I’d assume they’re just doing the rounds with drug sniffer dogs. Those dogs have crazy sensitivity.

If you’re traveling somewhere with extremely restrictive drug laws (e.g. Singapore), you can be sentenced to prison for drug particles on your shoes. i.e. you can accidentally have forbidden substances on you.

Sounds more like Monopoly: Social Democracy edition to me. Though either way, you’d need to add a tax for the rich to explain the $300.

oof.

I had to stop consuming caffeine for health reasons (exacerbates my digestive issues). I found that it actually makes a fairly big difference, depression tends to sap your energy and caffeine counteracts that somewhat.

Vivec?

Don’t most people have Whatsapp? It’s certainly harder to spy on the content of your messages, it’s just a matter of how much issue you have with giving Meta your metadata.

It’s true for pretty much anyone who is actually worth pillaging.

IMO, the weird part is taking your glasses off in the first place, especially when you apparently need them for desk work. It’s not like they’re coming in from outside or were taking a shower, they were clearly already sitting at the desk in working position.

My glasses don’t have a frame, but there’s no chance that they’ll break from holding them from the sides of the glasses. Though it does increase the risk of smudging them.

Really depends on the teacher. The ones who are dicks about it are way too common.

They understand alright, they’re just often intent on perpetuating it.

Fuck it, let’s do Gojira again.

That’s just one internet rando.

Who are these people?

“easier to use” shouldn’t really matter for Particularly-Good-At-Archery-Man. It’s not like a bow is a particularly slow weapon, either (medieval archers were probably doing about 10 shots per minute), and you don’t really need the additional power of crossbows - medieval war bows were able to kill armored knights, they were pretty much only limited by the archer’s strength. Whether you need high power pretty much depends on the setting - if you’re mostly fighting against human thugs who maybe wear a protective vest you don’t need extremely high draw strength. If the setting is more fantastical, why WOULDN’T “particularly good at archery” include absurdly strong muscles that make the additional power of crossbows unnecessary?

The biggest advantage of bows in a gun setting would be stealth, can’t shoot what you don’t know is there. Makes the superhero stuff a bit difficult, though.

I’m fairly certain that most antilope-type animals have quite pronounced sexual dimporphism (e.g. in several species, the females don’t have horns at all). Male giraffes are also quite a bit larger than female giraffes, though that could be explained away by the male being younger.

and even Microsoft

(x) doubt

They had decades to consider Microsoft a liability. Why start doing something about it now?
