GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Polypeptide) is a relatively new type drug which promotes insulin release (prompting its use for treating diabetics) and suppresses appetite (prompting use as a weight loss drug). It’s received a lot of attention recently as a result. I believe the purpose of the comment was to highlight that their mother would distrust science unless it actively helps them.
Same here. Newer versions of Easy Anti-Cheat work fine, but pretty much anything else breaks. Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is an example of a game that uses EAC, but with a version too old to work with Linux
Yes, I’ve run several games native. ProtonDB will indicate if it runs natively (though some people will report using proton on natively supported games out of habit)
EDIT: some games are supported natively, but should use proton for mods. For example, Mount and Blade Warband runs just fine without proton, but if using mods it should be run with proton. This will also be indicated on ProtonDB in my experience
Also much of the “recycled” plastic isn’t recycled, but instead burned or dumped.
Depends on if you’re using British or American English
I never really bought a lot of Ubisoft games because of their poor practices and buggy games, but the thing that pushed me over the edge never to buy from them again was with Anno 1404.
They took Anno 1404, made a few tweaks (the largest of which was some higher resolution support iirc), and released it as a new game, Anno 1404 history edition. They then delisted the original game on steam and made the two incompatible for multiplayer.
So if I wanted to play a game I already own with a friend who didn’t own it before they delisted it, I would have to buy the game a second time. It would only be $15 to buy it, but it was a massive “fuck you” to everyone who owned the game
In my experience, this is unfortunately quite common at universities.
The last one? It’s the gamma function
And a lot of the work over the last 10 years has been repeatedly reworking the same core systems. So it’s just different rather than significantly better. They have made improvements, but it’s somewhat diluted by the side grades

Not OP, so can’t be certain, but I think what they were saying was a lot simpler. I don’t think their mother would even attempt to understand stellar geology or pharmaceuticals, and instead has a blanket distrust of science except when it suits herself.
Geologic activity on the moon doesn’t seem like a particularly objectionable issue (most people would probably regard it with apathy), but then again there are people who think the Earth is flat and vehemently oppose the science which very clearly shows the opposite. I do understand your confusion as the comment likely isn’t relevant to this paper. OP would probably have made this comment or similar on any number of posts about science news and their comment is probably not influenced by the details of the discovery, simply that a discovery was made.
