Just some ink on a page. Would she rather be Charles and have eggs thrown at her in public?

It's a bit niche, but I like Japanese mahjong (not the tile matching thing, the actual game) and have gotten hours out of an app called Kemono Mahjong. Cheap, onetime purchase w/no micro transactions and you can play against adjustable AI offline or online with others. It has plenty of guidance for new players.

The loss of users is already beginning to show, depending on the community. I had some LifeProTips and other useful threads saved and was trying to archive them for myself yesterday, and several had either the original post or the highest-upvoted parent comment outright deleted.

Never played it, but a few people in the CCG crowd at my high school did for a bit. I remember it being a little too complicated for me at the time and just stuck to MTG or Netrunner.

That's great and all, but presupposes that whoever’s on the other end of that panic button will actually respond and do so effectively or in time. Uvalde and Parkland both had cops make it on site in a reasonable amount of time, but they were basically useless in both cases.

Seems like it's just a human thing to be tempted to do when you're far from home and don't think there will be consequences to your actions. There's graffiti from ancient Greeks and Romans in Egypt and Viking runes carved into the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.

I remember there was some talk when the news first came out that the mutual lawsuits were getting to the discovery stage and both sides likely had documents they didn't want seeing the light of day. Could have been another factor in just deciding to bin the lawsuit and band together.

US consumers are about to get REAL familiar with the phrase "force majeure".
