An Indigenous girl asked to reconnect with her culture. In a ‘racist’ child protection system, her pleas were ignored
  • But quoting it implies it’s an invalid claim.

    Interesting. I read the quotes as meaning: someone else said it, it's not just some opinion we made up. In this case, it was reporting the coroner's official finding.

    In other words, I understood it to be reinforcing the claim rather than invalidating it.

  • Older patient gamers: what is your preferred gaming platform?
  • Why so often? I just updated my almost 10 year old PC that had one gpu upgrade in its life, and was still happily playing the 10 year old games I wanted to play.

    Then I got the new PC with decent specs and decided to push its limits with some Stardew Valley.

  • Japan high court rules same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional
  • The article has a paragraph later on that says:

    In rejecting the plaintiffs' claims for damages, the court said, "It cannot be said that discussions at the Diet...regarding provisions not allowing same-sex marriage are clearly in violation of the Constitution."

    I suspect the plaintiffs are only appealing that aspect of the judgment.

  • Post home buying experience
  • In our previous house, we discovered that a component of the roof guttering was a tomato sauce bottle with a hole it. It was doing the job, so we just laughed and left it where it was.

  • Advice running PF2E Abomination Vaults
  • My group is about 30-40% of the way through, so I can speak from experience about the later parts of the campaign. But so far we are enjoying it.

    It's a combat-heavy campaign as written, so if your party wants to just roll dice and smash things, you might be fine running it completely as is.

    My group is more focused on mystery solving and roleplay; they get more of a kick out of piecing together what happened down there than powering through baddies. One of my gripes about the module is there is a huge amount of back story that's given to the GM for each area, but few suggestions on how to get that information to the players. I've started to tailor some encounters to have more options to use stealth or talking to avoid encounters and/or get more information, as well as adding things like old notes and letters to find.

    The other thing I've found is, as written, the Vaults can feel very static. The players can clear a few rooms, leave, come back, and everything is where they left it. If you want to making it react more to a party rampaging around, it will take additional work.

    Abomination Vaults Expanded (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/418672/The-Abomination-Vaults-Expanded) is one resources I've been borrowing ideas from to adding bulk to the campaign, and might be worth looking at.

  • Jamie Raskin Accuses Trump Attorney Habba of Thinking Like a 'New York Mobster'
  • This sounds like a good way to turn an ally against them.

    Does Trump have any leverage on Kavanaugh? He played close to the line with the rules to get him appointed for life, but choosing a person likely to be ideologically symathetic is more of a mutually beneficial arrangement than a favour.

    It feels like the best way to get someone who is in a secure position of power like that offside is to tell them they have to do what you say or that they owe you. Kavanaugh can just as easily say Trump is disqualified, and never be told he owes anyone again.

    Clarity of this community's purpose?

    Can anyone clarify what this community is for? The only post here suggests it's to replace the auslaw subreddit, which is mostly lawyers shit-talking about the legal profession and a lot of fun. However it's got the same name as the auslegal subreddit, which is a train wreck of non-lawyers asking other non-lawyers legal questions and getting terrible hot takes and badly Googled answers in reply.
