The plot wasn't based on true events. Also the DGSE cooperated in the production of the series so I imagine they weren't too keen on that. That said, I didn't feel that the series was a "look how awesome we are!" puff piece. On the contrary the characters were very human and they fucked up a lot. I like that it was subtle and not action-y.

It may have been alluded to but definitely not discussed in any detail.

You may like Les Bureau des Legendes.

That's a different point from your original comment.

Love the premise but couldn't get the night phase to work when I ran a one-shot. It quickly became repetitive thought that may have been just my lack of experience with the game.

Aren't there already basic laws against officials profiting from their role?

It's a horrible idea that will cause untold death and suffering among the civilian population.

Hello fellow listener, what games do you play? I'm currently running a play-by-post of Urban Shadows.

Being backed into a corner? They're the aggressor.

> he basically explained it was normal

I think this is just him trying to justify it.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. What I meant was that it was my impression that the argument over fluoride has been going on for longer and is bigger than this one case. How and why the judge ruled and what the ruling was is tangential to that.

I'm not in the US but doesn't that downplay it a bit? Hasn't this been a contentious topic for some time? It's not like no one's been talking about it and Utah suddenly decided out of the blue.

More like "there are pros and cons but there doesn't have to be a big political fight about it".

> And possibly also because they do similar cyber attacks, so they don't hold it against them.

"We spy on them so them spying on us is not a threat" does not make sense.

The board shows the moves, and the right side lists them in notation along with some commentary. On move 61 Black blunders, allowing White a mate-in-1. White misses it, however, also blundering on move 62.

I encourage you to learn the notation! It's not difficult and will open up a wealth of resources: books, articles, videos, etc.

As for the mate in 1, it's in the analysis next to the game board (you'll need to learn notation to read it).

What do they have to say about it?

> the company would be getting “back to our roots around free expression” to allow “more speech and fewer mistakes.”

Regardless of anyone's opinion on this move, as a long-time user it's never felt like Facebook was about free speech.

Wasn't a large part of that caused by the de-Baathification of the government and security forces?

Just because an article focuses on one topic doesn't mean the subject is being singled out.

I don't agree it was reasonable that Ukraine couldn't strike airbases when it had the chance. Meanwhile it's Russia that is escalating: targeting civilians on a mass and individual scale, torturing and murdering POWs, using gas. They know there will only be condemnation and hand-wringing but no action.

Were nukes launched after the Kursk offensive? That eas a bright red line if Russia ever had one.

The West's drip-feeding of support and arbitrary restrictions on the use of weapons was a disaster.

Regardless of your views on DEI, why should that be up to the government?

I'm not sure what any of that has to do with my question. The person I replied to said that from what he knew worker rights were somewhat better in the US so I asked for examples. How an employer treats you is of course important, but can't really be considered worker rights if they can decide to change that depending on market conditions.

Again, I'm not arguing about who has it better. I am asking a very narrow question about worker rights differences between the two countries. If you want me to say that US software workers have it better, then sure. But that's not really what I'm asking.

That compensation is better isn't in dispute. My question is about worker rights, how much of the stuff you posted is just your company vs US law? Are you protected better by law than someone here would be?

> Australia seems to have worker rights that make most of the US look decent by comparison

This is the first I've heard anyone say that. Can you elaborate? We've got more leave (separate holiday and sick leave), none of the "at-will" stuff, right to disconnect, less hours, etc.

Do you mean the points earned in-store that are then sent to Flybuys to add to your total? Or, god forbid, do they do their own total?

As someone who loves both can you explain the two very different views?
