I hope the $20 doesn’t set you back too much! I think you’re gonna really like it though. I already have about 77 hours of playtime, and most of that was before the recent ship-customization updates. I know early-access is a contentious subject, but the developers have been pretty steady with updates.

I’m also a big fan of sailing games. Have you tried Sailwind?

It has before. We no longer see the Whig Party on the ballot. I’m also hoping we can do it again.

Sounds kinda hot to me. To spice things up, I’d want to hear all about it when we get back together.

E: Kink shamers, the lot of you! I’d rather be with an experienced lady over someone who’s only been with me.

“Am I doing this right?”

No. You are inversing every statement that follows your questions. Why would we outlaw boats if they are safer than cars as you claim? Did you instead mean to say cars are safer than boats or ask why we haven’t outlawed cars? Rinse and repeat for the other pairings.

E: You do realize you’re saying the exact opposite thing than the person you’re trying to mock, right?

Why do you claim that is unidirectional? Why not:

“There are two viable candidates, Biden and Trump. Taking votes away from Trump only helps Biden. So not voting, voting Stein, Kennedy, West, all of that only helps Biden.”

E: I only inversed this claim to highlight how ridiculous it sounds. I don’t believe either statement is true. Do you truely not believe that someone would be deciding between Trump and Kennedy, without any consideration for Biden?

I’m listening to the bathroom fan whirl while I take my post-coffee dump.

In response to your edit: I’m just downvoting the massive wall of blue text and moving on. It’s an eyesore and I’m not going to bother staring at it. I think this would be more effective with a link or links at the end, following plain text.

I’ve never heard it before. It sounds like something people would only use on social media and not in the real world. I’m glad Lemmy is the extent of my social media exposure.

Did anyone actually know what this acronym was supposed to mean without checking the article?

If by common knowledge, you mean that a significant portion of the population believes it, I’m not sure how reliable that evidence that is. People will believe a whole lot of strange stuff.

On topic, even the first paragraph of the Wikipedia page states that it was “popularized by cooks from India living in Great Britain”. Regardless of where it was first created, this is clearly the product of Indian immigrants. I don’t believe their heritage should be ignored just because they moved. Although, I don’t want it to sound like I believe in a 100% black and white distinction here. It’s clearly a fusion dish with British influences. The original chicken tikka was a lot dryer and the “masala” sauce was added to make the dish creamier to appeal to British tastes.

However, I don’t go around claiming General Tso’s chicken isn’t Chinese food, just because it was first made in New York; or that the chimichanga isn’t Mexican food, just because it was originally made in Arizona; or that a Cuban sandwich isn’t Cuban, just because it was first made in Florida. These dishes wouldn’t exist without the immigrants who modified their cultural recipes to adapt to a new environment.

To me, chicken tikka malala is an Indian dish with British influences.

E: Tao to Tso.

Gang rape is democracy in action.

Indian food?

No funny allowed.

Dude, it was a joke.

Yeah, this does not align with my experience.

Firstly, I don’t have an obsession with revolvers; it’s just that you responded to a conversation specifically about design changes in revolvers that mitigated the need to carry on empty cylinder.

Secondly, this is another example of a limited QA issue that has since been corrected with a recall. It doesn’t seem to indicate that a modern revolver with properly functioning parts would be dangerous to carry with all cylinders loaded. Otherwise, are you to say all airbags are dangerous just because of the Takata/Honda issue that killed some people when the airbags exploded?

Since these are not revolvers, they don’t add to the point of carrying on an empty cylinder.

Outside of the revolver discussion, it’s important to note that both of these examples were the result of QA issues that have since been corrected.
