Probably not the only one, no. There's always someone out there that unironically ships any given shipping combination. Sometimes you have to enlighten them as to its existence, but eh.

Is there some context I'm missing as to what makes "Go on you're worth it" racist?

I was more just distinguishing the advertisement as a whole as being "one that got considered racist", rather than the quote specifically. Basically, Turkish pizza man had an accent and tried to sell something to the Norwegian woman by flirting a little bit in fluent Turkwegian. Which is very much a stereotype, regardless of how many of them we may personally know and love.

Does anyone else go into "foreign" restaurants and feel bad because you don't speak their language, you're not sure you're even pronouncing "thank you" correctly despite listening to it off of Google Translate dozens of times, and you don't know what their cultural food etiquette is like or how much it's even noticed?

Nope! I sincerely doubt anyone of them are offended about it, and anyone who is is an asshole. An asshole that only has themselves to blame in the first place if they get upset as it's their own fault for not translating the names.

I do feel ashamed I don't know how to use food sticks, though. But that's mostly because I want to be able to use food sticks.

On the Waluigi X Rosalina thing, I just kinda feel bad for both of them, Rosalina just sorta seems lonely, and as for Waluigi, the cornerstone of his personality is supposed to be self pity, and his character deserves some kind of happiness in his life and I think I'm overthinking this at this point but eh

[Rolan7]

When asked whether Waluigi was a brother to Wario, Martinet stated that while he did not know, he felt that they were just "two nice, evil guys who found each other".

(;
No but really I'm just happy that he has one friend, at least.  Apparently they work together in some of the spinoffs.

The better crack pairing is Luigi/Waluigi, obviously, to follow the Nintendo theme of having to unite both dark and light sides of things.

I am a bit peeved that Waluigi is not called 7uigi

But waaaaaaaaaahhhhh

I feel like I've asked this before and forgotten then answer.

How is it scientists account for genetic variations when sequencing genomes of a species?

They probably take a sample of diff rent ones and highlight the similarities.

Do Twitter strangle their non-app visitors or something. I can never actually see anything somebody links from Twitter and that annoys me.

Well, one thing is that the Twitter layout can be somewhat confusing for someone who doesn't use it regularly.

Another thing is yes.

My sister will be in Warsaw and Gdansk in a couple of weeks on a business trip, with some free time. Any highlights she should know about to check out while she's there?

Soplica Orzech Włoski. Walnut-flavored vodka. It is magical. Also check out their hazelnut vodka.

Also probably some historical locations or whatever, I don't know.

If anyone has a solution, I'd be happy to hear that too.

don't use Twitch

[Arx]

IIRC it's because Twitch either doesn't use any bitrate scaling or has an incredibly poor implementation of it. If a streamer is using a high bitrate (3500KB/s [kilobytes? kilobits? not sure] being the max), you have to download at that speed (scaled for resolution). A lot of the time, there isn't even any discernible benefit to the high bitrate.

More civilised platforms like Mixer and YouTube do some kind of tweaking of the bitrate to accomodate your connection, AFAIK. I'm hazy on the details, but that's something like how it went last I checked.

I hate Twitch with a passion as a streaming service. It's got some really cool functions and a lot about it that I like, but the base platform is just shocking.
