Yup, as someone with the cilantro hating gene, it would be my undoing.
The first time I had cilantro was in a Pho, and I just thought the restaurant didn't wash their bowls out properly, lol.
Sorry lads, I'd love to enjoy cilantro like the rest of you, but I simply can't. Crucify me if you will, preferably on a piece of wood shaped like a cilantro leaf. If I go out like that, it will at least have to be dramatic.

Technically, you can't prove it! I could've also been talking about the cat or the unicorns. The only one you know I wasn't talking about was Jack Skellington because I mentioned him separately.

@xvarnah Lmao yeah the BioWare example is spot on. When I played Dragon Age II, I got to the part where (spoilers, y'all!) the slavers come for Fenris. So I chose the option "Take him." – I thought that Hawke would say something like "To take him, you'll have to go through me", because the option was in the bottom part, which is usually the aggressive response. But Hawke just went "ok lmao have him, bye Fenris, enjoy slavery!" and I just sat there flabbergasted. Poor Fenris didn't even fight, he just accepted his fate.
Ah, where are the days of Origins where the options were clearly spelled out with no "mood" indicator and you'd trial and error your way through the conversation, then spend minutes giggling at the lamppost in winter exchange.
@wolfballoonsquad yooo ProZD is the best!

Quote: "But after the age of two the girls started to like pink and, by four, boys were determined in their rejection of pink. This is the precise time when toddlers start to become aware of their gender, to talk about it and even to look around them to see what defines boy and what defines a girl. But just like adults, even very small children show biases towards their own group.
This group bias was also seen another study where three-to-five-year-olds were given red or blue t-shirts to wear at nursery. For one group, the red and blue t-shirts were constantly referred to, and by the end of three weeks the children liked everything about their own colour group better. And that was just three weeks."
So yeah, it might be that the truth is somewhere in the middle – there might be slight evolutionary differences that got exacerbated by our cultural norms.

From what I've read, there were pretty consistent differences in adults – both sexes like blue, but women tend to prefer a warmer, purplish shade, whereas men tend to prefer a greener color. (In other news apparently I'm a man, I love me a pale greenish blue, lol)
There are hypotheses about this being an evolutionary thing back from our hunter-gatherer times – with women being more likely to spot red berries and fruits, or being more drawn to pink because newborn babies are pink.
However, color preferences are also largely inconsistent in babies under 2 years of age, suggesting that it might be nurture rather than nature.

Don't forget high heels, originally made for men! So fellas, you better put dem stripper heels on if you want to be manly!
(Obviously kidding about the stripper heels, but if you want a bit more context and some lols, I recommend watching this /watch?v=roPQKEZK2X4 don't worry it's not a rickroll)

I mean, you look at how things worked during the Ming dynasty, with men castrating themselves to have a chance at becoming palace eunuchs and getting some political power, with the whole exclusivity thing and Game of Thrones-like scheming, and you think hey, not much has actually changed since then.

Okay so I read the whole article because I was really curious and most of it is actually praising the game for having such well fleshed out Orcs that you kinda feel bad for dominating or humiliating/breaking them. Which, yeah, the game really went far to give all the Orcs distinct personalities, but also if you've played the whole thing you'll know that doing a lesser evil to fight the much bigger evil is sorta the point. You're not supposed to feel like a hero, but as a person making a tough choice to fight a bigger threat.
The last two short paragraphs are the author's incoherent babbling about this actually being a dystopic sci-fi scenario about us treating robots/AI badly – my guess is that it's just there to justify the existence of the article which is 90% describing the romp the author had with one Orc who always came back from the dead.
In short, the article is incoherent gibberish half praising the game and trying to be relevant in *some* way... so not unexpected from Vice.

And the answer to all such questions is "it's a cat, it does whatever it wants"
Tbh that's probably the answer to the meaning of life or something.

Where's the lie? This is all based on the facts of the matter. I'm literally giving context, not leaving it out. How is it lying to say a situation is more nuanced than it might seem at first? Lol.
