Ok, why aren't the papers already full of those stories then? Old people die all the time. If the stories are guaranteed regardless of the governments actions, why are you bothered about the optics at all? They're going to be the same no matter what.
Trump is assassinated but it's too late to take him off the ballots, so wins the sympathy vote
Are you honestly proposing that an increase in cold related deaths beyond expected levels during a cold snap is more likely to be explained by thousands of OAP's just happening to forget to turn the heating on, rather than them not being able to afford it?
This is such a beautifully engineer response to legal requirements.

If you add a "kairi" in there and keep going for 2 minutes you get the intro to the Riku fight in hollow bastion. Not that it's been engraved in my memories or anything.
That's right, Klezmer, the traditional Ashkenazi wedding music. They also cite Serious Sam as inspiration.
people just don't forgive or forget easily (especially if there is a cold snap and the papers fill with stories of pensioners dying because they can't afford to turn the heating on).
This is a really sketchy phrasing of "if Labour cuts kill pensioners". People remember when government policies kill their family members, it's not just a matter of optics.
They don't. One of the many, many things that sucks about D&D is that it's the most recognised, so people think it's a good place to start with TTRPGs.
It's not. It has most of the complexity of a crunchy game like PF2e, but no mechanical unification, so every action has its own rule, rather than similar actions just being small variants on the same. Rules are often specific, applying only to certain situations, but still vague, forcing the DM to decide how they're actually meant to be applied. Similarly, it's very crunchy and combat focused but combat is pretty barebones, just being a case of standing in front of an enemy and hitting it until one of you falls over. Could be either you or the enemy, the balance is skewed at best.
As if there weren't enough mechanical problems, the lore stagnated after 3.x, and wasn't that deep even then; The Forgotten Realms setting in particular is extremely barebones once you're off the Sword Coast, and regularly leans all the way over to downright offensive. Like ye olde minstral show racism in stuff printed in the last 5 years. And they charge you a fucking arm and a leg for everything, so, like you say, you need to pay like $150 just to play in a homebrew setting.
You don't want to play D&D. If you do, you want to play Pathfinder 2e, Savage Worlds, or Shadow of the Demon Lord/Weird Wizard instead. Pathfinder in particular has great fey lore, even if you pick a different system it'd be worth looking at Kingmaker for fey storyline ideas.
What you probably want is something like Fate or Monster of the Week, a more storytelling focused system that isn't so balanced around parties. FitD games would also be worth looking at.
What do you think makes it not a moba? High TTK, lanes, creeps, creep denial, towers, the shop, levelling, it's basically DOTA with third person and guns.
They're gonna pretend his biggest controversy was "covfefe" like they pretend Obama's was the tan suit.

I'd say only Spy and Heavy have particularly strong cases for not being ND.
Couple of small issues with that idea: can't hide from the big fiery sauron eye, and nazguls on pteradactyls.
It features an entire open world area dedicated to killing capitalists. One of the other major factions are explicitly blood and soil fascists. Why would Hexbears not be Warframe players?
I've got someone banned for not respecting proper disengage etiquette, so it's definitely enforced when reported.
Article 3, part 8 (b) and (c) are the most clearly breached sections:
8.The indiscriminate use of weapons to which this Article applies is prohibited. Indiscriminate use is any placement of such weapons:
(a) which is not on, or directed against, a military objective. In case of doubt as to whether an object which is normally dedicated to civilian purposes, such as a place of worship, a house or other dwelling or a school, is being used to make an effective contribution to military action, it shall be presumed not to be so used; or
(b) which employs a method or means of delivery which cannot be directed at a specific military objective; or
(c) which may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated.
My guess would be the shockwave disperses the fuel and deprives it of oxygen, like blowing out a really really big candle.
You should stop believing, that's just a fact.
Huh, I'd been wondering earlier today if it would be possible for Gold Apollo to sue Israel for reputational damages. Guess I have my answer.
I just want to be absolutely clear here, to make sure that you fully understand the question, because your answer suggests you don't: It's not couple of weeks a year, it's just a couple of weeks, right at the start, and it's not a holiday, you have to look after the baby at its most helpless during those extra weeks of leave. Are you sure that you consider a few extra weeks of looking after a child to be worth 18 years of looking after the child? Like I'm not doing a silly hypothetical where I ask if you consider yourself more or less likely to consider having a child in future, I am asking you, personally, if you will be having a child and raising it should men recieve more paternal leave.

