But there’s so many examples out there of people that don’t try very hard and are still very good at stuff while others work twice as hard and can’t surpass them. What do you call that if not talent?

1·7 days agoMy apologies, my fault for only checking the first 3 links that my search engine gave me, which were Cambridge, dictionary.com and Collinsdictionary.com
And there’s also this. .
But I guess you got me there. I’ll edit my comment to rectify this huge mistake.

2·7 days agoBecause it’s pedantry. I checked 4 dictionaries for america or american. Or just type “america” on whatever search engine First thing for 3/4 dictionaries was the US or its citizens. If anyone ever means to refer to the continent they usually say north/south America or “the Americas”.
Go to any country other than the US and ask a local “Are you american?”. They’re all gonna say the same thing. “No, I’m Mexican/Canadian/Chilean/etc.”
Whenever a word has multiple meanings, you’re supposed to use context to figure out which one is being used. Well, the article title mentions the US government. It’s also a very common phrase with a well established meaning. Check out Green day’s american idiot, for example.
Really doesn’t take a genius to understand what op meant.

2·15 days agoNot buying the game costs the company 80€. This costs them more. I don’t know if they’re actually doing it for the reasons they claim, but if they are… it makes sense and I support it. Hell, even if they’re not, they’re still drawing attention to it, so… Fuck rockstar. The more people are aware of how shitty they are, the better.
What do you mean by gog offending gamers by selling nine sols? Is it because it’s the same dev as devotion? Or some other reason?
