Coming soon is the defense that is all Russia is doing in Ukraine.

The poor Russians just weren't equipped to deal with the consequences of a war they started, just like poor Germany. /s

But also you'd probably react differently if the police showed up to your house because your kid made threats about shooting people. Like you wouldn't then go buy them a gun for Christmas, regardless of how well you stored it.

Abuse doesn't really jump out to me, more like denial.

And sadly it's been this way for decades. Rachel Corrie was run over by a bulldozer in 2003 and nothing changed then, and it won't change anything now.

Federal service at this level does not make rich people richer. Working for their corporations does and that's exactly what most people do when they finish school. Corporations even tend to layoff experienced workers and hire new graduates because they are cheaper. Federal service looks this benefits everyone that takes advantage of federal services the agencies provide.

Like I was trying to point out in my example, there is a vast amount of work that federal agencies need done that is not skilled labor. But there is value in exposing young people to a small section of how the federal government operates.

Duped but I'd say more than willingly duped since it's not hard to pick up on the slant of the 'news' angle they are being pushed to put out. Someone is giving you $100k a month and they decided to not rock the boat.

Federal service is very broad though. Just consider ask the different Federal Agencies and the roles they fill.

For example, when I was in college I had a 6 month internship with the National Park Service doing trail maintenance for a national park. It serves me no purpose as a resume item but I look back on that time extremely fondly even though it was the hardest physical labor I've ever done. It was incredibly physical work with really 10+ miles of hiking every work day. The NPS across the US has an huge budgetary backlog of trail maintenance going back decades.

That all is just an example but I'm sure the NPS could make great use of thousands of young workers to improve our parks. Similarly, I'm sure across the board the Federal Agencies would have a vast multitude of roles for this Federal service, including working for the DoD but in non military roles. Most of the agencies would have vast amounts of work that isn't covered by their budgets so it just doesn't get done.

"I don't come up with this stuff. I just forward it along. You wouldn't arrest a guy who's just delivering drugs from one guy to another."

I'm waiting for one of them to pull out the Michael Scott defense!

This is probably to stop the cut scene in Moonrise where Minthara is completely naked because players tend to just 'take all' when looting after knocking her out. Don't get me wrong, it's hilarious given the context of the scene but I'm sure the devs didn't intend that!

Lol, a unity Republican ticket? What would that even look like? Two Dems would immediately lose the MAGA base and be dead on launch. Trump would also launch a third party campaign!

Considering he can have sex with all those characters, Jaheira might have been a better choice!

Duke energy in NC has basically already made it to expensive or at least not worth it to install solar. They reset the power credits to generate and you basically still are stuck paying a power bill regardless of what you generate.

I didn't thinking that idea was still in dispute. There have been multiple studies in this area. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3543069/
