Raw catfood has infected some cats as well.

Thank you. It's just so f'ing baffling how many people still think the right approach to Trump is to underestimate, ignore, or otherwise write him off. We know what happens when we do that. This lesson has been taught to us time and time again and it's carried Trump to the White House twice.

Well, ya know, it's primarily a respiratory disease among humans. You literally aren't likely to catch if if your head is buried in sand. And once you suffocate or whatever, you won't have to worry about the flu.

Meanwhile, in Michigan, there's a case of two exclusively indoor cats catching it. One prominent theory is that the humans in the household passed it to them.

I appreciated his general thoughts on poverty, inequality, etc. I haven't studied them in depth so admittedly I'm mostly going off statements here and there and shallow news coverage.

The molestation/rape stuff though can't be overlooked. The problems there go much, much deeper than any one individual and is a rot in a massive and wealthy institution that holds a lot of sway over millions of people.

And there are lots of old dinosaur thoughts in the church, like the idea that all "unnatural" birth control is wrong.

I do think Francis was probably a step overall in the right direction, but it was a small step and I'm left thinking that much more radical reform is needed.

I don't think that's how it works, but I am not a lawyer.

Initially, I reached the same conclusion, but by the sounds of it, once the trust expires it simply means that the kids can now sell the stocks or do whatever they want freely. I think they don't lose control of the stocks and if anything, they actually start to enjoy more control or at least freedom.

But again, I am not a lawyer.

To be fair, I doubt Trump understands the difference between Bangladesh and India.

Sigh. What a time line.

The cease fire was primarily Biden's victory although really the war had reached a stage where there was a high chance it would have emerged without pressure.

The consistent pressure by the Biden administration also demonstrably forced Israel to show some restraint.

Estimates suggest roughly 50,000 Gazans died. An absolute tragedy but if Trump were in charge, I'd bet that it'll be much higher.

Europe's best bet IMO is to keep Ukraine in the fight so long as they want to continue. This way, Russia can't even think about attacking elsewhere. With the bought time, Europe also needs to beef up their own defenses.

It saddens me to say as an American, but the USA is no longer a reliable partner. And those American military bases on European soil would make me very nervous. They were historically used to protect Europe but could also be used to conquer, assuming the military backs Trump and attacks if ordered.

Biden was no doubt in Israel's camp. However, he was still a moderate in that camp pushing for restrain, humanitarian aid, etc.

Trump has essentially been encouraging Bibi to take off the gloves and pound Gaza.

I never played it but the Thomas the Train mod for skyrim is hilarious.

I think the worry is that pushing out so many remasters depletes resources that could be used to make other games.

Not actually sure if that's true, tbh. I think remasters are often handled by different companies/studios/teams rather than the teams working on all new projects. Although if Sony is tight on cash, funding both teams at once could prove really difficult.
