That reminds me there’s a game called Shadows of Doubt! You are a detective in a dystopian cyber noir world where corporations run everything.
Anyway they just added a mode to have the damned snail always after you while you’re trying to take on jobs and solve crimes
The way it works is some people work regardless, like the military or ATC for example. Idk if ICE falls into a similar category but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Anyone still working won’t get paid right now but when the politicians are done with their games and the government is reactivated they’ll get back pay…eventually.
Indeed. Edited.
I’m in a rural area so no dedicated walking infrastructure but the side roads are very walkable anyway since there’s little to no traffic until you get to major roads. That’s where traffic is steadier with semi trucks.
3 miles to the town center where there is a school, fire station, town hall, gas station, park, dollar store and ice cream shop. Not an easy stroll from here but easily bikable
I love ones that make it seems like you’re talking down to a kid
Flapjack, doof, pipsqueak, piece (as in “you piece”), dingodile, jackwagon etc.
Shit and fuck are just spicy filler words anymore so you gotta switch it up
It’s not about bad or good even, it’s about having “principles” and acting on them. Democrats in general, for better and worse, are permissive to all kinds of stuff but have a real hard time agreeing on where lines are drawn and picking hills to fight for and die on together.
It’s like a kid having a tantrum on the floor of a public place and the parent going “sorry this is horrible but this just how he acts” and doing nothing to correct them or change the situation when they totally can.
Republicans don’t really have that problem, even when it’s objectively the dumbest shit ever.
Yes you are both correct, I’ll fix myself
Yeah, but have you seen some of our distopian level parking lots?
There was a pilrimage/challenge a friend of mine went on. It was walking 20 miles each day for 3 days for a total of 60 mi/96.5 km. That was in upstate NY where there are plenty of hills to keep it interesting
Blisters, chafing and fatigue is common but many people do that every year
My great grandparents immigrated from Eastern Europe to the US. My Grandma told us about the time one of their relatives came to visit them. She remembers that he almost never took off his shoes, even when sleeping. They asked him about it and he said it was to run out the back door if the secret police came. He was amazed that nobody else in the family did the same, and then even more amazed to learn that nobody HAD to
But when someone says the word children what age range do you think?
The study categorizes them as 1-19 years old. An 18-19 year old can buy a firearm legally on their own, as well as cigarettes(recently changed to 21), cars, an apartment etc.
I mean come on at the end of that age range they could have joined the military at age 17, did basic training and had two years of active service in.
Now don’t get me wrong I don’t want kids (or anyone) to get gunned down in schools, malls, or be lost to suicide. But I feel like if you’re going to yell from the hills that guns are THE leading cause of death of children the stats shouldn’t also include those legally seen as military age adults.
Maybe I’m wrong though, I plan to dig through the sources a bit later
Make me the boss,
I wanna be a jerk!!
And flex on the peasants,
Gonna make em see.
How cool it is,
To own the city streets.
I’m not against them, but I wonder how EVs will hold up in the long haul. Like in 20 years will there even be a feasible used market or will the batteries and motors be too shitty without a crazy expensive replacements to keep them practical?
And then there’s the scrapping process for batteries too. Can batteries be refurbished, scrapped or recycled in a way that most regions can do it?
Like LEDs I know they CAN be built to last a long time, but I know companies often don’t
Death finds a way
This is similar to how the hunger games ends. Generations of people suffered and died in the meadows where little kids could now play in peace.
In this case of the comic it’s tourists discovering a mass grave of people that used to live where they are vacationing so yeah changes the tone a bit
It’s setting the stage. It doesn’t do much on it’s own but if you recognize them as a state rather than just some people it gives leverage to use more diplomatic tools.
How much difference will it actually make? No idea.
Yeah say what you want about the people or cringe holiday photos but an M-60 or Thompson in the collection would be incredible
“Longer winters means less mosquitoes!”
“What about the rest of the year?”
“…”
