If you make yourself irreplaceable you can’t get promoted.
Everyone always has a plan until they get punched in the face.

Games workshop would then have to use both of them. Space marines pre-date both of them.

1. Kids. Being married before you have kids is huge in some states and important in many. In my state unmarried father’s have no rights to children even if they sign the birth certificate. Sure you can adopt, but that’s far more expensive than a marriage certificate.

2. Protection in the case of breakup or divorce. You have rights to shared property in a divorce, you have no rights to anything you didn’t buy or put in your name otherwise. You can sort of solve this with making a partnership and putting all assets into it, but it’s not quite the same and far more complicated. Also if you aren’t the breadwinner, there isn’t really a way to ensure spousal support without a marriage.

3. Legal protections. You can’t be compelled to testify against a spouse. While you can do things like medical power of attorney, you don’t get it by default like marriage, which means you either need that document on hand at all times or in an emergency situation you could be prevented access or decision making authority until you provide documentation. There’s also social security, you can draw on a spouse, but there isn’t an equivalent, same for pensions that offer survivor benefits.

4. Insurance benefits from employers generally require you to be married.

It’s largely a problem with misusing specialty doctors and emergency rooms. There needs to be a decade long focus on more family medicine doctors and improving their workload and pay.

ER and urgent care doctors are trained in acute care and trauma. They aren’t trained or meant to handle chronic disease or preventative care, they are meant to handle after the bad thing happens.

This actually helps AI, once his writing gets tagged as an attempt to confuse models it can be adapted to. Also because humans aren’t as good at random as they think they are it’s likely easy for an LLM to recognize.

Always Sunny and Arrested Development. Both shows are just people being really fucking stupid and it’s somehow hilarious.

I watched the first season of White Lotus and it’s ok at best, I have no wish to watch more of it.

The story for this game is pretty fun and memorable. It’s a shame the gameplay itself is lacking, there’s way too much going on and there’s not a great gameplay loop. The open world bits are pretty bad, but were required to unlock useful spells and things for the battles. The battles were ok, but could have benefitted from more focus on making the transition smoother between modes.

Whether they are a cause or symptom, people shooting up in the streets and leaving needles everywhere is unacceptable.
