So when does the economy get super bigly tremendous? It's gonna be majestic, I tell ya.

Ah, damn. I did buy it many years ago, but it's unfortunate that new users can't access it.

Not all open world, but:

  • Dying Light 1 has a really fun parkour movement system (haven't played Dying Light 2)
  • Ghostrunner, also kind of parkour-based, really gets you into a flow state once you get the hang of the movement
  • Vanquish is always pretty satisfying IMO, both movement and combat
  • Jet Set Radio or its spiritual successor, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (different dev, same idea) are really fun, especially with friends
  • The remake of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is pretty damn good

As far as I'm aware, they/them and she/her are both good for Steph. They said on their podcast that they use she/her most often in their personal life (because tiddies and long hair) but either set of pronouns works.

I met my wife in 2016 on OKCupid and have been online dating on and off since 2009, when I was 14. My cousin met her husband on Match.com around 2011 as well. Maybe your social circles just didn't take it seriously since you were kids? You would've been 9 in 2010.

At the same time, flashy apps like Grindr and Tinder were starting to really impress people just as the concept of Instagram-style social media was really taking off. A massive amount of people were essentially captivated by the idea of "living on your phone," which was really mainstream and supported by a ton of aesthetically pleasing lifestyle content that seemed to appear almost overnight.

You can imagine that a dating app that highlights your best qualities while minimizing your worst isn't a far stretch from the curated profiles that are all over social media. But since it's still a place for direct messaging, and you do still have the chance to express yourself and talk to like-minded people, some people find that that still allows for genuine connection in some respects.

Even after all these years, the best advice when using these apps is to make a connection and immediately get off of the app in order to move to texting or something instead. Long-term chats are where matches go to die.

Fair enough, yarn and notions will get more expensive. There's also the issue of access to supplies in the first place just because JoAnn was a lot of people's only option.

Oh, I don't mean on an industrial scale. Sorry for any confusion. I was thinking of small-scale artists who have crochet businesses. It might be easier to sell $30 plushies if all of the plushies from Vietnam (and other places known for cheap hand-made products) are now $50.

Something tells me that they are not publishing his name because they're betting that his future patients would feel differently. I would not want to see Dr. Rapist for any reason, even if he's the best physician in the city.

If a game is rated Gold or above, it's generally good to go on most systems. Platinum is the best rating other than Native, which means it's a game with an official Linux version. Proton is the reason I switched to Linux.

Bronze and Silver games might play fine too, but you'll either have to do some tinkering or it just won't work. It's not that often that these games work "out of the box."

If their cost goes way up, that might make hand-made American items comparatively affordable, maybe for the first time in modern history. It's (potentially) a good thing for a bad reason, I guess.

In his summing up the judge said “It has been proven that sexual intercourse took place at a time that she was in a state that meant that she couldn’t possibly consent to it. The offence is serious and unacceptable.”

Wow, we can both read! That's awesome. Now one of us just has to work on their comprehension and maybe even finish the article next time...

Society can't do much against laws that actively foster wealth hoarding.

Increase corporate tax rates, shut down loopholes, go after companies that use tax havens, fine corporate irresponsibility commensurate with the damage it causes (no ticky-tack fines), imprison white collar criminals and seize their assets, limit executive compensation relative to the lowest-paid employee, outlaw stock buybacks, etc.
