Baby itself comes from a race known as the Tuffles, which in Japanese—Tsufuru-jin—is a play on words of a loanword for fruit, while in English sounds close enough to Truffle to be another translation pun.

I mean we’ve known  forever that the Smash community is, by far, the worst of the fighting game communities out there.

Surprise! People can care about more than one thing at a time.

Man as long as his down-b isn’t a counter (the laziest design in the game, imo) and his side-b isn’t spamming a bunch of sword slashes in one direction, I’ll be happy.

Can someone give a quick breakdown as to why this is bad news/bad for consumers?

Because he has more money than anyone could realistically spend in a lifetime.

Americans couldn’t even be bothered to vaccinate their children for things like smallpox and the mumps, and you honestly think they’re going to jump head-first into a vaccine for something they couldn’t even be bothered to wear masks for

About 1023812038032 small businesses that use everything from Calvin and Hobbes to freaking Dragon Ball Z characters as their mascots get away with this, every year. If he’s not charging people to come look at it, it’s just a mural with Cookie Monster on it.

The issue is that, in the time since we’ve been in school—I’m in my early early thirties, fwiw—the curriculum of ELA classes has vastly changed. It’s way less about teaching analysis and critical thinking, and more about looking for “right” answers. Because testing? So you have an entire generation of otherwise…

Or that you shouldn’t steal a man’s car and kill his dog. Etc. Those are all “things” the movie says.

Everything you just mentioned—cutting of funds, how telescopes naturally decay, etc.—are, of course, part of the problem. I’m not saying they aren’t; but, in…

The visitor’s center is where people come to learn about the telescope and research facilities, so it’s both a tourist attraction and a place where, like, tons of schools go on fieldtrips to visit every year. Think a more museum-y version of Space Camp. 

Had this threatened to occur anywhere else in the US as populous as PR, especially after said place had suffered widespread damage from one of the most devastating hurricanes the Caribbean had ever seen on top of suffering months of being hit by the biggest earthquakes recorded on the island, I’m fairly certain the…
