and you talk about murdering whole families as if that wasn’t the intent of pogroms

Guess I missed the Palestinian pogroms which justified Israel's genocidal war on the Palestinian people.

1. Why did Palestinians start hating Jews?
2. What did Israel do to help resolve that conflict?
3. Which side has disproportionately taken casualties throughout the history of the nation?
4. Which side has a military doctrine which allows for nuking any invading force?

I think #1 is probably a good starting point to come to grips with the reasons for the Palestinian people fighting, literally, for survival.

Do you mean planking?

You're one up on me there.

My empathy for corporations having to meet burdensome regulations is null. If they'd behaved ethically in the past we wouldn't have needed to create legislation to address their malfeasance.

I worked in IT when Sarbanes Oxley requirements were being put in place and they were a pain in the ass. Only reason those requirements came about was because of the debacle that was Enron's implosion.

Sounds like construction equipment is as secure as US democracy.

Head scarves are awesome. I also have a convertible beanie/scrunchie/balaclava/headscarf that I love.

Thanks for giving me inspiration to come back to it this weekend.

Drop Duchy 18.0 hrs last two weeks / 33.5 hrs on record

Deckbuilder, Tetris style-puzzle, and rogue-lite game. Gameplay is like Tetris but you get building cards which translate into tiles. When placed the tiles provide resources, armies, or somehow affect the tiles around them. Between rounds you can upgrade cards to improve or change their functions. There are achievement milestones which reward progression points that can be spent to unlock new cards, new decks, or otherwise provide boosts to make future runs more successful.

Started downhill isn't right. Accelerated is closer.

The 90s were prettygood. It kinda all started downhill with the Brooks Brothers Riot and SCOTUS calling a presidential election instead of the votes.

Bless your heart.

This isn't one of mine, but lettuce nudibranchs are great algae eaters! Some sea slugs, like the leaf sheep (2), sea bunny slug (3), and fairy/cyerce sea slug (5), eat very specific algae and nothing else. I've looked into it. They're so adorable.

Someone paid attention in history class and has been drawing parallels.

I'm telling!

How was Magnolia? I loved Lillies.

Drop Duchy - Roguelike Tetris/card/city builder. 13 hours in and it's solid./L Description from the Steam page does a good job of explaining an unconventional roguelike.

Drop Duchy - Build your duchy piece by piece in this refreshing hybrid rogue-lite game. Use block-dropping mechanics to collect resources, recruit troops to fight against belligerent armies, and let every block shape your realm, leading your path to victory!

Webbed - This deceptively simple metroidvania is based around using spiderwebs as the main mechanic for puzzle solving. You have two web modes: swinging or pulling yourself to a surface or creating persistent webs. The webs stay when you leave the current screen/room so when you spend time making yourself a ramp to get somewhere you don't need to redo it again when you return to an area.

I also thought it was a cool touch that they made it accurate to nature in that the male spider is a riot of color and the female is grey/browns. I think they're based on peacock spiders and the protagonist is the female.

I loved the Ori games and No Rest for the Wicked was shaping up to be a great game. Hoping my refund request to Steam wallet goes through; 67 hours played. I included in my refund request that I want to take that money and use it to support a studio that isn't run by an asshole (but worded gooder).
