They’re fast and efficient, by putting the heating element right up against the water, and also safe thanks to shutting off automatically. Great shit!

Having two different configurations of assets requires making a system that can switch between them, separate deployments for them, some way to actually fetch the asset pack by the users, testing to make sure both configurations work correctly, actually deploying the separate asset pack during an update, and then spending time fixing bugs that inevitably come up with any added complexity.

Could they do it? Absolutely. Should they do it? Probably.

Would there be no downside, no tradeoff? Claiming so is plainly ridiculous.

Looking at wiktionary, apparently the two words have completely separate etymologies - but “pal” is borrowed from “brother” in one language, while “gal” is borrowed from “girl” in a different language (which itself derived it from English, I think?)

Language can be funky

Isn’t “pal” masculine, with “gal” being the feminine version?

I can tell you that the attitude in Poland is along the lines of “we had a defensive pact, but when we actually got attacked, France just refused to come and help, then promptly surrendered”.

I rather like the sound of “a woman by choice”, since it implies she is a woman, that it is a choice, and that the choice does apply. I’d be curious to hear opinions from trans people about that, but it seems very respectful.

I think your point might also apply the other way - people are also encouraged to make exaggerated, incendiary comments for attention. Mild, reasonable takes, especially not posted quickly, will usually be overshadowed by the more extreme top comments. I believe the poster in question defended themselves claiming it was just an exaggeration.

I’m pretty sure even if that was the case, the word was hijacked by bigots to insult anything they disagree with.

The implication of the meme is that the people talking about how stupid the protests are are actually blind to the very real climate change happening. They might know about it, but they don’t really comprehend that defacing the Stonehenge is nothing compared to it being completely underwater, alongside the whole area.

Whether the comic is right or wrong is another thing, and the other guy arguing in bad faith is a cunt, but I strongly believe that’s what the comic is meant to portray.

I imagine you might say that 10 has two digits, so it has to be bigger. Or maybe you can list out the first 10 numbers in order.

Something being free to download doesn’t help if the paid software is so ingrained into culture, both popular and professional, that it practically has a monopoly. If you want to get work as an artist working with other people, you’ll want to learn the industry standard, not a niche program.

That’s all aside from whether gimp actually is or isn’t better, I just think the argument make no sense.
