If you dig NSS, they released a cricket game as well that’s a lot of fun. The career management side will be very familiar, but the mini games are different and still pretty engaging.
It opens with you in the back of a police car, handcuffed. You’re being driven through either 80s Miami or 90s LA, depending on when you look through the window. There is someone else in the back seat next to you, also handcuffed. “Hey, you,” he says, “you’re finally awake”. In the distance you see a helicopter with a flamethrower attached to it. GTA V.5 Skyrim Total Conversion Mod is live, and it’s glorious.
go to conservative spaces now and watch them try to walk “ABORTION IS MURDER, LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION” back to “well from the beginning our goal was only ever to return sovereignty to the states.”
they stand for nothing, and they’re getting what they deserve but not nearly enough of it
marijuana is and has always been effectively legal. think of how many people you know that smoke every day. how many of them have actually been busted? the laws against marijuana were never about stopping people from smoking marijuana. they’re about making something tons of people do illegal so that they can:
investigate, harass and disrupt inconvenient people whenever they want to for suspicion of doing something the majority of people do
tack on additional charges and jailtime in order to funnel more profits to private prisons and the major orgs that contract out prison slave labor
The case will test how far the court’s conservative majority is willing to go in interpreting the scope of its 2022 ruling that expanded gun rights outside the home....
of course they did, the penalty for getting caught destroying evidence is far, far less than the penalty for the price fixing they’re accused of. the law is designed to incentivize them to do this.
we could make it so that the penalty for destroying evidence in a court case once its been subpoenaed is twice the penalty of the original case, but we don’t. we could make CEOs responsible for the actions of their employees (after all, they’re quick to claim responsibility for the actions of their employees when those actions generate money), but we don’t.
I feel like something that’s getting lost in the whole “are mapping apps responsible when their data is wrong” debate that’s going on in this thread is that google maps is absolutely not a trail app. I started hiking at the same time everyone else did, the beginning of the pandoodle, and I’ve been getting out about twice a month since then. I can tell you that google misses trails that are there, marks trails that don’t exist, and generally does a bad job of helping you plan and navigate hikes because it’s not meant to help you plan and navigate hikes.

Someone who did nothing wrong is dead. A bunch of other people who did nothing wrong are gonna pay out a massive lawsuit. The only person in this entire scenario who did anything wrong is going to get a long paid vacation for it.
Later that same day, another officer from the Las Cruces Police Department would turn himself in on a voluntary manslaughter charge in the August 2022 fatal shooting of a Black man who had left a gas station without paying for a beer
That’s right, on the very day one officer turned himself in for murder another officer from that same PD murdered this woman.
There is no law in America. Death squads wander the streets doing violence randomly and with impunity. No one is ever safe from being shot by the police.
Is there any good sites for audiobooks that aren’t behind private trackers? I have a great set up with normal ebooks but my wife’s job has here driving for multiple hours a day so she wants audiobooks and I can’t seem to find any consistent sites.
Sounds like you could save them buckets of money by redesigning their whole backend. They’d probably pay you idiot money to do so, in terms of seven figures per year at least for the cost and performance enhancements you seem to think are easily achievable.
the enshittification continues. how do you continue to grow when everyone is either already a customer or would never become one under any circumstances? you make the product worse and more expensive.
I choose to believe that Langle is a corruption of L’Angle, which itself is derived from a phrase meaning “The English”. I will neither be taking nor leaving questions.
wanted the federal government to override the rights of free states
made slavery mandatory rather than leaving it up to the states
tried to flat-out steal entire states using violence
Like every conservative, when they talk about freedom they’re only talking about their freedom to do what they want, and their freedom to make you do what they want using violence.
wait, I thought that it was covid and supply chains and such and actually that the profit motive encourages them to lower prices because competition and so on
Rye is a kind of whiskey, sure, but whiskey without qualifiers almost always refers to whiskey made with wheat. In America you may get corn whiskey (which is distinct from bourbon in that bourbon has to be more than half corn in the mash) but I’ll guarantee you could walk into a bar today and order “a shot of whiskey and a shot of rye” and the bartender would know what you meant and get you one shot of wheat whiskey and one shot of rye whiskey.
Also, the original meaning of whiskey is just “distilled liquor”. It comes from a Gaelic phrase that means “water of life” and only came to mean what we understand as whiskey because that’s how the people who created the term “whiskey” made their hard liquor.
It’s an awful lot like saying “water and sparkling water”. Sure, sparkling and flat are types of water but no one says “flat water”

I don’t want it, no. But the only two possible answers to extortion are to give up all of your power permanently to the person making the threats or to call them on it.
this was always the end stage of capitalism: one megacorporation that everyone rents everything from, permanently entrenched and either in bed with a government they’ve bought and paid for or so powerful on its own that government dare not attempt to do anything to regulate it.
So when Disney’s price hike doesn’t produce the amount of new money that selling the same thing is expected to produce do you think they’ll just take it on the chin and say “Oh well, we’re already very profitable and successful we dont need extra money” or do you think they’ll raise the price of Hulu while cutting the quality of service?

How ridiculous, to drug people into compliance. Now if you’ll just give me a second, I need to go get a Xanax to take the edge off the Adderall I took so that I could spend 14 hours today arranging the pattern of lights on this little rectangle on my desk. If I don’t, the police will tell me I have “excited delirium” and fill me full of ketamine until I die.
