If you’re the type of gamer that gets sucked into Rimworld, then Dwarf Fortress will very likely consume you.

It’s the same story in US and Canada. Illegal, but not really enforced. And when it is enforced the the penalties aren’t strong enough to be a deterrent.

Most people have only vague memories before they’re 5 or 6, so that’s not so uncommon. I, an elder millennial, have lots of memories from before I was 6, but only because I have a big life event that happened when I was 6 that marked a “before time” and “after time” allowing me to easily place memories before or after the age of 6. All of my memories from the “before time” are vague and hard to place at specific ages except for a specific few that I can place due to houses I lived in at the time and what my parents told me.

I wouldn’t say I wasn’t self-aware in the “before time” but I definitely don’t remember it as well as what came in the “after time”. I’m sure that is what the above poster is referring to.

That user may be using Sync, which last time I checked only supports the reddit style spoilers.

I can’t actually remember the last time I even saw a mosquito.

What’s worse is that YouTube sometimes doesn’t do that, i.e. when you hit back it shows the same list from the cache or something. It gives you hope and makes it worse on those occasions when it does fully refresh on back.

I really only know of this word because of Scott Manley

And on Monday, June 8, a steer wrestler from Idaho named Stetson Jorgensen charged out of the gate on a horse, chasing after a terrified young cow. He jumped forcefully on the animal, grabbed him by the horns, and snapped his neck to the ground with his bare hands. The young cow lay stiff and motionless, and died shortly after.

Given the timing, I assume they are talking about this happening at the Calgary Stampede this past Monday.

Note: June 8 is a typo. Monday was July 8th.

It’s against FTC regulations in the US too. The trick is getting them to enforce it.

I’ve never heard of that type of action occurring anywhere else.

There were a couple of high profile cases in Canada a while back.
