Just part of the cost of doing business.

I think you misunderstood, it’s FEDRA in both the games and show, so the rationale about DHS integration wouldn’t make sense when applied to games that span 2013-2033 and onwards.

Worth mentioning the games take place in the 2030s, with the outbreak being in 2013. Also, FEMA as a big bad was already a thing in video games like 2000's Deus Ex.

This was, of course, after he organized the March on Rome in October of 1922.

Or, you know, given how common baldness is, you have it yourself or have family members with it and can recall it from memory, bud.

Alopecia just means bald, and can have various causes; in that regard, male and female pattern baldness are otherwise known as androgenetic alopecia. Hair loss in women is also extremely common, the difference isn’t the incidence rate between men and women as much as it’s the social acceptance of it. Now, if you’re…

The State Department does an annual Trafficking in Persons report that looks into human trafficking around the world and how countries comply with standards set out by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Countries are separated into a tiered system, with tier 1 being countries in compliance with minimum standards…

Also thanks to GRETA (Council of Europe’s monitoring body for human trafficking) for pushing Romania to strengthen its anti human trafficking legislation and policies.

What makes it unenforceable to you? There’s plenty of behavior that is regulatable but isn’t for various reasons, and while difficulty of enforceability might be one of those reasons that isn’t necessarily the case in this instance. This isn’t an issue of what the law is, but what the law could be, and if it’s…

doubled down on Cuomo’s mistakes immediately after her first actual election.

NYT coverage on the nomination: “Hochul Taps First Latino Judge To Head ... Top Court, LaSalle, a moderate ... , could anger Democratic lawmakers who wanted ... a progressive.”

Pretty much, though I think it’s worth pointing out that there might also be separate constituencies of independents here, where some of them, hell, even some Democrats, are perfectly fine, maybe even personally better off with Republican control. Parts of Wall Street were anticipating to take off if Republicans won…

But government does have real control over it; Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, and Nixon all exercised some form of price controls over certain goods and services, gas and oil among them, as a way of dealing with demand spikes and profiteering. While the economic consensus is adamantly against their use in the United…

We’ve done two years of these guys and not only is my life not better, it might just be worse, so let’s go with the other guys. There, that’s the thought process.

It’s how best game ever or best stories in games ever lists constantly skew to the last decade of releases.

The guy supplied small nation states and jumped-up militias using Soviet, Eastern European, and Russian materiel, and he’s been out of it for more than a decade. The idea that Russia desperately needs Bout because he’s the only person with the contacts and sanction-dodging knowhow to enable the Russian army to rearm…

I read the comic, there are a couple visual similarities involving something like 2 or 3 panels of art and a minor setting similarity none of which I’d call unique to the comic. That said, the plot, the characters, really the bulk of everything else is different.

70 is a fair price from the developer’s perspective. For players, who have finite attention and time, have to earn that money to spend it, might want to play many games during the year, and have a history of preordering or buying games that end up released in an unfinished state, 70 might not be that fair. In fact,…

Nah, just shows where America’s two political parties have gotten to on the left-right continuum. Or, rather where their prominent politicians happen to be. Biden’s political leanings are pretty squarely in Rockefeller Republican territory. 

If they fall into the same percentages where are you getting 300 and 600 from?
