When I did mine, it was my incredibly shitty short-term memory that did me in for the listening comprehension.

The most experienced and accomplished women in the world are condescended to and belittled by the most inconsequential men you've never heard of (and will never) on a daily basis.

Many scholars have connected this text with other things. But the connection I am going to make in this paper will shock you

These movements globally are at root a refusal to hear the word “no”. There can be no external restrictions. No planetary chemistry may interfere with profit, no law may block executive power. Thus the platform.

Normally we drink ‘a cup of tea’. It only turns into ‘a nice cup of tea’ following some exertion eg shopping or mild contretemps/disappointing news/ etc.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

In the older ones, I didn't like how a lot of the 'girl' cross-set armour combinations just meant you had nothing on in the waist/crotch, and not in a pretty way

Coming back to MH Rise, I still love how they stopped gender-locking armour. You now get two looks for each piece of armour, and so many fashion choices!

Dengeki Faminico Gamer surveyed ~2,900 readers about what games they'd "eternal sunshine" to forget, and enjoy like it's the first time. 🧠 We've covered 9/10 titles on this great list (but this editor does recommend 'em all!👍).

Nice! And if she played TTRPGs, she probably already understood what a game story needed in a practical sense.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
