They put it up to vote so the will of the people can be heard.

The majority vote in favor of legalized abortion and minimum wage increases.

Then they withhold the implementation of both.

Fucking hate this shit.

I would think and hope that, but evidence tends to point to the contrary.

A quick search brings up multiple articles including:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/01/nsa-finally-admits-to-spying-on-americans-by-purchasing-sensitive-data/

Guess those EULAS we all agreed to but never read had some sneaky language about what they can do with the data.

If I had to guess, obtaining the data by force may require a court order or legal process.

Buying data that someone else is willingly selling bypasses those steps.

Your thought process makes sense and your effort to change when asked is appreciated =)

Not a bad idea, I have a cargo van with blocked out rear windows and my back-up camera set to display 24/7 while driving, I find it helpful.

Like the other poster mentioned, I wired to power as opposed to the back up light so it would come on when I press a button rather than when I set it into reverse - but it was an aftermarket camera I installed and not a factory camera.

You may want to see if anyone on a Chevy/GMC truck forum has had luck with the rewiring if it’s factory.

Best of luck!

I got curious so I did some searching:

Wyman divorced Reagan in 1949, Reagan married Nancy Davis in 1952

So not entirely accurate to say he divorced his first wife to marry another (by some accounts, Wyman divorced him and moved on).

That being said, fuck Reagan all the same.

I took Spanish-for-Spanish-Speakers in public school so my experience may be different.

“Spanish-Spanish” (Castillian-Spanish, Castellano) is pretty easy universally understood and accepted as a “proper” Spanish. It seemed to work well despite our mixed nationalities in the class (Cuban, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, and a few more but those are first that came to mind.)

Good news is, there’s no wrong answers here.

If I had to take a stab in the dark, you may be bi/pan. You can still find the “feminine” form more attractive, be selective about what kind of “masculine” form you find attractive, you may exclusively want to top (feeling of control, like you mentioned). It’s all valid!

Furthermore, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about enjoying casual sex (or sex for money/content) so long as you’re TRULY happy/comfortable/enjoying yourself and try to find a way out the moment you’re not.

To me it doesn’t seem terribly odd that two people may form a very strong non-romantic bond (friendship/brotherhood-like relationships) that end up having good sexual chemistry. The important thing is that you’re honest with your partner and yourself at all times about how you feel.

TLDR; If it feels right, don’t overthink it. We humans are too interesting to fit in neat little boxes.

Sold to consumers as “immersion” but likely makes money on the back end from advertising.

I also imagine it creates a game preservation issue if there was some sort of disagreement or failure to extend contract. I believe that’s what happened with music licenses so I’m imagining it may be similar with in game advertising?

Full disclosure this is mostly speculation, I’m not entirely sure how all of it truly works.

Great observation and excellent point!

Lacuna Coil, Otep, and Arch Enemy immediately come to mind, but you are correct - feminine representation is a small minority in metal.
