Then you have pacific salmon, where they dump the eggs and semen in a pit in a river, and both die shortly after. Giving a whole host of meanings to "dropped off".
Or the turtles who bury eggs on a beach and never go back.
How much longer until we have to provide our ID or biometrics to use the Internet or apps?
That's already a thing in some places.
In parts of Europe you have to "prove" that you're over 18 to watch videos that are age restricted on youtube. By doing something like a $0 credit card purchase on your google account.
And Discord has been talking about facial reckognition age verification in the UK over their new "sensitive content" regulation. So it would block that content if not approved via that or other thing(like digital purchase or national ID).
I know it’s popular to go “developer good, publisher bad”, but in Bioware’s case, from what I’ve read, they were mostly just given the rope to hang themselves.
Ever since ME Andromeda they've been outsourcing a lot of the work, and/or using smaller and inexperienced studios while promoting and launching them as if made by the main studio.
Post-rock, shoegazing and the similar genres tend to be pretty chill. But there also tends to be a noticable amount of mind altering substances and dirty bathrooms.
It goes far beyond conspiracy theories at this point: Most major media outlets and centralized social media platforms in the world are sanewashing the entire conservative bloc in America.
They're literally copying Germany in the 1930s, with secret police, sending people to camp based on ethnicity(For all those who seem to not know: Dachau concentration camp was opened in 1933, thousands held there by 1934), etc. Elon Musk did a full blow, Hitler style Nazi salute on stage during the inaugration celebration, twice. And all the media, including pages like Snopes, are acting like "It's impossible to tell what he actually meant".
I've said for years that one or more of the main characters should be prominent, but you play most of the game as a custom character and you get to choose your witcher school. So I'm sort of hoping that she's the protagonist and main character in a similar way to how she is TW3.
Yeah this is bad but this kind of stuff is the thing that can only be done once. Very much like the Unilateral SWIFT BAN on Russia. This prompted all of countries in the world to create an alternative and so they did, this case is the same thing. It might take some time but countries will find a way.
I get that is what your gornment told you, but it literally is not true and there are plenty of sources to back that up.
Russia, on their own, started developing SPFS almost a decade before they were banned, because they were threatened with a ban in 2014 if they didn't stop invading more after Crimea. So when they invaded again they were rightfully banned.
The SPFS functions with some banks covering about 15 countries, hoping for 20 soon. SWIFT is still happily used by over 200 countries.
Based on a quick search you could go for one of the stricter non-felony crimes and try to get a short stay. But I'm guessing you would have more sucess asking for asylum based on the border issues in the US these days.
Although there were references to a court statement from a few decades ago, about a not extraditing someone to a US prison because it might be a human rights violation. Which could potentially be brought up again these days with the current situation.
86 is a common term in the hospitaly industry for "getting rid of".
It sometimes refers to items out of stock, but it also refers to being kicked out or refused service at an establishment. Like someone being too drunk and getting thrown out of a bar can be said to have been "86'ed".
Despite what many people think/have heard, most places do not have a specific law against doing loops in a roundabout. And when they do it is often a local ordinace(mostly small towns trying to prevent a local car community from driving up and down the main street all night). Although other laws or regulations can apply depending on circumstances.
Things like impeding/obstructing traffic, careless/reckless driving, noise ordinance, etc. But if you're driving around one in an industrial area at night, the worst you'll get is probably some accusing questions and a "warning".
If it's supposed to be understandable and they cut off words or mumble through multiple words, it really annoys me. Although I don't really have a problem if I don't understand all the words of a black metal song.
I was on one of those around 2000. Profiles were called crypts, instead of likes it was pentagrams and it was styled to look like it was written on parchment.
There literally is no concept of a joke in their algorithms, it's an advanced chat bot basically going through a list of responses and comparing them similar questions it as analyzed, and spits out the answer that is likely to match.
Take a giant spreadsheet with two columns. First one is questions, and the second is responses. Compare queries against first column. When a close match is found, prints out what is in the second column. That's an extreme simplification of what ChatGPT does. It was never programmer to know or understand what is in either column.
For context, my account is over 15 years old, it has over $6k spent, and almost all of that is in the last decade. And it still comes out to under $50 a month, with thousands of hours played across a bunch of games.
For comparison, I know people who spend much more on their hobbies with car, bicycle, home theater equipment, etc. each year
It's literally been decades since I've seen it, but I seem to remember that he got upset regularly when he was forced to participate with the family instead of playing outside.
