Bullshit, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia are EU countries, people bought HD2 and now can't legally play anymore. Steam has already issued refunds to some.

Odds of a sexual abuser need not be high for the man, they're simply 0% for the bear.

And for so many people there isn't even a choice. They bought the game, and now they can't play it, because no PSN in their country.

And even for some countries with access to PSN, creating an account requires photo-id and a face scan. That's complete bullshit.

With face scans! What the hell Sony?!

The difference is everyone CAN install a bad anti-cheat, or decide to not do it.

But if people who bought the game suddenly CAN'T legally play it anymore, because PSN doesn't allow accounts in their country, they don't even have a choice.

Selling the game in those regions in the first place was deeply wrong, but then taking away the ability to play AFTER they sold it to people, that's a bridge too far.

And we're not just talking about most of Africa (not that that would be less bad), we're also talking about countries like Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, those are EU members, how is there no PSN available there?

I'm absolutely not sold on the lower ecological footprint, the same hubub was made about vertical farming and that was either highly expensive or came with a gigantic footprint.

But I sure hope it pans out.

How is horizontal gene transfer between microbes in any way relevant to a discussion about the ancestry of chickens that only reaches back to the dinosauria clade? Chickens are invariably a sub-group of the bigger group dinosaurs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Chicken is equally close to T. Rex as all other birds. They all go back to the same common bird-ancestor who was a relative of T. Rex.

T. rex is more closely related to birds than to all non-theropod dinosaurs.

T. rex also lived closer to us in time than to Stegosaurus.

Same reason why humans don’t actually descend from monkeys, both monkeys and humans descend instead from a common ancestor that no longer exists

But that ancestor was a monkey! We are monkey, you can't evolve your way out of a clade.

This is why, IMO, Digimon could be a better representation of evolution than Pokémon, since one Digimon can evolve into many different forms, so that kitten could become a fridge, but also a dragon or a knight with cannons

But that is specifically not how evolution works. You can't evolve your way out of a clade, everything a cat would evolve into, would also be a cat. Maybe a weird cat, maybe a whale-cat (like whales are still ungulates, even if they are really weird ones) but still a cat. You can't evolve out of your ancestry.

Hans and Sophie Scholl definitely need to be on every list of people to admire
