This is essentially the only solution to this sort of question that I’ve seen work bar leaving the industry entirely.

Solo development IME is 90% sabbatical or very early stage startup anyways.

Find some other malcontents OP, it generally works itself out naturally from there.

The detailed commentary on the noticeably androgynous physical and “mental” characteristics of the future males in a society that has decided the trisolaran issue doesn’t exist anymore and has fully accepted defeatism (through non natural means, but still).

IIRC, this society then attempts to pursue diplomacy only to get massacred before the archaic male heroically sets up a MAD situation.

The archaic male then controversially hands over control of the MAD response to a weak willed/nuance entertaining female, and the trisolarans immediately attack.

Apologies if I’ve mixed the timeline, it’s been a while and the human story draped over the skeleton of an interstellar war was a bit thin.

It’s actually interesting those are the samples as I would probably characterize the West & (North) East they’re all from as the most “hyperactive” parts of the country vs the South & Mexican Border at the other end of the spectrum, with the Mid West & rest of the East somewhere in between (but probably closer to the coasts than the south & border).

Look out for any exciting opportunities to visit El Paso, Texas or Birmingham, Alabama for a proper comparison sometime if you can.

Bonus points for Brownsville, Texas where you can get a well steeped mix of the South & border along with a rocket launch!

Facebook said it tied about 100 Facebook and Instagram accounts and pages to the alleged operation tied to people linked to the French military. The pages had about 5,000 followers on Facebook, the company said.

Two separate networks of Russian pages, both allegedly linked to a Russian troll group, were also removed. Those pages had about 6 million followers, Facebook said.

It’s not immediately clear from the article whether those Russian troll groups were the specific ones active alongside and with the French one in CAR, Niger etc, but some perspective is in order nonetheless.

I wonder if many of the new, non pc gaming users have seen either of the old or new site designs as opposed to one of the many mobile apps given how much interaction happens there and how strongly you’re pushed away to the official app.

Apple Music lets you upload any personal music and stream/re download it alongside normal offerings.

Works perfectly through music.apple.com and an oddly good native Android app.

Un ideally it requires a subscription, though there’s a generous three month free trial. I also don’t think there’s a self hosting option.

If it’s any consolation, the US has increasingly moved its diplomatic channels out of their traditional venues into the Pentagon over the past few decades, and it’s absolutely packed to the gills with Vindmans and Hills.

While the State Department might get a new coat of paint under Biden, it’s been being “gutted” for decades.

Burkina Faso (French) was at war with Mali (Soviet) later that year.

You don’t have to think anything, there are millions of boricuas across the US who will happily fill you in on how divisive statehood is and how little mainland politics factor into it.

Have to consider the context though, I’d point to it being a front end NPM compatible language from the same FAANG that React is from (vs a language from French academics that’s used in less popular domains) before curly braces.

Elm uses a more traditional ML syntax and AFAIK is more popular than Reason, though that’s complicated by it not using React and both of them being dwarfed by Typescript.

Christianity’s insistence on monogamy broke extended households into nuclear families. The Church uprooted horizontal, relational identity, replacing it with a vertical identity oriented toward the institution itself. The Church was stern about its marital policies. Violations were punished by withholding Communion, excommunicating, and denying inheritances to offspring who could now be deemed “illegitimate.”

I’m not quite sure what 17th century intraeuropean propaganda has to do with Andalusian conquistadors not being separatist English puritans, have you misread my comment as well?

That’s a misreading, not a correction.

There weren’t really any Spanish pilgrim settlers—a very specific type of colonizer—just conquistadors, and a bog standard extractive colonial empire.
