It makes me nauseous that my government is responsible for this senseless horror. The military can make no claim to honor when they bomb unarmed men clinging desperately to the burning wreck of the boat that was already illegally bombed.

Don’t stick your dick in crazy.

Oh yeah, dad did say that he wasn’t taught anything like that until he went to OTS.

That’s what my dad always told me when I was growing up as a brat; refusing to obey an illegal order isn’t a choice, it’s a requirement. You must not follow illegal orders, if you do you are committing a crime.

AOW4 being the one exception for me.

I didn’t actually finish the 7.0 MSQ (I quit shortly after the awful “western” storyline), but the actual writing was painfully bad at every point leading up to that. For example, the way we know Wuk Lamat has grown as a person is because they say “Wuk Lamat has really grown through this adventure”. Most characters appear to have the motivation of dong things because the plot needs it to happen.

Finally, the prior expansions had strong themes, from Heavensword’s take on cyclical violence, SB talking about oppression and so on. Dawntrail doesn’t seem to have anything to say (or maybe it’s all at the end, idk). It was just really disappointing and I just couldn’t deal with it. It’s like it was written for children except it deals with dark themes. Like the worst of the YA section.

By contrast, I was a blubbering mess at points in ShB and EW. Especially the 5.3 stuff, holy shit.

And then turns to garbage at the 400 hour mark. Dawntrail actually made me quit due to some of the worst writing I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing in a game. Serious whiplash coming off the fourth expansion.

They have 93% of the market, they don’t care about people who use Windows.

It is so predictable that conservatives would end up in “Pedophilia isn’t that bad” once it became undeniable that Great Leader raped little girls.

Paid for by alcohol industry groups.

Mine is the rotator cuff - and I already had arthritis in that shoulder so now I am a human barometer. Fun party trick. I am punished for not doing my dailies but I do different stuff every other day. I suspect I will never regain full mobility in that shoulder - and it’s my dominant arm too. Wear and tear, I guess.

Been in PT for the last 4 months due to my inability to remain 28 forever so I will let you know when I figure it out.

I can only assume you don’t know what the whips job is.

Dick Durbin is the minority whip. There is no chance that the whip votes against the wishes of the senate minority leader. Despite Schumer’s no vote, he supported the capitulation.

Davis’ case was poor and she is intrinsically unlikable. I would expect a case with a novel argument to be taken up.

Everything that happens on the floor of the senate is theater meant for public consumption with very few exceptions.

This seems like a good way to get the judge to find in favor of the defense motion to dismiss.

NYT editorial staff in shambles.

It is so good, I only regret watching it dubbed (though the English dubbing was OK) just because my spouse hates subtitles.

Still such a great show to lead you down so many rabbit holes that require some serious flow charting to keep track of it all. 10/10

Common law marriage also can be a problem in probate. When I lived in Texas I got married specifically because we were worried about my husband’s estranged family contesting our joint property if he were to pass. Or contesting our PoA in the case of medical decisions.
