Classic ChatGPT there, forgetting two letters and adding in two that weren’t there before

I’m pretty sure comparing this spike to the spike from when he actually did drop out is exactly what they intended to do. They’re showing that even though this spike exists relative to recent weeks, it’s small compared to the number of people who were relatively on the ball.

This is actually a Lord of the Rings shitpost and it turns out that Bree, Eriador has a thriving cheesemaking industry

I’m pretty sure they are only talking about windfarms that would otherwise actually be built

On the other hand it is the only place I have ever witnessed someone getting on their car horn at an ambulance

Outer Wilds (and Echoes of the Eye) technically qualifies with the community’s rules, but I think the answer more in keeping with the spirit of things is Shadow of the Colossus. The Opened Way is the most “fighting a building-sized monster as a normal guy but still winning” piece of music I have heard

Honestly I don’t think that is necessary to explain this. China is seeing the same issue as western countries with birth rates way below replacement, but it hardly has any of the immigration that mitigates it for (most of) Europe and North America. It’s not easy for an economy to support an ever-increasing proportion of its population being retirees

If it was just that, surely there’d be a rebound visible on the chart after 2016 (8-year-olds and younger)? Instead it falls off even harder

Just dirt. The article calls them earthworks and compares the wall to a Romam vallum, which was an earth rampart with a wooden palisade on top

So you’ve become a “Great King,” have you? But why do you still continue to speak about “friendship” and about coming to Mt. Ammana?.. For what reason should I call you “friend”?..Do those who are not on familiar terms with each other call each other “friend”? Why then should I call you “friend”? Were you and I born of neighbours? As my grandfather and my father did not call the King of Assyria “friend,” you should not keep writing to me (about) “coming” and “Great King-ship.” It displeases me.
