Yeah, with the spawn distances and the amount of enemies, there's very little space for a true sniping experience. Plus with the destructible environment, high ground is very rarely guaranteed. Plus, the camera shake mechanics aren't the most conducive to sniping. I do think that if OP wants a more sniper-ey experience, they're in their right to request it since it's a PvE game and the most important thing is to have fun. Maybe they could introduce some more variety into the sniper lineup, like different types of rounds. Or maybe a new planet that's got lots of close spaced high ground where staying at ground level means you get boxed in by enemies

There's the AMR, which is the only "sniper" in the game imo. But it takes up a stratagem slot and isn't nearly as penetrating as I'd like it to be. I only really use it if I find it laying around in the wild.

Tbh I think the whole game is designed away from a sniper play style, which is a little disappointing. But I'm willing to forgive it with how fun it is otherwise.

I try to make everything from scratch, but sometimes I make pre made when I know I'm avoiding eating because I don't feel like cooking. If I make pre made though, I'll always add something to it to bulk it out. Ramen? Handfuls of frozen veg. Frozen pizza? Slap mushrooms, peppers, onions on top. Pasta sauce? Spinach, homemade stock, and carrots.

To me, its about health. I know processed food isn't healthy, so I want to mitigate the damage.

I just thought it was a more lighthearted deep dive than the ones I usually post. It's pretty cool to see the different techniques this guy went through to identify alt accounts and how seriously discord nation state LARPers take their community

It gets worse. There's a population of natives trapped on the island in legal limbo, living in awful conditions in the name of "national security".

I generally agree with the article, but think you have a point when you say that it's hard to argue for self defense for a premeditated action. However, I don't think that the author was trying to make the point that self defense law was failing women, but more trying to illustrate that "self defense" as a legal concept is a bit flawed.

Unfortunately, DV laws in the US kind of suck and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon. I read an article not too long ago about how even when women try to use DV resources and go to the police, they can often face legal repercussions for failing to protect their children from the abuse. All around horrific situation that I wouldn't wish on anyone

The "gay panic" defense is still valid in most states. Truly tragic

I did actually! I wouldn't call it a milk replacement. It's definitely got a really peculiar taste that I can only describe as lactose free milk if it tasted like it had aspartame in it. I don't really drink much milk to begin with, so the only thing I was doing with it was just sipping straight but I feel like it would taste nice in coffee or tea. Wouldn't put it in cereal or cook with it tbh.
