This reminds me when I was in school and a friend wanted to fart. Everybody in the classroom was talking but he thought they might still hear so he planned to let his book fall on the ground and time the fart with the fall noise. He messed it up, he farted 2 seconds after the noise. Also, the noise was so loud everybody immediately stopped talking.

Oops, I did a switcheroo on the question. But I used my real CC number, swear on my eyes.

The games are mostly similar but there are a few differences.

The Game Gear has a lower resolution so most games had to have slight changes to account for it. There was a MS adapter for the Game Gear but games would look too small since they weren't made for a tiny screen. The other way around was not possible without altering the games themselves because the GG had a different color palette with more colors.

My rule of thumb is, if he doesn't give you the solution right off the bat he won't give you one. If that happens either fix it yourself or start a new chat and reformulate the question completely.

I was going to tell you were wrong but decided to make sure before making a fool of myself. It was the right call, eheh.

The game was developed specifically for the Game Gear and that was the first version to be developed though the Master System version was the first to be released.

Sonic 1 for Master System...Bridge Zone, act 3...

Is there any other way to communicate? Peeing in someone's face is a very effective way to send a message.

Trump isn't stupid, at least not that stupid. Your analogy would work better if instead of shooting his own foot he's shooting Uncle Sam's foot. You act confused because you think he works for Uncle Sam. He does not. He's a Russian asset: his job is to make sure Uncle Sam never walks again, while pretending he's not doing it on purpose so he can keep doing it.

When you look at it that way, all his actions make perfect sense. He works for Putin and he's doing a good job. Until people realize this he'll keep sabotaging the US.

"we'll get wid of the taxes and waise the tawiffs. Beautiful tawiffs, the best ones... some people - good people - say. We'll call it tawiff season, uhuhuh!"

Because people are downright ignoring who he's working for. His actions make absolute sense as a Russian asset. And no, he's not trying to screw the US allies, at least that is not his main objective.

EU, Canada, UK, they're just collateral damage. They'll hurt but they'll recover because while loosing the US they still have each other and China. And in their recovery they'll help isolating the US. After they learn to live without the US it's game over.

His main target is the US itself. He's trying to collapse the US economy and isolate them to prevent from rising up again. He's trying to destroy the US reputation in the international community. He tried it once but now he's making sure it sticks. With a broken economy and no allies the US will loose its capacity to project military power. Even if a Democrat is elected nobody will ever trust the US again.

Trump works for Putin, it's completely obvious. His job is to sabotage the US. And he's doing a great job. And by the time Americans face the facts it will be too late. Maybe it already is.

I read Ken's book and it seems he always painted himself in the best of lights. At the same time, even from his own POV, he always came off as screwing his workers.

Americans: doing jokes about our lack of a very important food product is very inappropriate and immoral!

Irish: you want some potatoes with those eggs?

They are eating the dogs and now they are tariffing the penguins.

Uh? Of course he isn't. Why would Putin tell him to put tariffs on himself? That makes no sense.

Yes, the rapist Brock Allen Turner is also the first thing that crossed my mind. How he got away after raping that girl and now is even trying to change his name.

Because I wouldn't insult my mother (or father) with ANY swear word.

Lol, I'm not even dignifying that with an answer. I've made my point.

Whether it’s been appropriated or not by other cultures

Uh? Englishmen appropriated the English language now?

here in Canada it is misogynistic and is interpreted so by nearly every woman here

And as such I strongly discourage anyone to use that word in Canada. The thing is, this is not Canada, it's Lemmy and lots of people commenting here (me included) are not from the Americas. And they were pretty clear in what way they meant it. You don't have to become comfortable with the word but you must understand it doesn't mean the same in other places and you have no right to impose on them the meaning it has in your country.

Look, I don't mean to antagonize you but you're looking at it in a very American-centric (and quasi-chauvinistic) way.

In other countries the c-word doesn't have the same connotation as in the US. You are assuming American culture, and its concepts, are universal. They're not.

There's nothing inherently wrong in the c-word and the n-word, but it's the context where those words got to be used that made them so repugnant. Since the n-word was mostly a US thing, its taboo meaning passed over to all variants of English. The c-word though, was already used in other variants and didn't have the same bad connotation it does in the US. So it kept being used in a different way.

Trying to force the American meaning on other English speakers comes, at best, as ignorant and, at worst, chauvinistic. I don't think you have bad intentions since you clearly don't understand how a word can have very different meanings in different cultures. But now you know.
