It‘s a shame I had to scroll down so far to see the second half of your explanation. The point about production is why trying to outlaw alcohol is so much more insane than trying to outlaw any other drug. The moment an apple leaves its tree, it starts producing alcohol. There‘s a reason alcohol is ingrained in so many cultures: It gets created basically everywhere, with and without human interaction.
I think there‘s no need to be so blunt. Just rename it for what it is: Office Building of Awful Modern Architecture (O.B.A.M.A.).
How can you not like nutmeg in your mashed potatoes?
Several decades ago, it must have been as good as other comparable products on Mac OS. And when there‘s no compatibility, the switch isn‘t that easy. You basically have to build your templates from scratch.
That being said, we have decided to switch to MS Office, but my boss will probably use Ragtime until retirement.
Maybe you have heard about a software called Ragtime. It‘s basically a combination of Word and Excel. However, there‘s no option to export any files that can be edited with any other office application, and you can‘t open .xls/.odf etc files with it. Oh, and the best part about it: You can always only undo one action.
Makes you wonder how many people actually understood the question.
Persay Jackson?
How much do you pay for a Gros Michel nowadays?
With one stroke? Does your group only consist of level 1 wizards or is it some kind of legendary knife?
The Norberta reveal actually happens in Deathly Hallows. And frankly, I don‘t see a shift that is connected to the movies. What I actually observed was the overcompensation for criticism two books after the fact (remember Winky?) that Shaun described in his video essay.
Remember when Hagrid assigned his dragon the wrong gender at hatching?
Well, that‘s ok. You obviously didn‘t read my posts anyway.
Slaughtering a village for the evulz and just to see what happens is murder hobo alignment, not evil.
You‘re putting examples against each other that cannot be compared. Let‘s take the village overrun with monsters and present it to three different characters of each alignment. The good one fights the monsters to free the village. The neutral character assesses the risk and if they don‘t fight, they at least inform the next village they pass through. The evil chatacter doesn‘t bother because they don‘t care.
It‘s dependent on context. If you live in an oppressive regime that commits atrocities in front of your eyes, you may let them happen because you fear for your own safety if you intervene. That‘s the neutral way. A good person would join a resistance group, even if it means putting yourself in danger. An evil person would apply as a henchman to the evil overlord, not because they‘re a sadist that craves harming other people, but because it‘s an easy job and it pays well.
There‘s also the distinction between allowing evil practices for your personal gain and allowing them to avoid harming yourself. The latter would be a neutral alignment.
If your personal morality allows you to do anything, as long as you profit from it in some way, you don‘t have any morality at all. You‘re evil.
We always called it Ameisenfußball (ant soccer).
