  We had a massive lecture hall (500-1000 student capacity) at my uni, inside of the lecture hall, there were men’s and women’s bathrooms without doors, but with like the hidden S curve

  Someone took an explosive shit all over the sink.

  And we had a midterm exam with the worst smelling shit I’ve ever smelled.

  Weather related or due to lack of investment?

  I used to live off of 3 miles of dirt road that was not maintained by anyone. After hurricanes sinkholes would open or the road would flood with 1-5 feet of water.

  During this time, paramedics or fire department would use boats, helicopters, or swim if neither was available…

  Well, nut and grain milk are much more costly, so I doubt that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is stupid on the surface, BUT “milk” in some jurisdictions is protected with legal standards. This prevents watering down or other issues.

  I am not familiar with the UK, so I don’t know if this is applicable.

  In the US, “ice cream” is protected and has to meet standards, otherwise it is called a “frozen dairy dessert”.

  Additionally, in the US we recently had a massive butter recall from Costco because it did not label “dairy” as an allergen. Common sense indicates butter contains milk, HOWEVER, these allergen labels are the law and the allergens feed into downstream items. IE, if you use the butter to make brownies, then the brownies must be labeled. If you automate this process or whatever, you could miss this, due to it not being labeled correctly.

  This is the kind of out of touch thinking that is why Harris lost.

  It literally doesn’t matter how great the economy is if people are struggling, and they are.

  No one gives a shit about how much the GDP grew, they can about the price of eggs and milk.

  Harris repeated biden saying the economy is great and ignored that there are people struggling and focusing in on messaging to help them.

  I know her policies might have helped the average American, but no one reads policies anymore, unfortunately.

  As I mentioned in other comments, I have no illusions that Gary Bowser is innocent or didn’t bring this all on himself. It’s his own fault he kept doing what he was doing.

  However, the court doesn’t follow Gary from job to job initiating the process to garnish his wages.

  It’s nintendo who is continuing to persecute Gary at this point, not the courts. Garnishing someone’s minimum wage job as a billion dollar corporation is uniquely evil.

  I could be wrong, but I have not seen anything remotely close from EA, activision, blizzard, Microsoft, Sony, etc. and my original point was this is uniquely evil to Nintendo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that bowser brought the final outcome on himself, however, that does not expunge Nintendo of guilt.

  They continue to collect their 30% or however much it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean they take like 33% of that guy named bowser’s life earnings. Which are severely reduced because they also got him thrown in jail for a felony.

  That’s pretty uniquely evil

  Red engine was hitting its limits.

  UE allows them to focus on gameplay and contents over building the core engine.

  Think about cyberpunk? The engine was fine (if unoptimized) but the gameplay and contents were missing.

  UE will allow them to focus on their missing skillset

  I mean if it was literally Hitler come back to life, sure.

  They shouldn’t have grouped “always” and “sometimes”.

  It means that people who are hard line anti religion and would yell at someone if they dared to express the tiniest support for a religion to people who would protest or yell at someone who is widely accepted as bad.
