Yeah it’s not impressive but I think it’s stylized and it’s decent enough CG to get a pass. Pinocchio otoh, released not that long ago, that was difficult to look at.

Heh yeah that’d be convenient and absolutely an option, but maybe he didn’t live and work in the vicinity of the CEO. Going out of your way in uniform… Not sure that’d work out

Gurney is a master of his craft, I couldn’t blame you for liking his art. I like it too

Wow the only way I’d be part of the 1% then. No clue on what that is

It’s not just the form but the skill. I can’t dance the macarena to save my life, but when looking at her moves it’s unimpressive from a skill standpoint. Most people have seen more difficult, more coordinated, more agile moves pretty much anywhere on tv. It’s okay, but it’s not Olympics material. And then you hear the rumors that she got in because someone did her a favor, and that’s just unfair. There were other applicants more deserving of that opportunity, not to mention she’s making Australia look corrupt as fuck when it comes to judging their candidates.

Oh snap imagine if the shooter was actually a cop and it comes to light. I’d love to see how Lemmy reacts to that

I guess it’s about the health insurance company CEO that got shot and has Americans talking about nothing else online

At least you’re smiling

Them being hard to fake is a really good point, good thinking.

No no it wasn’t just a shiny metal. Silver and gold were (still are) noble metals, and that means they are more inert than other metals, and by inert I mean “it doesn’t rust or tarnish”. Silver sometimes tarnishes, but gold is very hard to tarnish.

And you may think, so what, big deal, it just saves time polishing metal. Right? No, if you ever ate from a brass or any other alloy metal cutlery/plates, you will remember the absolutely horrible bitter taste these metals have. You pretty much have to hard scrub and polish each piece daily to avoid getting that taste. Tarnished silver otoh, doesn’t taste as bad. So not only it takes longer to tarnish but even if it does it gets a pass. Bear in mind stainless steel and plastic weren’t really a thing back then, so you’d be stuck with metal or wood for cutlery.

But wait, there is more. Both silver and gold are particularly malleable and ductile; this means you can hammer them, beat them, bend them, and spin them into very thin threads and the metal won’t break as easily as other metals do. I’ve worked as a silversmith so I’ve experienced this first hand. Working brass into shape and adding ornamentation to it is very hard, you need to anneal it constantly and use more force. It cracks more easily while you work it too. Copper is slightly better, but silver is way ahead any of them, and gold is just like working butter. There is no comparison. Much easier, really good results. Also gold has a slightly higher melting point than silver, meaning it’s somewhat easier to solder.

All this makes gold and silver the only fitting choices for fine jewelry and luxury items such as silverware, trophies, embroidered clothing, etc. And these items signify wealth and status, so, obviously, this made gold and silver very valuable and useful back in the day.

I see I see. Awful. Thanks for all the answers

Haiii helloo I’m a bit OOTL and I don’t live in the States.

I hear this CFO got killed and that the health insurance company was exceptionally awful. But I don’t understand the time limit on anesthesia part. What time limits? What’s that about? Like “you only get anesthesia for the first day you’re hospitalized” time limits?

Not where I’ve lived, apologies for my ignorance

This was on purpose. C’mon. They’re cashing in people actually looking for similar hashtags

I’m more concerned about how the flavor is blue… raspberry for some reason, I guess berry wasn’t good enough… aaand it’s greenish?

I didn’t recognize it immediately. I haven’t watched it in a long time. It felt familiar though, and it all clicked as soon as I read “terminator 2”.

I love this concept of a creature/monster, is it canon in any lore or is it just a thing from this comic? I’ve never heard of it before

Many already said how people start dancing. I’ll add some things to keep in mind:

1- culture is a massive factor: nobody mentioned birthday parties. I’m going to presume kids don’t dance at birthday parties in English speaking countries, but elsewhere in the world you have birthdays and I’m going to guess other festivities in other cultures include dancing. That’s a major step before you are old enough to go clubbing. Freestyle in the case of birthdays, but you also need to keep in mind my next point,…

2- TV, Music videos, Videogames and whatever media in which people see these moves also helps people learn them. It’s not uncommon for a small group of friends trying out if they can do this Celebrity Move like in Such Video Clip or whatever and this can happen while they hang out anywhere, even during school breaks.

So yes, if you have the inclination for dancing you have plenty of opportunities to practice and learn as you grow.

Skyrim and Zelda obscure?

Also I’m not going to challenge the earnings of Clash of Clans, but, why is it the most influential?
