I picked up a used copy of Horus Rising that I’ve been reading off and on. It’s the first warhammer book I’ve read (I don’t play the game), but I’ve played some of rogue trader and read several memes about the emperor on his throne, so it’s all making me anticipate a twist that I’m not sure will happen.
Once went on a trip with my uncle. He was drinking a can of beer while driving us around. Pulled up to a pump and gets out and starts pumping gas. After a minute I realize he never turned off the truck. Apparently left it running every time.
A parent can do the age verification captcha for Johnny. All of this is bullshit once they start thinking any of this will stop kids who have the help of an adult (actually, already is imo). Anyone ever hear of kids getting adults to buy alcohol for them in the past?

There’s also a card game called scoundrel that’s like a dungeon crawl and free (there are how to play videos on YouTube).
Arkham Horror LCG can be soloed and is good but costly.
Seems more likely he’d be want them in case he can invoke the insurrection act.
There’s a push for companies to constantly increase their profits. That means sooner or later prices must rise. Sooner or later labor must be paid less. In fact, this has been happening for decades. Prices have been rising faster than wages for decades.
Seems to me like labor should get paid more and there should be something (regulations?) to prevent prices from rising when it happens.
That’s when you take a break and let someone else deal with it until you’re ready again. Or focus on a different fight and let that one go. You’re irreplaceable, but your participation in that specific fight is not essential.
I hope you can find a break. I get tired of it, too. Sometimes just not reading the news or social media for a while is enough to recharge. The news and online commentary makes it impossible to even get small breaks that would’ve been common two decades ago and the consumption of it all can be exhausting enough to prevent us from taking any other actions.
Every person against this sort of thing that checks out is just giving them less resistance. It sucks to have to deal with it, and it’s a constant fight, but you’re not just fighting for yourself.
Or we can just go after the platforms for knowingly manipulating everyone. And for their invasive data collection. This is probably one reason why Meta spent more on lobbying (primarily for age verification) than Boeing and Lockheed Martin did on lobbying last year. Once the kids are identified, no one gives a shit about the adults so the problem (for them) just fades away.
