Yeah they did well in 2018 and 2020 when Trump was last in office. Not so well outside of the condition of Trump being demonstrably worse.

"Modern"? I don't know.

Final Fantasy 10 was the last game that fit the 'traditional' turn based (active or not) gameplay. Since then there's been less consistency between iterations.

Final Fantasy 11 and 14 are MMORPGs and are just fundamentally different games as a result. The latest is essentially Devil May Cry gameplay.

A lot of people enjoyed DMC and DMC is not inherently bad, but it may not be what people expect.

But the spinoffs using the Final Fantasy name have always been pretty damn hit or miss. (Compare Mystic Quest to Tactics.) This just now applies to the whole series.

Anglush.

This would be a major departure for the EPA in the sense that the engineer would seek efficiency out of it.

Honestly though environmental engineers come up with wild stuff which protects both the environment and human development. Not the budget though: the true opponent of civil engineers, the general public excepted.

I know it is likely just the nostalgia, but the PS1 startup sounds really were the best.

It's $70. There has been little appetite for $60 games as of late, but from what it sounds like Avowed at least has $70 bucks worth of time and stuff. Whereas many $60 titles aren't worth their sale prices--its not a high bar.

A $40 or less Avowed on sale next year will do well I predict.

I went to a wedding where they played Bittersweet Symphony as she walked down the aisle.

It always felt slightly offputting.

...And then the groom's mom made a speech about how love was like a dog, which had some sweet sentiments about loyalty in there. But also... vaguely shady.

Similar boat, but my spouse also has a chronic disability. As a result we have no social group.

Septic tank market hasn't slowed though.

How nice for the Reed family/Green Diamond to be split into 'private family owned timberland' and 'corporate timberland'.

I prefer me the multiplayer environment of Fromsoft games where it's just absolute degeneracy and your own damn pride on the line. Where the sweat and the stupid blurs.

I like how just saying 'Scone of scone' makes you just a little bit genetically Scottish.

Americans have had to invent novel terms to avoid using the 's' or 'c' word with politics. 'Mutual aid' is a term usually used to refer tk grassroots organizing of communities to cover basic needs like food and medicine.

Referring to a common internet scam as 'mutual aid' is doing more work to smear the term than anything.

Bro straight up wants to throw down over tinned beans and rainwater.

I didn't see the original comment nor do I need to, but ethnic nationalism, the 'blood and soil' kind of nationalism, seeks to forge nationality into the same framework as race. Approaching nation states from this perspective is effectively racist, inherently so.

This is compared to civic nationalism where commitment to national values matters. So one could argue that without clarification it is a stretch, but at the same time... it's usually pretty clear which version is meant.

Combine that with the fact that the revolt happened when the Weimar Republic was at its strongest

That I think isn't quite the case. The uprising occurred in the time period after the Armistice and before the 1919 elections. The Weimar government prior to the 1919 elections existed solely on the legitimacy inherited from the Kaiser. The Spartacists were extrajudicially executed a week before the elections. The constution wasn't written until the following summer.

They were operating in the context of the ashes of World War 1 and disintegrating empires. The total collapse of centralized authority and subject nations forming governments independently can hardly be considered 'too early'.

Considering it 'too early' in the sense that roving bands of monarchist paramilitaries were still running amok unchecked and (then legitimized by the government?) Yeah, bad time for all who didn't support Prussian hegemony.

Natural Selection was a quality one.

This is more like polarity shift Antarctica where sea level stays similar to current levels. Way back in college I used melted antarctica with sea level rise for an evolutionary biology seminar. And it is much less interesting.

When I was in fisheries the tuna boats would bring the haul of frozen tuna into port where they'd be weighed, counted, and transferred to a cannery also in port.

A lot were fileted and cut right there too, so not all was straight to can.

Now a lot of the cans stayed fairly together by shipment. So I imagine where a lot code was split across separate pallets or shipments might a single fish be sent to different locations in can form. So I would wager the 'rest' of the tuna is at least on the shelf next to... itself.

As far as waste though? Some companies are super diligent about their waste streams. Fish meals and such have resale value. Others leave large amounts of parts and material in their shop floors and just power wash it back into the marine waters even while being fined and penalized by regulators. So mileage varies there.
