It actually exists though

Eh, I'd say let people have their fun, there's already more than enough discussion abiut serious issues around these parts and sometimes you just wanna laugh at someone's stupid mistake to feel a bit better about what's going on.

I feel like it'd be wise to wait for further developments. Valve is notorious for being horrible at communication, but even then it's rare that they do something like this without some sort of reason. It still sucks that Valve shut this down after 8 years, but it's hard to know anything for certain until either side comes out with more information, especially with how stupid Valve's legal team can be sometimes. Could be that they just backpedal and say it's alright in a few days, who knows.

Of course, trusting Valve is always as risky as trusting any other corporation, given they have a bit of a track record with tolerating and even outright allowing gambling with skins, but this could easily be their legal team being overzealous yet again as well.

I'm not an expert, but couldn't you pump the brine into a shallow reservoir and evaporate the water off, similar to how sea salt is made? If there isn't a significant amount of contaminants, you could theoretically just sell that as well, but even if not, the solid salt is a lot easier to deal with

Today I learned that Gallagher absolutely cannot draw legs under a cover.

The whole capitalization of pronouns thing was pretty much entirely made up around the 19th century anyway (as well as the capitalizing the word "Lord", which the King James version invented outright), so you can argue that protestant churches are following a woke plot to change the pronouns of the christian god as well.

You'd be entirely correct, and that's exactly why there's an ongoing debate in physics and cosmology as to why there's so much matter, and so little antimatter in the universe.

To be fair, I'd be absolutely vibing in a room like this. Probably wouldn't help a panic attack though.

That's true, but sometimes I definitely need a little push from someone in situations like this.

What does that have to do with echo chambers, exactly?

Breaking petrochemicals is exactly how we got into this mess though.
