Also, some industries and hospitals use strong gamma sources, such as Cs-137 and Co-60. Yes, those sources have been stolen or lost on multiple occasions, often resulting in deaths from radiation sickness.

Last year, we wrote about survivor Taylor Cadle. When she was 12, she told police she’d been raped. They said she was lying and charged her with false reporting. She then took the extraordinary measure of recording the next act of abuse.

Now, Taylor has legal counsel and filed a lawsuit.

Having flipped an ATV entirely upside down and almost having it roll on me was enough to cure me of any desire to ride an ATV ever again.

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

This. The other thing that the og metaphor gets wrong is that politicians aren't experts in the field of policy, they are sometimes experts in the field of getting elected in their district/state/county whatever.

You confront this attitude in clients who think that there is always a viable "something" even when they come to you with a burning trash fire, and sometimes the answer you have to give is: your options are now fairly limited. The options you do have are risky and probably won't get you much.

Bro what do you mean it’s literally their jobs. They’re politicians. They’re supposed to make policy. If my car doesn’t work I can say “do something” to the mechanic, even if I’m not sure what needs done, bc I expect they’ve studied it more than I.

Country star Bryan Andrews breaking up with his fascist fans and fascist America. Fuck ICE to hell, Bryan says. I think many of us would agree with him 100%.
