If you're not part of the group, then don't use it. I'd say maybe the only exception is "queer". I'm fine with people using queer to describe their friends and family who are queer. Not everyone is OK with it though, but it's pretty common. With queer, don't use it unless the person you're talking to self identifies as queer.

Weird. I was just having an issue with pamac and started using paru as a backup and paru is working fine last I checked.

OK I get that we're joking here, but just for my sanity... It's 3 people right? Like it's 2 people standing behind the 1 person in the foreground, right?

Artists that talk like they're showing off their latest work that they're proud of? I don't understand.

So don't act like that? Either way, it's no excuse for being a perv.

I guess it's not so much RTS. It's like making hard decisions. It's a lot like Frostpunk in that way if you've played that game. There's an element of danger and your villagers can easily die, and sometimes you have to make hard decisions or sacrifices.

It's very good if you like city builders with RTS elements. There's no combat in it at all, it's just you and your villagers against the storm, hence the title. It has a lot of challenge missions and an overall story so the replayability is quite good.

It was a disc and the trees were able to be interacted with face to face so I think those are inexplicable except for "they're magic".

There's a wikipedia article with some depictions actually right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Trees_of_Valinor#Creation

Yeah, you'd have to get up high at least.

Elves in LOTR have technically infinite vision because the world used to be flat and illuminated by two glowing trees that resided in Valinor. Because the world was flat, and Elves have essentially perfect vision at any distance, they could actually see things that were on the opposite side of the world.

After Morgoth (aka Melkor, aka the evil god that Sauron worships) and Ungoliant (the mother of Shelob, the spider that nearly kills Frodo) destroyed the trees then the world was made into a globe and Elves infinite vision ability, while still useful, wasn't quite as powerful as before.

Unfortunately the next step is World War III which lasts from 2026 to 2053. It almost kills all of humanity and very nearly leaves the planet uninhabitable.

While you're at it, switch over to DD/MM/YYYY for the date format. The only 2 configurations that make sense is that or YYYY/MM/DD. Either go general to specific or specific to general, MM/DD/YYYY makes no sense.
