His partner also dumped a clip into the vehicle. The officer that got spooked by the acorn literally did not realize he had not been shot until he go to the hospital...

I wouldn't.

I was a bit aggressive on like my second playthrough and ended up killing a couple people to get their medicine. The guy that killed them was too depressed to scavenge and killed himself. Then another person got depressed because of that and wouldn't do anything. Then she got sick and died shortly after. I was too sad to play for awhile after that one.

This War of Mine. Honestly can't believe nobody else has mentioned it.
You play as a group of civilians in a war torn country. By day you craft things needed for survival like a stove for cooking, guns for protection, barricades to prevent raiders. At night you send one person with a backpack to scavenge an area of your choice for things like food, medicine, supplies etc. The others will either sleep or guard the property. Things you do while scavenging have real effects on your characters. Decided to rob an elderly couple? Your characters will react based on their personality.
Things become grim fast if you decide to start robbing supplies or get attacked. Your players get sick, become depressed, starve, get hurt etc. I've never made it to the end.
It's a great way to understand the struggles of being a civilian in a war. The Polish government actually recommends it for educational purposes and the devs have donated a lot of proceeds to charities serving people impacted by war, including Ukraine most recently.

Girls go to HD 189733b to get a degree, boys go to Kepler 11b to get drunk on Hennessy?

It already is an option in certain states in the US and I think parts of Europe.
- Comment on It's almost impossible to deny being an alcoholic without sounding like an alcoholic 11 months ago:
Problem drinking and alcoholism aren't the same though. 9 out of 10 excessive drinkers aren't alcohol dependent. So yeah, while many people who at some point have a problem with drinking can learn to moderate without future issues, I don't know if most of them would fall into the alcohol dependency category.

When I replied, you didn't have all of that info in there. Good for you though, if it works then great!
- Comment on It's almost impossible to deny being an alcoholic without sounding like an alcoholic 11 months ago:
Yeah I'm going to have to agree. I'm an alcoholic myself and this is a problematic way of living with it. Moderation seldom works for alcoholics as it is and by putting your choice to drink on someone else's offerings seems to just be a way to escape any blame should it end in full relapse.
Everybody's journey is different though so I'm not going to judge. But at no point was I able to stop drinking until I straight stopped drinking. As they say "one drink is too much and a hundred isn't enough."

My high school offered US History, Religion History, World History, European History and 20th Century History. US Govt and Economics, Anthropology and Film History were also taught by the same dept and the credits went towards social studies requirements.

Loss leaders work because customers will purchase other products/services. Operating in a market at a loss isn't what a loss leader is.

Scanning your own ID probably won't be a thing since it won't be able to determine whether the ID belongs to you or not.

There's no state that allows recreational purchase under 21. Vapes are considered a tobacco product regardless of nicotine content and also require you to be 21.

Man I hope you stretched before those mental gymnastics, wouldn't want you to pull your victim complex muscle.
- Comment on 5 feet apart = Not gay 1 year ago:
Some Vines are so deeply embedded in my memory that I'm sure I'll still be able to quote them even after the dementia has destroyed my ability to recognize my loved ones.
In hospice, surrounded by grieving loved ones saying their last goodbyes, the nurse watching on as I'm drifting away confused and irritable, doing their best to ensure my passing is as comfortable as possible, with my last breath I'll mutter "road work ahead? Yeah I sure hope it does"...
- Comment on What do you call the next major American holiday which will occur on Monday, October 9th? - Lemmy.world 1 year ago:
They took a holiday about an Italian who had nothing to do with the US much like that man took indigenous people prisoners? That's what didn't sit right with you? So weird to think an Italian funded by the Spanish was somehow important enough to a country that didn't exist for another 300 years that the government made it a federal holiday.
More time passed between him erroneously finding the Americas and the signing of the Declaration of Independence than the US has even been around.
- Comment on Reddit forces personalized ads, starts X-like user payment program 1 year ago:
"preventing users from opting out of personalized ads except for in “select countries.” Reddit didn’t specify which countries are excluded, but the exceptions could include countries falling under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation."
Literally the second paragraph. Reading is fun.
- Comment on Sun Burn 1 year ago:
Anybody can get a sunburn. The melanin in the darkest skin tone only gives a baseline SPF of around 10. While they are far less likely to get burns, it's still possible and when they develop skin cancer it's usually diagnosed in a later stage with a negative prognosis.
Sunburns are radiation burns, and doesn't have to include red skin to be present.
