How about spending a year following, say, a black woman doing positive activist work? Wanting to understand why they do it. What does their career look like, their personal lives, their frequent run-ins with the systemic racism in the US society?

Their party members are indeed way, way, way too soft.
On the other hand, if nothing else, their main lawyer Marc E. Elias absolutely loves the spotlight. He would not have wanted to miss out on a chance to get everybody's attention.

Or to put it another way: If the Democrats' lawyers thought they had a case, they'd be all over it everywhere.

And yet you choose to inflict it upon us?
I may need a lawyer to seek compensation for the emptional damage.

Dina (Dumbing of Age): Ace, neurodivergent, perfect.
Every character in Questionable Content. They are all LGBTQIA+. All of them.
If we are also allowed video games:
Bermotti (Trails Through Daybreak): He literally will hit on guys that keep hitting on uninterested women.

Ty Beard and Nick Rikieta and Vic Mignogna (the R.Kelly of anime) slap-fighting also comes to mind.
(Probably spelled their last names wrong, and don't give a shit)

Personally -and since English as a whole is based on vibes rather than rules, personal opinions absolutely count- I would have put a comma after the "and more", then done away with the semicolon.

The trick is generally to find games made by a single person. They tend to be far better on this.
My idle games (I update them during work breaks) of choice are Idling to Rule The Gods and IdleOn, neither of which has any ads at all.
But neither of them are what you could call short projects.

Så godt som alle former for nyanser og subtil undertekst går nesten bestandig over hodet på sinnafansen (bare sjekk om de skjønner poenget med Blazing Saddles, f.eks.), så det er overhodet ingen overraskelse at dette også gikk dem hus forbi.

I knew a person that had trouble getting back on the highway in the same direction after stopping for gas at a highway gas station.

Not just that, but there are very few artists that makes it look really good on their first draft sketches. I know the late Mike Wieringo could knock out something looking almost finished in just a couple of minutes, but more often it's just about getting the general arrangement right.

It's always so weird to me when a basketball team wins with just one or two points, and "everyone" seems to say the losing team got out-coached or outplayed, when it seems more like it was pretty much a coin flip that just happened to flip tails this time.

But more importantly, do you think Tom Thibodeau was fired because he could not stop the Knicks from shooting bricks?

Indeed. Which means that for the first three weeks, when everyone puts the last year on signing documents, he will automatically put 2026 while everyone else puts 2025.

I am one of those people that will read a book or play a video game I don't really like or dislike for far too long, often because I hope that there is some potential that something I will like may happen.
Especially if it is a series and/or creator I enjoyed in the past *coughKingdomHearts3*.

And this plan also took a year and a half to complete, with tons of logistics planned.
Even if Russia wanted to retaliate the same way, it is not gonna be anytime soon, at least not if they want to succeed.
One caveat here is that they often do hald-assed plans that are not at all successful.

On amore serious note, it's worth mentioning that, to my current knowledge, there were no casualties. A truly surgical strike.
Meanwhile, Russia has also done drone attacks... Mostly to just specifically target individual civilians.

But, but, the Extremely Masculine and Fearless Leader Putin frequently reassured us that the Tough Manly Hetero soldiers of Russia would crush the effeminate, godless, and pro-LGBTQ+ "army" of Ukraine in no time at all!

Not to mention that most often for better, sometimes for worse, the majority of US food culture is and has been throughout history, been imported from other countries.
Which they're not unique in, almost all cultures do that unless completely isolated.

Skal ikke komme med sterke nummere, men tror ikke det er urimelig å gjette at flere unge ble ikke-religiøse eller fikk styrket sin mangel på tro på grunn av kristendom som obligatorisk pensum, enn de som omvendte seg eller fikk en signifikant sterkere tro som et direkte resultat av samme.

I didn't go deeper down, because I assumed they never went deeper themselves, or probably never even searched it, just saw someone on truthsocial or somewhere just make up some bullshit about what avaricum meant.

On a whim, I decided to check out his @ handle.
The first few results turned out the Avaricum region that was pretty opposed to the Roman Empire, aka. the inspiration for Asterix.
Which, for the kind of people that worships the Roman empire is... Just one of many cognitive dissonances they ignore.

Side note, but had to look up if a town called Scranton was real, or if it was made-up name designed to sound like a shabbier Canton.

Johnny Cage magicks it back to a cooler car (a convertible sports car) hops in it, puts on his sunglasses, and drives away.
Scorpio and Raiden should both be pretty obvious.
Reptile decides to take the broken parts and turn them into a nest to lay eggs in.
