Well shit. I guess I can't play it anymore. There's still duotrigordle, waffle, and a million others though. Plus I was starting to see ads on the app.

The clusters of white dots that form a white curved line next to the yellow ones?

I get things like "enlightenment", etc. But the average person (at least in the US) that isn't already Catholic has a strong possibility of already being told they aren't real Christians, and isn't going to know or care about etymology, and will assume it's Lucifer. They could call the main character Satin after the cloth and it's have the same effect, even though they aren't related.

It's simple word association. I'm aware of the Latin translations. I'm also aware that most people are not going to think about it too long, and immediately going to jump to conclusions. They also believe in Bigfoot. What end of the Bell curve are we talking about, here?

I dunno, he's a serial killer trying to remake the world by looking everyone he doesn't like and it's pretty mainstream.

Even without that, drawing attention to Light seems weird. Could've been "Peace", "Faith", or "Love" or whatever.

This is just 12 years of Catholic school talking, but it's a strange name to pick that ties to a lot of less than desirable stuff.

So they choose Luce, so close to Lucifer, and they expect the Internet to NOT bring it up? There's Lucy, Daughter of the Devil on Cartoon Network for shit's sake.

Nevermind the connections to Death Note, a far more popular anime about Light Yagami, and the subtle connections between his name and Lucifer the Lightbringer.

This seems so much worse on it's face, even if you leave out the undertones of children's abuse by the church and Rule 34 that will come out (which are worse, but the church keeps trying to bury it)

I'm speaking mainly of the distrust against the public having access for fear that we'd abuse it and not give them a cut. We can't have access to these things now, but we used to. Regardless of form, regardless of piracy.

It's more of a move to restrict ownership when you make a purchase, that has a farther reach than just games. I could see this being applied to cars, houses, etc. In that you only rent a license, and don't actually own anything. I see this as just a first step, and the logic they use to justify it doesn't make sense.

We used to rent these games from Blockbuster Video! On DVD when we had DVD burners and little to no drm! How did it suddenly not become acceptable?

Mixing water and sand? Is he referring to the Falling Sand game? Just missing wax and fire. What a throwback.

I love shakshuka, but only had it as a dinner. I'll have to try it as a brunch. My understanding is it's kind of made with whatever's on hand, but mine looks like yours. It's delicious! We try to make naan or some other kind of bread to go with it, as well.

Immortan Joe had less swag on his armor than these guys! Do they worry that they'll get too many and not be able to wear them all, and disrespect Dear Leader?

Companies didn't vet them, and outside to other as companies. Turns out they didn't do any due diligence, and let viruses leak through. That's when people really started blocking them.

 

I inherited my grandfather's WWII compass, and had it sitting around for a long time on a shelf. I recently got a Geiger counter, and find that it's radioactive. Around 10 microsieverts/hr. Apparently they used radium paint to make them glow in the dark. I can't just throw it away, but I don't want it potentially causing a danger to others in the room. Is there some sort of lead lined box I can put it in, or some kind of prevention I can do? Is there anyone experienced with this sort of thing that can offer some advice?
