Sympathy for their PTSD

The last sentence is fucked up. If you're running over hundreds of people how in the fuck do you know they are terrorists. These people are intentionally and knowingly committing war crimes then come back home and cry about how this all made them so sad.

A new law has been passed in California which prohibits the use of words like "buy" and "purchase" on digital storefronts like Steam.

Essentially, the new law will mean that storefronts like Steam will no longer be able to use terms such as “buy” or “purchase” when advertising a game that always requires an online connection. Since you won’t technically own the product and servers being taken offline would render the product useless, a different word will have to be used.

The official phrasing in the bill’s summary reads, it will “prohibit a seller of a digital good from advertising or offering for sale a digital good, as defined, to a purchaser with the terms buy, purchase, or any other term which a reasonable person would understand.”

That's actually a very good reason IMO.

Risky Buisness

We gotta start saying her name man. It's like working with a new person who you call orange as a joke since that's what they wore on their first day but you just keep it up because you're too shy to ask their name.

Wikipedia Editors Place a Near Total Ban on Calling Gaza Health Ministry “Hamas-Run”.

Reply in thread

There was also a question of redundancy, as editors against the qualifier opined that it’s implied that Hamas runs Gaza and noted that Wikipedia doesn’t refer to the Israel Defense Force (IDF) as the “Israel-run” or “Netanyahu-run” IDF or the State Department as the “Democrat-run State Department.”

There's a clear implicit meaning when saying "Hamas-run" that a lot of people in western countries would use to help discredit what's actually going on there.

What's the trick to Menopause?

Seek professional help. Have her find a good OBGYN and go over what's going on with her body. Could be hormone imbalances or her mental state is affected from everything she's been going through. Don't take advice from random strangers here.
