I think they technically do, with stuff like Helldivers 2, Spiderman games, etc. I have Helldivers 2, but stopped playing it for a while in protest when they tried to make you use a PlayStation account for it, essentially cutting off a bunch of players in countries PlayStation doesn't operate in.

The chart should be somewhat descriptive in the correlation, and usually processing in intensity. The single death count having two different levels of funny isn't really explained by the chart, which isn't a real statistical analysis which might have odd data points like that, but instead is an extra joke.

As a joke, it doesn't portray itself well if the axies aren't swapped. When swapped, the joke is pretty obvious and understandable.

The necessity of food, shelter, and medicine that requires paid transactions or your character is permanently dead goes contrary to a free to play model.

Sure, but my point was general consensus. For the purposes of this discussion, I'll use the US. According to Pew (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/06/06/us-public-private-and-charter-schools-in-5-charts/) 83% of k-12 students went to public schools. Many of our parents couldn't afford to send it to private if they wanted to.

This of course varies by country, googling for a few countries (Japan, UK, Germany) actually all betrayed my expectations,with higher public school percentages for primary schools than the US. They generally do have different grade structures though. Edit: for those 3, primary/grade school went to 4th or 6th grade.

Personally elementary/grade school was up to 5th grade, 6-8th was middle, 9-12 high school. Technically I started school in Saint Vincent, in what I believe was a private school, but we moved back to the US when I was in 2nd grade going to third.

They do, though they damage knives.

Probably, but I have just the one wood one. I also don't put the wood one in the dishwasher to sterilize etc, and the more important thing is keeping them separate. I'll probably get a wood one for meat at some point.

Edit: bought more wood ones today even.

I also have different cutting boards for meat and raw things. My wood cutting board isn't for meat.

Agreed, doesn't make sense to me otherwise.

Generally not understood as such though. I would say common vernacular is more accurate to the intended meaning than the technical truth

Or we're aware or our country's effect on tge world, especially negative. Some of the US aid and our previous acceptance of asylum seekers in my opinion was required because the US either caused or was complicit in tge reason such aid was needed. Especially in South America, with all the coups and school of the Americas etc.

Nah, as I said I wasn't taking a side. I criticized the form of the comment, as it was unlikely to get the desired engagement. My complaint was the delivery method of the argument, not the argument itself.

I acknowledge and agree with plenty of arguments against the meat and slaughter industry, but the comment wasn't just downvoted because of a complaint about industry. I'm sure some did, but the comment itself just feels like many of the issues some scientists have with science communication, as well as some people with other types of debunking. The tone itself runs people off, to the point where the comment is kinda useless.

Just a personal option though; maybe it does work for some people. Also some personal bias; I prefer papers, sources, and the like over videos or documentaries. Partially because of how I am in general (I prefer tech docs over guide videos for work etc), and partially because I'm aware of many terrible documentaries that use production value to try and bamboozle people with lies.

I think that's actually what it was, then got made into a joke. I also forgot about the reverse werewolf, wolfman or whatever. He wanted to kill Jackie Chun(Master Roshi in disguise)because he blew up the moon(yes, same moon Picollo later blew up again. Kami put it back together after getting rid of Goku's tail). His real reason?

He's a wolfman who turns human during the full moon, and now he cant get a girlfriend. So they use Krillin's bald head to fake being the moon and he transforms... Into a human uglier than his wolf form. He's happy but Krillin comments he probably had a better chance as a wolfman.
