Let us hope the devs notice the thumbs down on this attitude and adjust.

Please note that Fungal Strider is massive, the image does not give scale due to the plants also being massive.

I expect violence, there is going to use it as a false flag to invoke the insurrection act. Expect ICE and interstate National Guards doing stupid shit at these.

It is terrifying how quickly and violently Trump has moved against America. This is malevolence you usually only see in a third world dictatorship. I fear how many will be lost in this uncivil war. It seems likely only a military Coup d'état will stop this.

It is like they are wilfully ignoring past caller volumes other than one Sunday in 1970.

I was looking for the sweets and toys... I spoil mine rotten.

It is definitely a trap!

I suspect it was a "wrong button Kronk" and they fled in embarrassment.

Hand-delivering your application in a large envelope (so it is not folded) printed on thick fancy ivory paper with a fancy font and borders like an art piece. I remember the 80s, when humans would read your application, not machine parsing for keywords.

Sadly, this concept is not new, and it has been any day now for over a year. I would love to see Russia fail in its expansionist wars of aggression. Trump pulling support from Ukraine is not helping. Putin is stubborn, and malicious, so it is going to be challenging for Putin to accept defeat.

Amazing how much you can make on shorts when you can tank your own economy. The thing that shocks me most is how quickly you can maliciously destroy a country from within. New speed run record! Putin must be so proud.

Who are the "we" here? Tariffs are effectively taxes on US citizens. Assuming that number is correct, it has taken that money out of the pockets of people to the government...

I don't think Trump has done the math, unless he is shorting USD so wants to push it down the drain. China is making deals globally, excluding America, so China will weather this better than Americans will. America is quickly becoming a Third World country. Making America Great again?

Like ice cream, there are many flavours, one for everyone. Ignore haters who can't accept not everyone loves Vanilla.

It seems some men can't take their hand off it, could be why they suck at gaming. It appears they want blow-up barbie dolls. I personally like real looking protagonists. But I guess I am the odd one.

Let me guess, these folks are Fox News watchers? Even Trump lies that Portland is war torn. It is an epic scale misinformation campaign. All to justify an end to freedom in America with the Insurrection act. I fear for my friends in America, and any who has a boat.

You are trying to have a logical and reasonable discussion with shit throwing monkeys, they don't care about facts, just if the shit lands. No amount of science is going to convince them, when their joy is in throwing shit, not thinking.

I am happy my parent did not make that choice for me. I would not choose to do that. It is irreversible. There is a lot of pressure to keep doing this to children. I do hope it is stopped as it is very rarely medically necessary.

I hope it does, consequences for actions. The world has become more lawless over time. It needs to be corrected.

Just like Netanyahu and Putin? It seems the global elite are turning a blind eye to war criminals these days, emboldening fascists everywhere. I will believe this when I see it.

I will confess I had to look that word up. And definitely Ms. Mole has had enough.

Human diversity is essential. Focus on what draws us together, celebrate what makes us different, and most importantly, love thy neighbour.

Terry Pratchett spoke truth to power, and lambasted the oligarchy. He was witty, smart, and entertaining. I really enjoyed reading his works. The Discworld series were an excellent read.
