What is happening in this country? The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly considering a reality show where immigrants compete in challenges for a shot at U.S. citizenship. Officials claim, “This isn’t The Hunger Games for immigrants.”

Amazon planned to display cost of Trump's tariffs.
Trump complained — Amazon backtracked.
This of course comes after Bezos donated to Trump's inauguration and Amazon bought a Melania documentary.
And remember that Amazon is being sued by FTC for antitrust violations.

The reason I have so many hours of Dragon Age Origins gaming is because it takes me so much time and analysis to determine the socio-political and economic impact of my decisions. Even romancing certain characters lmao.

Getting omegaverse biology infused into AI results is one of the unsung achievements of my people.
‘You mean I can’t use AI for research? But but but it’s so much easier than doing actual research!’
Honey, it tells you to eat rocks for your health and that omegaverse is anatomically possible for humans. I would NOT trust the advice or research if I were you.
