Yeah it's the old "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

A prequel is an automatic retcon. There will always be questions like "why didn't they have that thing in the stories that take place afterwards?"

Besides, backstories are meant to be imagined by the audience. As soon as you decide to make a prequel you're choosing to create cognitive dissonance for the fans. When people have to choose the backstory they imagined vs. the backstory somoene else came up with and put on the screen, people are going to choose the backstory they imagined.

Prequels are always bad for the fans, but the studios like them because it's a lower barrier to entry for the non-fans.

Maybe you need to actually read a history book.

It's one of those things wher eI'm sure it's fine if you learn it. But it's not DOS CMD, but also not bash.

So instead of improving CMD to have more features or just going all the way and offering an official bash implementation, they want me to learn a third thing. Just don't have time for it.

Yeah... after Stalin worked with Hitler to carve up Poland. It was only when Hitler attacked Stalin that he begrudgingly got on the Allied side. Poland still got fucked by that asshole though.

There many things wrong with many zoning laws. Of course it's dependent municipality, but in many places light residential is given preference, neighbourhoods are designed for driving. Wide roads designed to have higher speed limits so aren't all that walkable. Zoning is done separately for residential, commercial, and industrial. So there's no shops close by to walk to, so gotta use a car.

It all adds up to neighbourhoods that aren't all that livable. But older parts of a cities that were built before all this zoning are walkable, there's a good mix of housing and shops. Those places are were people want to live. But also where tourists want to stay.

Bad zoning laws indeed.

Yeah, who cares what's canon anymore? Next week they'll make another prequel that'll retcon the previous retcon to something else.

It's nothing but prequels anyway.

Yup. And you can kill processes in Windows to in the task manager. Or probably with a Powershell command too, but nobody's gonna learn Powershell LOL.

There's nearly always equivalent functions in both Linux and Windows, just in Windows you gotta click around in more bullshit forms and shit to find stuff. Or learn Powershell, but again, LOL. They are both OSes after all, they do similar things. Just one might do them better than the other.

It's always amusing to me which observations these people won't ignore while they ignore other observations. Like how do they draw the line?

Annoying pedant here... 54C is actually 327.15K

Yup, the right has been more successful than the left in influencing the working class. The fact that a lot of working class get scammed by far right narratives is in indication of how the left is absolutely terrible at communicating with the working class.
