It doesn't matter to me whether there was ever a mystery because that wasn't the interesting part. "What are they working on?" doesn't need to have an amazing answer; it could just be accounting for all I care. What matters is who the characters are, what they have done and will do and why. And more importantly, the way it highlights issues with corporations by drawing interesting parallels within the story. Maybe people in real life will be inclined to question their own conditions and be inspired to protest for better lives.

Depending on which Native Americans we're taking about, some of them drove entire herds of bison over cliffs. Our European ancestors hunted the mastodon to extinction, I think? In Australia and New Zealand a bunch of reptiles and the moa birds were wiped out by humans.

I don't think most humans are ever thinking about genocide exactly (probably some are/were), but that they're focused on feeding and defending their communities and not considering the balance of the ecosystem.

Even if someone merely has a rank, you still have to listen to them if they've been assigned authority over you within a system that coerces your compliance under a threat of some kind. What phrase would be better to describe this kind of authority?

It looks like that's a different app, so no. OP pointed out some subtle differences though. It's roughly the same, but with the layout altered slightly. I think it probably looks like a more drastic change to those not already using the grid view; I had forgotten list was even an option.

Oh, I see. Thank you. The differences were too subtle for me, and I only just now learned what a bottom sheet is! :)

Still, it doesn't seem a very significant change. I'm neither pleased nor upset by it, but rather wondering what the point is. Maybe the cosmetic changes are simply a small addition to more important changes under the hood?

I'm about to flip a grunt.

These lyrics are great.

What if I commanded you to bark at Will??

What's new about it? The screenshot looks like my Firefox looks already, and it's been this way for a long time. Did I maybe forget signing up to test beta features??

They don't need to be formal leaders to be leaders. In a cooperative video game it's pretty normal to have everyone just milling about until one or two people take charge of organizing. You might have one person herd a party together while another informs on strategies and organizes people into roles. They're often not even the leader of the party as designated by the game; it's the social dynamic of deferring to someone who seems to know what they're doing that matters.

I never notice a smell unless it's like someone literally pissed on the floor or something, which is not super common around here. I bet you they're probably ventilated.

God, I'm so fucking tired of seeing a load of women having sex whenever I'm trying to find femboys getting railed. At least have the girls doing the railing if they have to be there.
