I could excuse this as entirely accidental had the person running over the chicken been the lead car, and the chicken suddenly leapt out into the road. Someone else had stopped to let the chicken cross, and this person either presumed they knew better than the stopped driver and whipped around them, or they simply didn't care. I doubt people would be looking to excuse the driver's actions had the first lady been stopped for a little kid who ran out into the the road that our chicken killer wouldn't have been able to see through an entire car obstructing their vision. At the very least, the second driver acted irresponsibly, if not with wanton disregard for the potential hazards.

Here's the neat thing, though, they can be the least awful party, while still being absolutely awful and ultimately aiming for essentially the same thing as the most awful party. Just look at all the ghouls in the Democratic Party and associated apparatuses coming out of the woodwork to attack Zohran Mamdani for a damn mayoral race, out of fear that he might expose the lie that the Dems aren't serving the same masters as the GOP and working against the interests of the vast majority of the people in this country. The greatest difference between the two parties, at this point in time, is that the Dems are willing to wait longer to formally install our corporate overlords as our new lords and masters, and they'll wave a gay flag and pay lip service to the plight of minorities if that's what's needed to ultimately achieve the goal. But they will also ruthlessly go after anyone and everyone, within or outside the party, who would threaten to derail their plan and actually represent and advance the interests of the masses, rather than those of the few who aim to sit on thrones made of their own obscene wealth and the human suffering they created to amass said wealth.

You're a frog being slowly boiled alive, calling out to the rest of us that the water is fine and asking us to jump in the pot with you. No thanks.

More specifically, an Indian divider for large numbers, kind of like how 万 (read 'man') works in Japanese. While Japanese (and I think Chinese) divide numbers greater than 1,000 in increments of 1万, or 10,000, up until you hit 100,000,000, in India, large numbers get split into lakh, representing groups of 100,000.

They're going just about as well as they are everywhere else in the US, barring that one guy in Texas that got killed opening fired on a Border Patrol facility the other day. Before you get too snarky, let's have some examples of the folks in states that always have a hard-on for gun ownership who are actually proving what you're implying here? Oh, the good gun-owners generally aren't rising up, but those states are actually welcoming the Gestapo with open arms, since they voted for this? What a surprise.

Keep on living in your fantasy world that the 2nd Amendment bros are going to actually get off their asses and do something about it. Other than cheering it on, that is.

And the Democrats had 4 years they squandered to put Trump in prison for inciting an insurrection, or find a new candidate to run, yet they chose to do neither.

That's pretty serious.

not caring enough to vote.

Due in no small part to the jackass you're defending and people like him in the DNC showing that they weren't actually interested in anything but their own power and money, even if it meant squandering the opportunity to prevent this very outcome. The same politicians who have proven these people right by putting up no real resistance as they rubber stamped Trump's cabinet picks and policy decisions in Congress, only to wring their hands on TV about how dangerous it is and text me asking for another donation so they could sit on their hands some more.

Get serious.

Ah, yes, the guy who chose to ignore the multiple opportunities presented to him to literally render Trump's return to power impossible, barring a violent uprising, yet who sat on his hands instead is the real victim here. Shame on anyone criticizing our poor new Neville Chamberlain for appeasing fascists while also refusing to even consider ceding power to anyone who would have been willing to seriously put the screws to Trump. Truly, one of the greatest victims of our times.

If you understand perfectly, you've yet to demonstrate this. The ask is to remove superfluous, anti-consumer design elements like always-online connections for single-player games, or shuttering official servers with no mitigation plan for those who wish to play the game after this occurs, and people have asked for changes to these, specific sorts of anti-consumer design choices. Meanwhile, you're over here big brain posting about "That's not a design change! Now, turning a 100-player online battle royale game into a single player JRPG, that would be a design change!" It's no great wonder that you're being treated as either a troll or an idiot when you've manage to misunderstand something so fundamental, while confidently insisting time and again that you alone get it, and everyone is just misguided.

My big question would be what would that add? If you speak Japanese, Spanish and French, 日本語, Español and Français would give you all the information you need. Adding the language name in a second language would increase the work to do, while also not really providing any benefit that I can see. If you manage to change the language to Spanish, or are using somebody else's device, "English" is no less helpful for you than "English (Inglés)" would be.

I kind of doubt that Zohran will have the same arc, since he's campaigning directly against the vested interests of the owners of our major media outlets. I could see him becoming an outside force too large for them to ignore, who ultimately forces them to change tactics, though.

At the moment, he's an outlier of a candidate for them to try and beat down, and the mainstream media will fight tooth and nail to keep him that way, since him inspiring a broader insurgency of proper leftwing candidates to challenge "progressive" establishment Dems represents an existential crisis for them.

A successful term as mayor for Zohran could well sound the death knell for them if it leads to either a Tea Party style takeover of the Democrats, or produces enough momentum to lead to a proper third party that unseats the Democrats from their position as the GOP-lite party of controlled opposition. Imagine what could happen if those media organizations had to face a properly funded public broadcasting service, for example, that gained broad purchase amongst the public.

I don't know, you get different vibes in different cities. Not exactly the same thing, but I (a pasty white guy) wear a Brujería hat I bought at a concert around NYC all the time, and the most that will ever happen is somebody asking me if I know what it is/about the band, then telling me how much they like them, or some old religious ladies freaking out about it being the Spanish word for witchcraft. Wearing the same hat in Los Angeles earlier this year, in different subway stations, I had a few cholos just glaring at me the whole time I was there and looking for a fight.

Some cities are a lot more segregated than others to this day, and you get places where you won't be treated well if you're not from the right group. Others, people just stick to themselves, for one reason or another. Like, if your car breaks down in Newburgh, NY, or the wrong part of Newark, NJ, you're probably not getting any help from strangers, and if someone does come to help you, there's a decent enough chance they're trying to either rob you or carjack you. In some cities, about the most someone will do to help you out if you're in trouble is to suggest that you don't belong where you are, and that you ought to reconsider what you're doing there.

Nah, just a regular noodle ball of nope. Unless they bite you, it gets infected and you choose to ignore it, about the worst a garter snake will do to you is cover whatever part of you is touching them in some stinky piss. Like, leave them alone unless it's absolutely necessary, but garter snakes are pretty chill.

Garter Snakes

Garter snakes were long thought to be non-venomous, but discoveries in the early 2000s revealed that they produce a neurotoxic venom.[12] Despite this, garter snakes cannot seriously injure or kill humans with the small amounts of comparatively mild venom they produce and they also lack an effective means of delivering it. In a few cases, some swelling and bruising has been reported.[13] They do have enlarged teeth in the back of their mouths[14] but their gums are significantly larger and the secretions of their Duvernoy's gland are only mildly toxic.[13][15]
