We're just going to completely ignore Bill and Hillary's third way new Democrat movement, which actively pushed Republicans into being more radical I take it? The movement that actually allowed the current crop of neo fascist echoes to flourish?
The entire problem is this lack of ideology that directly ensures electoral losses.
I'm pro using torts to make everyone in the chain of a gun tragedy pay for their externalities. Didn't secure your gun and got it negligently stolen and someone was killed? That'll be bankruptcy. Marketed something you knew would kill someone unlawfully? Good luck staying in business friend.
It'd be interesting if folks had to pay for the real cost of gun ownership.
Completely useless for firefighting. Putting a drip torch on its ass and letting it walk a line, maybe. But it's not going to cut down the trees to make a firebreak, who what's the point.
I’m not judging, I’m genuinely curious. The reason why I’m asking is because in this sort of games I like to make the character resemble me as much as possible in every aspect, so I’m just curious to know what is the motivation behind men that decide to play as a female character.
Some of the best cyberpunk characters are women and the clothing is cooler.
For the former point: molly millions/Sally shears and YT were both by far the most interesting characters in the sprawl series and snow crash respectively.
Funny thing about cyberpunk as a genre is the women are often the badasses with complex characters and the male leads are usually bumbling selfish dummies that generally fail to resolve anything (Hiro protagonist in snow crash, Johnny mnemonic, case in neuromancer, and to a lesser degree bato in GIS who's just clueless half the time instead of bumbling).
For the latter: mox gear is better than worn browns and grays.
I also just think the voice actor is better and Judy is the most interesting love interest.

Suffering from end-stage kidney disease, Richard underwent the groundbreaking procedure in March, only to depart from this world merely two months post-surgery.
The news of his demise was confirmed by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the medical facility behind the historic transplant, on Saturday.
Either an AI wrote this or somebody needs to take the author's fucking thesaurus. He has ceased to be. He's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain, and joined the choir invisible. He is an Ex-pig kidney transplant recipient.
Once a kidney loses blood pressure, it quickly starts to degrade. Better to implant working kidneys than a failing one.
There just aren't enough deceased donor kidneys available and folks spend a long time waiting for them, particularly considering how some of them only last a matter of years before they're back of dialysis.
DaVita would be happy to see this abandoned though.

My whole life I’ve always hated burgers that you get from fast food/restaurants. It’s just a bland beef patty with a bunch of toppings that make it a pain to eat. These places advertise their burgers as being “100% Angus Beef!” or whatever, like that makes it appetizing… Why is this the norm? Do people just not know...
Honestly does there exist a company that would acknowledge a union without a vote? I've seen instructions in emergency handbooks for someone presenting union cards that say do not acknowledge them. This law has no impact because for profit companies have no conscious.

I think this is pretty dumb, but since when did Wyoming have cheap enough power or fast enough linkages to peers to make a crypto miner operation want to set up there.
With neither of them publishing it? It sounds like someone was just playing around with the tech. This isn't really "exclusive" worthy, since nobody did anything.

A burger being "100% Beef" is not a good thing
