  • They will, they will just blame any/everyone else though.

  • Jeff Long's The Descent:
    In a cave in the Himalayas, a guide discovers a self-mutilated body with the warning "Satan exists".
    In the Kalahari Desert, a nun unearths evidence of a proto-human species and a deity called Older-than-Old.
    In Bosnia, something has been feeding upon the dead in a mass grave.
    So begins mankind’s most shocking realization: that the underworld is a vast geological labyrinth populated by another race of beings. Some call them "devils" or "demons." But they are real. They are down there. And they are waiting for us to find them…
    And it's sequel, Deeper:
    A decade has passed since doomed explorers unveiled a nightmare of tunnels and rivers honeycombing the earth's depths. After millennia of suffering terror and predation, humanity's armies descended to destroy the ancient hordes. Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, a doomed science expedition killed the subterraneans' fabled leader, and suddenly it seemed that evil was dead and all was right with the world again.
    Now "Deeper" arrives to explode that complacency and plunge us back into the sunless abyss. Hell boils up through America's subways and basements to take its revenge and steal our children. Against the backdrop of a looming war with China, a crusade of volunteers races to find the vestiges of a lost race. But a lone explorer, the linguist Ali von Schade, learns that a far greater menace lies in the unexplored heart of the planet. The real Satan can't be killed, and he has been waiting since the beginning of time to gain his freedom. Man and his pitiless enemies are mere pawns in the greatest escape ever devised.

  • You really need to read more and gain yourself some perspective on the way corporations are now structured to drain any and all value from users/customers and funnel it to (mainly the majority) shareholders, using any tactics that they Believe they can legally get away with. This includes lobbying (re: bribery) for legislation and/or legal decisions that work in their favor.

  • Why the shift, all of a sudden, from many news outlets to "Hamas-run health ministry"?

  • This death is a tragedy. At the same time, I just don't care at this point, which is another tragedy. Israel has taken their revenge plot too far. They have turned the awful deaths of their people into the sad smoke of justification for a genocide that some of their citizens have been hoping and planning for. This is not the middle ages anymore. We know better. You know better. The fact that my government actively supports this breaks my heart all the more.

  • I do! If you're patient and careful, you can still find some good creators on there. But, it's almost not worth it to even look anymore. Etsy doesn't even pretend to give a shit about all of the fake shops and misleading listings. Unfortunately, I haven't found any good alternatives yet either.

  • So, the article didn't say... What kind of time is he looking at?

  • I wonder how climate change will affect this area and if they've given any thought to that.

  • This is actually what I expect the law enforcement NPCs in games like Thief and Cyberpunk to sound like.

  • Well, that's simply not true. While that may be how they found the land for Central Park, that's not the reason why other cities haven't made large parks like in NYC.
    Portland, OR has (I think) the second biggest inner-city park in the country, and I'm fairly sure no minority neighborhoods were destroyed to create it. Way to be edgy though.
    As for answering OP's question... I'm guessing the property is just too valuable as commercial and residential land for the city governments to want to redesignate as parks. Especially now with the housing crisis and all.

  • Please do, for your own sakes! It looks like you pulled them off an old fencepost. I personally wouldn't use mineral oil, I use coconut oil on all of our wood utensils, but I suppose it's personal preference. Or, better yet, get some stainless steel or fiberglass ones that you can throw in the dishwasher.

  • You never know. I've actually had some good luck with reaching out to public figures online. Unfortunately, I don't have use the twatter either, though.
