But those tacitly aren’t expected to be reimbursed for labor, so that wasn’t what I was asking about.

Does the US, as a polity, have a history of non-payment after rendered services?

That’s more famously a Trump staple.

She prompted it and I accepted because what are you going to do? Stay in a one-sided relationship?

Honestly, it was the right call even if I immediately went into emotional triage to figure out when I had fucked up.

Turns out being exiled to suck grains of sand for individual molecules of moisture up through your early 20s isn’t as good for the resume as being inducted as a child into the fasttrack program for magic West Point.

I fundamentally cannot agree with that take. How do you fix something if you don’t know why the current thing doesn’t work?

Is the interface obtuse?

Are the controls too manually complex to operate?

Is the tutorial instruction flat-out wrong?

Are they talking out off their ass about something they heard on hearsay?

Were they taught secondhand, and poorly, by someone else on how to operate Thing?

Please don’t try to imprecisely apply soft inclusivity to technical problems. If someone only says the stairs are difficult for them, don’t just change them into a slide because you accepted there needs to be change. This isn’t about accomodating someone’s lifestyle choices, this is (positing) dropping/adopting a standard based on vague dissent.

Bipeds can distinctly kick, punch, and also hold things into those punchers like merch and brand deals.

Bipeds are the ideal form for human propaganda.

I’ve heard it’s SE Asian, not Hawaiian

The philosophy is pretty straight-forward. I don’t know why the world is pretending it’s difficult.

None, but I’m not a historian or even interested in history beyond the broad strokes. I’m not saying Mitch is gonna be as recognizable to the uninformed as “Julius Caesar” or even “Che Guvera”. But I’m sure historians (who focus on America) could tell you the majority leaders during similarly fraught periods of history.

There’s a difference between “historians know this guy” and “historians would have to research if he existed”. McConnell will be the former.

You can’t force engagment by picking a guy whose name is Matt Booty, Microsoft.

It’s the same thing as stabbing a guy who says “what are you gonna do, stab me?”

“My dad knows a guy” is a connection?

Mitch has been the (public) headliner for the Republican for a long time. It might not be in high school textbooks but history will make a note of the Republican party he led.

You can traverse the majority of both maps, fight random spawns and talk to NPCs, in constructed cities, that have dialogue, trade, and occassionally provide quests.

Besides the dozens of standalone miscellaneous quests, Abecean Shores includes a full palette of faction questlines. Players will encounter some familiar factions from Morrowind, like the Thieves Guild, Fighters Guild, and Mages Guild, but you’ll also find dynamic new factions, including the Itinerant Priests and the Kingdom of Anvil itself. Altogether, Abecean Shores includes over 160 quests, guaranteeing dozens of hours of playtime.

What is your definition of “some thing to play”? When was the last time you even looked into those regions? Please don’t go around spreading misinformation and devaluing the time, effort, and content produced by dedicated fans if you can’t spare the time to keep up-to-date.

Cyrodiil (Project Cyrodiil) and Skyrim (Skyrim Home of the Nords) are absolutely in a playable state, but those areas are very much betas and the rest of Tamriel doesn’t exist.

Yeah, the very idea of discourse has been deconstructed so thoroughly that I can see someone saying “but humans are animals” as justification for being a monster. Or that you deserve to steal if you can find a gap in the laws preventing it.

I can see how you might have that internally, but the material imagery here is of something being stolen off a plate. It’s directly at cross-purposes with what would be at the top of people’s mind when interacting with the post (assuming they’re not the type to sprint to comment before engaging with the post at all).

I hope this was preplanned, and they didn’t just passively watch a cat ruin someone’s meal from a single table away.

It’s fine to steal from a company, but (literally) off another person’s plate?

Ooof, that’s a beautiful sight. Clean snow, clear sightlines, and a big fire.
