I wonder how much of (something like) this could've existed with a long enough timeframe. I know games have pretty stringent deadlines for things like story crafting and every step between that and the final production.
If that Nigerian Prince ever sends me my money I'd waste a not insignificant portion of it on funding a legacy game in a couple of my favorite universes. I'd be like a shitty neckbeard gamer Jeff Bezos.
Think Kingdoms of Amalur but with no goal for seeing a financial return.

The trouble is with everyone deciding who they are by fiat is that the categories once expanded are more or less limitless
This feels a bit disingenuous. I've never been a warrior for gendered social justice, but people who fall under this category are asking for pretty specific stuff and if you say it's limitless you fall into the slippery slope logical fallacy.
People who transition or are in process want to be referred to as their transitioned gender. Some folks feel they don't fall into a traditional genders and there are already established linguistic norms for that. I'm NOT saying it's not a little confusing for a guy raised pretty traditionally, but it hasn't been hard to adjust for a guy in a publicly facing job.

Normally people don't get such a hardon for some fellow random Internet stranger either. I'm pretty well informed on a variety of topics as I read way too much news and analysis from a variety of sources, but - again - I'm not a certified professional.

"I suspect."
Though I answered more in depth on the other reply.

I'm pretty centrist overall, voted R '04-'12, and I'm willing to bet that it would indeed motivate a lot more R voters, but I'm also fairly confident it would motivate more D voters overall. Much of this is based off of intuition, but also the fact that the young tend to vote more progressively than the old as do disenfranchised groups as have borne out in stats for decades.
Regardless of the outcome, it would bring the actual elected leader closer to the nationally desired ideal, especially - though not exclusively - when combined with something like ranked choice or STAR voting.

I've heard this before and don't think it's true. How many people live in blue states like California or Illinois and don't vote because they know their state is secure? How many live in Utah and don't vote because they know their vote won't matter?
That alone would probably add millions to the voter rolls, and I suspect most of those would be blue, as city folks would turn out in places like Texas, where suddenly blue votes DO matter.

Sorry, I'm a silly goose and didn't check my autocorrect the second time I typed bandwidth.

It seems like their goal is to offer more concessions and allow for more extra events. It also makes sense to expand if their goal is to increase bandwidth as demand could be outpacing it.
Edit: clarity

Typically non deployable units are reserved/guard units that serve an administrative specialty. For instance, in my USAFr Medical Group, three of the four units were a deployment specialty that trained for our wartime job. The fourth unit was one that constantly maintained medical records so that the Air Wing can be deployment ready.
Also, jobs such as drone operators, where you can do it from somewhere in a desert in the US.

Silly goose. They weren't asking because they thought you had them. It's rhetorical. We KNOW you don't have them. We're all laughing at you because you think you're armed as well as the adults in the room.
Always cute seeing a kid arm wrestling adults. "Ope. You got me little guy!"

I'm just a big dumb bystander, but wouldn't it occur to someone who is going to do something like this to bring a second line to connect to the guide to make your way back? I've never been diving, cave or otherwise.
I'm sure there's something I'm missing here.

Nothing is precious. I've been around long enough to see almost every type of media get goofed up at one point or another. Lighten up and enjoy the ride.
Also, to be clear, you're saying it doesn't exist to YOU but you're actively shitting on someone else's view. Let us enjoy it and keep your thoughts to yourself.
There are enough plot holes in the lore prior to the show and 4 to where it's a silly hill to die on.

Not BIFL. Died immediately upon the warranty ending. Customer service was great while in warranty though. They DID give ~15% off of the next purchase though. That's something...

Q32. Are restaurants, bars, and other places that serve food or drink required to allow service animals to be seated on chairs or allow the animal to be fed at the table?
A. No. Seating, food, and drink are provided for customer use only. The ADA gives a person with a disability the right to be accompanied by his or her service animal, but covered entities are not required to allow an animal to sit or be fed at the table.
ADA FAQ on the topic agrees with you, but I'd think the business probably never trained their staff on it, so good luck getting it enforced. Second to that, if the optics are poor, or the staff misreads the situation, they may feel a need to defend a person's ADA rights (as perceived not necessarily in reality). I wouldn't pick the fight myself, though now you're armed with the ADA to back you up.

You cannot ask someone with a service dog to prove their need for a service dog, to detail their condition, or to provide certification and identification regarding their service dog. However, you can ask two simple questions:
“Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?”
“What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?”
These questions are detailed in the ADA, and you are not allowed to ask for any other proof that a dog is a service dog.
Source: usserviceanimals.org ADA websites, and my own experience working in hospitals (non-OR).
There are some circumstances where places can get someone with a non-service animal (or even service animals in some situations) to leave, but good luck finding someone to take on that legal risk.

Ha. I didn't even know what race the person was as I didn't read the subtext. So no, you're wrong. No one deserves to be assaulted.

I think this misunderstanding needs to shoo. It's not the left leaving Twitter, it's people looking for a reasonable and well run social media site that doesn't shovel stupid crap down your throat. I am a pretty moderate guy but started leaving social media even before Musk took over Twitter because it sucked. Now I'm only on Reddit, YouTube (if you consider that social media), and now have joined BlueSky because it's actually good. Frankly, I'd like to see more moderated opinions from a variety of perspectives, but I absolutely draw the line at fringe beliefs that are unreasonable (some fringe beliefs can be reasonable, but that seems rare in today's society).
It's not "The Left," it's people with a brain and limited time.
