Do you really not know who your family likely voted for, or your roommates? People like this don’t need a registered ballot result to make an inference that lets them act violently; unless he’d had the foresight to play at being a Trump convert months ago, I think this story is extremely credible.

Nah, if I remember right, those arrows use the poison from a tree frog’s skin, not something like a snake’s venom. So still poison!

…I think that might be less far-fetched. After all, our black VP is competing for her next job with a guy who’s a few oranges short of a basket…

…I would be very interested in seeing how you describe your hummingbirds!

I certainly hope that happens. But it’s not a reliable enough consequence to justify the currently low level of fines, which was how I read your earlier comment.

That seems like a pretty weak consequence, and not an intended one. Worse, it’s one likely to be least impactful for the worst offenders - a megacorp isn’t going to care much about fines, and the market won’t see any danger to their investment in them.

…it didn’t occur to them to even start learning Russian before they went?!

I’ve been trying to avoid soap labelled antibacterial for this reason, and it’s tricky to even find any that’s not labelled antibacterial.

Been wondering if they don’t just slap the label on any soap, because it could be considered antibacterial by its nature. Apparently not?

Dead? Really? Cuz Portal and Minecraft are my kids’ top two games!

More of a callback, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/grilledcheese/comments/2or1p3/you_people_make_me_sick/

I think that would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

People who live in an area should be empowered to push back against outside interests coming in and changing things to the detriment of the residents, like the HOA posted earlier that protected their forest and watershed.

The problem is that this power is often turned back onto the residents. This sounds to me like hyper-local politics - and so the answer is to get involved and vote out the assholes in power, not ban the existence of the political body!

(Edit) I didn’t realize this, but some HOAs are controlled by outside developers, rather than local residents? That I can get behind banning!

Mine has been docked for months at a time. I recently started shifting it to be near the kids when they’re home; but not undocking it wouldn’t strike me as strange at all.

But not the stem!

And if you’ve been letting Steam store your save data, you should find that your save files for most games will still be available in Linux! Mileage will vary per game of course, but jumping between OSes has been pretty seamless for me!

True! I’ve been too focused on our local politics lately!

Well, until the President decides otherwise, anyway.

My SteamVR games run poorly on Linux. They do run, but it’s a much rougher experience than running them through Windows.

It’s frustrating, because otherwise Linux is my primary gaming system!

I was actually noticing that the blurb, at least, does not specify a language…
