When I was in Chicago back in May, a local told me Trump’s name would have to come off the building if he were convicted of a felony, because Chicago has a mob-era law that criminals cannot have buildings named after them.
I’ve done some searching and haven’t been able to find anything to back this up. Does anyone know if this is true, or was this gentleman engaged in wishful thinking?
If someone didn’t prevent their aircraft from moving they kind of deserve the expensive lesson. Aviation is about following procedures, and anyone who doesn’t follow procedures either needs a wake-up call or to leave the hobby/career. Those checklists are written in blood.
I feel you on this fear, but that fear can be aired in therapy. Therapy is ENORMOUSLY helpful. And, not to play the What-If game, could potentially have salvaged your romantic relationship had it been brought in earlier. (I do not say this to make you feel shitty, but so anyone else struggling may see it.)
My wife and I started therapy at the first of our communication problems. We figured we have our car in for regular tune-ups, why not our marriage? And our therapist was thrilled. He said he wished more married couples began the process when they still got along well, because it’s easier.
But it’s definitely worth it even late in the game. Getting an outside, trained perspective on navigating the issues you have as a couple can dramatically improve quality of life. Even if you never expect to be romantic partners again, it can make you work better as a team for the reasons you mentioned.
I cannot recommend couples’ therapy enough.
She went easy on the weirdo.
He's also a racist pedophile rapist bigot lying treasonous traitor convicted felon.
Well sure. It would be hypocritical to say her opponent focuses on the faults of others rather than the strength of his policies and then do the same.
We all know he’s those things. She doesn’t need to say it.
I'd love it if she said "What are you, yellow?"
“No, I’m orange!”

I won’t downvote you for having an opinion on a game that doesn’t align with mine. Diverse thought is what makes conversation interesting!
I suspect part of the issue is that what D3 and D4 are is significantly different from what D2 was. Story-wise I think they’re all about the same level of “good but not amazing,” but in terms of gameplay they differ a lot. Largely because D3 and D4 came so much later in the evolution of the ARPG genre.
D2 is much slower paced, more difficult, requires much more careful play. D3 and D4, in my experience, are mostly about moving fast and getting the most and biggest numbers on the screen. Not that there isn’t difficulty available in D3 and D4, but that difficulty is very different.
D3 and D4 almost feel like a different genre, so if you go into them expecting more of the same feel as D2, it can be disappointing.
Of course my position on this could be because I’ve had much more experience with 3 and 4 than I’ve had with 2.
I’m enjoying season 5 quite a bit, too. The story is definitely leading into the expansion, and I really like the simplification of Varshan summons (although I don’t understand why they’re still having the parts we now turn into Malignant Hearts drop rather than just having Malignant Hearts).
He's an idiot but the line going up before a crash is what happens, right?
Insofar as the line generally goes up and occasionally crashes, yes.
None of its sequels beat Diablo II's greatness.
I dunno man. I think people have a lot of nostalgia for Diablo II. I didn’t play it that much when I was younger (parents wouldn’t let me buy it because satan or some shit), though I did manage to borrow a friend’s copy for a month or so. Absolutely loved it, but it was hard.
Recently got the Switch version and tried to play through. If you don’t have a plan for your build, and you don’t know where to get good items, it can be extremely frustrating trying to progress. And you have limited respecs. And every time you die you risk losing all of your stuff if you can’t get back to it.
Diablo II was amazing for its time, but it lacks a lot of the quality of life improvements that make Diablo III and Diablo IV (after updates) better to play, IMO.
(Don’t get me wrong, D3 and D4 needed serious help when they launched, but both have gotten pretty awesome updates since launch. D4 season 4 especially breathed wonderful life into that game.)
Edit: Also this article is talking about Diablo ONE, not Diablo II.
I suspect his answer would be the standard conservative Christian response that they should be foster or adoptive parents.
Generative AI is a tool. It is neither a creator nor an artist, any more than paintbrushes or cameras are. The problem arises not with the tool itself but with how it is used. The creativity must come from the user, just like the way Procreate or GIMP or even photography works.
The skill factor is certainly lower than other forms of artistic expression, but that is true of photography vs painting as well.
I am not trying to say all uses of generative AI are art, anymore than every photograph is art. But that doesn’t mean it cannot be a tool to create art, part of the workflow as utilized by someone with a vision willing to take the time to get the end product they want.
Generative AI doesn’t stand on the shoulders of giants, but neither does a camera.
