It’s funny/weird that Dune is much more “more fantasy than sci-fi” than Star Wars, but somehow it’s still considered one of the greatest sci-fi stories of all times.

Shame that there hasn’t been any decent The Sims-like game since The Sims 3.

I wish it was more acceptable (except snuggling, that’s a bit much too intimate)
Brazil might have a lot of problems, but one thing I think our law gets right is treating voting not as a right, but as a duty, you don’t get to choose not to vote.
One idea I have (but no ability to mod it in) would be:
to generate some kind of voronoy grid;
find the average height of each cell;
discard those too different from their neighbors;
flatten the terrain in each cell to its average;
connect some centers with paths;
add buildings.
He’s certainly AN Antichrist. Specially because “anti-” can also mean “in place of”. He is both the opposite of what Christ represents and is replacing Him.
Also “verde” in Portuguese, but red is “vermelho”
Once, the answer to a problem that was stumping me came while driving in the middle of nowhere at 01:00am back from a weekend trip.
Fun fact: the largest Japanese population outside of Japan is in Brazil.

I think for the extreme cases when it becomes hemorrhagic.
Thankfully, it’s uncommon. But it’s more likely if one has gotten it before.
@Toes
Main symptoms are joint pain, pain behind the eyes, weakness (I felt couldn’t hold myself up out of bed for more than 15min), and more dangerously a large drop in the number of blood platelets (mine got to half the healthy expected minimum), for some people it becomes hemorrhagic.
I got dengue this year.
A week of pain and extreme weakness.
Don’t recommend.
The only good thing about the far-right is that it’s always eventually autophagic.
There’s a reason for the “joke”: if you put 3 leftists in a room out comes 5 political parties.
My understanding as a layperson: probably stuff is probably around here somewhere, probably.
There were no “good guys”, there were bad guys against worse guys.
The Allies were happy to support the nazi/fascists as a counter to “communism” until Hitler got too greedy
Supposedly they are malevolent spirits that sometimes may grant wishes as a reward, not by some compulsion.
The war was not against nazi/fascism. The Allies were happy to support them as a counter to “communism” until Hitler got too greedy.
Would be cool if they instead pushed it up into a cemetery orbit and in the future turned it into a museum.
