Did they really “fall” for it though? Or did they just spread it because it fit their agenda?

+1 for the Dark Tower books.

But I’d note, there’s a dramatic tonal shift between the first half and the last half.

After book 4, you lose the flashbacks to Roland’s youth and it’s a straight through narrative for books 5, 6 and 7.

I think the accident that almost killed him put the fear of god in him.

Hey, I’ve been doing this 30 years and just learned it today, you have NOTHING to feel bad about. :)

Or cheese.

Glad you enjoyed it! I enjoyed figuring it out!

I was wondering what had happened, seemed like things got super quiet. Flipped over to my lemmy.world account and it was back to normal.

We made treatment voluntary, addicts aren’t choosing it.

Plus, NORMALLY in reporting like this, there would be a link to see if the readers vehicle is impacted. I don’t think Reuters even bothered.

Says it’s updated as of 9/26.

They were, but as somone who has both a One X and a Series X, I did run the game on both and it was not a horrible experience on the One X.

PS4 had it rough and original recipe Xbox One and One S were unplayable, but the One X got by.

But then, I don’t think anyone expected the game would need a full overhaul and, what? 3 years before the DLC would come out?

The thing is, it’s not one off shoplifters. It’s organized gangs of shoplifters.

Police will run enforcement actions from time to time, but it needs to be continual.

“I demand summary judgement!”

“GRANTED!”

“No… not like that…”

IIRC this is the case where his lawyers neglected to ask for a jury trial, so it’s all on the judge and he IS NOT having it…

Security is told explicitly not to engage because Target is afraid of lawsuits.

The game does run. The DLC is not quite the same thing. Good for them for cutting last gen loose. A lot of their problems would have been solved if they did it sooner.

They bought a last gen console after current gen launched, that’s not CD Projekt Red’s problem. Last gen is last gen.

“Characters: Fixed an issue that could cause some characters to not be in their proper location.”

Ooh, I wonder if I can finally pick up that guy in the medbay…

Edit No, no they did not. :(

For quick turns, reduce the speed. I know, I know, counter intuitive.

Yup. I, personally, want 100% vote by mail. We’ve been doing it in my state since 2000, it’s safe, effective, results in high turnout and engagement, really nothing to hate.

Oh, except Republicans lose when more people vote. ;)

The Supreme Court was thrown into chaos because republicans refused to appoint any justices under Obama

Now, now, Obama DID get Sotomayor and Kagan. McConnell only blocked Merrick Garland.

That being said, in my lifetime, Democratic Presidents have only put FIVE members on the court, Republicans got 15. Carter is the one who drew a blank.

Nixon/Ford got as many in their two terms as all the Democrats since then COMBINED.

And Trump should have been removed when he was impeached.
