Yeah it's really weird how many things they sell at that exact price point.

Fucking nightmare system. Yeah let's just not have a serious intervention at the plant that produces toxic chemicals that produce fumes when combined with water. Lets just fucking let this keep contaminating the environment where all these people live out their lives, yeah that's great, no way to prevent this you know? Totally necessary too, 100%.
Chemical fires are some seriously scary shit, it looks like there aren't any immediate fatalities but that whole community now has an elevated cancer risk.
Trump's mental health wanes to the point that he has a total breakdown, quits the race, and the ticket becomes Vance/some intern that he picked in a panic the night of Trump's resignation.
The physical books can be had on secondhand bookstores for significantly less, albeit they're still sold for more than they aught to be, usually. Thriftbooks is an online reseller that has them for around $25 USD but local thrift stores and library book sales have them sometimes and will sell them for next to nothing.
There are some inexpensive/free programs/websites that exist to automate and simplify basically everything in the game. IME the only advantages the manuals have over the apps is that the manuals convey the bigger picture of how the game works.
The trail out behind my parents house wasn't really /x/ material but the mixture of fields, woods, and raised levees meant that you could see just about everything from some spots. It's really eerie looking out into a clear winter night and seeing the bobbing of flashlights a mile away, only for them to turn off all at once. I liked to take late night walks out there when I was a kid, preferring to do away with a flashlight to enjoy the glow of the moon. One night a group of men in a pair of trucks drove up the old dirt road by the trail where they got out and talked or argued with each other. I couldn't make out what they were saying but I remember them leaving very quickly. I think they might have seen me and bolted. I ran home after they left. Didn't like that one bit.
Animal Death
Not that long ago on a crisp November evening I found a neat little pile of guts (with a heart stacked on top) next to another neat little pile of guts (without a heart stacked on top). It took a minute to register what I was even looking at, then I freaked out a little, then I remembered it was deer season and someone must have done a field dressing. You're not supposed to hunt in that place so it was kinda neat to see evidence of poaching.
I've spent the past week or so modding STALKER Anomaly the oldschool way (making a compatible mod manager work with it on Linux Mint has been less of a nightmare than sorting out compatibilities) with the intention of making a pacifistic run more rewarding and enjoyable. It has been less successful than I would have hoped, many of the artifact and task mods just aren't what I'm looking for and roleplaying as an ecologist might just be a boring experience at its core. I want Roadside Picnic: The Game rather than "Tarkov but single player and free" like the rest of the modding community seems to want.
I have a lot of feelings about killing people innazone and would prefer to keep that to a bare minimum you know?
this looks like an AI generated rendition of a Ben Garrison comic. He's really fallen off. Damn.
It was pretty mild until halfway through episode 3. It's only a 15 second snippet but I have a feeling that description of the long-term effects of agent orange exposure is gonna stick for a while, among other things of course.
"You're one of them gays aintcha? [insert resistance movement/socialist state/ect here] would kill you for that dontcha know?"
It feels like the people who say things like that are deeply queerphobic and they would be would be utterly delighted to see LGBT+ people dealt with of in such a way. I don't think they would bring it up otherwise.
There's some evidence to suggest that cis women have greater color perception than cis men do. You are not the only transfem that has attested to this and you won't be the last either, it happened to me too. There are anecdotes about the reverse happening with people on FTM HRT, so there may be something to it. Too bad there's no way to quantify the change unless one were to have already taken some visual acuity test with a color component pre-HRT.
