How can you make a list of the best eat the rich movies without the movie Eat The Rich? How can lemmy stand for this when the movie stars Lemmy of Motorhead?

The biggest consequence was a settlement payment to those mistreated. Which didn't come out of the police budget or pension so basically they got to force the taxpayer to bail them out for their incompetence after the government already paid over a billion dollars for extra security.

I started a permanent loblaws boycott this week. Won't be shopping at any of the other big names either. Preparing to participate in the boycott led me to sign up for a co op that I should've been using all along and I don't see myself ever going back. Anything they don't carry I can get at a local independent grocer and they're usually a little cheaper than no frills anyway.

Co ops are a solution to corporate greed, use them whenever possible.

I think taping her own mouth shut is her way of proving the wolf wasn't tortured. She's completely oblivious to the pain of the animal being run over, then dragged around while injured and restrained. It should come as no surprise that she supports the actions of the monster she created.

So this is why I began review bombing Dragons Dogma 2. I was doing a quest with an extremely unclear objective and I thought maybe killing a certain snarky NPC would progress it. So I carefully saved before attacking the npc. Killing the npc didn't work so I tried to reload my file, only to find the game autosaved the second I killed the npc. The game only allows two saves, one you kinda control that gets autosaved over A LOT, and one from when you last rested in an inn. Resting at an inn is somewhat expensive and just worse than camping overall, so I hadn't used an inn within the last 8 hours of play.

I distinctly got the vibe that it was designed that way on purpose. You can revive NPCs, but the item to do so is rare and limited unless you pay real money. A lot of the quests seem designed to encourage mistakes that will make you consider giving them more money in order to fix. Its like an MBA came by at the end and editted everything in game to make it as sleazy as possible. The saddest part is that if they took that aspect away and added some small bug fixes, it would legitimately be a 10/10 game.

My update told me as much. OP's likely did too. But it is usually a lot harder to manufacture outrage when you have a full picture and manufacturing outrage is the best way to get exposure on social media.

Well since they can't reach that speed without being in the air, technically they're the fastest animals OFF Earth.

I keep a light up plastic sword beside my bed for this very reason. The same fun for a tenth of the cost and it hangs nicely on my towel rack while I pee.

Most tree planters would agree. The industry has a high rate turnover so half the people who do it don't stick around long enough to really wrap their minds around how bad it is. I spent over a decade in the industry and planted a little over 1.3 million in that time, but I don't tell people about it IRL because I got sick and tired of cringing with my entire being every time someone thanked me for it.

The saddest part is that in my experience, companies doing carbon credits or naturalization projects do a far worse job than the logging companies. We had a recurring contract with the carbon farmer where we went to the same fields year after year and planted trees that immediately died due to poor stock selection and ground preparation. They don't have the regulation and oversight that the logging companies do. They also profit from convincing people to pay them to plant so it is in their best interests those trees die so they can maximize their profits with less land use.

You can actually have more fun with sturgeon than the Germans!Sturgeon still live naturally throughout North America but are extinct in Germany. They only get to experience the glory of these dinosaur fish through pictures, we have them in our rivers and lakes. They're one of our most interesting freshwater species as well, check em out if you enjoy learning about nature!

Low understanding is an understatement. I have heard too many neighbours refer to it as a trucker strike and state they actually came close to deposing Trudeau because that's what facebook told them. I hope I've convinced a few of them to start getting their news from actual journalists, but I'm not very confident.
