Mr Evrart is helping me find my ballot…

I mean it’s not a bad thing inherently, it’s just being done badly. If you played Modern Warfare 2 (as in the original, NOT the remake), unlocking all the little banners and the weapons and the perks and stuff was fun and engaging and not like, predating on players.

Gotta be Cruelty Squad, it’s too player hostile and interesting not to be.

Bees occasionally build hives inside peoples’ homes. Like, between floors or walls. You can imagine this situation is not terribly pleasant.

Bees are pests if they’re in your house. Like, one or two getting stuck in, yeah I’ll help them find their way back home, but beehives inside your house? Nightmarish. Happens more in cold places, I’m told, since houses are warm.

I get what you’re saying, but we have to draw the line between animals and vermin somewhere. Ticks, ants, bees, mosquitoes, roaches… these creatures are pests, and aren’t worth the same consideration as, say, a bird or whatever. Everyone’s line is somewhere different - maybe you are fine with spiders, maybe you hate even some mammals like rats, but there are some pretty reasonable experiential reasons people hold these opinions. It’s easy enough to think a rat is cute when there aren’t a bunch scurrying around your apartment complex making a mess of the place.

I do think there are of course exceptions. I’ll never sympathize with people who go after animals that stay outside in their natural habitats, stuff like gophers or whatever. They have to live somewhere, after all.

I love how the audio reading for this article is just straight-up AI generated. Like literally they mispronounce Xi’s name within 3 seconds of the thing starting, kinda wondering why they even bothered.

They added Command and Conquer Zero Hour which I’m quite pleased about. I doubt they’ll bring the servers back up but you can still play through 3rd party services like GameRanger.

I’m not really that bothered by imports just being cheap. As long as the wind farms work well enough, I don’t really care about where they get made. We can’t really be choosy with the whole climate crisis thing right on the horizon.
