Makes sense, although sadly for real people in person, the elder you look the more likely they are to be pro-Israel. If I’m lucky, the person I’m interacting with recognizes that Hamas are not the people of Palestine, and even then it’s a dicey conversation.

This has been my experience in Oregon at an elder care facility, at least.

People had the opportunity to not vote for Harris and still vote for other elected representatives in the senate. Not voting was a better option it seems.

Well, the Monster Hunter Wilds Beta test ended. I’m devastated honestly, because I didn’t get to play it enough! It started the day I had work and ended 2 hours after I got off today. I misread the timezone and I thought it ended on the 4th and 11:59am in my timezone. It ended at like 8pm or so.

So that’s too bad! Other than that ~8 hour treat that I thoroughly enjoyed, I’ve finally gotten around to Dragon’s Dogma 2 and I’m enjoying it as well (though slighted now after my favorite series was ripped away from me). It feels a little floaty for some of the characters, but it so far has been a good experience. I’ve been in a bit of a gaming slump so it’s been nice to relax some and play some nostalgic games right as winter is hitting.

The gaming slump I was in had me pretty much only playing Phantom Brave and sifting through little games like Sonic Mania, so I’m looking forward to the games I have on my radar cause it’s really the first time in a while!

Oh also, Amanda the Adventurer 2 came out and my partner and I played through it a little bit. It’s pretty good, although it isn’t the most straightforward. We had to use a guide for quite a bit of it and, while we were close to the right track for each puzzle, we just were not on the ball with what the developers wanted from us. I think the first game was a lot like that though if I remember, and so really what matters more with that in mind is how they continue the story and the atmosphere, which they really nailed. The perfect amount of corporate conspiracy supernatural demon cult technological red herring horror.

All in all, I guess being an adult means winter is gaming time cause I’ve been pretty much too busy the rest of the year to really want or have time to game. For me, a big part of gaming is how I’m feeling, sometimes I want point and pop, sometimes I want laid back, sometimes I want something new, and sometimes I want to make numbers go big. And sometimes, I want to do other things that aren’t gaming, which makes actually gaming feel a little guilty.

That’s funny, I feel the opposite about Deadlock! There’s not really a MOBA first person shooter that is out there, particularly one with such an in depth movement system that is fairly ubiquitous for each character. It does have a skill ceiling, but I would say for casual play, especially starting out, it’s mostly about being patient brick wall and playing the denial game to force mistakes that you can punish.

It’s effectively a first person MOBA with characters that you might see in Paladins. It feels really good, but it is intense for sure – my biggest issue is map navigation and learning it as a whole. But I also really like technical gameplay, one of my favorite games is Smash Bros. Melee so this is just an extension of that love.

I would say if you wanted to give it a shot (if you haven’t already) give each character a shot in the training ground. Get a small feel for their abilities and it’ll help you get a sense of not only what feels fun for you, but also what to expect from the opponents! Edit: I had read your comment over again after I posted of course and I had forgotten that you did go into the testing ground. Sorry! lol. End edit. And for items, that’s a bit harder, I personally don’t care much and just go by passives that sound helpful. Just click once though, double clicking will buy and then sell the item.

Which, in a way is a testament to my first paragraph. Patience is key ;)

People like us getting into politics, which will only happen if we are allowed to hold positions of office.

Right now, we’ve seen that hate crimes and death threats against PoC and queer politicians forced them to step down out of fear of their livelihood because of the events of 2016, and we’ve seen that throughout 2008-2016 and after 2020 that Democrat-running candidates can actually accomplish small steps towards making progress, even if the machine as a whole still tries to stop them. If Republicans/Conservatives had their way, someone like Jabari Brisport would not be safe to exist in politics.

Thank you! I initially found the title of the lawsuit but I couldn’t find where to actually make the claim, so I appreciate it!

Or we could, you know, force social media companies to not use psychologists to make their apps more addictive by design. Something called ethics.

It’s extremely telling that you can look for a job as a psychologist for Meta and all the opportunities that are available are UX researchers.

I looked for it but it looks like it might not be available to join yet. If you find a link do let me know!

I’ve felt this way for months now to be honest.

Ah, if it also adds commentary then sure. When I tested it out a few times it was just retelling the articles verbatim.

Uhm, the Green Party’s primary donations are Home Depot and other Republican donors. Talk about billionaires and dark money.

Speaking of Green Party at the local level, I have only been able to find a very, very small handful of Green Party members who have been elected.

In fact, I can only see 3 since 2020.

This is just fancy transcription, the only thing you can’t trust it to be saying is the article itself…

Absolutely :) I always appreciate seeing your comments around so hey if you can get a little peace of mind, or money, then I’d rather you have that!

One last thought, theoretically is Zantac itself was safe, despite it having the ranitidine. It was specifically Zantac that was left exposed to heat or sunlight, So barring any shipping boxes being left out baking in the sun, your own usage of it may have been within a safe range.

However if you lived in a warm area and maybe kept it with you on your person or in the backpack that was often left outside, you may want to actually look into this class action lawsuit for yourself, if there is one still.

Also I checked and it was 10 total types from the studies. Bladder cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, colon cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer with a diagnosis under the age of 69, lung cancer (never smokers only), and breast cancer.

Finally for what it’s worth, while the correlation is higher, so remember that it is the most sold one in the world, and the total suspected cases are under 100,000. So it is a relatively small percentage, enough to be worth knowing and monitoring, but not something to have looming over you!

Personally I thought it was the sexualization of these teenagers that was the problem.

It’s… a little complicated. Sorry, saying 1 wasn’t exactly clear – Red Dead Revolver is a precursor to Red Dead Redemption, so they are different games.

Revolver was released in 2004 and is a smaller game, featuring a different character, referenced in newer games as an Easter egg. It actually was a partnership between Capcom and Rockstar, with Rockstar finishing the game after they bought the rights.

Red Dead Redemption was in 2010 and is larger, it also had the DLC Undead Nightmares released.

And then Red Dead Redemption 2 is obviously the followup to Redemption 1.

I think the best way to look at it is from the in game narrative, the gameplay of Revolver is a retelling of the events which have been greatly exaggerated after becoming a legendary story. Which is why the references to Revolver in the later games are like tall tales.

Anyway, long story short, no not Revolver. What just came out is a rerelease of Red Dead Redemption 1 and Undead Revolver, the 2010 game.

Read Dead 1

It can only be hoping for some alien technology that we haven’t found out with modern research will be discovered. Like an extreme version of carbon recapture that hasn’t been thought of.

Except somehow derived from literature, images, and the internet as points of data.

How? Well, I’m sure the AI will tell us… right?

Wouldn’t they only be able to grow so many crops of potatoes before there’s nothing left in the soil?

If I recall correctly it was predominantly stomach cancers. That said, check that for certain because I learned about a couple things related to this, so it is possible I’m mixing it up.

I’m glad your preliminary screening was looking good at least!
