This is why minorities are a prime scape goat for politicians.
Why be mad at some faceless corporation/politician, when you can blame the world’s issues on Garry that you see in the supermarket?

No. They’re aiming for that regardless.

Actually, I didn’t know. Never heard it used in an offensive context before today. But I’ll edit my comment just the same.

Airbags, Anti lock Brakes, and hopefully leg room are probably bonuses too.

Eeh.
While I agree with the sentiment, I think we’re in this situation because of the current medical climate.

You call an ambulance? You get charged an arm and a leg.

You take yourself to the hospital, you get charged an arm and a leg.

You get medical insurance, and you’re somehow even further behind because it’s their priority to find reasons to deny having to give you money back,
The current system does not work. As a consequence, people are attempting, however incompetently, to take their care into their own hands.
Fix why folks are resorting to this, and this should stop being an issue, or at least stop gaining traction.

Butter used to be dyed yellow. Now no one bats an eye that it’s off white.
It takes time, but new normals take over.

Rok would still be considered an adolescent, if the lore from Star Trek: New Frontier applies, from which her species was largely fleshed out.
At that age, she would be very gruff and moody, only after molting in her 30’s (I think?) would she regain her more bubbly personality.

Dairy cows and beef cows are different breeds. There’s hardly any overlap worth mentioning. For the purposes of these kinds of reports, they might as well be different species.

Is that last one granting access to closed APIs?
That’s a double edged sword if I ever heard one.

Not impossible. Freeman was effectively the villain for S1 of Lower Decks, despite clearly being one of the good guys.
And Prodigy demonstrates how a personal vendetta can net some kids a nemesis, despite largely minding their own business.

Automakers care about how much R&D they have to invest and the impact on the quarterly profits. ICEs are dirt cheap in that regard, and it took the federal government bribing them to do so.

Because US automakers and oil interest groups actively sought to keep the status quo?
I would recommend looking into a USB Ethernet adapter.
I liked to use a three tiered approach…
Back when we could jailbreak our iPhones I’d use this and overwrite the system’s hosts file. I still use it on my Mac, even if I can’t on iOS anymore.
A VPN is an excellent solution, but when selecting one, you have to read the privacy policy and NOT give the policy the benefit of the doubt. I’ve seen a few that give themselves permission to share your info while making it sound reasonable. I use lockdown personally.
For Safari Extensions, 1Blocker is what ai currently use.
Feels like XKCD prior to XKCD… or however you spell it.
Oh god it’s DDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!

According to the article, it won’t qualify for the federal tax incentive, so yeah… probably.
- Wooster@startrek.websitetoNintendo@lemmy.world•[Official] Switch 2 will be announced this fiscal year + June direct confirmedEnglish9·1 year ago
Star Fox tends to launch at the end of a console’s life… so there’s that maybe.
Sakurai has been up to something… probably the next Smash, but I can always dream it’s a new or even remade Kid Icarus.
And probably some last minute WiiU ports.
Metroid Prime 4 is probably too high profile to leave to the switch… (and Mario hasn’t had a launch title since the N64, maybe GCN at a stretch) but they could always pull a Twilight Princess I suppose.
Uhhh…
I was interested until I read that.
