Here's my perspective, but it might be pretty wrong:

I think the reason for the low demand is due in large part to the pre-existing gas industry, at least in the US. Not just because of marketing advertising gas-powered more, but also because people don't like to change, and buying a new car is not cheap. Not to mention that the US infrastructure is so heavily solidified in gas. It's just easier to continue buying gas-powered because it's already so supported across the country. Then the industry benefits from this because they can say, "oh, huh, looks like people still want gas-powered! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" and so the cycle repeats.

I think a lot of people don't really understand how much power corporations really have over what the people do or don't do, like or don't like, etc.. 99% of the time people will take the easy option, and corps take advantage of that by making the easy option the cheapest and best for themselves instead of what's best for the people. Corporations only do what's right for them, and are masters of making it out to be that that's what the people want.

Let me see if I understand:

Blue and red vase don't like each other and are about to fight

Red vase smashes blue vase, killing him. Man in the background sees.

Man is sad about red vase smashing blue vase, red vase doesn't care.

Man tells red vase he is trash if he keeps smashing other vases and being hateful, he's going in the trash, red vase doesn't care.

Man tells red vase he loves him, red vase doesn't care.

Red vase tells man he hates him and the blue vase.

Man smashes red vase.

Man puts red vase in the trash. In the background there's a picture of red, blue, and yellow vase, and a big picture of red vase (going by shape).

Did I miss anything?

Do you feel like you're a worse person for learning about porn at such a young age? I also learned about porn around that age (2nd~4th grade) and I feel like it had no impact on my life whatsoever as an adult.

The funny part of the post is referring to "teaching crabs how to read" as "forbidden knowledge"

Halls of Torment

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

I still remember, back when Diablo 3 was doing a public technical test or something, a friend of mine and I were very excited to get in and give it a try. We took a look at the heroes, and I decided on male Monk while he selected female Barb. I named mine something random, I don't remember what, but my friend thought for only a moment before naming her "Snoo-snoo".

Later that day, we went to the D3 subreddit to see what people thought, and there was a post titled "The 10 commandments of Diablo 3" and one of them was "Thou shalt not name thy female barbarian " Snoo-snoo". We had a good laugh.

Technically any amount less is not as much

All good! "Fell" is the past tense of "fall". Aternatively in some cases you could say "did fall", though in modern English that's usually used as an affirmative to a question about the fallen status of the chocolate (e.g. [which is short for the Latin "exemplia gratia" , meaning "for example"], Question: "Did the chocolate fall?" Answer: "Yes, the chocolate did fall" or "Yes, it did fall").

There are actually other (irrelevant) meanings of the word "fell"; as an adjective in "a fell beast" for example, "fell" means "fierce, cruel, terrible, or dreadful"; or as a verb meaning "to knock, strike, shoot, or cut down; cause to fall" for example " to fell a moose" or "to fell a tree."

No no, that's magnitude and direction

Oh I don't like that at all

We really were climbing those apes pretty fast, someone had to slow us down

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazen_bull

"The brazen bull ... was an alleged torture and execution device designed in ancient Greece. ... The bull was said to be hollow and made entirely out of bronze with a door in one side. According to legends, the brazen bull was designed in the form and size of an actual bull and had an acoustic apparatus that converted screams into the sound of a bull. The condemned were locked inside the device, and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until the person inside was roasted to death.

"Stories allege after finishing construction on the execution device, Perilaus said to Phalaris: "His screams will come to you through the pipes as the tenderest, most pathetic, most melodious of bellowings." Perilaus believed he would receive a reward for his invention. Instead, Phalaris, who was disgusted by these words, ordered its horn sound system to be tested by Perilaus himself, tricking him into getting in the bull. When Perilaus entered, he was immediately locked in and the fire was set, so that Phalaris could hear the sound of his screams. Before Perilaus could die, Phalaris opened the door and took him away. After freeing him from the bull, Phalaris is then said to have taken Perilaus to the top of a hill and thrown him off, killing him. Phalaris himself is claimed to have been killed in the brazen bull when he was overthrown by Telemachus, the ancestor of Theron."

To the bone

This isn't an admittance, as that implies a fault. This is a statement of fact. Of course AI writing detectors don't work, any human can write in any style, and an AI can replicate any writing style.

I saw it as more of a statement on how producers/writers/whoever perceive their audiences. They think that just seeing Batman beat the shit out of a guy isn't exciting/engaging enough, but having him then say something "relatable" will evoke a positive response.

Imo Sekiro is harder. Eden Ring, while quite difficult at times, feels much more forgiving to me. Really I think there are only a handful of bosses in ER that really fucked me up.

That's how jfk really died

Or "How it feels"

I feel like there's been a gradual increase in people saying things like this ("would of" instead of "would've", "apart" instead of "a part", etc)

Everything I've known is crumbling around me

You're breaking the fourth tenet my friend, but I forgive you because I know you just want what you think is best for people.

Not everybody should be a vegan. There's plenty to gain from eating meats and vegetables, and humans evolved to be capable of eating both. Some day in the future I hope meat is replaced with either fully synthetic or lab -growth meats simply because I don't think any living creature should have to live the way food animals (I forget the word) do currently. But for now I will continue eating meat because I am just one man and meat is very tasty.
