Makeup. Seriously. Eyeshadow, lipstick, blush... It makes your face look like it's not yours. It's not the face I'd be waking up next to if I married you.

You can rush 30 magic at the Burthorpe troll cave pretty easily. Then, I got 60+ magic with slayer.

There is no religion without fanatical religion.

It's cults all the way down!

There is always going to be stigma around sex work. It's a logical extension of the instincts our genes give us.

We're a species based around intensive care of kids. We don't just lay a thousand eggs and die like insects do. Infants need years of care to become anywhere near capable of surviving on their own. We evolved like that. Anything that gets in the way of that will be met with a visceral negative reaction, simply because that's the way we evolved to be.

Women have significantly more investment in raising children than men. They carry the child in their stomachs for nine months. They breastfeed the kid for another year - sometimes less, but sometimes even longer. It's harder to support a kid if you don't have help, thus, to give a greater chance of survival, we evolved in such a way that women try to make sure they have help raising their kids.

Men need to pass on their genes. This is an evolutionary imperative. Ideally, evolutionarily speaking, a man will go around raping and try to have as many kids as he can - this happened a lot in several now-dead ancient cultures. The man does not care nearly as much about having to support the children; the children exist, his genes are passed on already. This societal model inevitably collapses once women start consistently failing to get the support they need.

One balance between the female and male imperatives is a monogamous relationship. Gibbons mate for life. Other balances involve polygamous or polygynous relationships - chimps and gorillas, respectively. However, monogamous relationships inherently cause less social strife, which is why the practice happens relatively more often in the modern world.

Sex work will never be gotten rid of; it is described as 'the oldest profession' for a reason. However, by the same token, it is absurdly unlikely that it will ever become unstigmatized.

Eh, not quite. "The vaccine consists of RNA that your cells use to make proteins that stimulate an immune reaction. The RNA gets digested into individual amino acids after this. It never gets into the nucleus. It does not change your DNA."

Hollow Knight. That first playthrough, I was terrified of delving too deep because of that dialogue that Elder Bug had, about the madness. I was sure I was going to get attacked by horrific monsters at some point. Kind of forgot about that... at least, until I got to Deepnest.

I thought you weren't supposed to use the name of the game in your post :P

Ok so you need the contract in inventory, you should have 2 or 3 candles and fine cloth, 2 steel bars from the odd sink, 2 mithril bars (replace these with adamant when you get 70 construction for mahogany), (EDIT) your stack of nails, then the rest teak planks. For this setup to work without running to bank in the middle of a task, you need the plank box. With the default plank box (and not the first upgrade), you only need to bank in the middle of a contract once in a blue moon.

I did a thing where, between contracts, I banked at War's Retreat, withdrew all teak logs, used archaeology journal to teleport to the Infernal Source digsite which is really close to the sawmill to make new teak planks, banked again at Infernal Source bank chest to withdraw contract inventory described above, then used Varrock agent to get the new contract.

Ask her if she believes in climate change, since only a few percent of 'scientists' say it isn't happening.

"soulobby".

Honestly, level 30 until 65 magic is best done with slayer. Do a few days of Menaphos scarabs so you can get better slayer masters earlier, too; you'll get a whole bunch of gold from it.

I believe that, in the story, the wolf tried to go down the brick house's chimney, but brick pig saw him coming and lit a fire in the fireplace. So, there's a chance...

The irony being that, on average, Covid will kill more Republicans than Democrats due to the Rs' stupid anti-mask and anti-vax policies.

Maybe 1 out of every 100 politicians are decent. We like them when we see them, but what we don't see is the hundreds of other parasites.

So I hear we can only pass a few bills through reconciliation. Is there any way we can't just fold multiple bills into one? Merge this bill with the 6tn infrastructure bill into a $12T "Health and Safety" bill, and then reconcile that?

Republicans condoned the Jan 6 riot. They aren't participating in the same democratic process we are. So why should we give a flying fuck about them?

Advocate for ranked-choice voting instead of first-past-the-post.

Yep. You need 10 smithing to make the iron bar now, and 10 mining to get the ore.

All your xp reward lamps should be going into Herblore.

Neural networks, more or less from the ground up. Most of my examples will be image processing, but meh.

An Elite Dungeon is a new thing, a combat challenge with three bosses that up to three people can group up to beat. There are three different dungeons, this bug concerns the third one, the final boss of which drops the components for the best 2h crossbow currently in the game.

Usually, you'd have to go through the whole dungeon before fighting the final boss, the Ambassador, but there was a bug that let you skip the first two bosses. So, people were just fighting the Ambassador for crossbow parts over and over again. Some of them gained 20b from the drops, some of them gained 100b...

And Jagex gave the bug abusers 2 week bans. Smh. Permabans or GTFO.

One of the first things I did on my ironman was rush 90 runecrafting through runespan to unlock ports. It's been a little less than two months and I'm only barely up to jade. Unlock it early!!!

Again... the Republicans project. What America should be worried about are radical conservatives, like the ones who assaulted the Capitol. And so, they shout about radical socialists, as if all you need to make them poof into existence is to shout about it...

Yeah, most colleges have counselors. And then you go to the department and get told there's a 3 month waiting list.

Like, why bother???
