The same can be said for many episodes in 10-episode seasons, and due to that constraint those examples are more disruptive to plot progression and tend to be counterbalanced with episodes which rush progression but aren't actually good.

I'm a millennial and always felt this way, but after my industry of expertise was recently shut down domestically I moved into an entry level role elsewhere and it's now much worse, even with semi-decent labour protections in my country

Moto g play 2024. Happy with it. My flatmate just got a new Galaxy, which cost about 9x as much. For my use case, I'm missing a brighter display, esim support, and gorilla glass. That's not worth paying 9x. My battery also lasts significantly longer.

They're already looking at ending in-person town hall meetings due to the backlash they're getting. Which will just cause constituents to seek out their reps in an unmanaged setting

Qualifying your analogy with (mostly) kinda makes it fall apart for me. Because the fediverse also works like how you described email (mostly). There might be a few extra exceptions due to relative immaturity of the protocol is all.

It's already down for me

There's caveats to that these days. Official streaming, in practice, sure. But with a debrid/similar service and sufficient bandwidth, you can pirate stream files with equivalent quality to uncompressed Blurays

This one & LaD Gaiden (The man who erased his name) are more story DLC's for Yakuza 7 & 8, respectively. Just, they are big enough to merit standalone releases in RGG's opinion. LaD Gaiden was essentially an experiment in releasing this way, and it went well. But the new game isn't Yakuza 9, if that makes sense.

GNOME on my laptop, using the trackpad. Three-finger swipe up to switch tasks/search. Two-finger tap for context menus. Three-finger tap for things like opening in a new tab, or closing a tab. Simple, intuitive, efficient, comfortable.

I think you can just add archive.md or archive.ph etc before the URL of the article, e.g. archive.ph/https://vox.com/whatever to skip that. I've never had to do any captchas this way

You gotta actually break the procurement cycle where they receive books free to own themselves and it's not some janky copy before they realise this way is better

Check their libraries for their favourite authors. Get them a Kobo. Load it up with their favourite author's bodies of work before giving it to them. Problem solved.
