It was the first rpg-type game I ever played and it awoke a passion in me I still have 30 years on.
I still have the cartridge. Don’t have an SNES to play on anymore (I’d just emulate anyway). But I keep that and ff8 on display, for being formative titles.
So.. nothing actually changed, they just moved the case to Missouri. Since Missouri has a state-run program that suffers tangible harm from forgiveness, and Georgia didn’t have standing to sue.
The headlines sound really optimistic about what is basically nothingsauce. Sure they can move forward with stuff, but the situation hasn’t really changed that much.
When you hit 36, skeleton movement will make you wince. And be jealous.
Admittedly, I never read the terms and conditions for the university I attended..
Maybe that’s on me, but I seriously doubt there were any. That’s not really a normal thing an institute of higher learning would have, afaik..
What a bizarre contortion.
Honestly, and I appreciate your feedback, I can’t imagine that’s actually my problem since I don’t have a life, but am super into protecting my personal security. I have 2 browsers running at most, plus voyager. Typically no other apps. And it crashes mostly while I’m actively writing stuff. Not on swapping. That’s why it’s so frustrating.
But like even if that weren’t the case, it would still be super frustrating even if some other related app had a similar problem in the past..? Like I’m asking it be done if possible. I know it’s a big ask.
Mine is like this but upside down (2 is a laptop) and with a large gap between the top two. Sort of Mickey mouse head style, but all the same size. I primarily use 2 and 3.
Probably chaotic evil for these as well, since they didn’t even make the chart.
Mmm an entirely different flavor of hate art. Delectable.
I lived through a hurricane down in Texas. And because power was out for a week in my area, and I lived in an apartment, didn’t know how to prepare, and didn’t have many options, we did need supplies.
And there were more cops there to oversee the distribution than there were people distributing the FEMA aid.
If those cops had instead just helped distribute, they wouldn’t have needed cops there at all. The only reason they needed cops there was because it took 6 hours to get your care package of bananas, apples, bread, and water, and they didn’t have any shade available while waiting.
It’s kinda a struggle to dress up as one’s favorite anime/video game/comic character, too.. for largely the same reason.
Idk any context or anything..
Is this an HOA board member? I’m just going by the post title..
I just wanna know because if this is hate art that’s phenomenal. (Even if it isn’t, frankly, but that would be icing)
Probably a lot of it is the long term maintenance involved with trees. Both at a personal and municipal level.
We recently had a tornado touch down in a place that doesn’t normally get them, and we lost a lot of really big old trees, some planted long before the roads were paved the first time, and that did a ton of damage to the infrastructure, as well as just sucking in general for all the damage they did to houses. And insurance companies were.. not super great.
Additionally, there is a need to do regular maintenance to keep clear power lines and such, clean up leaves, trim branches, whatever else, making it less attractive financially/time wise, even though it would increase wellbeing all around.
I don’t see that as a particularly valid reason, personally.. there’s a park, about an acre and a half, in the middle of the boring part of my town that was put in a few years back as a veteran memorial because the land is otherwise pretty worthless (with the stupid way we have set society up - it’s actually incredibly valuable real-estate for microshops in a human-centric design). Nobody ever goes to it, because there’s no shade, despite the lovely expensive granite benches, and its central location. The town doesn’t want to pay to maintain more trees, because we already have a lot of them in other, bigger (thus more localized) parks. If they put 2-5 strategically-selected-and-placed trees in now, along with a water retention soil amendment to avoid watering, it would be a nice little local green space park people would walk to in as little as a decade, but they haven’t planted anything but non-native bulb-type flowers that even our pollinators don’t like, so nobody will ever use it. I wouldn’t mind paying more in tax to responsibly green up the area, but they don’t even want to bother trying.
Same with towns/neighborhoods with no trees, they tend to kinda suck to be in. I can’t imagine not having trees in my yard, or immediately around my place if I was renting (I used to rent a place with like 6 big shade trees around the buildings, that was nice). I’d plant some if they weren’t already there, tho I’m adding 4 more to my tiny lot as soon as the easement is nullified! Free food trees (apple, plum, and pear) yeah! But my big tree will -absolutely- wipe out my house if it comes down in a storm, it’s a 150yo oak about 10 feet from the side of my house. The absolute best case scenario if it comes down.. is it splits in half and only takes out the front room and living room (empty rooms at night). I’m leaving it, despite having damage because of it that tornado, but I understand my neighbors taking theirs down when they lost a big branch and had to deal with home damage. And I get not planting new ones after that, tho I disagree with it.
Yeah, so did I, so I went looking at a few sources, and the takeaway from all of them is what’s above.
The articles are all pretty sparse on detail, but clearly trying to downplay that nothing tangibly changed, and I really don’t fully understand why, when this sort of thing often gets skewered. Maybe because it’s breaking news, and the negativity/reality is yet to come? Maybe it’s a sort of media focus shift toward that stuff actually happening?
Either way, this is definitely one of those “just have to wait and see how this move plays out” sort of things, because it could be great, as the headlines indicate, or it could be the same bullshit all over.
