  It’s a timezones vs actual sun time thing. In Spain near me they are like 2 hours away from their actual sun time so you can even add that to the lag you said. I’m sure it’s the other way around somewhere in the world, specially in medium and big countries

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are less powerful and easier to tax. It’s all about power, The rich by themselves are less powerful than the masses when the masses are together. Which is why they’re taxed at all. There’s something more powerful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The rivers bring salt to the lakes and ocean that they erode when passing. Those get saltier over time. Evaporation filters that out and feeds the fresh water to everything again, but the salt gets deposited in the more permanent structures.

  Just want to add that the Portuguese document there is a scientific paper, not legislation. Not sure on how proposals might have been changed the law in the 4 years after it but it’s become more pertinent because the increase of tourism was accompanied by these scams (my source for this is word of mouth, take it with a grain of salt)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civilization VI: Just another knowledge check 4X game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can play a lot of PvE games without competition. Deep rock galactic, space engineers, Minecraft mods, left 4 dead, divinity original sin (or baldurs gate 3 these days).

  I think there’s AoE and starcraft co-op these days
