It seems he is just too far up his arse to admit he is wrong. The pony question perfectly shows this.

I admit I only read about half of it, but I don't think the second half could convince me why anyone would ever think this concept works.

If you teach children to guess based on the pictures, they are not reading - that much should be obvious. I'm confused how they would even start to read anything without pictures. You cannot guess based on the context if you cannot read deep enough to establish one, even worse your context could be wrong.

However, the worst advice is to skip words. You're not learning new words if you skip anything you don't know already.

To be fair, Part 1 Dio had the same amount of tits.

Um das etwas einzuschränken: Paprika ist ein typisch deutscher Chips-Geschmack und in Amerika nicht sehr verbreitet.

Regarding the original panel: Powerscaling is so dumb. Fine, your imaginary character is stronger than mine. Now, what?

Since 1993, with the exception of Obama (1961), every president was born either 1942 or 1946. Sanders and Warren are both born in the 1940's too.

Just stop voting fossils goddammit.

A soft drink is any water-based flavored drink [Wikipedia]

Water isn't flavored and soup isn't a drink.

You know, Custom Robo is awesome. I'll gladly sit down, play it and lament the fact there wasn't a new once since the DS game. That's way better than watching some random stuff on Netflix.

I didn't play any Zelda title on the GBA, but those could work due to their puzzle focus. However, even fully combat oriented games couldn't really do much more than Zelda did in terms of their combat system, which ended up being quite dull.

I kind of liked the Legacy of Goku series, just because I like Dragon Ball and because level ups made a huge difference. The battle system wasn't anything special, but it was satisfying to just grind a bit and afterwards demolishing anything in your path - just repeat this in any given new area.

Glad to finally see something without a soft drink included - I like the soup much more.

What are those fried bits? They kinda look like small Gnocchi or something similar.

I was fully on board with it until I looked at the screenshots. Don't get me wrong, it is gorgeous. But it's an action RPG, something the GBA usually didn't succeed in. I was hoping for something turn based.

Man, I'm tired of that AI slob. Just look at that ear. Like, it's cool we could develop that stuff, but now it just drowns out actual art.

I mean it works, if you're strong enough to penetrate the crust that is. Only works for real alpha males.

Das Erhalten weniger Tierarten rechtfertigt nicht das Einsperren aller anderen Tiere, die je nach Land oft auch gern illegal gefangen werden. Man kann ohnehin nicht wirklich von Artenschutz reden, da die Tiere oftmals nicht wieder in die Wildnis entlassen werden können - sei es aufgrund mangelnder Überlebensfähigkeit, die sie nie gelernt haben, oder fehlendem Lebensraum. Viel sinnvoller wäre hier das Investieren in Naturschutzgebiete und gegebenenfalls das Unterstützen einzelner Spezies innerhalb ihres Lebensraums.

Viel lernen kann man von oftmals lethargischen Zoo-Tieren ohnehin nicht, die wirklichen Informationen stehen auch nur auf Schildern.

Given this data, I think I can reasonably predict that lyrics of pop songs in about 20 or 30 years will mostly consist of cursing. Maybe even sooner given my personal impression of pop songs repeating their lines more often each decade.

I know nothing about religion outside of movies and such - why would he wear a suit? Isn't he supposed to wear something like a robe? Or at the very least a white collar band?

Also, that's still way too many people.

'1 - 1,000,000 - 900 - 7 & 80 - 1,000 - 600 - 4 & 50'

Large numbers are alway broken up into blocks of 3, pronounced like the initial numbers from 0 to 999 + the name of the long scale number (thousand, million, etc.).

Short scale, in english goes like this this: Thousand (3 zeros), Million (6), Billion (9), Trillion (12)...

Long scale, as used in german, goes like this: Tausend (3), Millionen (6), Milliarden (9), Billionen (12), Billiarden (15), Trillionen (18)...

Long scale kind of makes more sense since starting with Million the names just count upwards. Million, Bi-llion (2), Tri-llion (3), etc. But since you still start with Thousand in short scale, Billion is the 3rd, Trillion the 4th and so on. If you want to figure out Octodeci-llion (18), the formula to get the amount of zeroes in short scale is '18 * 3 +3' and in long scale '18 * 6'. Also keeps the names pronouncable for longer than short scale. However, it does make translating the names of large numbers between both languages a nightmare.

To each their own, I guess. I am not married with kids and neither do I want either of those. Luckily my girlfriend thinks the same.

Yes, I had to learn that too. It's weirder for sure, but not in the context of this specific graph since '4 - 20 - [0-19]' (80-99) still forms a neat cluster based on the first few letters.

German numbers are weird because we kinda switch the last two digits.

43 in most languages becomes '40 - 3', but in german you say '3 & 40'.

But we do not pronounce the whole number backwards.

143 in most languages becomes '100 - 40 - 3', in german you say '100 - 3 & 40'.
