The panel order being reversed was done on purpose....

I got a sizeable raise and am now officially making low six figures and have no one to share my good news with
Kendrick Lamar, Daniel Radcliffe (played Harry Potter), Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber. Radcliffe is the only one I would expect most people to get. Bieber hasn't even been in the news cycle since before Covid, at least that I've noticed. Lady Gaga is more of a millenial pop icon than Grande. And Kendrick is definitely one of, if not the biggest name in hip hop right now, but unless you follow hip hop news you probably wouldn't see him much in your newsfeed.
I was a bit aggressive on like my second playthrough and ended up killing a couple people to get their medicine. The guy that killed them was too depressed to scavenge and killed himself. Then another person got depressed because of that and wouldn't do anything. Then she got sick and died shortly after. I was too sad to play for awhile after that one.
This War of Mine. Honestly can't believe nobody else has mentioned it.
You play as a group of civilians in a war torn country. By day you craft things needed for survival like a stove for cooking, guns for protection, barricades to prevent raiders. At night you send one person with a backpack to scavenge an area of your choice for things like food, medicine, supplies etc. The others will either sleep or guard the property. Things you do while scavenging have real effects on your characters. Decided to rob an elderly couple? Your characters will react based on their personality.
Things become grim fast if you decide to start robbing supplies or get attacked. Your players get sick, become depressed, starve, get hurt etc. I've never made it to the end.
It's a great way to understand the struggles of being a civilian in a war. The Polish government actually recommends it for educational purposes and the devs have donated a lot of proceeds to charities serving people impacted by war, including Ukraine most recently.
Houston Police post mugshot of cop arrested for domestic violence, then delete the picture because he works undercover
It's only entrapment if the suspect would not have engaged in the criminal activity without the outside influence from the LEO. An undercover cop making connections with drug dealers to aquire evidence isn't entrapment. An undercover cop blackmailing or otherwise causing you to sell drugs you had no interest in dealing in the first place is entrapment.
Propaganda does not have to have a hidden agenda. Literally the "I want you" uncle Sam poster is propaganda. That agenda was pretty obvious, there was no question who was behind it and it was pretty clear why it was commissioned in the first place.
There has been propaganda encouraging car-pooling, reusing materials, conserving electricity, promoting employment etc, and many of them even had credits as to who the message was coming from.
Propaganda is not inherently evil, but it's important to understand the context and where it's coming from.
Yes, but people who order a burger medium can still get sick. Not to mention heightened risk of cross contamination with ready to eat foods.
It's just safer to not use meat from a source known to have food-borne bacteria. Food safety is designed with many layers of protection, if you already know the first layer has failed, an unsafe source of food, then you're now counting on kitchen staff to protect you.
Not to say kitchen staff are inherenrly unreliable, but during a weekend dinner rush with low pay and high pressure, things can go wrong, so it's just best to take out food that is already a risk.
Only increased taxes on the amount in the next bracket. If they're making 110k a year, only about 10k will be taxed at the 24% rate. Everything else stays the same.
