An open pit at an elevation of 1.5km still means the bottom of the pit could be 1km higher than the place the ore is processed at

Depends on the scale of "going down". Many mines are in the mountains and the material has to be brought down to lower elevations. The mine entry may be lower than the nearest pass but still a lot higher than the destination of the ore.

"It looks like" Ah yes. The only fucking argument these "history" conspiracy types ever have. And it usually dont even "look like" the thing at all. Or only in one specific image from one specific angle

• Being offended by somebody "calling themselves straight" is stupid and fragile.

• Being "proud of being straight because somebody else is proud of being queer" is stupid and fragile.

• Being "content with being straight and wanting to label yourself as such in an environment where that makes sense" is reasonable.

I dont play the game so I dont know the context but I assume labeling yourself straight does not make sense in a fishing game and as such it is most likely about the second point

Yeah he came in with an agenda (block all legislation that could hurt his luxury car daddies). And he achieved all if that. Now his job is done and he gets to retire early.

That is stupid from both of them.

Dont tell your boss you dont expect to be there long.

Dont expect your workers to want to be there long unless you offer good options to advance and educate themselves. Especially for a help desk job... that's very often an entry job to get a foot into the IT door.

Great game, really nice visuals and nice (very trippy) soundtrack. I tried to be a "good" cult leader, trying to ressurect everybody that "died" (most got sacrificed before they could die of old age), but some people should stay dead. And mourning and sadness is just another reason to put everybody on shrooms again

Saw it as a teenager. Its edgy but I enjoyed watching it.

Until the prison/stigmata scene that completely broke the movies own rules. The whole fuking point is he goes back in time to change something and he is the only one who knows it. To everyone else that is just how the past has always been. But not in that scene! People actively see the world change due to him changing the past. (Oh and him mutilating himself as a kid changes nothing about his live except for the scars? He ends up in the same jailcell with the same cellmate 25 years later? Sure.) Even as a teenager i realised the gigantic plot hole.

With that scene its a 3/10 movie for me. But not because it is edgy.

"Evolutionary reason" does not necessarily mean that a feature is an advantage. Mutations are random and then positive or negative selective pressure act on them untill the mutation is either extinct or is adopted by the whole population. For features without selective pressure the same thing still happens it just takes longer and is basically random. So different populations of a species will always develop different features even when given the same environment.

So for most of the features you listed: yeah it just happened.

You didn't read the article did you? Its not about the inclusion of a character, but about how a specific scene with that character is handled. The author claims it is completely jarring, doesn't fit into the games setting and doesn't even use the games existing lore for transgender people but instead uses modern terminology.

I found the article to very informative and not at all "gamergatey".

Its points are:

• this is the scene
• it is bad
• here is exelent trans representation in a fantasy setting
• "its a BioWare self insert"
• this is how they could have handled it better
• the game is great, but now everybody will just talk about woke, so again the game is good

That is the "low tech"; works 100% of the time; will make your live easier in the future solution.

It takes longer than remounting but getting rid of a NTFS drive in a Linux only environment is a good move.

That is like saying a 12 year old should be able to be healed from being quadriplegic because they are still growing. Some medical conditions are for live (at our current medical knowledge) and it doesn't matter if they are "physical" or "mental".