Dr. Rachael Louise “Raygun” Gunn is a lecturer at Macquarie University, Australia, who has extensively studied and participated in the Sydney breaking (more commonly known as break dancing) scene. Her work has primarily focused on studying social dynamics in the breaking scene from feminist and queer perspectives: https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=LLebtn8AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=sra. Gunn has also demonstrated outstanding ability in the breaking scene, having won numerous competitions across Oceania and garnering wide respect from other Australian breakers. Gunn has also been widely reported as having a background in Jazz, Tap dancing, and Ballroom dancing.
I put it to you that Rachael Gunn is intimately familiar with breaking, to a much higher degree than most breakers, having both personal and academic experience with the scene. Her academic work breaking down elements of the scene indicate a detailed understanding of the moves, speech, social and cultural contexts, modes of dress, relationship with gender, and numerous other individual aspects. She also has a detailed understanding of her relationship to the scene, having written a paper titled The ethics of living a double life: rethinking ownership, authenticity, and identity in hip hop culture, and spoken in interviews of being white and middle class in a scene that grew from socially impressed minorities.
So how could someone with the demonstrated knowledge and ability of Raygun not score a single point at all, having reached the Olympics as the highest scoring competitive b-girl in Oceania? Indeed, Martin Gillian, head breaking judge at the Olympics, praised her performance, and she's received extensive support from the breaking community in defence of her routine, so a score of zero seems impossibly unlikely.
The inclusion of breaking at the Olympic games was a controversial topic ahead of its debut, primarily due to concerns over the corporatization and dilution of breaking culture inclusion would bring, and was widely criticised by the breaking community. One person who studied the divide in opinions was Dr Rachael L Gunn, who in 2023 published The Australian breaking scene and the Olympic Games: The possibilities and politics of sportification, which criticised the IOC and WDSF’s implementation and homogenisation of the scene. From the conclusion of the paper:
>[...] the concerns are centred on the impact upon culture, and a potential loss of agency and self-determination. Isolated from neighbouring countries, and consisting of distinct, localized scenes guided by individual agents, top-down decision-making led by the WDSF already impacts the social organization, identities and hierarchies of respect within the Australian breaking scene.
>While sport and the Olympics are framed as ‘great equalizers’, the exclusivity of Australia’s sporting institutions along gendered, class and racialized lines means that breaking’s sportification may in fact impact the accessibility of breaking. While the ABA aims to ensure that Australian breakers retain self-determination and agency through this Olympic process, there are many obstacles that come with the introduction of concepts like governance, transparency and accountability. Making global what is essentially a localized practice invariably requires standardization, homogeneity, professionalism and risks further moving breaking away from its African American and Latin cultural traditions and histories.
I put it to you that Raygun's olympic performance was in fact carefully calculated to show off breaking without meeting a single olympic criteria, as a protest against the inclusion of the sport, choosing to show breaking off as an artistic medium rather than athletic one. Using movements that were specifically contextual to Australia's presence in an international space, her performance was a criticism of the IOCs attempt to represent breaking as a gymnastic sport rather than artistic expression, and directly intended to sabotage the inclusion of breaking - and expected resulting gentrification of the scene - in the Olympics. Currently it has been confirmed that the 2028 Olympic Games will not feature breaking, and there are currently no plans to include it in the 2032 Games. Raygun wins.
Please commit to your words and actions. Commit to the fucking turn you were going to make right in front of me, before stamping on the brakes at the last second. Commit to a fight after challenging me on not risking my life around your shitty driving.
Do I "want to fucking go"? You have no idea how much I want to fucking go. I have to cycle around idiots like you all day, if you step out of your armoured wankmobile i am going to sink my teeth into your flesh and not let go. I will bite your flabby fucking tits off. I will beat you with my fists and helmet and entire fucking bike until a kind samaritan pulls over to drag me away from your limp body.
Anyway, if I ever mysteriously stop posting you should be able to dox me by googling "cyclist eats driver UK".
I originally found this single among my dad's collection as a 12 year old, just learning how to use his record player and having no idea what the switch labelled 33-45 was for. I still think the slow version is better - 0.75 speed on the player will get you close enough. Anyway a couple of years ago I found out DJ Fresh had done the same thing on purpose around the same time, and somehow I never knew.
Why can't it be something fun like swapping surnames and then creating a portmaneau or blended name for the kids.

Fresh out of the Scrabble game, get 'em while they're hot.
Looks like Palworld has established "game that shouldn't have guns (with guns)" as a genre, so what games are we looking forward to seeing the treatment? Animal Crossing with guns? Football Manager with guns? Disco Elysium with guns?
When we moved in our neighbours told us he had moved in with his girlfriend years ago and not sold the house, on the basis that the relationship might not work out and he'd need somewhere to move back to.
Has it been long enough to say his relationship worked out and I can knock the wall through to steal his bedroom to expand my own? I'd like more space and with my desk and wardrobe this room is pretty cramped.
I'm 10 or so hours in and have stolen high tech from a corporation (cool), resurrected a dead terrorist (possibly cool, still don't know his motivations), and drive-by-hacked various cops' cyberware while travelling the city (funny).
Outside of that, the side content seems to be entirely social services oriented. Batman the cyberpsychos. Judge Dredd the crimes in progress. Ambulance a guy to a doctor. Social Worker a cop having a mental breakdown. Chat to various people. Is there some sort of "do cool crimes" set of side content that I've missed, or did CDPR just make another sheriff sim?

And if it's big enough for an 8 year old to ride it's actually a miniature cow.
She's dreadfully propagandised, too proud to apply for all the benefits she should be claiming as a single mother, and isn't interested in politics, but when I got into work at lunchtime she asked me for a rundown of the Isn'treal/Palestine conflict because she trusts my takes more than the media's.
Took a few tries for her to get which were Jewish and which were Arab, but eventually reached the conclusion that she has sympathy for Israelis desire for their own country, but they can't have someone else's country so she supports the Palestinian struggle for freedom.
Once the kid gets old enough to look after itself and she moves in with her girlfriend she'll have time to become radicalised, but for now this is good progress.
- All trans women should be armed
- All immigrants should receive free iphones
- The trans women should hunt cops
- The immigrants should film it
- the trans men and nonbinaries should edit Benny Hill music and mXc commentaries over the footage and release it as a wacky new reality TV show
I will not be accepting suggestions or edits.
