So was unlocking the taskbar and dragging it to the left side of the screen, now you literally can’t. Apparently you can modify it via registry but half the buttons stop working because it isn’t designed for that.

Crazy that that was what made me switch years ago…

You are lumping together sensory signals (feelings, sights, sounds) with the internal decision making of your brain (beliefs).

I think you are confused by the literal definition of belief, because as it is defined, a belief is anything you think is true, specially without literal proof. There’s tons of stuff we believe are true without certain proof: math, science, memory to a certain extent…

Let me explain, not everyone is a mathematician, not everyone is a scientist, especially an absolute expert in every field. What people usually do is they it trust in people that are experts and they believe that what those say is true because they have proven it to another collection of authorities, and we believe that what those authorities are trustworthy because X. There’s papers about it and I can looks them, but I and most people probably won’t because I decided to believe in their words. That core belief on science, on the fact that the science as we know it is correct (which is again dependant on the interpretation of the universe we currently hold being true which we don’t know…), is something people don’t offer recognise as a belief, but it is.

What you believe to be true will affect how you process what you see, what you hear, and how you ultimately act.

It’s important because it’s the deciding factor of almost every actions you consciously take.

Let me say that I’m not, in no way shape or form, saying belief in a religious tone. I’m using the literal definition of belief of the dictionary.

For reference because I won’t probably return to this comment, they way I see beliefs is similar to the philosopher Ortega y Gasset.

No he wouldn’t, his philosophical viewpoint is a belief in itself. So important to him that he revolved his life around it!

You are assuming that belief = religion, but that’s waaaay off. Belief is anything you don’t know of, and I would argue that there is extremely little we do know at any given point in time. Right now I believe that the window in my room is opened because I can’t see it, and even if I looked at it, I’m believing that my eyes aren’t defying my reasoning.

Belief is what defines us as individuals, every kind of assumptions we do, anything we try to remember, any intuition we have that’s based on experience aka memory, it’s all small figments of our belief system.

I really hope they do, or either allow Devs to publish games only on the good console. Having to release for the S if you want to release Xbox at all is a nightmare that needs to stop, it’s gonna get harder as time goes on.

You mentioned tons of fantasy subgenres, but the one I was singling out is sci-fi, which is not something classical fantasy fans are usually fans of.

If you put add SciFi into the bag and remove a huge part of the books, keeping only the bestsellers, no wonder the statistics are so different.

I’d say that it’s you who has skewed the comparison here.

A comment on your note of the story, MH has never really been about story, but it has always been about the cycle of life and the balance of the ecology or whatever. The fact that we murder entire populations of monsters nonstop has never been an issue in the +10 titles they have. Idk why people are so pissed about it now.

It’s true that the low-rank story is too railroaded, but once you are out of the long tutorial, the game does open up.

That’s the sentiment that allows these rich fucks to avoid paying taxes without big backlash. First focus on collecting, then on spending…

It’s more nuanced though. Here’s how rich people use charities to gain wealth:

Rich person has tons of money that would be taxed if bill Y passes. Rich person creates a charity and donated 20% of what they would had to pay to the IRS to the charity, with that money the charity uses half for good causes and half is given to X lobby company, which then lobbies politicians to avoid passing that bill.

In the end, the rich person saved 80% of what they would had to pay.

Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.

This is a very rough outline of how they do it, but the summary is that they use charities to donate to lobbies while skipping taxes on the donation itself.

Booooy, read about sandy hook, the infowars dude lost a lawsuit so big he had to apparently sell infowars, and the onion won the bid.

Then the dude tried to null the bid or something, and the comic happened.

Don’t clean afterwards, clean while cooking. There are a lot of moments while cooking where you wait until X, use those to clean and organise. If you do it right, the moment where you serve all that needs cleaning is the last pot.
