I forced myself to finish it. It’s just mass effect 1 but awful. That said, if they just wanted to restart Andromeda and pretend the first one never existed, I’d give it a shot. There’s so much potential in the idea but it was squandered in every possible way

It strengthened/increased the amount of nonliving connective tissue in your skin. This tissue provides a “scaffolding” of sorts to your skin cells to live on. It’s also the reason your skin is more firm or elastic. Fun fact: men and women’s skin have different connective tissue structures due to how hormones interact with your body’s formation of collagen. When trans people start taking HRT meds, their skin texture changes!

Think of it like flour in a cake. It’s a bulky ingredient that serves as a binding agent that helps to evenly distribute the things you actually want in a cake. Sugar, fat, flavorings, etc. Without flour your cake would just be a big goopy mess

Not as well as if you were into it. Endorphins > enjoyment

En serpant, a classy move

Not quite wrapping my head around aegis, what’s the point? It seems like a password manager, more or less

That’s awesome, congrats OP! Glad things are working out for you

Not to mention the automatic placement of water pipes when you lay down roads. That’ll save a lot of time and allow you to focus on the more engaging aspects of the game more

I’m actually looking at your neighbor to the east! CT seems to be a bit cheaper and a better fit. However I’m open to suggestions for affordable places that would be welcoming to my pinko commie ass

Oh God someone please get me the fuck out of Florida

Do yourself a favor and get some ceramic stuff as well to replace your nonstick. Works just as well, lasts longer and is easier to maintain. You won’t have to worry about microplastics with it either

Does she not care for ceramic coated pans? They work just as well, are more durable and are easier to maintain than nonstick. What’s not to love? Honestly, I haven’t even used stainless since getting a good set of ceramic cookware, I get a great sear and deglaze a pan just fine with ceramic

Or something along the lines of being a background/supporting character in some grand fantasy adventure. The story isn’t about you; you exist within a greater plot that isn’t hinging on your actions. Basically I want NPC the game lol. I’m sure there’s a way to do it in an interesting manner

You do understand that, when being discussed empirically, nonviolent protests often includes riots and looting right? Here you go.. I’d also like to add that your own source states that violent protest is effective. And that nonviolient, nonnormative protests are better at garnering public support. They article states the author personally believes those protests may be better at introducing change. Not that it is. They think it might. For a more thorough look into things here’s a video that’s worth your time and consideration.

Riots are the voices of the unheard. The French govt has a long and proud tradition of violently oppressing protests. Things in France have been contentious all year over a variety of issues. What exactly are the French people supposed to do? A letter writing campaign to stop having their rights stripped away? Sit quietly outside of Parliament and ask nicely to stop being oppressed? Politely ask that the pigs only crush their neck a little? If you abhor disruptive and violent political action done by the people, surely you’ve found the non-violent alternative that works better. What is it?

The pandemic has done a lot to increase class consciousness and workers movements across the globe. It’s always encouraging to hear stories of workers taking their rights back, no matter how bleak things look most days

I’m sick of the hobbit courage erasure!

It looks terrible to this american. We do some pretty egregious food crimes. But we also have barbecue so it evens out

Are we still memeing about CBAT? He should’ve done that

Where did I claim 65% of the population was actively suppressed? I’m assuming you’re talking about my comment. Never said that. As a matter of fact, I never said anything about voter suppression at all and neither did the comment above mine.

The Dems ran a weak campaign with the human equivalent of a wet fart for a candidate. The progressive candidate, Nikki fried, hardly received any mainstream coverage (I wonder why) and lost the primaries. You were right that people didn’t feel motivated to vote. I worked to change that but at the end of the day,.I don’t really blame anyone for not turning up to vote for a spineless, moderate, ex-republican-cum-democrate. The people want change. And that wasn’t what the Dems were offering.

However, I would like to add, that voter suppression is a much larger issue than you’re making it out to be. And not a lot of it is the highly visible forms that you’ve been describing. Just a few ways that people have been prevented from voting:

-Vote by mail ballots being disqualified

-vote by mail becoming more restricted

-Making voter registration difficult and inaccessible

-Arresting people for voter fraud on no legal basis

-voter intimidation via poll watching

-Gerrymandering

And those are just what I could think of off the top of my head. Thats just a part of a greater conversation on how our elections are poorly designed. How first past the post voting, leads to a lot of the problems we have today. How the electoral college should be abolished. How the bills our government pass don’t correlate at all with popular support/majority opinion. I could go on. The extraordinary evidence you want to see is out there. Voter suppression and terrible election practices are a blight on this country.

Meatballs opposition was former republican governor Charlie Crist. The dem candidate was about as lackluster as possible, to the point that I think it was almost intentional. At least on Crists’ part. We had Nikki Fried running for the seat too and she got pushed out in a similar fashion as Bernie did back in '16. I kind of get why many people weren’t racing to the polls last year but it still sucks and desantis was clearly an existential threat to the state. The FL Dems need to engage their younger base because this “lesser of two evils” crap is killing the country
