There’s been a multiyear crusade to oust .ml from the Fediverse with demands that the developers relinquish their instance servers to a third party and/or stop developing Lemmy altogether. That’s not an irrelevant context here given it is usually the same routine players.

Is Flayra not pursuing legal action against Krafton over this?
My city closed a two block stretch of road for a day this week. Instead of a sign or cones, they had cops just park their cruisers across the lanes with their lights on and sat there all day.
Well the cops put some cones around their cruisers too, but this way about six got a full days salary, if not that overtime pay.
A bit, yeah. Same username then as today. I was with NSArmsLab and BAD Clan mostly those days.
Weird to think that was 20+ years ago.
I remember Flayra from Natural Selection, a half-life mod twenty years ago. I remember him making appeals for investors/donations to keep Unknown Worlds afloat (or maybe just launch it as a company. I recall a video he posted where he showed us his tiny apartment and the milk in his fridge.)
Then Subnautica came out years later and I thought ‘Well I’ll be damned.’
It felt like you weren’t expected to have companions in an evil playthrough. Even evil Shart and Lae’zel feel silly going along with the Absolute. Astarion and Minthara kinda worked but especially as DUrge it seemed goofy that companions stuck around the murderhobo camp.
This is MeanwhileOnGrad you’re writing in.
Zohran keeps things on policy, which is the only arena the personality cult and party faithful can’t go.
Honestly if these are the kinds of dregs they find still willing to serve the party line, I am a little encouraged.
In 1861 Russia abolished serfdom.
In 1961 Gagarin reached space.
It’s just barely implausible a person born a serf could have seen their descendant explore space.
The Palladium books I had were from the 70s so it felt more like a novel approach. But I love the mechanics and worldbuilding of RPGs in general, pen and paper or otherwise, so all in all I enjoy the adaptive homebrews just as much.
I never got a campaign off the ground, but Palladium had, I thought, a great system.
I loved the approach to alignment (good, selfish, evil) and awarding xp for roleplaying, clever ideas, and problem solving, rather than simply killing an enemy.
I have a steak maybe once a year, usually as a sudden or persistent craving. But other than that it was amazingly easy to convert to poultry for all my regular recipes. Very easy step to make without much thought.
Reducing dairy is my dietary wall.
Putin’s power draws from his adversaries and foreign policy. He is very weak domestically, mostly at the behest of the oligarchs that run the entire domestic policy show.
Putin muscling around internally usually has to do with the oligarch’s stance on foreign policy or the other oligarchs are wanting to eat one of their own.
Obligatory response to this meme e’er time, “Sigh, if it’s on septic its massively expensive infrastructure the tenant will be held liable for 10/10 times, and will only render one less living space habitable. And if it’s on sewer it’s punishing the public’s wastewater treatment facility.”
Aand resume.
The last scraps of the warehouses are being empyied out.
Also with labor shortages even the product that gets harvested ends up languishing in poor storage at various stages before it reaches the store. Instead of a quick pickup with a refigerated semi, you’re getting vans a few hours late. The boxes sit in the field for longer, etc. (Anecdote from a berry farm in my area.)
It was a conversation from a year ago, so without context I believe I was speaking then about a viable strategy that worked: bringing a left wing policy (at the time healthcare reform) to the conservatives and red states.
The Democratic Party abandoned that strategy since. They still made overtures to appeal to conservatives and red states, but they’ve done it through adopting rightwing, divisive policies. And then they don’t even run a US Senate race is Nebraska.
Look, I know you’ve long ago tagged me the tankie and yourself as the chad, it’s whatever. But you need to stop calling yourself a shitlib.
There will be two main deflections by the ruling class for recouperation: faulting Garcia and criticizing UFW. Immigrant at fault, union bad.
