Oh man, that was hard to read. The way he justifies his position shows he completely misunderstands the issue, yet is willing to fuck with real people’s lives to maybe win a few extra theoretical votes. Despicable.

Using his completely valid experiences in a wheelchair to show he understands what it’s like to be bullied, and saying “No Iowan should face discrimination”, but then turning around and spelling out exactly how he wants to discriminate against trans people, is just insane. It’s almost too hypocritical for me to believe. Almost. It’s a shocking lack of empathy.

Reload times, damage multipliers, you name it. I played it years ago so I don’t remember the exact specifics, but I came up with a sweet spot that worked for how I wanted to play.

I loved it, it’s a pretty unique experience. But to be totally honest, I hated it until I messed with the assist mode settings. So my personal tip, which is definitely not for everyone, is to completely customize those settings as much as you want. Some of the default combat and QOL features are way off in my opinion, and once I got over the shame of changing some fundamental settings, the game opened way up for me and I was able to get completely into the story.

The devs added the settings a year or two after the game’s release, so they must have been getting a lot of feedback.

Enjoy! You’re in for a wild ride.

This is exactly it. It’s what politics is supposed to be about. AOC gets it. For clear moral issues like this, you can’t back down.

It’s a big reason why Democrats are so weak. Most, especially those in leadership, have given up trying to persuade people by doing the right thing. We need to persuade especially on issues that are inspiring violence and hate on the other side. Taking the other side’s stance, particularly when it’s so clearly on the wrong side of morality/history/humanity, never made sense as a strategy to me. It’s disgusting.

Sam Altman has never given the public any reason to believe a word he says. He’s a disingenuous liar, and is known for acting like whomever he’s currently talking to. He’s a sociopath. I have no trouble believing he was capable of these allegations.

I also don’t understand why a judge thinks a medical exam would find anything useful so many years after the alleged crimes. It makes no sense for that to be the reason this was dismissed unless the judge was just looking for an excuse. And whether or not his sister has issues doesn’t seem relevant either. If she was repeatedly assaulted by her brother, it’s not at all surprising that she would have lasting trauma.

I think this comes down to the fact that he is a well-known figure with an insane amount of money and influence. He is above the law, like everyone else in his class

Oh damn, my cat hasn’t gotten sick, but I had no idea! I appreciate the heads up, I’m definitely going to grab some different filters just to be safe.

Ha! I have a fountain with the same spout, but luckily mine has a splash guard because my cat drinks out of it the exact same way as yours. As goofy as it makes them look, it’s an awesome fountain, my cat is extremely well-hydrated.
