The one on the left is giving Malazan vibes. If someone could manage to keep a K'chain Che'malle caged up, I could see somewhere in the world turning fighting it into a blood sport.

Saw an article recently, can't remember where, that basically said that the sole reason fast food was doing so poorly was pricing. That McDonald's was charging Texas Roadhouse prices, so people were choosing to skip McDonald's and go to Texas Roadhouse.
My experience has been that most of that is either the lights just being left on or cleaning crews. Oh, or coworkers hooking up.
Texas is really fucky. My wife needs a new ID and has to go in in person. Ever since the pandemic the DMV has been by appointment only. When I went to make one the soonest I could get was almost February of 2025 and that was something like 40 miles away. I decided to check Austin and San Antonio as I'm between both. Neither had any availability for the foreseeable future.
Texas requires that you present you driver's license or state ID to vote. If you need either and can't renew by mail, you either have to travel a hundred or more miles to a DMV in the middle of no where or not be able to vote. Maybe it's the tin hat wearing part of me talking but this all seems awful coincidental.
Not to make light of your situation, but I cannot count the number of times I have put something in a "very secure location" then been unable to locate said item for months.
The only country I'd trust paid help in is Japan. Anywhere else and it is very likely a considerable portion are either thieves or one unlocked door away from thievery. Doesn't matter if it's in my home or in their shop(like for a car).
I think the implication is that VW is untrustworthy due to their previous actions.
Yeah, they bitch about not getting their piece of the pie, yet they've eaten 99% of the pie already. They refuse to understand that the discrimination against non cishet white people has already enriched them.
Imagine how much tax revenue we could get if we started taxing churches!
The only message the GOP has is fear mongering. If they stopped that they'd have to stand on their record of helping the people, which there is none in the last 50-60+ years.
Could see this on a ringworld. Come to think of it a ringworld would be the perfect place to base a fantasy novel on.
