As of 2015 in the United States, more than 90% of abortions occur before the 13th week, 1.3% of abortions in the United States took place after the 21st week,[4] and less than 1% occur after 24 weeks.[5][6]

No one is terminating viable fetuses in the third trimester.

It was a right until a few hand picked Catholic activist judges, chosen by a Christian Dominionist think tank and corruptly paid off by billionaires, decided it wasn't a right anymore.

It's an atmospheric sort of proof of concept but I didn't find it very compelling. I've played better source mods.

I've got a lot more money than time. I get to take like 4 hours a week so it's gotta count.

I'm juggling a couple.

Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. Historical fantasy / horror about a fallen knight crossing a plague ridden France in what feels like the apocalypse, and dealing with demonic entities that mar his path. Really evocative descriptions and concise prose. It feels a bit like Berserk: a novel.

The Way Inn by Will Wiles. A professional convention surrogate is attending a convention for convention organizers, when he becomes trapped in an endless fractal of nondescript corporate mediocrity. Not sure how this one will end up yet, so far it's a delightful satire with a really dry wit.

Environmentalism and colonialism are definitely interesting lenses to look at the story through. It also deconstructed white savior and heroes journey tropes. All of this is explored more fully in the sequel, which I also really enjoyed.

I've tried coffee lemonade and found it a pretty suitable emetic. This seems like it could be even worse, cheers.

It was highly insular and difficult to navigate, and the barriers to entry effectively curated the user base .

I guess they know their audience.

I wish they'd stop giving this hack money.

Exactly this. The money tap has dried up post pandemic and they are seeking new revenue streams while also slashing costs. The hunger for perpetual growth to sate the investor class and their matyroshka nesting yachts is driving these decisions.

I haven't thought about OCRemix in like 20 years. Can't believe it's still around! I used to download songs off here and play them through WinAmp while playing EverQuest, which had pretty dire music.
