume would be to put your hand on its head from the side, lacing your fingers through the pokeys from the middle of them and giving it nice head scritches/pats/rubby like that

the whole point of hazard pay is that something changed about the job causing it to be more dangerous to continue doing. A pandemic definitely counts.

a few issues with these randomly drawn lines, one shows the queen going diagonally from a dark square to a light square. Multiple lines show pawns going straight left and right. There's a line with no arrows on it going between e5 to e7. There's also an arrowless line going from a2 to e6 and then from e6 to b2. There's a line going from dark square g5 to light square d3 diagonally. There's a line with 2 arrowheads on it going from d7 to f7.
god, if you're going to make fun of chess at least make the spaghetti of moves possible lol

ah yes, even tho they are crammed into a warhouse with eachother with multiple protests happening to get more infection prevention measures put in place, the people working in amazon warehouses dont count as "the public" therefor they cant spread the virus to each other. Not like people could catch it from somewhere else like the grocery store, be asymptomatic during incubation as per normal for covid, and spread it to everyone else on their 12 hour shift and risk spreading it to the next shift during shift change.

My phone is basically brand new (in that I bought it second hand and factory reset it so it thinks it’s brand new) so this is some of the closest to default iPhone predictives you can get. Also idk why vegan is in there I’ve never typed the word myself and am definitely not a vegan

just a reminder that the earliest known mention (in the form of a visual depiction) of cornrows is on ancient greek statues and many european cultures had styles that braided hair down to the scalp like that, just not in exactly the same way.

the way its worded is
"added obviously a very key female element to that world"
which doesnt really have a positive way of framing
youve got
1. implying its obviously key simply because its female
2. implying its obviously lacking existing key female elements
3. or implying both at once

I can 100% see a small child who doesn’t know wtf the word philosophy is thinking, with no other context for the word than hearing doctor in the sentence and potentially thinking that philosophy sounds similar to some other illnesses that she’s heard on tv or overhear adults speaking of, that the word is the name of a sickness and asking if what they think is true. Kids made assumptions and ask questions basically all day.

The last good one on console was Custer's Revenge 3 comments

before anyone comments about how console has skyrim mods now, play station skyrim mods cant add any new assets to the game, they are only allowed to use assets already existing in the game meaning no new items, just rejigged existing items, no new models or meshes, any new locations or npcs have to use existing visuals and existing audio and existing npc and location system rules.
Xbox modding is a bit better than that but not by much at all, playstation skyrim and fallout are both limited to a single gig of mods. Xbox modding is limited to 5 gigs of mods which is basically nothing especially with the fact xbox isnt limited to vanilla assets, you somehow have to fit all of your mods new visuals and audio into 5 gigs and theres a total active mods cap on xbox that counts any mods, even mods that just add new visuals to the game which on PC the limit is an engine limitation that only counts mods that add an item to the load order.

otaku as a culture is still stigmatized a bit in japan. People still have an idea of what they assume someone that enjoys anime looks like, the same way that many people in the english speaking west have an idea of someone thats knowledgeable about how computers work or someone that watches american cartoons like simpsons or futurama.

just going to point out that using conservative as a dirty word makes you just as much of a useless piece of shit as people that use liberal as a dirty word, not better

ifi you email steam support telling them that you would like refund a game that doesnt work at all and that you spent the 2 hour grace period trying to get the game to work rather than actually playing it they'll usually be kind and refund it for you

Law enforcement doesn’t deal with 90% of the law. They deal with just criminal law and the only time they are making decisions is on very specific stuff which their training is focused on.
First you cut out all of the civil law as they don’t deal with the details of that, then you cut out all of the criminal law that doesn’t require police to mess with it other than just arresting the dude when they are told to arrest him like tax evasion. Now cut out any of the law that isn’t something that police see during their normal moving around on patrol but still warrants a police response when reported.
Now you have all of what police need to know about the law which generally is “do what the people that outrank you tell you to do”
The most legally complex thing a cop needs to know about is how traffic tickets work and whether punching someone or pointing a gun at someone is something you can arrest someone for.
