yeah it takes some relearning of the game and breaking of habits, especially if you are a “avoid turning” player (which most people are these days). if you cheat turns in doubles it is going to instantly punish you about 2/3 of the time

Google “Massachusetts crisis pregnancy” and this link pops up. It’s part of a statewide campaign, including public signage (highway billboards!), urging people to avoid crisis pregnancy/anti-abortion centers. The Commonwealth is not fucking around with this.

If you're gen x or millennial, odds are you have known some people online for *decades*. Across multiple now-dead forums, across vast gulfs of time in internet years. You've probably got a friend group that outlived multiple sites.
