I know some content will still be free, but come on! Don't they see how fucking stupid the average American is? Do they really want to make that worse by removing one of the most non-biased (by comparison) news sources?

Our Constitution is unconstitutional!

Mirroring what others have said, often even heavy sleepers have sounds there sensitive to that wake them up immediately. I had someone crash on my couch one night. I knew they had to be up in the morning for work, so I set an alarm for myself to make sure they got up too (this is right around when smartphones were starting to become a thing, and it wasn't really common to have alarms set on your phone, hence why I was going through the extra effort for them). I woke up and went over to try and wake them up. First it was a soft nudge in the shoulder, then a harder one, then a shake, then grabbing them by both shoulders and aggressively shaking them. I literally stopped to check their breathing and make sure they hadn't died on me. My roommate came out during this and was also laughing and wondering if they had died. I really had to use the restroom, so said I was going to do that and then come back and give it another go. While I'm in there, I hear their phone go off and my roommate starts laughing hysterically. Apparently as soon as the tone went off on their phone, they sat upright, wide awake.

To be fair, The Pre-Sequel was made by different studio entirely, but I agree that the Borderlands 3 story was utter crap. It was so bad that I couldn't bear to keep playing, despite how I felt about the gameplay (which I honestly don't remember at this point).

It wouldn't have gotten so much hate at release if it was a remaster, but it was a remake that looked like a remaster, which is not acceptable when you're talking about a 20-year gap. They made the right move, which is what's so surprising to me.

Highly recommend Technology Connections for anyone interested in easy to understand, relatable breakdown videos of technology.

The artificial blood is created from expired donor blood, so we still have to keep donating blood, but it increases the shelf life from 42 days refrigerated to 2 years at room temp, which is pretty amazing. Studies began in 2022.

It looks like it has nothing to do with Plague Tale.

~~Title could use a comma (and remove the apostrophe). It currently reads that 9 out of 10 children were killed, not 9 doctors AND 10 children.~~

Edit: Looks like the summary is wrong, and the title is correct

Today, 75 year old Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia died of the esophageal cancer he’d been diagnosed with last year. Connolly, you may recall, was recently picked by congressional Democrats to serve as ranking member on the high-profile Oversight Committee, passing up Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
