Prima facie means 'at face value' so to say 'at prima facie' would be to say 'at at face value', which is redundant.

Cool.
That's it? A one word review?
I can't give more based on one song.

"forcing ideologies" on their pets.

What?
Pop-journalism bullshit. It's why my cat is a totalitarian.

I haven't eaten meat in days and I've been feeling lightheaded and weak, even though I've been eating plenty of nuts. Then your diet is poorly structured. You can't eat whatever you want and expect to be healthy just because it's vegan.

*I should also add that humans differ from other omnivores in that we lack omnivorous instincts; strictly speaking, we're opportunistic eaters.

Cats are carnivores. Humans are not.
And that's a horrible diet to feed anything, anywhere, ever.
Well humans are omnivores, so I wouldn't say we're not carnivores and I wouldn't say we're not herbivores.
The ideal, healthy human diet contains assets from both.
Not really. Omnivores don't need to eat meat; they can eat it, but they have no physiological requirement to do so. The ideal human diet consists of all the nutrients we need to be healthy. Where we get these nutrients from isn't important, nutritionally speaking, so long as we get them. And we can get them all from non-animal sources.

It's certainly an interesting phenomenon, but it suffers from burnout which makes it a bit of an unreliable anti-insomnia tool <.<
So do any of you chaps also get burnout from it? (As in it stops working completely for a while) and/or how do you avoid this/sort it? >_>
I don't think you need to get tingles from an ASMR video to be relaxed by it. I don't get them lying down for some reason, but I still find the sounds effective at putting me to sleep.

ASMR actually makes me feel really, really uncomfortable
in a bad way
How so?

guys should never do ASMR
when a girl whispers in your ear, it sounds sweet and tingly
but when a guy does it, it's just... creepy
and i'm not just saying that--that's like, the gold standard of ASMR there
Not really a fan of whispering anyway. I prefer the binaural sounds.

Yes it is and you're a weirdo.

Can we PM submissions for the next one? I've got a couple I think you'll like.

Why do you have the Frasier intro as your avatar?
Reference to an old username of mine on B.net.

It would be so absurdly unlike the show to do something like that.
 ??
As in, it would be nothing but contrived fan-service. If it happens, the series will have sunk to a new low.

If you're asking how to gain 30lb of muscle by the end of the summer, you won't. It's not possible.
Following a good diet with a caloric surplus and a good routine, you may gain 5 or 6lb of lean mass by summer's end. You'll probably gain more than that but the rest will be fat.

what's with the hate on the talking anyway
what's wrong with it What's right with it? The only cool-looking thing about it was weapon customization.
Oh, the talking. Well, to me, the voice acting is just really dull and it appears to slow the game down a whole lot.
Plus, it's just kind of awkward watching two people have a dumb conversation in shot-reverse-shot.
Yep.
But come on, no game world is more immersive than Fallout's.
he said right in the conference that you can have conversations in first person...
And I'm sure you can just read the dialog and skip to the next line just like you could do for all the voices npc's just like fallout 3/NV/oblivion/skyrim
That doesn't mean the protagonist will be silent. If the dialogue choices are as clipped as they showed, then I don't think it's likely. There needs to be the original box of text options.

Well they took one of the main things I loved about the series and shot it out back.
I'm done.
So being able to hear your character ruins the game? Alright then. I'm not super happy about it but I'm still excited for the game.
It's a big deal. The great thing about Fallout 3/NV was that you weren't just controlling the wanderer, you were the wanderer. It will also make dialogue scenes really tedious, which is a shame, because they were extemely enjoyable in the previous games This will really hurt the immersion if there's no option to turn it off.

It does, but I'm not a fan of the dialogue scenes at all. This Witcher-esque kind of stuff where he gives a cringey speech every time you select a dialogue option is really off-putting.

my favorite: oreos
Crush them up, put in bowl, pour coconut/almond milk over them and eat like cereal.
