I hadnt heard that before but thats a dumb saying. Thats not what rhyming means and history is literally repeating itself. If anything id say “history doesnt repeat itself verbatim but it says the same thing with different synonyms”. Not as punchy i guess but the words ‘door’ and ‘floor’ rhyme and their meanings are completely different whereas the meaning and intention behind these actions are the same thing just with different perpetrators/excuses.

What parts of this rhyme? And in what accent?

No the character just confirms that an equivalent age of 15 is too young. 21 is just the baseline age they use to do the calculation, because it lines up with 100 years in elf years. But the bartender wouldnt have to do the second part of the calculation at all if the drinking age is 21. It could easily be 16 or 17 and the elf would still be too young.

Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.English451·11 days agoWhat point are you trying to make? You say you’re “all for calling this kind of fuckery out” but then you’re criticizing people for calling it out? And who cares what other EULAs might say? The point is that the license agreement for this game and others owned by this company didn’t say this shit before, and now they do. The company is actively making their user agreement more hostile to the users which is what people are pissed about.

I should know, im a very successful corporate lapdog. My manager tells me im a good boy almost every week. The managers can tell if your heart isnt in it when you lick their face and their boots, if you dont have tenacity and a go getter attitude you’ll never be able to be a successful corporate lapdog like me. Its not easy making money for other people.”
Im almost positive they did, i had one in my core 2 quadro machine iirc, but it was 7200rpm not 5400.

A mischievous fairy might have hidden it inside there.
Thats my point though, its not a good metaphor. Rhyming doesn’t mean ‘two things that are similar but have different surface details’, it means ‘two things that sound the same but have totally separate and unique purpose/meaning’. If anything saying it rhymes would mean its alike on a surface level but different in truth, which is the opposite of the message the quote is trying to convey i think.
