If you divide the sides up to “people who care about this stuff” and “people who just want to make games”, then yeah. One side’s doing okay.

Frankly, nobody that’s involved in this fight are looking good to me on either “side.” It’s a fight that shouldn’t be happening at all. This is a game engine. Why is it a battleground for this?

Good point! OP, are you eating on the restaurant’s open-air patio? Perhaps chemtrail chemicals are filtering down into your food from the sky.

Did you sign up for any life insurance policies with her recently? Add her to your will? Is she currently borrowing something and has mentioned “jokingly” about how she’d really like to keep it?

Not a high probability, mind you, but since the subject was raised…

Fun fact! When the effect on your health is negative instead of positive it’s known as the nocebo effect.

…

Well, I thought that fact was fun…

If it was completely sterile and artificial then I’d expect mummies instead of skeletons, there must have been some kind of bugs to munch up the leathery meat layer.

Kudos to the artist for putting clothing on the skeletons. So often pictures like this just have a skeleton sitting there and I’m left wondering why they were naked when they died.

You do need to think about the economy, though. People aren’t going to accept environmental regulations that will significantly impact their quality of life, that has to be taken into account if you are in a democracy.

Yeah. IIRC the only out-of-pocket costs from my whole experience was the occasional cafeteria food and the parking fees.

Of course, none of this is to say that we shouldn’t always strive to be better. There’s always room to improve, if only because medical technology itself is steadily improving so we need to keep up with that. But it’s good to recognize that the situation’s really not all that bad as it is right now.

Ignoring the weird pill-related part, the rest of your comment is actually sound. There are genuine medical benefits to be had, at least for males. I don’t know if there’s equivalents for women, but I recall reading a study that found that regular ejaculation significantly reduces the chances of prostate cancer later in life.

Everybody should be free to feel comfortable with their own bodies, IMO. Society’s concerns should only matter when it comes to interactions with others.

Given that this is the Internet it’s a relatively safe assumption to go “aw no he’s going to be made fun of.”

I’m pleasantly surprised that this doesn’t appear to be the case this time, though. Every once in a while there’s a good surprise.

I’ll gladly take the karmic hit on your behalf and wish it on Kissinger twice. Once going out, then again going back in.

Albertan here. A couple of years back my brother and my dad both died of cancer (an unrelated coincidence) and I had the same experience - there was never a moment of stress about money. There also never felt like there were any untoward delays; when a situation was urgent we were able to jump straight to the surgery/MRI/whatever. There were a few times where we had to wait a few weeks for an appointment, but those were always the low-priority or followup things.

I know a lot of people think of Alberta as “North Texas” and imagine it’s an American-style hellscape, but even if it might be a little below the general Canadian standards on some things it’s nowhere near. It’s important to be aware of the baselines that things are measured relative to.

Things change. There was a period before this information was easily available; this repository only goes back to 2013. Now there’s a period after this information, too. Things start and eventually they end.

Here’s hoping that some neat new things start up in its place.

It’s often not a choice between an AI-generated summary and a human-generated one, though. It’s a choice between an AI-generated summary and no summary.

Could it perhaps be that online communities are in bubbles that focus primarily on his failures and downvote into oblivion any mention of successes he might have had?

…

No, it must be the money that’s wrong.

So, are the people saying “Trump is fine…” lying through their teeth? Maybe they should swap him for a different candidate, like Biden?

Nah, a lich is a wizard who returns to life by binding his soul to a phylactery. Jesus was a cleric, so he came back as a mummy lord.

Decay turns carbon into carbon dioxide, a gas. Unless it’s injected into deep geological structures it doesn’t stay underground.

Roots rot too. Otherwise the ground underneath forests would have hundreds of meters of accumulated root mass built up over the millennia.
