"I had a [noun] [verb]" is a perfectly fine colloquialism for "a [noun] [verbed] (in a way that affected me)." It's very common in the parts of the US I've lived in, at least.
Steam should really just let you set games not to update without having to futz around with Offline Mode. Refusing updates for specific games is currently possible-but-very-annoying: you need to set "Only update this game when I launch it" and then ALWAYS switch Steam into Offline Mode before launching; if you ever accidentally launch it while online, it will update and Steam won't let you roll back.
One of the conditions for being a tax exempt religious organization is staying out of politics. If they denounce a particular politician or party they could lose their status.
My college workflow was to copy the prompt and then "paste without formatting" in Word and leave that copy of the prompt at the top while I worked, I would absolutely have fallen for this. :P
There seems to be something contradictory about the idea that letting people elect judges endangers democracy. If you don't trust the people to elect judges, how can you trust them to elect the people who appoint judges?
The $250/month plan supposedly includes unlimited traffic. If there's actually a limit where you're supposed to switch to a more expensive plan with no standardized price, maybe CF should say what the limit is?
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said he voted against the reauthorization "because it failed to include the most important requirement to protect Americans' civil rights: that law enforcement get a warrant before targeting a US citizen."
Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point
Is all bad online behavior "trolling" now? Isn't "shill" a better word for someone who is paid to surreptitiously promote something?
Silverstein said Hughes also violated the policy earlier in the year, when she signed an open letter protesting the Times’s coverage of transgender issues. “She and I discussed that her desire to stake out this kind of public position and join in public protests isn’t compatible with being a journalist at The Times, and we both came to the conclusion that she should resign,” he wrote in the email.
It seems having a spine isn't compatible with being a journalist at the Times.
The context for this is that Jesus was telling his disciples about the consequences of spreading the Gospel: that they and any who followed them would be persecuted. That is, the implication is that his followers will be put to the sword, rather than living in peace; he's not encouraging them to use swords on other people.
He does, separately, assure them that terrible things will happen to people who were mean to them when he comes back, but that's not this verse, lol.
Coming fresh off BG3, the quality of the writing and the amount of character expression in dialog is like night and day. Honestly there was even one moment fairly early on when I said to myself "Fallout 4 would have let me extort this guy" and then I realized how egregious it was that I felt I had less agency in this quest than in FO4.

In the room where you must demonstrate insight by striking down a representation of one of three writers, Amaps is represented as a tiefling:
However, the book he wrote clearly indicates that he was a halfling:
This is halfling erasure!
Sonic Roboblast 2 Kart and its successor Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers are open source, and pretty fun! The exact degree to which they're free-as-in-libre depends somewhat on Sega's policy of turning a blind eye to fan games, so although GPL-2.0 permits commercial use I wouldn't recommend testing it.
There is a lively modding scene (or there was for SRB2K last time I was playing it; I haven't played RR yet). Ring Racers has single-player content if that's what you're looking for, I hear it's quite challenging.
