Damn fine cup of coffee!

Yeah, that’s a decent way to put it. Or a lack of a reasonable amount of empathy.
Edit: libertarians are Prosperity Gospel paladins with wisdom as their dump stat.
I’ll disagree, slightly. They can also be:
I say this as someone who flirted with libertarianism in my early 20’s due mostly to a conservative religious upbringing. I’m not super smart, but I flatter myself to say that I’m above average intelligence and education, and there was still a brief time in my life when libertarianism served like a valid ideology. It took actually reading some objectivist philosophy and simultaneously reexamining and then rejecting my religious background before the flaws became evident.
Maybe it’s because I’ve become a pretty outspoken anti-theist, but after growing up and being exposed to better theological and philosophical arguments, I’ve come to the conclusion that Lewis is an overrated hack.
And yes, the Silent Planet books were absolute torture to get through.
It’s not that they “no longer have the ability.” Most people have never been able to comprehend things on that time scale when it’s happening in real-time. It’s only after the fact that people are able to look back and see clear signs and the early groundwork being laid.
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Exactly. I think we actually “started” just by giving them coloring pages of cartoony fantasy creatures and characters and then making up stories about goblins and dragons on our morning walks, which in turn got them excited about their characters and miniatures and rolling dice
You can start when they’re as little as 4 and have decent results. I started with mine when they were 5 and 3 with Hero Kids and by the time they hit 6 and 8, they’d graduated to Pathfinder 2 (edit: albeit with a great deal of help/handholding)
10/10, would indoctrinate children with gateway drugs games again
I’ve only ever heard it used in pulpy adventure stories/comics like Howard’s Conan world (some of which do admittedly have some if that implicit racism common to fiction from that time). Has it become more explicitly neo-Nazi?
Y’all got any more of them x3 jokers?
There’s always a relevant xkcd
God, I spent so much time I didn’t have playing KSP.
On the plus side, I did learn the basics of rocket science, so it wasn’t a total waste of time…
My God, is there nowhere I can be safe from being reminded that my beloved SFG are utter trash this year?
Not to mention “barley in middle school”
I don’t know about you, but I think that’s pretty good for a cereal crop.
“Riker treats objects like women, man!”
This should absolutely be an album cover for a black metal or trad doom band
Edit: in fact, the branches are practically a black metal band logo already
if I only had the

FTFY.
It’s actually not (just) the acidity. Pineapples and several other tropical fruits have an enzyme called papain that breaks down peptide bonds in a rather unique way, to the point that the texture of the meat can become quite off-putting if the enzyme is not used properly
Edit: acidic or not, it’s definitely best not to put any sensitive parts of your anatomy in pineapple juice
I believe that’s a cantaloupe.
The level of detail in the penis silhouette is commendable
