I initially misread that as ‘gynecological and medical history’ and it put an entirely different and quite unpleasant spin on the whole story.

God said ‘Love thy neighbor’, Karen. If you’re not bi, you’re only loving half your neighbors at best, Karen. Get with the program, Karen.

Yeah… “We can’t undo all of the unprecedented shit the previous admin did because it would set a precedent for future admins” is just about the stupidest argument I can think of. Tear it all down and start from scratch, clearly what we have isn’t working.

Really glad that you like it!

More the combination of the album and the song titles, but At the Soundless Dawn by The Red Sparowes is an instrumental album whose song titles tell the story of how humanity is destroying our planet.

1. “Alone and Unaware, the Landscape was Transformed in Front of Our Eyes”
2. “Buildings Began to Stretch Wide Across the Sky, And the Air Filled with a Reddish Glow”
3. “The Soundless Dawn Came Alive as Cities Began to Mark the Horizon”
4. “Mechanical Sounds Cascaded Through the City Walls and Everyone Reveled in Their Ignorance”
5. “A Brief Moment of Clarity Broke Through the Deafening Hum, but It Was Too Late”
6. “Our Happiest Days Slowly Began to Turn into Dust”
7. “The Sixth Extinction Crept Up Slowly, Like Sunlight Through the Shutters, as We Looked Back in Regret”

The same band also has Every Red Heart Shines Towards the Red Sun, which tells the story of The Great Leap Forward, again through its song titles:

1. “The Great Leap Forward Poured Down Upon Us One Day Like a Mighty Storm, Suddenly and Furiously Blinding Our Senses.”
2. “We Stood Transfixed in Blank Devotion as Our Leader Spoke to Us, Looking Down on Our Mute Faces with a Great, Raging, and Unseeing Eye.”
3. “Like the Howling Glory of the Darkest Winds, This Voice Was Thunderous and the Words Holy, Tangling Their Way Around Our Hearts and Clutching Our Innocent Awe.”
4. “A Message of Avarice Rained Down and Carried Us Away into False Dreams of Endless Riches.”
5. “‘Annihilate the Sparrow, That Stealer of Seed, and Our Harvests Will Abound; We Will Watch Our Wealth Flood In.’”
6. “And by Our Own Hand Did Every Last Bird Lie Silent in Their Puddles, the Air Barren of Song as the Clouds Drifted Away. For Killing Their Greatest Enemy, the Locusts Noisily Thanked Us and Turned Their Jaws Toward Our Crops, Swallowing Our Greed Whole.”
7. “Millions Starved and We Became Skinnier and Skinnier, While Our Leaders Became Fatter and Fatter.”
8. “Finally, as That Blazing Sun Shone Down Upon Us, Did We Know That True Enemy Was the Voice of Blind Idolatry; and Only Then Did We Begin to Think for Ourselves.”

It helps that the music is also great, if you like instrumental stuff.

I learned about it from a story I heard of someone who traveled from the US to Thailand, saw it on the menu at a restaurant and ordered it, expecting it to be the sort of fried rice you’d get in the US at an Asian restaurant. They were unpleasantly surprised.

It’s especially noteworthy in that it’s in Standard at the same time as Bloomburrow, a set about a plane where everyone is anthropomorphic animals and, as such, has an animal creature type.

Even considering that, though, it’s fairly “meh” from a power level standpoint, because the game has just become completely absurd.

Clearly you are unaware that this is a real M:tG card.

Notably, Americans are not the only culture that does this.

There’s a Thai dish called ‘American Fried Rice’ for instance.

American fried rice is a Thai fried rice dish with “American” side ingredients like fried chicken, ham, sausages, raisins, and ketchup.[1] Other ingredients like pineapples and croutons are optional.

At least in any part of America I’ve been to, this is certainly not something you can get here.

It’s fucking embarrassing, honestly. I hope whomever is president next reverses all of the BS executive orders. Like, day 1. You could argue that there’s far more important things to be doing than changing the Gulf of Mexico back to being the Gulf of Mexico, and you’d be right, but doing it on day 1 (along with everything else - just write one executive order that undoes every EO from the prior admin) sends the (important) message that there was nothing of value done by the prior admin, and the legitimacy of the administration is not even being entertained for a moment.

Fate will also coach users through their interactions, if they desire, a functionality Jasmine described as helpful and another user said was “scary” and “a bit like Black Mirror’.

My first thought, too. There were a few Black Mirror episodes that pretty closely mimic this.

If you’re moving, then set some firm boundaries: You will have 1 moving truck (or whatever you’re using) - if it won’t fit in the truck, you can’t keep it, full stop. If there’s something that won’t fit that you absolutely must keep, you’ve got to remove something else to make room for it.

Take it one room at a time, or even one quarter of a room at a time. Don’t cherry pick things to remove - just start at one end and remove everything. It either goes in the dumpster, or it goes in the truck, but it can’t stay in the house, and you’ve got to choose one. There’s no “We’ll decide on this later”.

If there’s things that’re valuable, you might want to sell them rather than throwing them away (or donate or whatever) but in that case you still have to make the decision when you get to it. If it goes in the ‘Donate’ pile, you can’t take it out later - otherwise, you’ll just be going back to it over and over again and making no progress.

The Protomen are my favorite band and it’s not even close.

He did get an R2 unit with it at least. Really, worst case scenario I bet he could sell it for way more than that wheelbarrow of cash is worth.

Or she’ll die prematurely in an accident (maybe x-wing or superhero related) and he’ll die alone after going through life knowing there’s no one as perfect for him as she was.

The newer monster hunter games try to explain it away as functionally conservation efforts, telling you that the ones you’re killing are throwing off the local ecosystem, but it falls pretty flat when they also pit captured ‘research specimens’ against you in the arena they built explicitly for that purpose…

It’s really a great example of the problem: Your ability to conduct commerce has been heavily limited at the whims of a few corporations. That really shouldn’t be able to happen.

Hey, none of that. Around here, all content is valuable, low-effort and shitty or not. As long as it was posted by a human; fuck AI.

That’s cool. I hate that we have to vet every piece of media through the ‘is this AI?’ lens now, but glad to hear it’s legitimate.

The colors in the key don’t even match the colors in the graph, is this just AI generated garbage or do you have actual sources to go with it?
