Echo that... not having the problem m'self. Also don't know how to fix it, heh. I think my best guess for an attempt would be to try it in html mode and see if it gives you some sort of response option... the support pages on the subject seem to suggest there should be one, but there's not one in that screenie.

We also regularly maim them for aesthetic purposes (tail, ear snipping, arguably declawing, definitely some of the things that get done to birds, plenty of other things -- to be fair, we do this to human kids, too), do many things that aren't survival related that do great harm (sport hunting, again, ferex), and just kinda' so on and so forth. The argument that we care about consent from or unnecessary harm to animals outside of strictly survival related things is still pretty spurious -- we tend to object to outright torture or really horrible conditions, but everything short of that has a lot of give. We as a species are legally entailed in most countries to do some pretty horrible shit to them, heh. The best part is it's even normalized so much in many areas that people don't even blink, or recognize it as notable harm.

Plus they're a terrible source of food per acreage and whatnot :V

'Bout the best one is harm to the animal, really. 'Course that mostly only applies to ~half the human race, and can be largely/entirely mitigated beside, but... yeah. Basically much the same reason we have underage laws -- a lot of the time there's a non-negligible amount of risk of harm (bit more complicated with consent et al involved, but eh), to the point it's not really worth it from a administrative/legal point of view to allow for exceptions.

... 'course, that concern for harm flies in the face of the whole "We're okay with cooking and eating them" thing (and what we do to hunting animals, vermin catchers, etc., etc.), but... s'kinda' hard to really expect much coherency/consistency from most folks on the subject of sex *shrugs*

More salt than the Salar de Uyuni, yikes.

Does probably mean I'll actually get to vote for someone besides clinton in the primary, though, which is nice(?).

I see his name and all I can think is that it's so very close to deadpool...

Maaaybe. In the interim, if you've got the spare computer resources (ram, mostly) and are willing to sleep or hibernate the computer instead of shutting down, you might be able to get away with just suspending the program* (so it stops eating CPU and passing time and whatnot) when you need to stop instead of closing it outright. Some games don't react well to that, but it probably couldn't hurt to try, at least as a holdover until they implement something more reasonable. Is how I deal with most games that either don't respond well to being out of focus or don't have a saving feature but do have lengthy playtimes.

*Standard windows task manager can't do that, but process explorer (and no doubt several other things) can quite easily.

*pokes helgo with the thread title* You can generally assume most of the conversation is re: the US

Also from what I'm aware of most of the stuff outside the US isn't so much big pharma not being evil out there as it is y'all's governments going, "No, fuck you, sit down and stop screwing people." The US... mostly doesn't do that.

There's at least one mod that makes advn parties opt-in. May be one or two that just nixes them, too. Might consider picking one up.
