Getting prion disease from crops?

Long time resident of California (SoCal in particular), can confirm haughtiness. I've grown increasingly prideful of my state for holding strong on specific human right issues.

You're also right about the increasing disparity though. It feels like stratification is getting stronger and stronger each year. The Beach Cities area in particular, from my experience, where they're building a bunch of (very expensive) flats. California has had a history of states shipping homeless/refugees to us and that doesn't help our increasing number of state-grown displacements.

Since you mentioned BSG, I wanted to recommend Babylon 5. It’s got a cohesive story planned from the get go, and is as good as space opera gets IMHO. There are plenty of historical parallels to draw, my favorite being the Roman Republic inspired Centauri. (Commercial TV from the 90s, so nothing R rated here.)

More recent, and more historical, would be the German Netflix series Barbaren (Barbarians). It might be too roman history focused for your tastes, but it got a glowing review from my family abroad. (I do believe this has more gore and sexual content, I just don't remember to what extent.)

Firstly these are both inspired and adorable, but I also love how open you are about players using the files!

As someone who has to deal with small pockets these new flip phones have been interesting to me. I'm just worried about how long that screen will last.

In response to the tile comment ‘apparently it’s a thing’. It is, and unfortunately has been. This is non consensual pornography and it’s awful.

Neodori Forever - 46 reviews (Positive) is also part of the Summer Sale!

I just picked this up and it's a fun and vibrant, pixel graphics, arcade style drifting game. There's a 'story' mode followed by an endless mode to keep you busy and the soundtrack made its way onto my playlist. I don't have a Steam Deck, but it seems like it'd be a good fit.

I had a great time with Final Fantasy XV near the top of this year. I had a ton of fun with the floaty combat and the character moments! The game got patched up for PC, so the only problem I had was that they stopped support after the rough release and didn't finish the story they intended to tell.

This led me to pick up Forspoken (same devs) as well despite the negative press. I can't think of a movement system I've enjoyed more. The writing isn't as awful as everyone says (IMHO) and the spell casting focus with parkour woven in is just chefs kiss. Slap on some tunes and grind out my masteries was how I spent a good month. Huge fan of the cuff character as well (no spoilers). Honestly was devastating to hear the studio close, because the DLC just released was pretty rad too.

Edit - RIP the double post bug got me too. Deleted comment's just a copy of this

Tixati for PC, Transmission for Mac is how I’ve had it for a while. No complaints!

'Transgender people could therefore come under investigation regardless of which bathroom they use.'

I know it's preaching to the choir here, but we all know that's the point of all this. Can't wait for mandatory genital examinations from the party that keeps complaining about grooming.
