I had tons of fun with Battleborn! It was a FPS hero shooter/MOBA hybrid with co-op modes and Borderlands style load-outs, skill tree and gear. Unfortunately never became very popular and they shut it down after desperately trying to revive it by changing its model. The only MOBA that ever clicked for me.

Sounds like Reddit is a better fit for you then.

Sarcasm can be conveyed non-verbally. Through facial expressions, gestures or situational context for example. The core concept is not bound to specific languages but to the social/cognitive ability of the communicators, I'd say. Young children have a very hard time with sarcasm, regardless of where they're born.

They absolutely do. Even within the same language, regional accents can have very different prosodies.
I recall reading a Nature article iirc about how neonatal cry melody can reflect prenatal exposure to parental language! How nuts is that!? Brains are cool.

~~truly~~ become more knowledgeable.

Newspaper articles and news media in general have biases and editors with agendas. One should read multiple reports and apply critical thinking imo.

Huh, like a more disastrous and direct combo-approach. I like it.

Seems like a lot of people replying need to work on their reading comprehension...

Use private trackers only. Public trackers are way easier to identify you on.
Disable DHT, PeX and Local Peer Discovery in your BitTorrent client. This will prevent you connecting to random public peers.
If you're just interested in movies/TV I recommend streaming sites with an adblocker. Just so much easier and safe enough. Find sites on fmhy.net

Otherwise Ebenezer Scrooge would have to spend that whole trip with the ghosts with his dick out.
