Yes, and? That's exactly why mods exist. The base game continues to improve and to add critical features designed and fleshed out by mod authors. Are you consarned that they haven't all been rolled into the base game?

Many people with a uterus don't actually bleed, but still have a cycle. A tracker is helpful to figure out where you are in your cycle when there isn't a big signal you can rely on every period, by logging and tracking other more subtle cues.

It doesn't have a head like that. It places things in a conceptual space, not a numerical space. To it, a number is just an adjective, like a colour. It is learning to play chess by looking for language-like patterns in the game's transcript. It is never attempting to model the contents of the board in it's "mind".

A proper Faraday cage, a truly excellent one, just the most Faraday of all the cages, is easily defeated by physical attacks such as getting your phone cloned when you get mass arrested and summarily released on OR.

Oh! Shit! Steve Paiken! I really respect his skills. He often winds up interviewing people I have a beef with, and while maintaining a good relationship with his interview subject, he still asks all the questions I would want asked. His ability to make the subject feel safe and respected while giving them difficult questions often results in surprisingly frank answers.

That is incompatible with growing wealth disparity. And the rich will always try to get richer.

Earthing Ed and Joey Carbstrong are both very skilled. Ed has superhuman cool.

The things that make life worth living don't cost money. The things that make life not death cost money.

No sympathy for parents whose ignorance got their own child killed? None? I mean, that's a way to go about life, but IMHO it's a pretty fucked up one.

It doesn't directly affect the parents whether randos have or withhold sympathy for them. That's a choice that we make about what kind of people we want to be and how we relate to the world. "lmao boohoo" is not an appropriate, sane response when a fucking infant dies. Not in any context. Seeing that dehumanizing shit like that being normalized harms everyone who comes into contact with it. I cannot believe this even has to be argued to more than that one person.

Having sympathy for a person, or better yet, having empathy for a person does not mean that you excuse their actions. It doesn't reduce you. It isn't letting them get away with something. It is not unfair, it is not unjust. It grants insight to make better decisions. It enriches you with wisdom and robs the feelings of disgust, reproach, and righteousness we all naturally experience from their ability to warp our own perceptions and decisions.

Jumping to unsupported conclusions, emotional thinking, and lashing out like that makes me wonder if you are in pain [sorry, edited]. So I'll drop the rhetoric and just say plainly: I am fully vaccinated, and I support mandatory vaccination for measles. But that is only responding to an ad hominem. My views and vaccination history have nothing to do with whether laughing and mocking grieving parents is ghoulish or not. That has fucking nothing to do with me and nor should any argument on the subject. Clean your shit up.
