A US state has already subpoenaed Facebook for Messenger texts to prove an abortion case. It's not speculative.

I prefer to do one bond per character, maybe two if the party is very small. It's hard to keep track of four bonds per character and overwhelming. But any of them provides great role playing opportunities if you take the time to fill in the details.
It's very irregular for a country to take back top level domains. Even refusing to renew registrations is unheard of.
ML, tk, etc broke ground by offering free country code TLDs starting 10 years ago. This was possible until Meta sued Freenom this year for issuing domains to the majority of all sources phishing traffic.
Basically, the internet got used to getting TLDs for free, and that was great, except the issuers of said domains (African countries with not a lot of money) have no obligation and no incentive to keep doing that forever. Especially after it became a liability.
I just played my first Dungeon World session (one shot) and it was easily my most memorable in years. The bonds system absolutely slaps, by the way. 100x more interesting than anything D&D has for character flavor.
Industry standard for typesetting is Adobe InDesign, which is always morally permissible to p*rate. A great free alternative is Scribus. And of course, Microsoft Word (paid), Google Docs (free), openoffice (free), LibreOffice (free) and OnlyOffice (free) are all usable for basic typesetting and can export to PDF.
Another billionaire buying political relevance.
There's no real way to avoid it being a popularity contest.
They did advertise as rules-light. But with over 450 pages I guess it's a lot of world building, maybe with a bit of a monster manual in there too.
They really have thought of everything!
St Louis actually has a music scene so I go to see live music, especially festivals nearby or 1/2 states away. Regular bands, opera, symphony, jazz, musicals, etc. Kansas City is nearby enough that I can pop over if I'm excited for a big act. Chicago is a train ride away.
Tabletop rpgs or video games. I'm moving away from crunchy games like D&D towards narrative focused stuff. MoTW, Dungeon World, Wanderhome, one-page RPGs.
I'm a weird coffee person so I have a booklet where I rate coffees and I brew at home.
Cooking is a hobby of mine that I quite enjoy, especially when I invite friends over to help.
Are we really thinking people regularly check browser rankings and go out and try new ones that are trending? That doesn't ring true to me. I try a new browser if I see a recommendation, if ever.
