Sounds like those statistics output would the heavily biased by whatever process you were using to turn names into genders. In short, a bad idea.

Nihilistic optimism or bust.

I'm still working on the optimism.

I find most of the boss battles unsatisfyingly hard, but I actually think it's a little bit more "chill" than Stardew, for just hanging out an growing/building stuff. I don't have to worry about birthdays or 2am passing out. But, I guess you do have to fortify against goblin/pirate invasions after a while.

I agree the Terraria doesn't have a hook for the player, really. You have to explore to find out what there is at all. Stardew does at least introduce you to the main activities, while still rewarding exploration.

I have more time in Stardew, and have never beaten Terraria. But, I haven't played the most recent versions of either.

"there can be only one" is a common saying from the Highlander series of movies and TV shows, which refers to an in-universe event where "immortals" (they can be killed by decapitation) feel compelled to "the gathering" and slay each other until the last one receives "the gift".

The series is named "Highlander" because the protagonist in the first movie, Connor MacLeod, is an immortal from the highlands of Scotland and often called "the highlander" by immortals, since he may be living under a different name (because even in fiction paperwork is a bitch).

Outside of the series, "highlander" variants of various games exist which impose a limit of a single instance of a card/token/spell/action where the standard rules have a higher limit or no limit.

Polydactyly is not uncommon in feral cats, but I have no information about the provenience of the photo.

I am not AI spam. I am sometimes stupid.

Anyone got a link to the motion? Surely it's a public record, right? This is interesting if true, but I'd like to check the sources.

Sorry if I missed it in the rest of the comments; I scanned them and didn't see it.

As part of getting an FFL, you effectively waive that right; the ATFE can drop by the address on the license, unscheduled, for inspection, and if you don't let them in, your FFL we be immediately rescinded, and nearly any judge will approve a search warrant for that location over the phone in minutes.

We could do the same for individual owners, just like dealers, and there would be supporting precedent. (But, it would certainly be subject to judicial (including SCOTUS) review.)

If informed, consenting patients could receive the medications they want without gatekeepers, I might be convinced this is a good thing. I certainly don't think surgeons should be forced to perform acts they feel are immoral.

But, we've set up a system of gatekeepers (yes, for safety) and their collective morality should not prevent me from medicating myself. Until we figure out a (public and patient) safety system for medication that doesn't have gatekeepers AND that system is implemented, doctors should not be able to refuse someone medication without a medical justification.

I also feel that most doctors operate very close to a "public accommodation", so should be affected by the same non-discrimination laws that affect restaurants (even fancy ones where you have to book months in advance). That might not be every doctor, but it should cover enough. In that case treatments, including surgeries, can be avoided on moral grounds, but not denied based on the patient's protected class(es).

I haven't seen that used as a motto by a consistent group that might also have a longer explainer.

But, presumably, it would force all rental agreements to be replaced with mortgages. Presumably, hotel/motels could still provide long-term non-mortgage housing, but they have a good amount of regulation and generally provide services currently landlords do not.

Alternatively, it might be non-literal motto that doesn't want to abolish landlords, but rather to more severely regulate them.

I seed, but I'm behind a NAT I don't control without port forwarding, so I'm not a good seed.

Maybe I will do the seedbox VPS thing... after I get employed again.

A living wage in #Arkansas, one of the cheapest/poorest states is between $22 and $23 per hour.

Democrats won't, but they could campaign on 30$/hr (25$/hr tipped), and then be "reasonable" and "negotiate" down to passing a living federal wage based on the cheapest/poorest state, adjusted each year on labor day to ensure it is a living wage. (It would still exceed 15$/hr.)

I would love to flee to a blue-r area. Somewhere where sharing with my neighbors and participating in community doesn't feel like supporting racism and misogyny.

But, I have a disabled family member that needs care in their home, so ... for now my sense of familial duty keeps me in a very red area.
