This mention was found in the article: “The intent of this bill was to stop this predatory bait-and-switch, deceiving women and especially at-risk women”
The article, sadly, didn’t go into much more detail regarding such incidents.
Perhaps I’m just being pessimistic, but I fully expect he’d permanently leave the country rather than spend a single day in jail. That said, perhaps it’s not all bad. We’d at least be rid of him finally.
I wonder why religious conservatives are mostly synonymous with capitalism supporters ? I mean arent most religions inherently socialistic ? What makes conservatives support capitalism , despite not being among the rich?
Besides some of the other good points brought up here, I’d like to say that it’s because communist countries typically were/are anti-religion, so it makes sense that religious leaders in capitalist countries would oppose any form of government that seeks to limit organized religion. So, they support capitalism because it’s the opposite of communism.

Just finished Dishonored 2. Yeah, I know I’m late to that party. It was on sale so I thought I’d give it a try. It was OK. Seemed a bit derivative, perhaps a bit too similar to the Bioshock games. It was also tougher than I was expecting; particularly once I started trying to be stealthier and to get the no-kills checkmark at the end of each level. Needed lots of save-scumming and still didn’t manage to no-kill all the levels in which I made an attempt at that. Ending was a bit meh, despite having low chaos at the end. Got my money’s worth though, so I can’t complain too much.
Trump was no longer listening to his White House counsel, the elite team of attorneys who take an oath to serve the office of the president. But by all accounts, he hadn’t been listening to them for some time.
As disturbing as this was to read, it was nice to know there were still some honest and clear-headed people working in the government at the time this shit went down.

NC is a stand-alone city-state, kind of like Athens in ancient times or like modern day Singapore. As for the map, I’ll let someone else more versed in the lore address that.
Good, but unnecessarily long video. There were some funny bits and good examples, but it dragged on and more or less devolved into a rant video.
The correct assertion that AI doesn’t really (currently) exist could have also been better explained. Good examples of why that is true were talked about, but not in service of reinforcing that statement. Instead, the assertion was used to punctuate the examples. So good examples and correct points, but it feels like the argument could have been better made.

In a letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg published by Semafor, a lawyer for Twitter said the company “has serious concerns that Meta Platforms (Meta) has engaged in systematic, willful and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property”.
Makes you wonder what, if any tech they could have appropriated.

I use the units to increase the storage capacity of my ships, but once I'm done with that I'll probably just stop. No point then. You can only have a little over 4.2 billion units at a time and if it weren't for having to spend 300 million for each increase in ship storage (it's less at the start and increases as you add capacity maxing out at 300 million units) I'd have run over that limit multiple times already.
For me at least once I was able to regularly produce multiple Fusion Ignitors and/or Stasis Devices in a day buying storage slots become faster and easier than questing and/or scrapping ships. Plus, there's no point in trying to indefinitely acquire units because there's a finite limit to how much one can save, so it might as well be spent on something useful.
