I believe 皮肉 means “skin of the meat”, or in other words, superficial. What’s being said is not necrssarily the intent of the words. Or, in other words, sarcasm.

Glad you like it! It’s got a lot of humor, and I really like the music. As the other comment said, you can always get the DS version, made before this DRM existed. There are also parts of the game that work better with the dual screen/touch screen setup, as that’s what the game was designed for.

A shame you haven’t heard of Ghost Trick actually! It’s a fun puzzle game about a guy trying to solve his own murder, as he’s a ghost who’s forgotten who he is. You have to set up rube goldberg machines to prevent other people from dying, that may or may not be related to your death.

Also a shame that it has DRM.

iirc 999 smells like peanut butter, so it might taste like it too. Eating it might be hard though, I think it’s one of those hard to kill types.

So, a dryad…?

Sure, that’s sort of what I said.

People can put whatevet they want on their vehicle, that’s none of my business. That said, I’d be too afraid that having something like this would incentivize some asshole to vandalize my car.

The shells may not have inherently sharp edges, but if they’re big enough to fit over your ears, and weren’t caged in some convoluted way, if you rolled over and broke them, then you might have some sharp problems.

I can for this example yes, but those were sort of rhetorical questions about how polls like this are presented in general. I suppose the linked article is more clear than the title of this post is. “49% of Americans believe,” No, 49% of people who voted on this NY Times poll believe this. I know, it’s impossible to actually get every American to weigh in on this poll, I’m just saying I don’t like statistics like this because to me they don’t mean anything other than a 1000 or so people feel this way.

Who conducts these polls? How many people were polled? 100? 1000? I always see “Americans say this” or “People believe that”, but I certainly never voted on any poll, no one I know has. It always makes me feel like the polling base is going to be biased or carefully selected in some way to achieve the desired percentages.

I doubt that lad accepts any unit other than whole.

Do people refer to individual units of lasagna as “slices”? Admittedly I’ve never thought of how to refer to one other than as a plate of lasagna, but I’ve never heard anyone else use slice, like you would a cake.

Please don’t leave us behind. Maybe we can cut a deal and cut the state in half?

I also had to read it half a dozen times before I realized it wasn’t my reading comprehension that was the problem. “What’s something people believe was good for its time, that was actually terrible, even back then?” is maybe a more coherent version.

I’m not sure I have a decent example I can think of though.

You’re not the only one that needs a wash around here

The fundamental problem with questions like these is that people are inclined to upvote morals they agree with, and downvote the ones they don’t like, instead of upvoting answers that fit the question of unpopular. I don’t know that there’s much to be done about that though.

That’s true I suppose. I may be overly cynical (and clinical) when it comes to such things, I think that stems from the extremely stifling household I grew up in, where my parents wanted me to be religious, wanted everyone to know I was religious, and wanted me to let everyone know I was religious, as if I was a lucky one to find salvation. At some point the browbeating wore off, and I realized whatever opinions and beliefs I held didn’t make me more or less than anyone else, and that no one else’s would make them any more or less than the average human to me. (So long as their opinions and beliefs don’t bring harm to others, that is.)

I actually have a friend like that as well. We played a lot of games and participated in roleplay communities together. I didn’t even know she was trans until one of her friends brought it up for some reason. My reaction was just kind, “Oh, neat, anyway.”

I have a different friend who I knew before her transition who is a lot more vocal about such a thing, and while I do respect her decisions she definitely wears it as a badge of honor. A few months ago we were playing Minecraft with some of her friends, and I didn’t know any of them.

One of them (to me) had a feminine name and a feminine voice, so when I was talking to my friend, I asked “Hey where did Zoey (example name) go? I need to give her some iron.” And my friend immediately cut me off to correct me that he was a he, and that he was trans, with a very angry tone to her voice. I understand misgendering may be a problem… but how was I supposed to know? We’re faceless voices across the internet, I know referring to everyone as they/them is ‘safer’, but that’s a little ridiculous to me (Especially because I’ve met some people who -don’t- want to be referred to with gender neutral pronouns)

I know that might sound hypocritical, that I don’t think people should introduce themselves as trans or anything else, and that I shouldn’t be villified for making an innocent misassumption. Having my cake and eating it too.

I would assume the goal of transitioning is for people to believe you are what you say you are, without the label of trans. I’d never have guessed that my rp friend was trans, and similarly if my friend had not told me their friend was trans, I would have just assumed he was a feminine guy, and not a trans man.

Well I’m not really arguing against anything, the question was what moral do I hold that I don’t think most people agree with.

By the same argument, there shouldn’t be a straight community

Yes, that’s basically what I said. I would prefer we live in a world where sexual orientation is no more prevalent a feature to define someone than their hair color. I wish there didn’t need to be laws for or against gay marriage, or rights for specific types of people over others. But this is reality and not a hopeful fantasy, so again I understand the the need for the LGBTQ community, and laws to protect and represent the people part of it. But at the same time, I personally don’t think anyone should be celebrated (or mocked) for being part of it.
