A lot of people like casual survival, which is the same reason Valheim was such a hit.
Plus Palworld has very good tooltips so it is easy to know what is going on. Honestly it is just easily accessible with less punishing survival mechanics and lots of things to so, which explains the mass appeal.
Manual's only advantage over automatic is better control over shifting for staying in the power band or downshifting for long slopes. A proper CVT electric can always have the optimal power band for the speed and regenerative braking takes care of the long slopes.
Prior to Obamacare insurance companies would deny things like cancer when you switched insurances by calling it a 'preexisting condition'. As in you had cancer before signing up for their insurance.
Companies loved this because it made their employees afraid to leave because their current insurance might cover their treatments, but switching jobs most likely mean that their new insurance wouldn't.
Sure, because there job is to ease the monetary burden of suffering events.
Their job is to extract profits from people who need healthcare, and ease the monetary burden on the business by denying as many claims as possible to increase profits. Preventative care would benefit them in the long run along with the population that they 'serve', but short term profits don't care about the long term.
Just ban prior authorization and don't let them deny care. Or even better, switch to single payer and get those parasitic businesses out of healthcare.
Not all prisons, because some states don't allow the exception that exists in the 13th Amendment to be implemented in their state prisons. There is still a lot of coercion and inmates are massively underpaid for their work in a way that is slavery in everything except name in those states.
So if a prison has a work program for inmates, assuming it is slavery is a good assumption. But some prisons don't let prisoners work for various reasons, so not all prisons practice slavery.
Slavery is currently legal a the federal level for incarcerated people as that exception was carved out in the 13th Amendment. That is pretty much maxed out in its current state through disproportionately incarcerating minorities, and is likely to be the primary reason that the US has such a ridiculously high incarceration rate.
Yet another example of how dragging out court cases penalizes the defendant by hanging the specter of future prosecution over their head to force a plea deal. In a perfect world the government offering the plea deal after all this time should have prompted the judge to dismiss the case due to the lack of a speedy trial.
Yeah, but they don't mean steroids which are totally not performance enhancing medicine!
“And what is performance medicine about? It’s not about steroids and getting jacked muscles. It’s about being a better, stronger, faster, younger athlete for longer. And who doesn’t want to be younger for longer?”
Wtf performance enhancing medicine makes you younger for longer? If this line had come from the Onion it would have been a good laugh.
And more specifically, whether parents can deny a reversible puberty delaying hormone treatment against the patient’s wishes and force the patient to undergo puberty against their will.
I don't see anything about puberty blockers in the posts I was responding too, just a general statement about a single doctor and treatment, which is extremely vague so I just commented about the single doctor part. Treatment could also be simply presenting, it could be puberty blockers, and it could possibly be some kind of surgery for extreme cases of dysphoria although the last one is unlikely to be on the table without parents being on board in the first case.
The question is so vaguely worded and transitioning is such a broad description of so many things that it is likely to cause this kind of conflict with people who agree that a child who is trans should have autonomy in making their own decisions. Parents should be supportive, but I just hesitate to consider them abusive because there are also rare cases where the child is actually just unhappy with going through puberty and not actually trans but have difficulty describing it.
Would I think someone who opposed their kid who said they were trans since they were five going on puberty blockers is being abusive? Yes.
Would I think someone who opposed their kid who suddenly say they were trans when puberty hits along with describing the reason being that they don't like having periods while still being find being called she/her going on puberty blockers is being abusive? Nope, that parent is probably paying better attention to their child's need for support as they go through puberty.
This is a big and complicated topic and a simple 'child and doctor say X so parent is abusive' is fine as a default assumption as long as there is room for the doctor to be wrong and the child to be confused.
Using ChatGPT to prove you are right is fucking hysterical.
I'm not going to ask because I expect that you will lie based on how you are approaching the question and responding. While I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, this just reeks of rage baiting.
My response is that you are opposed to trans kids and trying to start arguments by pretending to support trans kids by using a vague wording that suggests surgery when that is generally not recommended prior to them turning 18.
Both of these are pretty typical of all the articles I have seen, which is the government claiming he did great harm, but no actual examples of getting anyone killed.

Don't like survival game with tedious and punishing mechanics.
