Crap, I have to reread the series now and appreciate "The Fifth Elephant." Didn't that elephant also cause huge crystalized fat deposits to happen deep in the disc?
There's only one thing I would alter in your statement. You said:
...and to focus on shareholder profits over making a good product.
I would say, "and to focus on shareholder profits over making a good productanything else, including life itself.
It's more profitable for a health insurance company to deny someone's claim than to pay for their healthcare in the US. The insurance company won't care if that ultimately leads to the person's death - they have to answer to their shareholders.
It's more profitable for Nestlé or Google to siphon water from countries in the global South than it is to have sustainable practices that don't exacerbate climate change. So what if that means that millions of people will die in the years to come? That's their problem for being poor.
We need to bring about the kind of change that has politicians recognize that there is more to human life than a dollar amount, and that poverty is not a moral failing on the part of the individual. But until that happens, poverty is akin to a death sentence.
Just finished watching these matches, and as someone who's played a good amount of SSB64, that was INCREDIBLE. Such top notch playing from start to finish. Thanks for sharing this.
What the hell are you talking about? We live in the Disc, held up by the Four Elephants which stand on the back of the Great Atuin, a 10,000 mile long turtle. The turtle moves.
I disagree only slightly. This is what it looks like to control women's bodies and deny any sense of agency.
Doctors tend not to believe women when they are in pain, or what they experience in their own bodies. This is even worse for black women, which is why more black women die during or after childbirth. Even Serena Williams almost died after giving birth because the doctors didn't believe her.
This is like saying, "people need air to breathe." The fact this is a revelation to gaming studios is deeply concerning.
I played some when it was in early access, and I've been absolutely loving BG3 now that it's officially released. I haven't felt like this about a game in a long time, and it's probably because Larian studios treated this like Divinity Original Sin - a complete game with loving care. As I saw in another review, they didn't make a D&D game, they just made D&D.
The hot take I've heard is that our ancient ancestors had a much higher chance of being killed by predators, so being on edge was an evolutionary advantage. According to this idea, the fear and dread of today is a remnant of our past.
I composed a choral piece away from a piano at a coffee shop years ago. What I'm most proud of is that the voice leading works really well, and yet the chords are quite interesting. It also helps that I'm a professional musician, but I get a little thrill when I get to conduct or perform that piece.
This shouldn't happen in America. And the guy who did it shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the White House," said David Rothkopf, a noted foreign policy, national security and political affairs expert and commentator.
I agree that this shouldn't be happening, but it is. It's a clear indication of the GOP wanting to operate as a fascist party, and this needs to be taken seriously. I hope that happens.
I just finished watching the video. It does a good deep dive into the money behind Kurzgesagt. Makes me sad, because I enjoyed a number of Kurzgesagt videos in the past. Not gonna watch them anymore.
Took the 20 question version and got 20/20. I think it was an okay way to get a sense on fake news, but at the same time there have been more conspiracy theories peddled by media from all different political leanings over the past 5-10 years. Even a legitimately published headline can be deceiving.
Umm, excuse me, but I believe you're missing a "start" and/or "select." pushes glasses up nose
