I said that because they did add some minor side quests that were almost finished at some point I think.

That game was wild, I remember putting a bunch of hogtied Confederate remnant guys into shallow muddy water and watching them struggle to keep their heads up so they didn't drown.

That's in the game from the start. I think the first time I played I was still a bit of a lib and went "I'll leave him to die a sad broken man" the second time I let my sawn-off bark.

He was hiding his power levels during the election...they were much lower.

Apparently he might be a Yang Guy because all would be US assassins these days have incomprehensible centrist politics.

I had of course explained Welcome to Dorley Hall to them 10minutes earlier, so they also agreed "basement"...

Shapiro is a real ghoul, former IDF, super pro-Israel etc

But also given he's a Jewish Governor in a swing state that went Red for Trump, I'm thinking the bomb throwers were probably Nazis so that's not great either.

My grandfather was from the so called "greatest generation". He was "handy" and refused to get help fixing anything. Cue everything in his house just being fixed with masking tape. TV panel fell off? Tape it back. Hole in wall? Tape over it? Nothing couldn't be fixed with masking tape.

It was dogshit and sometimes you have get people who know what they're doing to help.

My sibling was telling me about a hateful bumble message they got from a man, I muttered "basement...", I'm pretty Dorleypilled.

Weirdly true. Source is dog shit (Radio Free Europe), but a combination of the non-aligned movement and loving basketball made Serbs pretty chill with most other people except those also from the Balkans.

All the other former Yugoslav nations scoring well too except North Macedonia.

Yeah definitely Yugoslavia was in the Balkens not Eastern Europe, and non aligned movement not Warsaw Pact. It's more like if China broke apart and there was a restoration of "liberal democracy" and oligarchs etc, then Vietnam broke out in a Civil War due to US meddling economically, politically and covertly.

I thought you had to change them almost monthly cause they get "cored"?

Oh I meant an unopened vial can sit on a shelf for 5 years and doesn't take up much room, if people can afford to plan that far in advance. "Coring" is real but also kind of overblown, there's techniques and equipment to reduce the chances, the more concerning thing is discoloration etc that suggests containments have entered or the vial has gone bad. I don't do DIY HRT but have investigated it a bunch in case things turn sour here in Australia.

Would actually be interested in reading more about this

Trans people throughout history have come up with ways to have gender affirming care. One particular group are the Enarei from ancient Scythia, who were feminised Priestesses assigned male at birth. It's speculated they would consume Licorice and Black Coshosh, herbs that have anti-androgenic effects (post-menopausal women take black cohosh even now as a supplements). Pregnant mare's have large amounts of estrogen in their urine. One of the first modern HRT medications was Premarin derived from Mare's piss. The concentrations were still quite low, so they would be fermented sometimes into beer, sometimes into cheese.

Edit: Sorry the wikipedia sucks because they don't mention all the HRT stuff, I'll try to remember a good source, but that's the name for example of a group to look into.
