The state trial against Mangione will come before his federal trial, prosecutors said.
WTF? I never heard about federal charges-- isn’t that double jeopardy?
Like the reporter said, they might be trying to make it so there are no copycats, but they clearly don’t understand the number of people that wouldn’t want to be making it out alive. Their trumped up charges aren’t a deterrent.
If I were USian, I’d be mega-pissed that they are making the CEO’s death out like Luigi killed the king.

I’m not sure you meant to reply to me? I was just tryin to stick up for you against Johnny No-Posts.
I never advocated Bird Violence; I am Friend to Bird and had three bestie Steller’s Jays during the lockdown. They visited multiple times a day for nuts, and would wait for me on the patio.

As a Canadian, have you ever met a Canada goose?
I feel you OP.
Also, telling someone they should be embarrassed is toxic. WTF is with all the shaming on Lemmy lately? Be better.

In it’s first three months, Canada’s new Dental care plan has 75% of dentists signed up and 2.3m people.
As part of a phased rollout, the government began accepting claims for dental coverage for seniors in May and expanded eligibility to children under the age of 18 and Canadians with a valid Disability Tax Credit certificate in June.
Remaining eligible Canadians are scheduled to gain access in 2025.

I quit a few months after those came out in my province, and it was a bit of a shock the first time I saw them; but then like most things, they just became stripes on the butt. I probably wasn’t their target audience though.
While they didn’t make me quit, (I had already decided on my “quit date”), I will say the extra graphic warning pictures were pretty damm effective for starting that conversation with self. I had to take a sharpie to a few packs.

Same. Dude started off on the semblance-of-sanity side and then betrayed logic and science in multiple stunning acts of pure idiocy.
This is Judas-as-metaphor, not picture The Last Supper.

Ya, I wanted to use a bland spy but there aren’t any-- I was going to use the Spy vs Spy guys because they are the most generic-looking, but ultimately I kept Powers because while he is stylish and fun, he is also really immature and the logo looks immature to me.

It doesn’t say “car” at all either; no elegance or prestige. It looks like a logo for bottled water or something.

Not who you asked, but here is another one:
clover lawn pic. Very bright green
Planted by my septuagenarian father with just seeds and water. This is three weeks in. He had to water a bunch at first while it was taking root, but it should need less water than grass. The grass prior was pretty toast, but he took the time to remove crabgrass.
I will take a nap on it next time I visit and let you know :)

- Comment on Every game developer company should be like this 1 year ago:
While I agree lootboxes are shite, and was dismayed when they brought them in, you can have them turned off in PoE if you have a compulsive/gambling issue (email support and they disable the purchase). Also, anything in a lootbox goes to the shop after the league ends, so you can just purchase the item. They also give a crap tonne of skins as challenge rewards for leagues, so you always be stylin’.
As for difficulty-- it has a steep learning curve! But once you get your sea legs (and later, Path of Building; free, community run) it’s impossible to go back to something like Diablo, imo. The intricacy and constant new leagues are the only reasons I’m still playing it seven years later :)
- Comment on Every game developer company should be like this 1 year ago:
I have to mention the single game I know of that doesn’t follow the model. Path of Exile is completely F2P, all microtransactions are purely cosmetic. Some argue you need to purchase more stash tabs than the base four the game comes with, but I think if you’re playing enough to need more tabs, it may be worth it to buy.
For me, I wanted to supports the devs, so I have a ridiculous amount of skins, pets, and portals from supporter packs, which have no bearing on your character.
And there is a new league/expansion every three months for free. That’s why it’s been kicking Diablos arse for years.
