Mine are "lol" and "lmao". I get what they originally meant, and I get why most people use them nowadays. It's just that they often signal "I have nothing to contribute, but still expect people to read my crap".
As a second (third?) place, "WYSIWYG". If you're going to coin such verbose acronym, might as well sub it with an actual word, like, dunno, "transparent".
EDIT - "lol" = "lots of laughs", "lmao" = "laughing my arse off", "WYSIWYG" = "what you see is what you get".
EDIT2: as another poster correctly pointed out, "lol" also originally meant "laughing out loud". Perhaps even more than "lots of laughs".
It's used so frequently for offences that I'm not surprised at that.
Some of the assets look clearly similar to the ones in Stardew Valley, while some are completely different. It's... interesting to see.
I love the idea of backyard chickens. My parents got some in my childhood; and it allows you to get farming mechanics in a non-farm game.
Persuasion itself goes from neutral to negative, depending on your moral standards. (They're partially individual, partially cultural.) Because at the end of the day it boils down to "I want you to believe in this, because I benefit from your belief."
And you definitively see some backslash against this aspect of advertisement; same deal with personal communication, a person being excessively rhetoric for their own benefit is immediately labelled distrustful.
Then over that propaganda adds further layers of nastiness, like:
Your version of the 8th would literally undo all religion
It would undo the myths, I think. Morality and religious practices might survive depending on how much they rely on said myths.
and a bit of science
It would perhaps demote a lot of theories back to hypotheses, but that's actually good IMO. A good scientist should embrace the doubt and treat it as a respectable enemy, not hide from it like a catfish in the mud.
Specifically on the third point (witch hunts): I love seeing parallel development of similar but slightly different analogies. The author is clearly using the expression "witches" to convey "any group of undesirable people", like I learned; however, the meaning that he's associating with "witch hunter" is wider than the one that I learned.
In his [implicit] definition, any time that you seek witches you're witch hunting. In mine it's only when you hunt a non-witch as if they were a witch.
But once you go past those small semantic differences, the conclusion is obvious: you need to allow people to correctly point out actual witches, but you need to crack down on false accusations of witchcraft.
That's a damn great remind for people to look at what the words are conveying, not picking specific words like you were braindead and assuming the rest of the discourse out of them.
The five missing ones are:
Bonus: the original version of the 8th was
The current 8th (Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour) is a forgery. Some assumer got called out over and over because of the older 8th, since he really liked to make shit up, so he restricted it into near uselessness. Source: I'm Lucifer, I know it. :^)
I meant "decrypted", not "decompiled". (When I wrote the above I was sleep-deprived.)
I mostly pick visual novels apart, to know how to reach one or another specific route. From that I'm somewhat used to read Python code - or at least Ren'Py code.
If I were to discipline my cats by picking them up, one of them would be exactly like in this pic. The other would be tearing my arms apart with the claws of her back legs.
Given that I stole this from a programming community, it shouldn't be too far off from true.
(Caveat lector: I'm not in the IT industry but I'm often messing with bash scripts and decompiled python code.)
Translation:
I just deep-fried and filled a batch of the thing above. They turned out delicious, so I'm sharing here.
Here's a link for the recipe for the dough; I followed it closely, the only thing was that I subbed the butter with veg oil. The recipe yielded ~20 of them, but this depends a lot on the size that you cut them.
Recipe for the custard filling:
Just mix everything together until homogeneous, then heat it on low fire, while stirring constantly, until it thickens. I didn't use the cornstarch because I wanted it slightly runnier, but do add it if you like a thicker custard.
