It is likely a bit of selection bias by cops as well. They target the rich jerks because of the expensive eye catching cars and the truck assholes because they are big and drien bynyokels.
The drunken Camry crew is out there just blending in.
He can be charged for private acts, but as long as he used official communication to discuss it with others that can’t be used as evidence. Then the stacked courts get to decide what is official and private, so private is effectively immune as well.
What a fucking shitshow.
Weaponized diversity!
Agreed in pricipal because family businesses are frequently how knowledge is passed from generation to generation, but family and small businesses can also exploit and not protect children and still need oversight on safety.
I haven’t experienced it, but hear good things about the community.
The player base was always going to decline significantly.
It doesn’t have the same kind of slow grind and wide open maps with tonnes of things to interact with that kept up the populations of a game like WoW or Overwatch, so it was going to naturally decline anyway as most people got their fill of the game play and move on to the next game. Anything that is comparable either had a ton of content that was drip fed or has random loot boxes to keep people playing. This game lets you earn enough to play even the highest levels of play fairly quickly, with getting everything taking a bit longer.
The remaining population is actually pretty high for this kind of game, and it is far from dying. I play randoms when friends aren’t on even though I have unlocked all the upgrades to earn myself medals, but also to help out the other players because the game does promote team play even with all the accidental team kills. I never have to wait when there are more than 1,000 players on a planet, and the there are often several planets with several thousand even when people aren’t grouped up for major orders.
The community is engaged and while there will certainly be more of a decline as time passes, I wouldn’t be surprised if the game gets a significant bump in player activity (old players coming back) when they introduce the next faction. Probably not double whatever population is there when it hits, but maybe 50% increase as people come to check out the new content. I think the rapid release was their original plan to keep the player base going and I’m happy they slowed down to address bugs and do quality of life improvements for a bit.
This game also has the most friendly, or at least least antagonistic, player base I have ever experienced in an online game. Although most random games don’t have anyone speak up unless I do first, people help each other out, attempt to get everyone out, and there is often hugs on the ship after extraction. I have only had one player grief in dozens of random games and one match had someone who was rude. Far, far fewer negative experiences than any other game I’ve played.
It may get down to 3% of the highest number of players and will still be alive and kicking for those that do enjoy the game play.
…half the wearer’s remaining health rounded down.
On average, being more attractive means being more successful. Being successful leads to more money. More money leads to being able to afford more food, less stress due to more economic stability, and more access to better healthcare.
Obviously not 100% guaranteed, but kind of obvious when looking st averages.
Seems like white collar crime is on the rise, but that doesn’t count.
Pretty sure they don’t grow their bicycles either!
There’s a difference that I just can’t put into words.
I can no longer make it through a show with a laugh track. They just spoil the flow.
While they don’t always ruin the thing, so many old shows, movies, and music have a ton of blatant racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. sprinkled in that makes it less enjoyable. South Park’s Chef Aid album has a song that is a combo of Crystal Method, Ozzy, DMX, and I think Wu Tang called Nowhere to Run. It is pretty awesome, except for DMX inserting a few homophobic lines. That asshole ruined a great song!
Overall I notice mean jokes and cruel humor, which is still around to some extent but far less often without the person making the joke clearly an asshole. Stuff like Mel Brooks that included some humor about groups that were frequently mocked, but in a way that is mostly self aware parody, aged pretty well.
People don’t generally get to keep the benefits from a crime, and in this case the money is both evidence and also money she never would have been able to legally receive.
Since it comes from the ceiminals it would be neat to let her keep it as a reward for reporting it, but she probably won’t get to.
I look forward to SCOTUS ruling this was a gratuity instead of a bribe.
When any other country commits genocide, nobody says that country shouldn’t exist. They say that they should stop doing those things.
There were a bunch of countries that were consolidated, created, or had lines redrawn after WWII along with Israel. Other than some choosing to split themselves once they gained autonomy, such as Yugoslavia, nobody is saying that those countries shouldn’t exist.
The only country that regularly has people say it shouldn’t exist is Israel. The only reason people say that is because it is a Jewish ethno state. It is surrounded by ethno states that nobody says shouldn’t exist. The primary people pushing the “Israel shouldn’t exist” are antisemitic groups like neo nazis.
Now, that isn’t to say that creating Israel was a good idea or done for good reasons, but enough decades have passed that it is established. There is plenty of criticism to be had about the genocide, apartheid, borders, and what Israel does wrong without leaping to the antisemitic idea that Israel shouldn’t exist.
Checks out, since they have to distract from ruling that gratuities aren’t bribes.
Yeah, the enemy specific orders seem lind of hit and muss sometimes. Took a bunch of dives to find the tanks one time which was frustrating and I didn’t see spewers yesterday.
It seems like spewers are clustered on specific worlds, where you either see zero or dozens.
