The people next door to me use their big obnoxious speakers to play shit-tier rap a lot. Right now though, they're using them to blast classical music. As I write this Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 2 draws to a close, and they've moved on to this. I'm not sure how I feel about this.You've encountered Guerilla Music Education Squad. Prepare to have your horizons expanded.
Similar. My case is more of red, hot skin that sheds all the time and is so dry that it breaks all the time and other assorted stuff. It's not really that bad, except it was on like 90% of my body. Psoriasis is rarely dangerous and you can happily live with it but when you have 40+ degree celcius skin temperature on most of your body it's less fucking annoying and disgusting and more outright deadly.I've had low-grade psoriasis for like eight-ish years now - runs in the family. Fingernails are the worst TBH, single scattered skin plaques like I have are manageable, nails can actually hurt.
Also, apparently it was all due to the stress (the timeline checks out and there was no other reason for it to pop up now) caused by that thing with that one girl that I was talking about here that started almost an year ago. Reminds me, there's going to be an anniversary soon.
Welp.
Thankfully, I got better after spending whole summer holidays in hospital. On the immunosuppressants I don't have anything left, practically, just sometimes parts of my skin get a bit itchy but holy shit dude I almost forgot how it is to have regular, smooth skin. Seriously, be happy with that shit because it's something people take for granted while it could be really much, much worse.
On the other hand the immunosuppressants will proably get me cancer in few years (implying I won't die from some heart (or liver or kidneys or... you catch the drift) diease before) but win some lose some, eh.
Come on mons, don't hurt me....Dwarfy pls, I told you not to leak the album name to the public.

Digital Homicide's temper tantrum has actually exploded hard enough to get on BBC News:I actually followed Kotaku's link to the company response - turns out it's on the company's own site - and...

The dude's actions are completely nonsensical if very loud, he's chosen the shittiest hill to die on and by god he's letting the world know about it. Hopefully everyone, legal systems included, realize that this man is just a very noisy nothing and we can all agree to ignore him.
There are also some that form colonies of interconnected webs they maintain as a group, share captured food and care for their broods collectively.Well, then you're just speculating any which way the fancy strikes you. If we went with that, the first thing that would happen is that it would have to have lungs, because the trachea simply do not work at the dog-scale. Cognitive efficiency is not correlated with size alone; the bigger you are, the more neurons you need to wire up all the bodyparts, and improving that to mammalian levels via evolution is not a given (but possible - ask octopi).

I would also expect a spider the size of a dog to behave very differently to a spider the size of a grapefruit. Differences in the way strength works as size increases, the efficacy of venom production compared to using mechanical force to cause injury, the requirement for better vision, more food, decreased efficiency of webs and so on would make their standard lifecycle rather impractical.
The phone psychologist nods and writes in small leatherbound notebook:FTFY
He knows.
Yeah, but at that size their cognitive abilities would have to scale up as well for them to function well and they'd be able to be domesticated like cats/dogs, or at least trained like wolves.wot
Ah, but! Different Communist. And having Slavs and being post-communist would make Poland count as EE - word of advice, don't go around telling this to Poles.I made that check. The Balkans are apparently Southern Europe, basically the land East of Italy 'til the next body of water.Nope, definitely Eastern Europe. Used to be Communist, you see. And also the folks living there are Slavs, that's sort of a criterion too.
Would've said Eastern Europe instead but nu', too big.
Arguably, the game is trying to test your willingness to commit to nonviolence. Your singlemindedness, perhaps, or... hmm, there really should be a better word for that kind of thing...I actually don't... understand...Spoiler: No seriously spoiler (click to show/hide)
The problem is, the game does a rather poor job of explaining the mechanics of that.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
No. As far as I can tell, they want the suspensions of some of the students in their movement (Fees Must Fall) revoked. Those students are, as far as I know, suspended because they are awaiting trial at the High Court on suspicion of arson. Somebody firebombed the chancellor's office, a truck, and a bus.So let me get this straight, they are comitting criminal vandalism to protest their leaders being accused of comitting criminal vandalism?
It's extremely irritating in part because there are valid issues that people want to draw attention to, but it's difficult to be taken seriously because of the, well, criminals that use 'protest' as an excuse to get away with this kind of shit.
Do not utter his cursed name, or you will earn his wrath!It will definitely be terrible! It'll be a wrath like you've never seen before, with innovative, unique forms of anger.*
The state, that's me.The state is the summation of its people, its ideas, its dead, its leaders, its military, its idle pleasures, its ambitions, its virtuesYou won't be manipulating the state so much as the people though.The state is people.
