Disappearing from a loved one's life when they get dementia because you find it upsetting is not an excuse. Everyone finds it distressing so wise up and support them.

These are some of the most extreme restrictions on immigration in years. We're told to see them as benign because they're less bad than Farage's far-right extremism. But they are still terrible.
Mahmood says she will introduce new conditions for indefinite leave to remain:
Lived here 10 years not 5
Being in work
Not taking a penny in benefits
No criminal record
Giving back to community eg volunteering

The Cadbury Dairy Milk advert that depicts dementia and Alzheimer's as a bitter-sweet and whimsical experience can fuck right off. As can the creative cunts who came up with the idea and who've clearly never had to deal with looking after someone with the condition.

There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.
He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Important to note; Japan has way stricter laws around laying people off. Actual protections from its government that force companies to do things like have execs take pay cuts before doing a mass layoff. The solution to this problem is not a “good” CEO. It’s systemic and complete reform.
I remember a time Nintendo leader Satoru Iwata took a paycut himself to prevent laying off developers. They really don't make the like they used to.
Layoffs begin at Xbox

He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down.
The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him.

Everyone who's played FTL and Into the Breach has nothing but good memories. But on the surface, Fulcrum Defender is a very different design. It's an arcade game, and it's as twitchy as they come.
