Oregonian here. There's currently over 100 fires burning across our state. 5 of them currently considered mega-fires.

Our state-level firefighters, as well as the federal-level are seriously, seriously underpaid. If you're the letter-to-politician-writing type, please help advocate for better pay and benefits for our firefighters

Right on, thanks for the info!

Oh damn. Was coolroms part of that too? I've used emuparadise and coolroms a bunch over the years. Kinda makes me want to stock up just in case

I'm OOTL, which ROM sites got shut down?

Oh shit, thanks! Didn't realize!

I really thought that the headline had to be at least just a little hyperbolic...

Nope. It's for real.

Hell yea. I got these saved for later!

I feel like you'll probably really enjoy Charlie Parr as well, if you don't already know him

I really enjoyed that, thank you

It really seems like my grocery store (a Kroger brand) has been doing this for a bit now.

Prices on certain things vary wildly depending on the time of the month or the day of the week. Plus, with their bullshit, incessant push for everyone to use their app and online ordering, it seems like this will be much more common moving forward.

You're not wrong, and maybe they should have initially responded to the person who called them out. But this whole conversation could've turned into a dumpster fire in a number of different ways.

I believe the response given was absolutely worth commending. It showed compassion and maturity - things that are all too often lacking in internet discourse.

This is a wonderfully levelheaded response.

Thanks for the work you do

Great setup! It feels so good to have a such a big head-start on the growing season!

You'll be feeling extra great when it comes time to plant in the ground and your starts are further along than anything you could have purchased or grown from seed right when the season starts.

Post progress pics later!

At this time, any further comments on the cause of death are currently pending until toxicology results and other ancillary testing results are received,” the statement says. (Emphasis mine)

Benedict was able to walk out of the bathroom after the Feb. 7 fight but was taken to a hospital by their family and sent home that night. The next day, paramedics were dispatched to the home for a medical emergency and took Benedict to a hospital emergency room, where they later died, police said.

I really hope this doesn't turn out to be self-inflicted... Either that, or that's the angle the officials are hoping to imply in the meantime. This whole thing is so heartbreaking....

Sometimes when the news, or life or whatever, gets me down, I come back to this song. And I remember that a better world is possible, so long as we all try.

I hope this song sparks a lil something in you, the same as it does me

If you want to cry tears of pain and rage, listen to Dajah’s statement (one of the survivors) at the trial of the shooter. It’s…heavy, you’ve been warned.

This is a common trope in these topics. And I gotta say, to be perfectly honest, that I hate it.

Leftists/anti-fascists also rely on having face coverings to protect themselves from state repression, and doxxing from nazis, despite being right in their beliefs.

I get where you're coming from with the sentiment, I do. But rather than taking issue with the masks themselves, I'd recommend taking action (or at least encouraging it) and physically removing their masks so they can be properly doxxed themselves and face the consequences of their violent and hateful beliefs.

Edit: Case in point, here's a link to a video of the Proud Boys fighting with another, smaller, local neo Nazi group where they start to de-mask each other, towards the end of the video. They know that being exposed to the public is detrimental to their livelihoods, but will still do it to each other whenever there's a conflict.

Take note of that, and act accordingly.
