True. I rarely ever drink energy drinks but just the smell of a redbull nearly makes me sick, that could be due to some foggy memories of Jaeger bombs however.

He is writing a new book that is titled like an autobiography but actually horror fiction about the reality we are in. This is just part of the marketing for said book.

No, but these beads pretty much go straight into the local waterways where they can very quickly break down into micro plastics. All so a human didn’t have to use a tool like a brush or a loofa to scrub themselves. Convenience at any cost.

There is also CAFE standards that made small, effecient vehicles require extremely high emissions standards while allowing looser standards for larger, less effecient vehicles. Effectively limiting foriegn market influence while increasing both the price and size of the average vehicle on American roads.

Some areas have mushrooms that are so similar the only reliable way to identify them is using a spore print.
Plants and animals tend to have more distinct identifying features like leaf paterns, bark texture or hair color.

Pretty sure big oil and car companies have been bailed out by the US government in the past. Plus america designs most of its cities so that you need to own a car. Seems like both markets are equally “free” at the end of the day.

I’d argue comfort could come after more time together in the right circumstances. Many couples choose to live with one sides parents to save money given the housing shortage many countries are facing. The catch is, this typically only works when both the parents and the couple are respectful of each others privacy and boundaries. This often equates to turning a basement into an apartment with sperate bathroom and kitchen/kitchenette.
- Comment on I'm not okay. 5 weeks ago:
YMMV but i still see lots right around dusk at the edges of wetland areas. Not denying they are threatened but there are still some places they are able to live and those places should be protected. Wetlands do a lot more for us ecologically and hydrologically speaking than just fireflies anyway and are one of the most important ecosystems to be protected.

Dragonflys, bats and many other animals rely on that as a food source, then other animals rely on the animals eating mosquitoes. Mosquitoes also spread disease which can act as a natural population control for some species. Everything is interconnected in ecosystems. The animals present, the temperature and chemistry of the water, the depth and nutrition of the soil, the plants that grow there. A minor change can ripple throughout the ecosystem and cause major consequences long term. Some of those changes occur naturally, but for the most part humans change ecosystems faster than they can naturally react.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 2 months ago:
Lots of respect for Doug Cockle, the VA. He could use the outcry to try to get another big deal and make more money as the main character, but instead he recognizes the witcher is bigger than him or his character and is happy to have another person take the lead role and the spotlight.

Its gotta be, the devs of the game would want you to trust the advisor so they’d make them charismatic and friendly.

Most of the conspiracy theories involve that shadow group opressing people, removing rights from people, hiding truths, and transfering wealth to the higher classes.
A lot of what trump is doing goes along with that. I think this is not solid evidence against shadow government theory.
- Comment on Is it weird to juggle in the park? 2 months ago:
Ive seen this a lot and i don’t think it is weird. One thind I’ll mention is people are probably going to stop and watch you, ask questions, maybe even ask if they can try. If that won’t bother you while practicing then I’d say go for it and get out there juggling. You could probably leave a hat or something on the ground and people will toss you a couple of coins just for letting them watch.
- Comment on Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong? 2 months ago:
I’d argue the DLCs did more than you imply. The extra modes of transit gave more options to move people, painting a custom park area made cities feel more realistic than premade square parks, universities could be a great centerpiece for a neighborhood. Its not like vanilla was unplayable, but the DLC defintely added more creativity for me.

In wet areas or areas during a snow melt, sump pumps are a big factor. Many people have emergency generators or battery back up pumps if their sump pit has a lot of flow.
Also rural people will often lose power to their water pumps and disinfection equipment for drinking water.

I never played cs1 on release, only played after it was nearly 10 years old, but my understanding is it vastly improved over updates and dlc (which unfortunately did cost more but did at least add meaningful changes for the most part).
Im curious to see where CS2 stands in 3-5 years when mods have really taken off and the devs had made most of their major tweaks.
- Comment on Should I continue with exercise if I didn't get enough sleep? 2 months ago:
Maybe if you feel you can’t get back to sleep, do your exercise early. Maybe it’ll save you time later for a nap or an earlier bed time. I find if i wake and feel decently rested even if its not wake up time i prefer to just start my day there than interupt another sleep cycle.
- Comment on Stop wasting taxpayer money! 2 months ago:
Not only health from exercise, but also a reduction in car crash related injuries, and the whole city benefits from cleaner air with less cars on the road. Theres also the huge financial savings because each mile traveled by bike is far less expensive for society than a car mile (road surfacing, signage, registration, traffic enforcement, subsidized parking, less pavement needed for a bike lane vs a car lane, etc)
