The big gap is indicating they are probably trying to do as shitty a job as possible without incurring legal repercussions on top of already being in a fucked up industry. For-profit insurers makes as little sense as for-profit prisons or military or mail.

We used to have hominid cousins living at the same time as modern humans like neanderthals and denisovans. I don’t think there’s a consensus answer on what wiped them out, ecological changes over the last ice age reducing the availability of resources that they couldn’t adapt to maybe, or prehistoric wars maybe and only the most vicious and violent hominid group survived, or some combination of changes and fighting and being absorbed by other dominant groups that they couldn’t adapt to quickly enough.

The EU books, games, and comics before the prequel movies was peak Star wars. Thrawn trilogy, young Jedi series, rogue squadron series, bounty hunter short stories, x wing and tie fighter games, old Republic games and comics, dark forces, etc.

Some code I wrote is buried in an archive storage underground in the Arctic

If you had some code in an active GitHub repo before February 2020 you may too, https://archiveprogram.github.com/arctic-vault/

I asked him about his novelty “I owe, I owe, so off to work I go” front license plate. We lived in a state that just requires rear plates. I think I was around 8 or 9. That was my first introduction to unearned authority and fucked up nepotistic power hierarchies. He also had a couple good songs about destroying the company store and a few about fortified/bum wines (not an alcoholic himself but grew up around them).

I am prepared.

PragerU and the fucking discovery institute are going to provide all of the materials to red state schools after Trump removes the DoE including slavery was good for slaves instead of teaching about the historic and current racial injustices inherent to the system, the US is Christian ignoring the enlightenment secular principles it was founded under, trans people aren’t people instead of trans rights are human rights, and any social security for the working class is communism instead of the insane wealth imbalance worse than before the great depression or French revolution.

How is a medical doctor not able to understand the necessity of vaccines? Fucking buffoonery.

Special military operation, the aggressor denies it is a war or invasion, but I’m not sure how that affects NATO enrollment.

Yep, if work is asking to participate in charity I just let them know I already have a couple preferred charities I already work with/donate to. If they’re interested in helping give them a link to doctors without borders, ffrf, local homeless or veterans support, etc.

I wouldn’t say I’m completely hopeful or doomed, the world is filled with terror and beauty. There are no gods or kings it’s just people. Historic and scientific education can help reduce anxiety about the unknown, change your own beliefs and behaviors to improve the situation locally before joining organizations looking to make broader changes. Learn what your fears are and face them, otherwise it will cloud your judgement and influence your decision making process.

Does Orville count as a non canonical near remake?

They don’t get arrested or charged, they get letters from the DoJ asking them to stop please.

Mine just says WW15 and has a picture of a green tiger in space

A sister that is a traditional conservative and brother that is a centrist liberal, they argue in talking points and both of their solutions are usually unrealistic garbage. It’s a big family though so most just leave the room when they get going.

When I played on PC more EverQuest, counterstrike, TF2, wow, Skyrim

I also like to play Indies and smaller games but those are the ones I keep going back to
