The solution is to put all of the uniqueness in the middle name. Then you still get to feel “special” while not forcing your kid to go by “tragedeigh” or whatever.
When I chose my name - I made my first as milquetoast and appropriate to my age as possible. My middle I went balls out - I guarantee I have a cooler middle name than you do.
With EA and Spore - SecuROM was a straight up root kit. Basically malware. Pretty sure on the Sims 2 forums there were people who had their computers bricked. (Sims 2 was already messy enough to reinstall sometimes, EA did lots of weirdness with the registry.)
Sony did something similar with music CD’s. Their elaborate scheme to prevent you from ripping your CD’s more than three times or whatever created a vulnerability that was actively exploited by malware developers.
HRF lawyers and online activists trawl through mountains of images and videos submitted to them online to verify and geolocate each one, check its metadata and verify its chain of custody, from the soldier filming it through to HRF, Abou Jahjah explained.
Where the perpetrator is a dual national, HRF seeks prosecution under the second country’s existing laws on war crimes and in the case of sole Israeli citizens, collate legal files, which are then filed as evidence with the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Abou Jahjah has also been personally threatened by Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli, who – alluding to the attacks on Hezbollah’s members’ communication systems in September 2024 – told him to “watch your pager”.
It’s sorta like how many states had abortion laws on the books ready to return to enforcement the second Dobbs happened.
It’s not as if a sitting Supreme Court Justice has speculated on getting rid of Lawrence v Texas - oh wait:
[W]e should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is 'demonstrably erroneous' ... we have a duty to 'correct the error' established in those precedents.”
Clarence Thomas. Shithead would give up Loving v Virginia as long as he keeps getting to be a sex pest and enjoy fun yacht trips.
Fred and his best friend, Barney Rubble, participated in the Bedrock Wars, where they and other soldiers were deceived by the conqueror, Mordok the Destroyer, into committing genocide against the Tree People and burning down their home to establish Bedrock. Barney and his wife Betty raised the infant sole survivor of the Tree People as their son, Bamm-Bamm. The "Loyal Order of Water Buffalos Lodge" from the original show is instead depicted as a veterans group the two attend to help them deal with the trauma of the ordeal.
No see - it’s all about who’s doing the thing. Words are all made up anyway, there are just good guys and bad guys.
Remember how “precedent” stopped them from allowing Obama to appoint a new Supreme Court judge as a lame duck, but the same logic didn’t apply to Trump?
Since compiz fusion is long deprecated, I stick to Xmonad with almost no visual changes from the stock install, other than tweaks to make some colors lower contrast.
The best part of BlackkKlansman was that I watched it with two literal billionaires who most assuredly voted for Trump 3 times. I got to feel their reaction to that ending montage. Thank you for the reminder.
Notably, the research team found that Black-serving hospitals were slightly more likely than other hospitals to have a “Magnet” designation, which is a recognition bestowed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center to indicate a hospital has demonstrated a high standard of nursing excellence. This indicates that Black patient outcomes remain compromised even at hospitals with strong nursing resources, such as staffing and the work environment.
At least five women I can find have died so far from being denied reproductive health care - I believe almost all of them women of color. Three in Texas and two in Georgia.
It really is about subjugation. And this specific case does tie into the fact that black women in the US frequently do not receive sufficient medical care:
Monica Simpson, executive director of the organization SisterSong, said the first issue with Smith’s case is that she did not receive proper care when she sought help for her headaches.
Schiavo’s parents wanted to keep her on life support; her husband didn’t. I wonder if he was expected to pay too.
I imagine hospitals have all kinds of ways of getting people to sign some agreement to be held responsible for all kinds of costs. The entire system is fucked - you don’t know how much you owe until you start getting random bills months later.
The absolute best strategy for most reading comprehension struggles is read aloud. Active discussion is good too.
Or I also like to tell my high schoolers to be contrarian with the text. To argue against it, to try to prove it wrong, even to the point of bad faith. “You’re saying the book sucks - I want receipts. Tell me about it.” I don’t really have training in teaching english but I will happily pressure high schoolers into reading the books in English class.
