I agree, it's not on her to withdraw herself from the competition. I don't think she owes an apology. If she won, she won. If it was unsafe for the other competitors the judges should have pulled her out.
Did they learn their training techniques from the handbook?
Lies I've been told about net zero:
Carbon capture will get us there without drastic changes on the emissions side.
Carbon credits are a good idea and definitely not a way to greenwash and shift blame.
It's cool if we get there in two decades, even though we aren't on track to hit our goals for this decade.
Phantasy Star Online (with the broadband adapter, and also local co-op with a couple of my high school buddies), Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (I had all A ranks!), Super Smash Bros. Melee (an especially big hit in college!), Soul Calibur II, Metroid Prime... there was some great stuff on the Gamecube!
He looks different without the helmet!
Also, because this isn’t anywhere near the first time Emiru has been attacked in public, she points out that she’s spent tens of thousands of dollars for her own private security, and wasn’t even allowed to bring her preferred bodyguard with her because he’s permanently banned from Twitch events due to restraining a stalker during a previous event.
What the fuck? They banned her bodyguard for protecting her and then asked her to come back without him? It's like they wanted her to get assaulted.
This "fact sheet" looks like Lockheed Martin marketing material. I feel like an enthusiast's fact sheet would be more likely to focus on the plane itself instead of the programs and partnerships.
The first screen is sort of a tutorial, though. If you go right first because you've played Super Mario Bros. or some other platformer and you think going right might be the way to win, you're presented with a narrow passage you can't crawl through. At this point, you'll discover that you can also go left. There's another rock formation with a narrow passage, but from this side you can jump on top of it to get over it, and you'll find the Morph Ball. From the Morph Ball side, you can't jump back over, so you have to figure out how to get through the narrow passage by pressing down to enter Morph Ball mode. Now you understand the game: find obstacles, acquire the corresponding upgrades, use them to bypass the obstacles.
If you search for "poker" on PEGI's site, it seems that many games which are actually about simulated gambling are rated 12 or 16. They seem to think Balatro is more likely to expose children to realistic gambling than, say, Prominence Poker or Pure Hold'em World Poker Championship, which seems completely bizarre, given that those games are about playing poker and Balatro is a fancy kind of solitaire with no betting.
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."

Is all bad online behavior "trolling" now? Isn't "shill" a better word for someone who is paid to surreptitiously promote something?

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!
Mercantilism, in 2026? It's more likely than you'd think!
