The things that make us hate it is how they make so much money.

Chef, a British sitcom, is a masterclass in insults. John Cleese is an insulting savant. There are diamonds in that rough, but wit is a feature of brains, while bigotry and bullying is a feature of no brains.

I really enjoy Star Citizen as it is right now. They push out huge updates every quarter so it's getting better and better. I paid $45 and have hundreds of hours of fun. The energy people spend hating this game, inventing conpiracies, and circle jerking misinformation is super irritating. The hive mind's assumptions are wrong, the lived experiences of a growing number of players is fact. This game would have gone bust long ago if it wasn't fun, a scam, or not making steady progress. Instead it's revenue and player counts go up every year. The people who try it stick around more often than not.

That's not money so it's inconceivable to foreign relations pundits.

That's anecdotal, not data.

Fair, ha ha, for this publication. But subscription news as a concept is just dystopic.

I loved the original, anyone here have it on Epic that can tell me if I should buy this?

This goes back to Thatcher's implementation of Reaganomics. Cut services and taxes, turn the economy into the lawless wild west, blame government for the resulting shitty life for workers as justification to further cut services asnd taxes. 2008 was just feul for the fire.

This must have been before my time. My generation was all about Café Des Rêves.

If your medical situation impacts your life in any way, that's a disability. Being short sighted is a disability, having chronic diarrhea or headaches is a disability. Having a disability and being disabled should be the same thing in common speech, but confusingly, it is not. You are disabled if you experience significant barriers to everyday life because of medical circumstances. If you believe that's you, then you are free to identify as disabled.

Another confusing wrench is governmental disability designations. The definition changes from region to region based on politics, not medicine. This is only a metric of whether or not you require the services available to you in your region. It is not your identity and does not mean you are not disabled or don't deal with disabilities just because some underfunded ministry rejected your application.

So in short, you get to identify as disabled if you feel the label is helpful, it's not something doctors use because any medical impediment is a disability. It's more a social term than a medical one.
