Come on, don't be disingenuous, you need more than a bus ticket if you don't live close to the border of a state that allows abortions.

Your whole trip will most likely take three days or more (getting there, getting the procedure, coming back), so you need at least two days in a hotel/Airbnb. You will have to get off work for those days as well, that is cost as well.

That could be around 300$ together if you don't have any vacation/sick days, on top of the cost of the procedure itself. And it's not like you can save up that money over several weeks/months either, when you need an abortion every day counts. Contrary to some media, those affected don't want to wait until the last possible day.

Some people really only have money for the bare necessities. And they are the ones who really should have access to an abortion because a baby wouldn't improve their situation in the slightest.

Being poor isn't a choice in most cases. Learned helplessness might play a role, but telling them "just get a bus ticket, lul" won't change that.

Aber Pein kommt doch auch vom französischen "pain" und beschreibt das Gefühl, wenn man nur schlechtes Brot bekommt. Man kann hier nicht gewinnen.

Was ist denn der Kontext von dem Originalbild? Da wird ja wohl kaum der alte Kerl plötzlich ans Mikro gerannt sein.

Don't put yourself into an even more miserable situation when it doesn't even benefit you in a measurable way.
E.g. Lights/dark rooms: Let's say you use a 5W LED light bulb (which should be bright enough to decently light most rooms). If you leave that running 24/7 for a whole year, that is going to cost you ~13€/$ (0,3€/$/kWh). You are not going to keep it running 24/7, you are not even going to run it half the day. It is not worth 5 bucks to spend the whole year in darkness, no matter how little money you have.

Obviously turn off the light when you're not in the room or it's the middle of the day in summer, but be reasonable with yourself.

The same goes for food: Sure, buying cheap staples (in bulk if possible) is a great idea, but don't try to save 5 cents if that means skipping on the salt, herbs and tomato paste which would take your 2/10 bland bowl of carbs to at least a 7/10 and give you something to look forward to.

Of course that's a thing, because it's an AI image (with quite a few obvious flaws at that). You can just put your sentence into a generator and get something at least resembling what you thought about.

I've used one for the past 15 years and I can wholeheartedly agree. This thing will most likely outlive me (I don't think any future children would want it as part of an inheritance though). Your sense of taste will also improve because your tongue isn't covered in gunk.

Somewhat of a fair point. I was more so referring to back in the day where it was not a given that a game would release on steam. I clearly remember the old videos from Totalbiscuit where that was a point worth mentioning. Asset flips and the like just couldn't be released on steam, as everything had to go through at least mid sized publishers (not an ideal solution by any means). This meant that you couldn't get many indie titles and some bigger publishers didn't want to use steam either, but those games that were available on the platform, while not guaranteed to be good, were at least not broken or complete trash. This changed with the introduction of steam greenlight and the later removal of almost any barrier to entry to release something on steam and that bothers me a bit.

You do know that you can disable that popup in the settings, right? You can also decide on which page the client opens. So if you set it up right you won't see an ad inside the client unless you consciously open the store page. And I would think that ads on a storefront are somewhat the point of the storefront.

Yes, you can be bothered by how much of a cut steam takes, or how they no longer curate what gets on their store, but compared to what's happening on consoles it's in another league. If you don't want to use steam, go ahead and try GOG Galaxy, it's a bit rough around the edges and doesn't have every game, but those it has don't have DRM.

I mean, it is tempting if you are a soulless politician that only thinks as far as the next reelection. In 2008 the economy and therefore city finances were just a tiny bit under the weather. If you are then able to pull a deal that nets the city over a billion dollars, that's great. You won't be there to see the repercussions and you bolstered the balancesheet for a year, what's not to like? /s

Nah, they would be out for blood in this scenario, otherwise the premise of fighting them wouldn't make any sense. The bigger problem for the tiny horses is their inability to reach the upper parts of your body. Sure, they probably have a mean bite, but because of their size and the shape of their teeth they most likely won't be able to enclose your leg. A horse bite crushes, so keep your fingers away and you are most likely fine.

They also have hooves, so no scratching and climbing. Horses hooves are dangerous because they have a massive horse behind it when it comes flying towards you. Take that away and they could be baby fist for all you should care.

If you look at their jumping capabilities, yea they ar impressive for an animal of their size, but once you are 30cm tall it's much less impressive to jump as high as you are tall (and horses really don't jump all that high, most of it comes from tucking their legs).

If you compare the tiny horse to a cat, the cat would be much more dangerous, because it has claws, sharp teeth and can reach your face. As long as you wear heavy boots and have a good stomping/kicking technique you should be fine versus duck sized horses.
