Why would you think your Presidential vote doesn't matter because you're rural? It's a popular statewide election. It certainly does matter.

Yeah but how many have mandated RTO hours? I know Amazon is demanding two-hour minimums for their office workers. A far cry from fulltime but not exactly commuter friendly.

I have. I've lived in HOAs where utilities, gardening/lawn care, parking lot upkeep, trash/recycling, community center, were taken care of by the HOA.

You only hear about bad HOAs because people in those HOAs only care about property values from aesthetics. In reality, a good HOA is like a properly run union - taking care of its members by providing cheaper, common services via collective bargaining.

Considering that all of the platforms have the "non-transferable" clause in their EULAs... It seems to be an industry issue, not a Steam one.

For almost 20 years, Google's phones have been pretty friendly to ROM flashing. I suspect that so long as Apple and Samsung have such a large market share, that will continue.

EDIT: 15, not 20

Lots of Chinese seem themselves as white. And plenty of Asians consider lighter skin to mean wealth and upper class.

The building mechanics are pretty bare. And the monster pathfinding/automation could use work.

Otherwise, it's enjoyable.

Me, too. I know from the outside it feels like America doesn't make progress. But on a local level, many cities and counties are making strides. I know the areas near me are trying to be cost efficient with public transport, but I also live close to DC. It's kinda the thing here.

Imagine if more people knew this. They only saw "Biden bad for unions" and parrot the line while it's more "Biden administration weighs the challenges of a strike that would hurt common people, finds alternate path to satisfy all parties."

Right... like Hong Kong is "self-ruled". We all know how that played out.

And the article is omitting information such as why there was a drug test to begin with and if it was breach in privacy, why is the hospital not being sued?

Here's why: "claims from a hospital worker that she smoked marijuana in the hospital room". Mother also had previous interactions with the agency in regards to her older children.

So, hospital has cause to run a drug tests, drug test comes back positive on mother and newborn. Hospital reports to ACS who tell hospital to hold baby. Mother goes to court to get baby released, but this whole issue greatly affects an existing case she has with ACS in getting her older children back.

The lawsuit claims racism and falls flat when evidence suggests she is a neglectful parent and willingly endangering the unborn child by smoking marijuana while pregnant.

This is not a hill to die on when it comes to police problems. Not when there are more clear cut examples of systemic issues than this.

"The woman, Chanetto Rivers, will receive more than $75,000 and payment for legal fees after she accused New York City and its child welfare agency of separating her from her son when he and Rivers tested positive for marijuana in August 2021."

Newborn tested positive for marijuana. Looks like the agency originally believed there to be an abuse issue. Makes sense. Alcohol is legal, but if a child is being exposed to alcoholic abuse, best to take them away from the environment.

And it appears the settlement was more about the difficulties in getting her child back due to systemic racism in the courts.
