In the same way a person could claim they were unlucky if their highly insured spouses kept dying.

Nobody wants that suspicion on them.

This is a good, easy-to-understand summary of the act and its consequences.

The even shorter tl;dr:
Registering to vote will become much more difficult for millions of people. Joe Blo should care because he might be affected, and even if not, many friends and neighbors will be. Trump cares because he believes that difficulty will be concentrated on women, minorities, and the socially disadvantaged in a way that is beneficial to him personally.

Anyone, regardless of party or other policy positions, who commits to sending this asshat to The Hague in January 2029 will get my vote.

Weird how unlimited time away from work and good, unlimited healthcare can extend a person's life.

I wonder if there's a lesson to be learned there....

Bowling for Soup got it right. High School never ends.

There are some vague references in the article, but the rot runs deep on this launch.

As I understand it, EA sent out review copies to lots of streamers and reviewers who were enthusiastic about there not being microtransactions in single player. Those were added last second for retail copies, turning their biggest supporters into liars with no credibility. The boycott started with the streamers who were facing backlash caused entirely by EA.

It's less "players are done with microtransactions" (though that is a factor) and more "people don't like being lied to."

You can probably sue the state for things that are actively harmful, like creating dangerous roads. But a lawsuit trying to set different priorities in revenue and spending isn't going to get very far. Setting tax rates is fundamentally political. That's the entire purpose of a state legislature, so the remedy is at the ballot box.

TBH, I wouldn't want a random selection of unelected people from my state (a jury) to be able to have the power to decide tax rates.

Not a doctor, but I can think of two possibilities:

  1. Some vitamins and medications are water soluble, so taking them with water helps make sure it all gets into your system instead of being excreted.

  2. 2L isn't very much for a full day. People are different, but even 2.5L/day is a little low for many healthy adults. This may be their way of getting you to make sure you're staying hydrated but framing it as a health necessity rather than just a recommendation. Even without the medication, 2L is probably a bare minimum for most people.

I've almost spent the $15 each on Tunic and Sea of Stars more than once. This might finally be the time to grab them.

Just because a 3060ti is technically capable of ray tracing doesn't mean I want you to keep turning it on every time the driver gets an update.

"Don't make a wrong move," the officer said as he pinned the struggling subject to the ground. "Period."

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.

The officer pressed his weight into the subject's small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.
