So in rope manufacturing they have the “average breaking force” and the “safe working load” the ABF is the amount of force it takes to break a rope on average whereas the SWL is what it sounds like and is what the rope is rated to hold safely. The ABF is usually 2-10 times the weight of the SWL depending on the material but that’s because there’s a huge amount of variance in how much force different ropes that were manufactured in the same way take to break. If the ABF is 10 times the SWL, that means there were likely ropes that broke at twice the ABF. My hypothesis is that you got one of these ‘top tier ropes’ as your cable, so to speak.

Because it is.

I imagine the at least some portion of the criticism comes from irritated leftists as well. Harriet Tubman is basically a civ leader chosen to pander to and resonate with a certain US-centric audience, but it should be noted the lack of representation of actual African civilizations as compared to a continent like Europe. Here’s a couple maps to show what I mean:

It’s inherent imperialism and pandering that the same western countries are given so much love when there are so many really cool civs out there that haven’t been explored at all. Not to mention the fact that the majority of the African civilizations and city states that have made it into the game are centered (unsurprisingly) around the Mediterranean sea.

It doesn’t have to be. It’s the very nature of their instance that they remove voices that they disagree with, causing them to completely get their ideas from an echo chamber of people that they already agree with, causing the ‘critical thinking muscles’ of the brain to go out of use.

If you’re ever driving thru a rural area, try the fast food there. It tends to be a lot better as it’s in pretty direct competition to family owned restaurants in these areas and therefore tends to be fresher and stuff. Like near my grandpa’s farm the best breakfast around is the IHOP and its the best IHOP I’ve ever been to in my life by far because it has to compete with mom and pops diners at similar price points whereas in more populated areas the mom and pops places tend to be more expensive than fast food.

I mean sure. That one uses fewer words. If you’re a non native speaker, both are correct with the right placement in the sentence and removal of other words.

Less than as smart as*

“It’s okay that it’s a racist, sexist shithole full of threats of violence because I, personally have never seen that so it must not exist. Additionally, as I personally have never seen it, you must have a ridiculous view of what extremism might be… in spite of a US senate report that goes directly against my point.”

That is a wild link

This is just entirely untrue. People generally consume more nicotine when vaping. That much is true. Vaping has significantly less toxins and dangerous chemicals than smoking cigarettes, as well as circumvent the whole tar in the lungs thing. There are no long term studies on vaping, so doctors will always say “we aren’t sure which is worse” but advise that smoking is likely to be far worse for the body than vaping. There is not a single study on earth, nor any doctors I’ve heard, that supports your claim.

Unable to see the argument behavior. The government, the other commenter is saying, must provide a viable alternative in order to prevent this behavior.

Word, thank you for the high effort and detailed explanation.

Are you actually educat3d on this or just saying things? Because I’m asking bc idk

Even “accidental” destruction?

No. I don’t think that going to a dermatologist causes significant hormonal changes like exercising regularly does. Why would I ever think that salicylic acid and antibiotics would affect my neurotransmitters and hormones significantly? They don’t…

Not at a biochemical/hormonal level, which you definitely can for at least physical activity.

The issue us that the hobbies you have have little correlation with whether or not women like you. I do many things on the list of hobbies that women find unattractive, but I don’t have trouble pulling because very little of attracting a sexual partner actually has to do with having a lot in common with them. It’s more of vibey thing like that guy was saying.

At the same time, the gym is gonna help self image and self confidence which will help you be fun chill and easygoing which will help you get laid.

The benefits of hitting the gym are much more than just getting swole. It increases self-confidence, helps to improve self-image, etc, which are all way more important to getting laid than any hobby you could have.

Or, alternatively, this is intended to clown on .ml users, because it’s hilarious and accurate. I don’t think anybody on lemmy would not be cool with attacking Joe and Kamala and Trump on this issue, and the vote total of your comment clearly shows that lmao. (And let’s be honest, you knew it would be popular here too). In fact, lemmy is constantly attacking the US on supporting the Israeli genocide, as they should, but funnily enough, nobody here seems to attack China on the Uyghur genocide, which is the point of this meme. By acknowledging that Israel is committing genocide, China would give further impetus for investigation following the UN report which asked for such regarding the Uyghur genocide.

But whatever I guess
