I probably believed that before George Bush Sr. and Jr. (middle east, etc), now I don’t think anyone will actually be held accountable unless it’s a U.N. styled group but even then the people who are “useful” won’t see any type of repercussions (like operation paperclip with ww2).

those are co-workers though, everyone has stupid co-workers. It’s like that whole “you can’t choose your family” thing but corporatized.

Oh man! You’ve just giving me something that I think will really help stoke the fire in my relationship!

I’ve never really been into sexual roleplay and it’s one of the things my partner previously expressed an interest in. We regularly game together either doing co-op or single player since we feel it’s more engaging sometimes than zoning out on a movie., so the recommendations like “Leap of Love” sounds like the perfect gaming/drinking night that might kinda dip into the roleplaying aspect!

I really wish I claimed it when I saw it, just a few clicks and I’m kicking myself for it now. Are there any others you or anyone else would recommend that are more fantasy roleplay focused and might be good for two people?

Not the Onion community is seriously having to work overtime in this presidency.

An anarchist who believes in collective punishment? Is this a typical thing?

The problem with that is it will just be a bunch of traumatized kids who have been indoctrinated and used as cannon fodder while the real problems are hidden behind keyboards and walled gardens. Children who have been taught that everything bad that happens to them is the fault of this “other” group they fear and don’t understand because of the sheltered and twisted world they’re born into.

Authoritarians would LOVE for this country to be split, much easier for branches of control to take over.

It takes 285kWh of gas and 15kWh of electricity to cremate a single person. The CO2 this generates is roughly the same as an 800km car journey. Cremation also accounts for 16 per cent of the mercury pollution in the air, from dental fillings. (link)

In response to the environmental impact of traditional cremation, alternative methods such as alkaline hydrolysis, also known as water cremation, bio-cremation, or green cremation, have emerged as more eco-friendly options. Alkaline hydrolysis is a chemical process that uses water, heat, pressure, and alkaline chemicals to break down the body, resulting in a sterile liquid that can be safely released into the local wastewater treatment system or used as fertilizer, and bone residue that can be returned to the family.

Guess I’m signing up to be goo!

Just as a curious follow-up, did they go into what would happen if your body is rejected or is there already a back-up plan in place?

Would the bodies really be at a funeral home though? Maybe like during covid when they were running out of space in some locations but generally I think it only gets sent to a business if the paperwork is done. Would be weird to just start sending random bodies to different funeral homes across the cities every time someone dies. (I have no idea btw)
