Jian is just mandarin for sword, you can just say Chinese sword. You wouldn’t say the French Sabre saber.

I did not want to know about the media coverage.

Testimony under oath is evidence. Federal rules of evidence article VI. If a court finds it credible (as the court did here), it is evidence. Not being familiar with the law is no excuse to spread incorrect information about whether or not the former president is a rapist.

Say it with me - there is substantiated evidence that Donald Trump is a rapist.

I did not say or infer that. I’m only responding to the “no rape kit = no rape” statement. No perspective on media coverage or fitness for presidency is intended to be inferred.

I don’t have a problem with their estimation of the odds of winning an election. I have a problem with them dismissing any insinuation that the proven rapist is a proven rapist unless and until they see a rape kit or a video of a rape. That is some pre-Me Too, but what was she wearing, ignorant ass rapist apologist garbage and I won’t not call it out. Trump is a rapist. There is evidence. Judges and Juries of the United States have decided this, even without having to rely on a video or rape kit!

Grand jury testimony is taken under oath. If testimony taken under oath in a court of law isn’t tangible evidence to you then you’re an idiot and part of the “both sides” problem. These people are actively dismantling our constitution and this idiot over here is pounding the table for a rape kit for a rape that took place on a private island years ago.

No tangible evidence?? Have you read the transcripts and other documents that have been released on Epstein? Have you read the complaint for the rape allegations? Have you seen the interview where Trump says he would unseal 9/11 classified documents but not files on Epstein? Have you seen the interviews where Trump denies knowing Epstein, and the many pictures of Trump with Epstein throughout the years? Have you seen the interview where Trump says he liked to walk into the dressing room of minors at the beauty pageant he owned so he could see them naked? Have you seen the interview with Trump where he says that when you are famous, you can just grab women by the pussy and nobody can stop you? Have you listened to the interview with Trump and Howard Stern where Trump agrees that his daughter, 30 years younger than him, is voluptuous and beautiful and a piece of ass? Any of that build any credible picture of any particular pattern of behavior for you?

In my book, getting to that point without a plan to meet is a failed interaction. No one wants to text all day. It’s the small talk we do to get to the point where we meet people we’re interested in. It’s a tryout to make sure you’re not a weirdo or jackass. So do a little ice breaker, discuss two to three topics, then suggest exchanging phone numbers so you can meet up sometime. No one wants to text for three days straight. They’re waiting for you to ask for their number.

Is this news though?

Clickbait-ass title, nothing burger-ass article.

Your desk is stressing me out from across the Internet.

Does it matter? Have you tried running it with the mandarin characters? Is something not working?

I can tell by this comment why people don’t answer when you call them.

If only Clinton could have had muted mics against Captain Gibberish.

It also serves as a bike ramp. The Confederate soldiers were well known for their love of BMX tricks.

Durham or chapel Hill? We got lots of libs over here.

Yup, it’s because you’re getting better at the game. Haz 5 is the only interesting way to play for me now. 4 is a boring cakewalk.

I had the same thought. The top part is filling up faster than it’s emptying out… At some point it’s going to be too full. Was that point like 100 years ago?

I don’t think “house poor” is the correct term for people renting. House poor means you spend too much on home ownership. These people don’t have too many of their assets tied up in their home, they’re just dealing with very high rental prices. “Getting fucked by the housing crisis” is probably a more apt term of art for this scenario than house poor.

Appreciate that dwarf fortress is an 18 year old game. They first released it in 2006 and even then the interface was clunky and never a priority. It is a dwarf simulation engine first and an interactive game second.

RimWorld owes its existence to Dwarf Fortress the way Halo owes its existence to Doom, or World of Warcraft owes its existence to RuneScape. Dwarf Fortress is the precursor for all games like RimWorld. So comparing their interfaces will always set Dwarf Fortress up to lose, just like if you compared the controls in Halo against the original Doom. I think you have to approach Dwarf Fortress more like playing a piece of gaming history, and a look into the world of a very interesting human, Tarn Adams, rather than a modern game competing against modern titles.
