Here in Germany, traditional names for pubs are often either animals (stork, eagle, bear, lion, trout, deer, etc.) or the original owner’s name.

Not nearly as colorful as some of the other examples here but I’m not aware if there might be regional differences. My region might just be particularly boring in this regard.

Bike lanes are weak and unmanly because they don’t contribute to our demise as a species.

Sounds like something is very wrong with Grey’s anatomy.

Killing half of the world’s other species on our way out?

Well it’s either that or they’re hardened criminals who know exactly how not to get caught.

The number of people who don’t realize there is no “amount” of people is TOO DAMN HIGH.

We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning and we’re never learning
We didn’t start the fire
And we kinda like it so don’t try to fight it

You can shove your dogwhistles right out of here. What kind of socialist are you anyway? National?

Yeesh, that smells even worse than what I originally thought. 😬

African folks love the kindness of Europeans.

… is a statement which, even if correct, contributes absolutely nothing to the current debate. Feel free to open your own thread about it.

You’re right, it’s terrorism. Or will be declared as such soon enough, mark my words. The days of free speech in the U.S. are numbered.

Well, common sense and calling for sustainable consumption are just not very sexy. Voters preferred the charismatic actor from Hollywood to the pragmatic farmer from Iowa, and that got all of us into this current mess.

Maybe the United States needs more politicians like Mamdani who combine no-nonsense progressive realpolitik with populist messaging.

Carter was promptly voted out of office and replaced with Ronald Reagan. We all know how that went.

It might have had something to do with Carter putting solar panels on the White House roof as well. Or the backroom deal that Reagan’s people made with the Khomeini regime to keep the American hostages in captivity until after the election. Who knows.

And them being overweight affects others’ enjoyment of the game how exactly? Showering and deodorant are basic courtesy but why exactly is the player’s body shape an issue?

Only in shithole countries.

Yes, Semen Demons Part 1-19. It’s so good to see the congregation come together.

Fair warning: these are real tearjerkers, so keep tissues handy.
🤜💦 🥲

Yep, that’s another great question. Personally, I like the idea that art is any form of human expression that exists for its own sake. Not in order to be instructive or useful or to make money but simply because the person creating it felt like it (obviously this is an ideal and real life motivations vary).

More pragmatically, one might ask what art is good for, but since you didn’t, I’m not going to ramble here.

That said, there is the question I raised in my comment whether the work needs an audience, someone to behold it, in order to fully become art. I believe it does. If you paint a picture in the dark and hide it so nobody ever sees it, I struggle to accept it as art.

What’s your take on these questions?

In a good game they do, but those effects can be abstracted rather than simulated to save processing power.
