Good thing we tackled that polio issue.

They already banned a swathe of pro-palestinian political streamers in the run up to the US election, so this is likely retroactive reasoning.

Asheron’s Call hit up player housing early on too.

investigating whether state subsidies are giving them an unfair advantage over European competitors.

This makes it seem likely the farmer was gonna get screwed either way. It isn’t that a company trespassed, but that the company that did it was Chinese.

There was a whole era of gaming from the late 90s to like 2010 where like a couple developers made something special, left, and then the company coasted on the code for a decade.

For me it was the Company of Heroes series.

Squirrels aren’t a typical vector for rabies. There was no indication the squirrel was exposed to a rabies vector, like a bat, any more than a household pet or human.

It bit a NY cop though, that’s what happened.

Squirrels tend not to be vectors for rabies. I got shredded by a squirrel my cat brought in that I thought was dead. The doctor shrugged me off and sent me home with some antibiotics.

Squirrels don’t consume rabies vectors, so they’d have to be bitten by a bat with rabies first if they have it.

I actually kind of enjoy powerlines and junction boxes. There’s a level of engineering that is both rough and delicate that is magnified by how orderly and chaotic they are alike.

Now if the power lines are at the expense of a view through trees, that’d be more a bummer. Likewise if the trees remain that’s a hazard waiting to happen, which is also a bummer.

Buried lines and conduit pipe are preferable in most cases and share similar aesthetic characteristics.

Here are some details to the context of why the ban went into effect:

Essentially Israelis did a bunch of racist violence and got their way out of it.

The only reference I have for this was someone who I knew who rubbed said slime on herself for YouTube when she was 17 to build a following for when she turned 18 and started camming.

Unemployment is typically measured by people seeking unemployment benefits, not by volume of people out of work.

Similarly job creation is usually measured by job offerings and not positions filled.

As a result you can get what has been happening: low unemployment and high job creation where people aren’t getting jobs and jobs aren’t being filled.

Ah the first 40 minutes of The Princess Bride countless times through K-12.

It really is just an anti-trans thing.

I did this as a teen with my learner’s permit and my dad. It was him playing the Eaglea and Bob Dylan while I learned to figure out driving on the highway in NJ through the indiana turnpike until the glorious open road out west where i was stuck behind semis and 1 lane road work across the midwest until montana.

I have remained driving on the west coast only since.

Well the argument being made here is that the campaign’s strategy actively depressed turnout.

So not doing normalizing the opposition and implementing the policies your voting base tends to oppose.

I am not sure you remember but the media reaction to Bernie doing well initially was major outlets like CNN reacting with fear, loathing, and uncertainty. And it impacted rhe course of an election. You had anchors yelling about how Sanders will result in public executions in central park during the primary.

Yeah it is definitely a fascist problem.

I mean I would love to believe there are trns of millions of silent far left protest abstentions, but the fact of the matter is seventy million plus motherfuckers actively went for the overt fascists. Tens of millions more didn’t care enough to at least go third party. This was a turnout problem, not a protest vote problem.

Policy-wise it is the same Grand Old Party. The vibe and rhetoric is different, but the policy is mostly all there.
