It provides a safety net by pooling the resources of the community to support the less fortunate. This prevents people from having to sacrifice their long term goals because their short term needs may not be otherwise met.

Also in contrast to capitalism that treats society as a zero sum game ("I can't get ahead unless I take something from someone else") socialism is a benefit multiplier ("I'm part of the community. By making the life of everyone in the community better I'm also improving my own life").

They are really good at providing examples for why civilized society needs socialism.

Or companies do hire security, but the security team is incompetent and unable/unwilling to adapt to new challenges. Then it devolves into security theater, until either someone new comes who cleans house or a breach happens.

Arch: I need reproducible setups. Also bleeding edge is not for me.

I have to give credit to their documentation though!

Mine has a precondition option that can both heat the cabin and warm up the battery while still plugged in (a warm battery will give you better range). The heaters keep up, and in fact can warm the cabin faster than on ICE: The latter uses waste heat from the engine, the EV just uses a heating element like a space heater for home would.

I don't recall Reddit having unique content - what I do remember however was that it had aggregated content. It filled the role of Slashdot, Fark, and other sites, and it had a comment threading system that was far more usable. The memes came after.

But Jaskier isn't gay in the show, either. He's bisexual.

Oh yeah, that completely changes things, and does completely fit in with the character.

I do have to admit that I did not watch the latest season, not because of Jaskier but because of what they did to Eskel in the previous season. So I took the other commenter's word that the character was made gay. I guess that's what I get for assuming honesty until proven differently on the Internet.

I believe they're referring to the character of Jaskier/Dandelion, who in the lore is a womanizing, promiscuous bard. Pretty much the DnD bard player character archetype. It is also pivotal to a number of plot points, because the character's womanizing habits frequently land him in trouble, making him a "damsel in distress" supporting character. Which in itself works better when the character is straight because it subverts the trope.

The thing is also that there's plenty of characters in the story who are or could be made gay without serious repercussions to the plot.
