Is it because people always use the analogy of the new technology that is redefining their lived period to explain the world, which some people take too far?
Consider watchmaker/clockwork, print media, telegraphs, and aviation and space travel.
If your analogy is based on consumption it makes no sense.
Meanwhile, I could drop eat from mine response and the point stands with a dry place to sit.
It’s an advantage for the people who get a place to sit and eat.
And an advantage for the people who work in that restaurant if they’re ever tired or out when it starts to rain that that they can rest or shelter in any other restaurants near by.
Sadly, they see that as the golden age.
There are some, perhaps somewhat unorthodox, Christian theologies that hold that the Old Testament stuff and what was allowed to happen as more of the planning and scheming of God to reach the desired end goal. Including temporarily limiting itself to order to get there.
If we’re taking God’s word for it all, then what is now was the preordained outcome of that chess master’s plan.
For all we know a biblically accurate God is doing Xanatos Speed Chess to ensure that the current state of the world is the one true outcome regardless of what happens.
Besides, as we all know from science - there are a lot of different ways to end up with the same end result.
I find it sad that the fact that the protests of 89 were nation wide, and involved worker groups and farmers as well as students.
IIRC the last protest hold out was in South West China and wasn’t quashed until the 5th.
The Tiananmen group was forced out and gunned down on the roads off of the square in the 3rd-4th night.
He’s the best example of how a neutral evil guy can get along with the heroes’ party.
As someone who uses a Xiaomi phone, that’s not true.
It was a faff getting it to install any random apk I found of off the Internet, but it was possible. Did involve holding down a graphic for 10 seconds as part of the unlock procedure.
But for now at least, you can still install any unsigned apk without going through a store.
Chinese version of YouTube (bilibili (B站)) has built in sleep timer functionality.
That beats the hell out of the adverts and autoplay rubbish YouTube subjects people not using Invidious or Piped to.
Daily Mail are the sort who think adopting the metric system let all the foreigners into Britain and led to the downfall of empire. Probably in that order.
In the UK we also had a song thing for the first 12 times tables, but I was never good at rhythmic recall as a kid so I always had some issues with 7 and 8 times tables.
Was pretty good at all the rest by the start of Year 3, though.
Tadpoles are fish too, right?
And they even have gills.
“Fish” isn’t a real type of animal, it’s a term of convenience for similar looking/acting things that humans have lumped together.
Its taking that back to the medieval level of “whales are fish”… Which ignores that key difference of them breathing air and not having gills.
Is it?
Admittedly we don’t know loads about but Mohen Darjo and early Uruk look pretty good, and some Mayan cities and American Indian nations seem like they had very good standards of life pre-Europeans too.
No red eye in photos!
I’d settle for Eric’s recut of the prequels.
Or acid. Everyone always forgets acid.
(and the rules always forget bases. I assume, not read them in an edition and a half.)
I think, if I understand US law correctly, not a legal choice to publically traded companies.
Don’t know (m)any Europeans then?
