Not sure which site you're vaguebooking about...
It sounded like hacker news to me, but I imagine other places could have the same behavior.

We need more people whose first thought is “Ew, get that disgusting bum out of my park” if we are ever to have hope of solving this.
We don't need that at all. Indeed, if those people were to stop there (though in fairness you didn't say that should be their only thought) they would be evil people indeed, so if anything I think we very much need fewer such people. What we need in order to solve the immigration problems we have is people who are compassionate, but don't let that impulse override every other consideration. We can, and should, try to help the less fortunate, but also take into account whether third parties will be hurt by our attempts to do so.

I'm looking forward to that one! I'm in the middle of other stuff right now so I haven't bought it yet, but hopefully next month I'll get to it. I'm glad to get another fix of Harry Dresden suffering porn.

Politically, I am an immigration restrictionist and fairly onboard with MAGA. I don’t see a contradiction in saving a migrant’s life in a tragic situation, and advocating that there be fewer such tragic situations, thousands of miles from home
That's because there isn't any. "I wish these people would not come to my country" is not the same as "I wish these people were dead".
Regardless, you did the right thing. Thanks for posting, as reminders to have a compassionate heart are always helpful in my view.

It is. Interpreting it as "they are trying to normalize bugs" is a stretch worthy of Mr. Fantastic himself.

Thank you. I knew the ayy=alien reference, but that just made me more confused because aliens aren't real and all that.

Trails Beyond the Horizon. For those not familiar with the Trails series (wouldn't blame you), it's a series of JRPGs by Falcom. They are pretty traditional turn based JRPG fare (though the newer entries have action battles much to my chagrin), where all the entries are part of a single overarching story. Horizon is the newest one (released last week), and is the 13th entry in the series. It's been fun so far, though I pretty much knew what I was getting when I signed up.
Also have been replaying The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles on switch, whenever I get kicked out of my PC room. I just got the itch to play AA, and I have only played those once so it was a good candidate.

I'm not sure what you mean, but on the face of it I'm extremely skeptical that we should care. If they were not forced, then they are responsible for their decision to join even if they later came to regret it. But perhaps there is some context here I'm missing.

Whether in practice the military actually wages wars that are necessary for the survival of the US, that's an entirely different matter.
Of course, in fairness it must be said that we do not in practice have a draft either. Theoretically we do, but the last time soldiers were drafted was what, Vietnam? Long enough that many men in the US today will never have been at risk of conscription, even if they did have to register with the selective service.

No, because May also has 31 days lol. The rhyme goes "September, April, June, and November".

Yeah, I do. I just checked that sentence and I naturally use my tongue on the last T.

But of course, this example is harder to explain precisely because we think of those two Ts as being the same sound.
Your post really confuses me, because they are the same sound. And, contrary to your argument, I make the T sound on both words by touching my tongue behind my teeth.

I liked the prequel trilogy at the time. It's not perfect, but on the whole I enjoyed it a great deal and think that it was a worthy Star Wars trilogy.

Yeah, though not since I was a kid in the 90s. I remember thinking it was really cool, though I wouldn't be surprised if adult me didn't enjoy it as much.

If you take PTO, that isn't "getting a week for labor day". Getting time off for a holiday is only what your employer gives by default, extra time you take doesn't count.

A company that only did this to extract more money from each sale...
That is literally every company that uses price discrimination. They don't get punished either because of market inefficiencies or because they sell goods that aren't interchangeable with competitors' goods.

That is not a normal-ass hamburger IMO. They don't normally have a bunch of filler added in addition to the beef.

I'm not quite sure if it's about the one true way to play, so much as it is fear of losing something people like. Take your SC2 example: I personally quite agree that SC2 would be a better game without the focus on APM. But to someone who loves SC2 as it exists today, they probably hear that and envision a world where vanilla SC2 is replaced with a version of SC2 where it has all the unit automation. So they push back on it because they don't want to lose the thing they love, and they're afraid that's what would happen.

He did indeed. I and many of my generation knew who Iron Man was even if we weren't comic fans because of that.

And I understand that it's basically there for coding already
That is very much a subject of controversy in the industry. Some people say that is true, others (myself included based on my experience) say that it ultimately slows you down rather than speeds you up.

Just don't watch the Director's Cut, the comic-book scenes add little or nothing to the story.
I feel like there must be two versions of the director's cut or something, because I have the director's cut and there are no comic book scenes. It's just extra live action scenes (nothing super necessary but they are still enjoyable enough).
Great pick though, I love Watchmen. One of the very few movies I've seen which were good enough that I went to see them in the theater a second time.

Tell me... do you feel in charge?
I think the distinction being made is curing individuals with a disease versus eradicating it from the population.
