I'm going to take a different approach than most of the other comments here: you can't. Microplastics are in the air and a large chunk of it comes from car tire residue. You're breathing it, likely right now. Research is still in the early phases and we just don't know how bad it is yet, both from the proliferation and the impact side of things.

Source is Breaking the Plastic Wave and Overview on the occurrence of microplastics in air.

Ah, there's the catch and confusion. Not required for single player but required for multi, I guess? Not sure how others play Civ but that's not gonna affect me. I've only ever played these games solo besides a very rare duo game.

It doesn't. They mentioned there would be a unique skin for Napoleon if you signed up but it didn't sound required.

Holy shit, Timesplitters!

Iirc, the vast majority of microplastics come from the air (from vehicle tires) and not from ingestion. I'm not sure this is going to radically improve our microplastic crisis, but hopefully it is a step on the way to a more holistic solution.

Pathfinders, you could say

I think the distributed nature of Mastodon keeps government control from being an issue. It would be kind of cool as a space for citizens to ask for assistance or air grievances while giving the politicians an officially owned space for things like announcements.

Not really. Most large story DLCs for any Bethesda game require all expansions. I suspect it's for assets, but I would also just pick the largest use case (and already owning the expansions most certainly is the largest use case) and say it's a requirement also, so I'm not chasing down edge cases for people all day. Just the rough math of releasing something you have to support afterwards.

They are very upfront about the bot describing bias against the American center and not the global or whatever "objective" standard people try to insert. By that metric, center-left perfectly describes NYT. Their editorial board has posted multiple times describing Trump as an unfit candidate and they have historically endorsed the democratic candidate. They're obviously not even American leftist and they're not center-left on the global scale, but it's all relative.

I personally like the extra information and those who don't are free to block the bot. I have seen commentor twisting themselves into absolute pretzels to avoid admitting that they can simply block the bot.

It's listed in the article. It's "Forever" by Judy Blume. Not sure that I'm familiar with it.

Hey, that's a neat image. I've seen other ways of visualizing the popular vote on a map but this one looks wonky as hell and I like it.

None of that works when "because I say so" is supported by a majority of the electorate. I'm not sure where the numbers come up exactly on Walters and this specific issue, but the Oklahoma electorate is not gonna be as clean cut against this as you might hope.

 

The first thread was fun, let's try again! And let's try to keep it positive, that's always a lot more fun to read.

Personally, the new Fable trailer was exciting and Clair Obscure was the most interesting new IP I saw.

 

Gotta be Civ 7 for me, but I'd love to see some other highlights shouted out by people who are excited for them!

 

Hello! First, a huge shout out to the creator of this community for bringing over the old FTB community.

For my actual request, I am just looking to get some community input on the best modern mod pack that contains MineColonies. My partner loves playing for that mod and that mod only. I'm more of a kitchen-sink or progression-based player, so I'm just looking for whatever the new hotness™️ is.

Or, just give me your favorite pack newer than a year or so old, I'm just aiming to look around for the first time in a while.
