As an adult with a family: Yes, but nothing like when I was younger. The biggest shift for me primarily was to games that are not competitive or multiplayer.

I can’t do the 25-60 minute intense gaming sessions with or against other players. I have to be able to stop everything I am doing at a moment’s notice. I feel bad having to drop on people.

Also I can’t do the FPS games now because I’m old and my eyes just can’t anymore.

I said this in another thread about this article: They’re just flatly dividing the 1.3 billion total budget that was allocated over the years by the 6,300 number of homeless counted in 2023.

This budget likely includes programs serving homeless populations as a whole and its staffing, administration, etc. Given the time period this likely includes program funding that started, and then ended, with special funding local health juridictions recieved during covid.

Source: worked in the region in question in a local health juridiction through covid. Cutting programs and keeping police sweeps didn’t help the homeless but it tended to satiate the local businesses and residences impactes.

Rare W for my representative, continued L for their party.

Country buys foreign material, uses security.

Appears it was McConnell, which makes sense because he broke with the Party over posturing towards Russia if I recall correctly.

The zionists won. It doesn’t need reminding.

A movement tried to make Palestine a relevant political issue for the electorate. It got stomped out. I don’t get this sentiment to keep stomping.

It gets real dangerous if the National Guard unit hesitates or refuses to take a shooting order and the Marines are ordered to respond to that as mutiny.

That’s how it’d be an equivalent flashpoint for violence I think.

It happened before the 1960s too, even!

Bladder sourced is what the study determined, with the fluid being normal urine or Skene’s gland secretion, but likely some combination.

Plausibly there could be pure glandular secretion squirt. Or urine. But likely a mix.

They don’t even have to pass those if they don’t want to. In portions of America it is just: win an election, appoint your friends and lackies.

A lot of departments use the admission tests to screen out candidates who might be overqualified: they specifically won’t want the best. An overwight blob is preferable to an in shape individual that might think before acting.

I had to look this up.

Damnit I want these for America.

Insert one shibboleth, like one bit of information critically wrong intentionally. Make lists of users who point it out for HR.

Hamas being a terrorist organization.

For what it is worth the Warsaw Uprising and the Yugoslavian Partizans were also terrorist uprisings against their legal governments that were committing a (technically legal) Holocaust.

2019 Kurzgesagt: “I guess we will fact check, if that’s important to you.”

No technician on Earth will be able to debug this black box spaghetti except the manufacturer.

I do not share such faith in the manufacturer that made the black box spaghetti.

Damnum.

Interesring thing to note: doing any and all of the above to people along politically ideological lines is not considered genocide. Millions of civilians have been exterminated because their politics were not national, ethnic, racial, or religious.

If there’s an actual debate you’ve got to define terms. People’s definitions of ‘leftist’ can be pretty wild, especially if the debate is between an American and… mostly anyone outside America.

I have seen people waxing poetic about Imperial Japan and the Jakarta Method who consider themselves leftist, while at the same time associate outright NazBols with the left.

So ‘what do you actually mean by tankie/liberal?’ will usually cut through a lot of debate perv noise.

A fundamental disagreement on a foundational principle is going to be a hurdle, indeed.

I still have a tick where I rate the shelterability of nooks and crannies in public spaces. Dry stairwell here, unlocked gate there, and so on.

It’s an odd feeling, being a homeowner these many years later.
