  • Did they, though? They may not be able to pass laws as easily, but no one has the power to pass laws they won’t like, so at “best”, the situation won’t get worse, if given extraordinary optimism that current status won’t further escalate if unattended. From what I’ve read, they lost coalition with another conservative party, but that doesn’t mean the other party won’t have same views as them, therefore voting as they do. With how people spoke, I thought the old party got something like 10% with a super progressive party getting ~90%.






  • The entire main story and ending of Cyberpunk 2077. Had me straight up nasty crying under a shower, which I’ve never done before or since. I’ve been born sick with different degrees of it impacting my life, including being close to death and barely if at all able to move. Losing control over your body with no hope of help, and people not caring or doing so performatively, unable to relate, hit too hard.

    Ironically, I think the game is badly written and the irony of an anti-corpo setting being ruined by corpos pursuing big “celebs” instead of spending the money on something useful, with said “celebs” playing really fucking badly (shoutout to the director of voice acting, since they’re technically responsible - everyone speaks so slowly and oddly it’s really hard to listen to - awful job). I really need to just focus on small games, because the big titles are always re-shitted shit made to be liked by everyone, but impossible to enjoy if you’re someone.




  • Of course. Sorry for not responding quicker, I was asleep and then cozy in the bed.

    If the spider is a native to the area, it will likely be able to survive outside, Crawford said. But if the spider is a transplant that’s become a house spider — even if its ancestors made the voyage to the “new” place decades to hundreds of years ago — odds are, the spider will perish outside, Crawford said.

    That’s because most spiders are adapted to specific places and temperatures, Crawford said.

    “The American house spider (Parasteatoda tepidariorum) [is] probably native to northern South America,” Crawford said. “It undoubtedly lives outdoors just fine if your backyard is in Brazil or Guyana.” Even species that moved from one climate to a similar one seem to have trouble. Take the giant house spider (Eratigena atrica), a native of England. It traveled west when the British settled British Columbia, Canada, and the species later made its way south, to Seattle.

    Now, E. atrica can be found in houses across parts of the northwestern U.S. (including this reporter’s childhood home). But the species is hardly ever found outside, even though Seattle’s climate is fairly similar to London’s.

    “You would think it could survive outside, but we never find it in natural habitats around here — just [in] man-made habitats, such as buildings, brick piles, junk piles and retaining walls,” Crawford said. “So, it does, in fact, survive to some extent outside of buildings, but always in a man-made shelter.”

    What to do

    If you see a spider creep across your bedroom, don’t squish it — but don’t throw it outside, either, Crawford said. Instead, move it to another part of your residence where you don’t mind having spiders, such as the garage, he suggested.
