I'm late to this conversation but I've gone 5 rounds of IVF and it's cost us most of our savings. IVF didn't work for us and we're looking at egg donors. Did you know it's illegal to pay someone or receive money for being a surrogate or egg donor? We're having to look overseas because hardly anyone here will do it for free (understandably).
Clearly, the government isn't interested in anything remotely related to female health.
But there's no UBI to allow the person without a job to skil upl into something else that a robot can't do.
Replace all roads with free mass transit. That should work.
But all the lobbying has already happened - for decades - and nothing has changed. Fossil fuel companies have poured in billions over the course of decades, and still are, to counter lobby and spread misinformation to keep the status quo.
You're only seeing the 'performative' protesting in the media and not the lobbying because it's easy to report on, but in reality this movement is on its last legs. It is THAT level of desperation now.
Do you think they'd still be protesting if the government actually implemented the policies brought forward by climate scientists decades ago?
That's right! They're better off spending it on lobbying so they end up getting more money!
Not a good idea to put all your eggs into one basket when running a business, mate. You always run multiple projects, and it doesn't have to be games, to continue the cashflow.
My vote is for "Yes" by A.B. Original, DJ Total Eclipse and Marlon.
The lyric "I never swore allegiance to the crown" sends chills down my spine.
It depends on whether the game was designed with shareholders in mind or the player. Most AAA games are designed with profit in mind rather than what's fun. For example, buying skins and doing the same thing on repeat is not fun. Roleplaying as Starship troopers with your friends is fun.
Woke up to the sound of some nutter with his hand on the horn speeding down my 40km/h residential street. Somebody obviously got up on the wrong side of the bed and is dragging the rest of us down with them! 😤
That project was an absolute disaster. Builder lost millions and then substituted everything out for cheaper products. I swear, there's stuff there that's not to code.
The biggest travesty of all? Closing off the completely accessible underground pedestrian tunnel, forcing you to wait at the traffic lights.
Storm in a teacup. Move along, nothing to see here.
Thank you so much. I hope you and your wife's IVF journey was more successful than mine.
Agree - human health. I guess I was thinking about my surgery costs for endometriosis on top of IVF and how it wasn't covered by Medicare at all. Medicare coverage has huge gaps and I hate how the government whittles away at it rather than expanding it.
