It feels kinda like how comic books bold words for emphasis, and just about as randomly applied

No worries! For all of the manifold problems of google, its reverse image search tool is really useful. That helped me find the original image

While I agree with you that I don’t think OP has correctly described what they’re actually thinking about, there is plenty of sex work that doesn’t involve actually having physical sex with anyone. Like a solo porn model, or erotic dancers

It seems like you mean a post-scarcity society rather than a currencyless one. Sex work done to earn a living is still done to earn a living if it’s in a society that distributes goods and services in another way. I’d hope that the sex worker in question is getting personal fulfilment from it, but unless their basic needs are covered regardless then it seems foolishly optimistic to assume that it’s the case

Not sure about that comment, since those pools really are at Sliema in Malta https://www.google.com/maps/place/Roman+baths/@35.9165797,14.5036778,73m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x130e453d17183bff:0x2f6d720c7897d7de!2sFond+Għadir+Beach!8m2!3d35.9155994!4d14.5047453!16s%2Fg%2F11c0r4z3k8!3m5!1s0x130e453d997aaaab:0x2aaf0dc1de0d774e!8m2!3d35.9165157!4d14.5038595!16s%2Fg%2F11sskr6_j9?entry=ttu

But according to the local council’s facebook page when it shared this photo (they didn’t take the photo), they were built during the British period https://www.facebook.com/story.php/?story_fbid=878845397617697&id=100064767334211&paipv=0&eav=AfYRGKX34jrDJ5AuxuFU5SHiG8WiLpg42yMEYXZDkFKFtbbZPeS2GXwntwik1u1PZkc&_rdr

I do love a coffee, but try to limit my intake for caffeine reasons. The flavour is lovely. I’ve got a few different ways of brewing it at home, but a cafetiere is probably my go-to. I will admit to being quite partial to a mug of milky decaf instant coffee in the evenings too, but that feels… a bit disconnected from coffee proper.

I am a total failure as a Brit in that I do not actually like black tea. Green tea, mint tea, mint green tea, and yerba mate are all great though. The black tea is in my cupboards solely for guests only

I don’t know where you’re from so you might be familiar with this anyway, but this is actually really popular at football matches in the UK. It’s made with bovril rather than a stock cube, but the idea is the same

Macron’s first and second presidential elections were second round left-centre team ups, right? Is there a reason to think it wouldn’t happen this time?

Echoes of the Eye does at least give you a sort of second playthrough

I think Tunic is probably the closest feeling to Outer Wilds I’ve gotten so far. The moment-to-moment gameplay is quite different, but the broad scale feels close

yes, if I could do maths

strings are in base two, got it

They are actually there in the report… but barely. They’re much lighter than every other border. It doesn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere so I assume it was just a mistake

This is obivously not the actual point of the map, but why have a bunch of countries in Central Africa merged? It looks like Angola, both Congos, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea

Anglicisation of golpista, I assume

Damn Antarctic elites

How does supporting this limit anyone’s ability to vote in November?

We thought we were the ones domesticating grass when we invented agriculture, but the grass isn’t the one that changed how it lives

The process of making it involves cooking limestone until the carbon dioxide comes out, basically. Limestone is CaCO3 (one calcium, one carbon, three oxygen). Cement requires lime, which is CaO (one calcium, one oxygen). That leaves a C and two O, which stick together on the way out

Pluto being too small isn’t actually the grounds on which it got demoted. The size requirement is just being massive enough to reach hydrostatic equilibrium - that is, be heavy enough that it’s round. Pluto does meet this one

The one it fails is clearing its orbit. This basically means being much heavier than everything else in the same orbit. Be gravitationally in charge of your orbit. The other eight are all hundreds if not thousands of times heavier than everything else in their orbit (not including moons, since they’re gravitationally bound to the planet anyway), whereas Pluto is less than a tenth of the total mass in its own orbit. Ceres is actually more gravitationally dominant over its orbit than that, although still nowhere near the eight planets.

This one sounds a bit weird at first, but I kinda like how it has such a massive delineation between the things we instinctively think of as planets and everything else.

Never mind the depths I was already on edge when I met the fucking crashfish
