Anyone with a sense of sensibility would know that a sense of fashion isn't a sense in the classic sense. How sensational!

*Disclaimer:not disagreeing with your point, just saying saying 'sense of' is a poor metric =P

pif. You think the round-earth illuminati haven't thought of that? They conspired with Boeing to ensure all the glass on planes are fish-lensing, to artificially curve the horizon. This was debunked ages ago. Why do you think Earheart was made to disappear. The earliest aviators were in on it but SHE was having no part of their club, so had to go.

True, but the enemy of your enemy is your enemy's enemy - no more, no less.

Because the Chinese scientists have obviously internalised virology.

Whatever, still looking for my Donna.

For americans, 50mph to 80mph is probably an obvious change. For those in your frozen north though... 80kmph is general highways, while 50kmph is city..except 50 is also highways nearer residential (except when 60 or 40 or 70), and sometimes for no apparent bloody reason (it seems)

There is one road near where I am that flips 80 to 50 to 80 to 50 a few times...on a pure 10km straight stretch (and seems entirely arbitrary since it doesn't match houses off the road). The police have a field day with drivers that blink at changes and are nailed for 30 over, as you have reason to suspect a change if you missed the sign.

You aren't looking at the right trash piles, er... websites. Like Paj ba

Figure it for clickbait or virtue signal or shit stirrer...but there are proponents of that narrative. Also those that hate that they remade Sonic back into looking like Game Sonic, as opposed to some emaciated drowned rat thing.

When I was a child, I liked getting stamps on my passport and such. In Europe, I had to actively seek out people at the borders to 'check my passport and stamp it'. It was as if the border staff were simply ceremonial. This was the Netherlands/German/Belgium/Luxembourg/Austria area.

And if it's an MMO, that hour+ headstart (depending on their servers and your bandwidth) could be all the difference in getting the names you wanted (rather important to some players).
More important to most though, means getting out of the starting area fast - avoiding having to compete for mobs, and bypassing any 'this npc/zone crashed due to overloading'.

Some even gave pre-orders a few days headstart.

Plants aren't food, it's what food eats.

Well, unless you pronounce it pro-t-ein, they could have kept the 't' in the syllable, and went for Soltein. It'd confuse with crackers and not recycled humans, a trade up.

Everyone knows China is all about superstitions.
Everyone's grandma knows, cat's steal a babies breath
China is just trying to use feng shui stuff to euthanise the infants while having plausible deniability...nay, even good PR!

Well...to steal from an ancient Mad Magazine....

"Sing a song of Sony, a pocket full of Yen.
Magnavox and Zenith, undersold again.
See the U.S. suffer, for the job we do.
It's how we get revenge, for losing World War II."

They already did it

The earth is flat. Space is just curved~
