Total Negativity though. They want to let school kids access social media in order to spy on them.

Is Chicago Public School going to be watching its students on CE?

And why can CPS not use social media in a positive way?

Someone brought them into work a few years ago. I came home from work and saw one bedbug crawling across my desk, legitimately had a near nervous-breakdown. Immediately washed everything, even clothes I hadn't worn in years.

If the clothing is clean, you only need to toss it in the dryer.

I think the game is more frustrating than it is hard. There are many ways to do things. You can go to the end game area 5 hours after you've started and that is 15 minutes after start for someone who can play the game. Exploits abound.

My advice.
Do some searches for lore.
Check out sites with aftermarket DLC:just knowing it is there makes the game less frustrating.
Check out trading forums and coop forums.

Backstabbing and getting back stabbed is a major mechanic. A shield slung on your back protects you from backstab and you get any passive ability on the shield.

Seriously consider the madness path. It is the fastest through the game.

The way the city is zoned, there's not enough housing for the paying people who want it. There's enough people in Los Angeles already who struggle to find and maintain apartment living as is

The idea of housing the homeless before everyone else is and always has been absurd

Why should California continue to pay the price of being "accommodating" when there's 49 other states in the union, many with lower costs of living

The idea of making enemies out of other people than yourself who need housing is absurd.

Look at history. Your chance at affordable housing is higher if everyone consolidates.

Stop fighting for who gets the crumbs.

Now for the "joke" from Depression times that is somewhat related. Keep in mind that me and my friends only got out of NYC by hitch hiking and could go only so far because we had to return during daylight the same day.

"This lady from NYC was sitting on the beach in Miami on a winter day and said,
'Last summer, we went to France for vacation. This summer, I don't know where we'll go.' "

We thought that was very funny. A bitter kind of funny.

People who have lived in a region for thousands of years tend to have a common appearance and a common gene pool. I think I am correct in stating there is an assumption that the appearance is due to the common gene pool.

The fairly recent genetic sequencing of ancient Siberians has got me thinking about this assumption. There are a bunch of articles about Mal'ta. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.342.6157.409 is one of them.

About 30% of pre European-colonized American DNA is European but the percentage varies among indivuduals and as far as I know the common features are shared by individuals regardless of DNA sequence.

I am thinking that cultural environment and geographical environment are what lead to similarities in appearance.
