That one’s super risky tho. I have about 50/50 on stomach acid intrusion.

Have you ever sneezed away your nausea? That’s a good one. Bewildering, but I’m not arguing.

Having read this the other day, it seems the lots for them are smaller so it’s still better than typical suburban sprawl, but yeah not by very much. It’s like duplexes, just without the shared walls.

At the same time, I totally understand the logic of the buyers. Condos and apartments really aren’t the same as having your own property that nobody really has say over but you. You can’t make big changes to a condo without approval of the building owner or whatever even though you “own it”, you share walls, and have no yard.

It’s just one more piece to the puzzle, it’s not meant to be -the-solution, just one of many.

They don’t care about any of that, silly.

They just need to make sure they harm enough POC for the month. Get there, golden.

The company filed a motion to dismiss on February 2, 2024, hitting back at accusations of unlawful business practices related to virtual currencies being non-transferable or refundable once game servers are switched off. As GameFile reported, the firm argued that the virtual currency does not belong to the player in the first place.

"VC is not plaintiff's property," Take-Two's lawyer said. "Instead, in-game VC are fictions created by game publishers, subject to the publishers' terms of service and user agreements.

"Plaintiff's claims to property ownership of VC within the games, as well as his suggestions that Defendants have an obligation to refund unredeemed VC or enable the transfer of VC from one of Defendants’ games to another, are merely conclusory (and wholly invented)."

So we are going to charge you real money for something, let’s call it “muny” to make it clear. You will then use that muny to buy things within the platform. But because we hid it behind a layer of code and changed the values arbitrarily, it’s suddenly not money it’s -FiCtIoN- even though it has a set conversion rate and value, and is used to purchase goods, and fuck you for trying to take back the unspent portion after we made it unspendable by taking the games down.

Fuck that, hope they lose. This sort of predatory bullshit needs to stop.

Around here people use them a lot when they start hitting traffic backups and slowing down, as well as when they hit a slippery patch, to alert other drivers to upcoming conditions.

It’s not due to being intimidated, it’s a courtesy.

I’ve literally never seen it not on sale so… no wonder..

It’s a cheap (in switch terms) game for parents to get their kids.

I feel like this would absolutely need to be just between the player and the dm.. or maybe just the dm plans it and the player is revealed later to be so monumentally stupid that various things just work out because the enemies were drained with nobody really realizing, or the idea was so dumb it worked after some major hyjinks - and the party the whole time would just be randomly failing stuff, but completely unaware of why because they still act like a normal sorc…

The drain would have to come with some sort of “unearned confidence boost” buff that would partially negate the effect for players, though, or it would be really hard to get much done.

I hope whomever claims the bounty also alerts the relevant platform. Perhaps they can get 2 bounties.

If you like what you hear, you should look into, and support, politicians who support a UBI (universal basic income) in your region!

But bear in mind that a UBI alone isn’t enough; because capitalism encourages greed, we also (regardless where you live) need socialized housing so landlords don’t just eat the full entitlement, and socialized healthcare so people can keep themselves healthy to do the things they want without going bankrupt. Those are by far the biggest spends for most people, and if we could get that in check, a UBI is a great equalizer, and could pull millions of households out of the worst of poverty.

It’s good for disabled people, so they can be much more independent, it’s good for retired people, so they can retire without worry, it’s good for parents, so they don’t have to choose between supporting the family and actually raising the family, and it’s good for society as a whole because those “nonproductives” now have economy stimulation power by not being flat broke.

I don’t see the ad ones since I have a pihole, but the articles that play some unrelated (or even related, idgaf) news video get the same treatment.

I did not consent to give you that mobile bandwidth, website, and that’s fucking rude. I have limited data cuz I’m a cheap fuck, and I don’t want to waste it on bullshit I don’t care about.

This depends very heavily on how you pick them up by the shell.

If you just grab the shell and pull, yes.

They can feel the touch on the shell though, and usually retreat into it when touched. When they do, if you slide them backward along their own slime trail (or if aquatic/wet surface, any direction), they lose suction and pop right off. No harm done.

I’ve never managed to kill a snail by handling, but I’m gentle about it.

That’s insane. I’m not trans or anything but I’ve used single stall bathrooms for whatever sex, and even family bathrooms if that’s all that’s available, who the fuck cares? Use what’s open. It’s unisex when it’s single toilet anyway. I will die on that hill.

Especially if one is out of service.. like, what would male employees use?
