Only on expensives items or antiques. I don’t like it, but it seems to be expected on marketplace. I’m so used to people haggling I post everything 25% higher than the amount I actually want or expect.

That being said, I always think it’s funny when someone posts obo on their item. If the price is 700 obo, why the hell would I offer you 700?

Amother organism or person needs to be predictable to be trusted.someone or something acting in an unpredictable manner means it may suddenly decide you’re a threat. We evolved in a world before science and medicine, where any injury could mean death. Even the most unstoppable animals, bears, elephants, moose, will bluff charge a threat rather than immediately attack, because fighting risks injury, regardless of how unbalanced the fight is. I can’t win a fight against any of those animals, but I can bite it while it’s killing me. A full thickness bite wound is all but guaranteed to cause an infection, which may kill or disable.

Humans are also social creatures, and we run on cultural norms that make it easier to trust that the person next to you in a restaurant won’t suddenly stab you, even though he is holding a knife.

A major cultural difference can make others seem dangerous in a primal way. We know through interaction that other cultures are not more dangerous, but that primal unease of being surrounded by people from a different tribe is still in there somewhere.

In my opinion, this is why racism is so hard to root out. A lot of it is taught by others, but it’s not a negligible amount tied to fear of anything different.

By my father’s sardines, what a savings

It’s burnout. They see the headlines everyday, and the flowers just don’t seem as bright as they used to.

A response would be defensive action. This is specified as OFFENSIVE action, which we shouldn’t be taking unless we are at war.

Wait, why were we taking offensive actions?

Far cry 5 gives the opposite experience. You get railroaded into missions, but can do whatever you want to during them.

While getting pushed into missions is a bit irritating, the open gameplay and drop in co op made it one of the most fun games out there. Finding ways to break missions with my friends turned into the real objective of the game.

One portion, you have to scale a mountain while dodging sniper fire to kill a cult leader at the top, and I spent 15 minutes slowly making my way up to him. As I finally get to the top, before I could make the kill, a friend dropped in and crashed a fighter jet into him, completing the mission.

I see this opinion fairly often, and it honestly confused me. My rig is not a showcase by any means, and I had no issues with sh2 or dead space.

I’m thinking more people need to optimize their OS.

I find the opposite is true gender swapped. Nothing makes a girl more attractive to me than playing bass.

Death from above 1979

Tyler’s new album title

Giant isopods have been filmed swarming sharks to impede their movement and gill function when the local detritus is lacking nutrients.

Did you just assume my phyla?

Depends on the definition of bug. Entemological true bugs are a very specific class of insects, but the term bug was used to describe any arthropod for significantly longer than proper taxonomy has been around.

So if you’re a biologist, no, if you’re an anthropologist, yes.

Someone covered in brine shrimp would be more likely to feel covered in bugs than covered in marine crustaceans though.

The taxonomy puts us right about the same, splitting after phylum. That being said, a shrimp looks a hell of a lot more like a silverfish than I do like a carp.

Well, depending on my general state of health.

A second hand drum kit will be more reliable than a second hand power washer, so you could get a washer with gift cards and then look for a good deal on a drum kit.

That being said, playing drums makes you more fun and interesting. Having a power washer makes you more likely to be asked to clean things.

I have no experience with it and can’t claim to know, but the privacy advocate in me tells me it can use everything because it wants access to everything so it can datamine from every app at once.

Again, I don’t know this specific app, but literally every other non Foss app is just a front for granted permissions.

Language is always evolving, and for a term as long standing as pet, with such wide use, it’s no longer an incorrect use of the word. Pet as a past participle aligns with the use of similar words like bet and set, and on a cultural basis petted sounds like the way a little kid speaks.

If I recall correctly, only one of the heads likes to be pet. Don’t lose a hand.

A good point, but I do like the observation that the only problems Nissan has are with the two most important parts of a vehicle.

This is some pretty good spaghetti, just the noodles and sauce are trash.
