I like city building games and puzzles. I like other things as well, but that’s not important right now.

  • Nope, that makes perfect sense to me without which that or who.

    “Washington cats florida rats chase annoy vegas whores”

    1. The washington cats 2. Which florida rats chase 3. They annoy vegas whores

    It’s a question of where you put pauses and intonation, when sounding it out in your head (or to another person). If you read it monotone it makes little sense. Unfortunately, knowing how its said requires deciphering it first. A lot of english novels have stuff like this, you’ll probably find - you have to read sentences twice to understand what it means

  • Not an essential word if you the listener have context! It’s just that understanding this phrase is reliant on reader knowing context (i…e either that buffalo tend to buffalo buffalo OR just the theory/gimmick of the sentence itself.)

    Also i believe OP made some effort to indicate via Capitalisation that one repeated buffalo is a proper noun. (Place name)

    See: Buffalo(pl) buffalo(an) Buffalo(pl) buffalo(an) buffalo(vrb), buffalo(vrb) Buffalo(pl) buffalo(an)

    pl: place, an: animal, vrb: verb.

  • great post

    Let’s make a tierlist sbout how urgent it is for them to change:

    S:

    • Poland’s flag is supposedly derived from a white bird against a setting sun. To me it would make sense to include that imagery on the flag, or a historical coat of arms.
    • I think places like Syria, Egypt, Libya, Iraq need to agree on a different colour scheme for themselves. At the moment they’re confusingly similar
    • Russia’s current flsg i bslieve it’s literslly just copying the french and netherlands colours because Peter the Great was so inspired by them.
    The old fashioned, imperial russian flag was beautiful:

    But even better is with a crest:

    Which can be simplified for a stylish modern design (as i bekieve all credts should be when possible)

    Alternatively, a bear could look good on their flag:

    A:

    • Israel (changing flag after a hopeful regime change would be prudent because it’s like a symbol of genocide now.)

    B:

    • Luxembourg (too similar to Netherlands),
    • China (i find china’s flag really dull even if it is iconic. They surely want to invoke their historical longevity rather than just Communism. Stars represent the key chinese regions, which seems like a good feature - the red does not.)

    F:

    • I don’t think i’d change it, but Canada seems as/more close to britain than Australia so it makes more sense to give a little Union Jack in the top left corner.
  • I’m so sorry to hear that dude, and let’s take a moment to be celebrste the fact you’re still alive - because whether it’s dumb-luck or down to you taking good care of yourself, it’s still worth being joyous about.

    As for being failed by social welfare, you’re in good company because a lot of people on the fediverse are also struggling to thrive in modern “1st world” countries despite being smart and articulate people. Some have the same story as you. I think you will get a lot out of fediverse as a social media, i know i have and i’ve only been here ~ 7 months. It’s heakthy because it’s more like old fashioned forums. (Old fashioned in terms of the internet’s lifespan)

  • I’m in favour of leaving the prequels as they are, but it wouldn’t upset me if they remade any of the movies. As long as it’s an actual remake and not minute cgi changes or dumping CGI assets into the OT films (they did this).

    Like, Disney could have and probably should have just done animated versions of the original trilogy, seeing as they chose to rehash the general shell of the story and pass it off as a sequel trilogy. I would not have cared if they did that - i would have avoided watching just to save money but i think that would be the logical first step for disney, childrens’ animation producer, to do with Star Wars, beloved franchise, and it would have helped to draw in a new generation of fans.

    If they’d even rehashed the story a bit, e.g “fixed the prequels,” added more female protags in the OT, made it more sparkly and disney-esque, then that’s fine. Loads of Sci-Fi franchises have had reboots like that, and fans are capable of seperating original from new wave interpretation (Stargate and I think Star Trek are some examples of this.)
