This is you donating to the non-profit. You get the tax break, the company does not. I'm so sick of this misinformation because nobody actually donates on their own, which is why non-profits partner with companies for fundraising.
It's on your receipt, you get the tax break. As simple as that.
They have been known to live in lakes, and when they do they dig dens under the shoreline.
The reason they don't like the sound of running water is the same reason we don't like to hear the sound of unexplained running water in our homes, it's a sign of a leak. The only difference is for them it's instinctual, and for us we understand the consequences of a leak in our home.
The picture is from old footage of a nuclear bomb test. The long shadow is cast by the flash of the explosion and this is right before the shockwave hits and levels the house.
This War of Mine. Honestly can't believe nobody else has mentioned it.
You play as a group of civilians in a war torn country. By day you craft things needed for survival like a stove for cooking, guns for protection, barricades to prevent raiders. At night you send one person with a backpack to scavenge an area of your choice for things like food, medicine, supplies etc. The others will either sleep or guard the property. Things you do while scavenging have real effects on your characters. Decided to rob an elderly couple? Your characters will react based on their personality.
Things become grim fast if you decide to start robbing supplies or get attacked. Your players get sick, become depressed, starve, get hurt etc. I've never made it to the end.
It's a great way to understand the struggles of being a civilian in a war. The Polish government actually recommends it for educational purposes and the devs have donated a lot of proceeds to charities serving people impacted by war, including Ukraine most recently.
There are dirty dictionaries you can buy. I used to have a Spanish one, wouldn't be surprised if they had other language ones too.
There's no state that allows recreational purchase under 21. Vapes are considered a tobacco product regardless of nicotine content and also require you to be 21.
This doesn't account for the work they had to do at home. They had their own food to harvest, animals to tend to, clothes to make and the materials to make those clothes didn't fall out of the sky. They had to chop firewood, mend the home, cook the food from scratch. Their mandatory holidays weren't spent pursuing a hobby, traveling, playing games or consuming entertainment. Those days off just meant they could do all the work they needed to do at home instead of doing all the church's work on top of their own.

Illinois doesn't even rate in the top half of states.
Between 2008 and 2016 115 domestic terror incidents were far-right inspired, 19 were far-left.
Since 9/11 73% of violent extremist incidents that resulted in deaths were caused by right wing radicalism.
From the KKK, to Oklahoma City, to Jacksonville and El Paso, the vast majority of politically/religious motivated gun violence were far-right inspired.
Some Vines are so deeply embedded in my memory that I'm sure I'll still be able to quote them even after the dementia has destroyed my ability to recognize my loved ones.
In hospice, surrounded by grieving loved ones saying their last goodbyes, the nurse watching on as I'm drifting away confused and irritable, doing their best to ensure my passing is as comfortable as possible, with my last breath I'll mutter "road work ahead? Yeah I sure hope it does"...
Maybe you should read it. You do understand that electromagnetic radiation and ionizing radiation (which is what this symbol means ☢️) are different right? Their phones aren't radioactive, they emit electromagnetic radiation, similar to how a heater emits thermal radiation, and a speaker emits acoustic radiation.
Similar to Music theory. It's not absolutely necessary to write good music, but understanding it allows you to be more purposeful in your writing and know why certain things work and when to break the "rules" for an effect.
