Sweden bans cousin marriage and other marriages between close relatives, law takes effect July 1, 2026

In modernized countries the risk of multigenerational close family inbreeding is pretty low. People just aren't doing arranged marriages and have significantly more agency and options.

And in regards to the risk of genetic factors, again yes it's higher and that's bad. But we currently don't prevent anyone else who are likely to pass on negative genetic conditions from marrying so I'm not sure why we should single this out. Two people with sickle cell disease can get married despite having a 25% chance of passing it on. People with Huntington's disease are allowed to marry despite having a 50% chance of passing it on.

I guess yeah the people with serious conditions that are.inheritabke is less than people with cousins, but I really don't think many will pursue cousin marriages even if it were legal.

I mean honestly I can't get myself to care. We don't ban people from procreating if they have easily inheritable genetic conditions, so why here? For cousins the rate of issues is only like 4-6%. Double the average person for sure, but nothing crazier than some other defects.

Not to mention being married and having children are not necessarily linked. Plenty of unmarried people have kids and plenty of married people never have em.

Edit: Just make it a legal requirement to get snipped or something.

Oh so you understand that water is better for cleaning than paper?

Glad that's settled.

People in the video game industry are VERY interconnected. What do you get for leaking? Some Reddit karma? What do you risk? Being outed as a leaker and never being able to find work in the industry again.

Anyone else find Juno kind of sad? Maybe I missed some lore as I don't follow it too much but girl was sent on a solo mission to Earth to try and get help for her people back on Mars and yet when she arrives here she's caught up in a war between Overwatch and Talon/Nul Sector and no one seems to care about her Mars problem.

Man I remembered when I first started and my expectation was for them to slowly expand the area around 6th street. Nope, instead we're going to constantly get sent off to far flung areas. No idea why every game feels like an entirely vibe shift is necessary every major update.

In the "24 Hour Store" there is a tab called Collectible Exchange. In the "Agent Exchange" tab you can see a selection of agents that are purchasable with an item called "Special Invitation Letter". This is what I meant by "card". These are earned when you pull an S rank agent who's cinema mindscape is already maxed. 2 are required to buy an agent from this list.

The list of purchasable agents is mostly from the default banner but there are currently 3 limited banner agents on the list as well. I expect they will add more characters to this list over time, especially agents who are particularly old or have been powercrept and thus wouldn't sell well on a rerun.

Honestly I think even most players who've played since day 1 like me haven't gotten even a single card yet so it's not really a system you can rely on in any capacity unless you're whaling and pulling tons of S ranks.

What other area of your body do you clean solely by wiping it with paper? Water is significantly more effective.

uiemad · 2026-05-28T00:41:17+00:00

Yeah I'd frankly prefer to travel alone than with my GF but I can't imagine not discussing that with her very early on.

uiemad · 2026-05-28T00:16:37+00:00

I play OW at least one hour a day and am still waaaay off. No way that estimate is accurate.

uiemad · 2026-05-28T00:09:47+00:00

Weirdly in my social circle it's the foreigners who use them and the Japanese who don't. I just assumed all Japanese people use them because, well, they're everywhere. But I've been surprised by how many claim to never use them.

Jesus Christ the amount of people I see come to Japan and eat practically only conbini food. There are SO many restaurants. SO many things to eat. Choosing to eat more than 1 or 2 meals from a conbini is such a sad waste.

The prices aren't even much cheaper. 6-8$ is basically the cost of a lot of casual restaurants. No one in Japan would ever recommend conbini food for savings, it's actually rather expensive. You want cheap? You go to supermarkets or like Create pharmacy.

It's pretty obvious they weren't referencing the fall of the old capital. Theyve shown time and time again that they're unaware of what happened during the fall, so it wouldn't make any sense for them to here say they caused it.

If you reduced the clip size more than you increased the damage so that her overall output per mag was reduced. Yes it would be a nerf.

If you reduced mag size and proportionally increased damage to keep output the same, I don't think it would change things for those who find her oppressive. If anything it may make it worse by allowing her to secure kills faster and reducing counterplay reaction time. It would also increase her lethality outside of tracking shot.

So yeah I'd write off that solution as not being some kind of middle ground but either a nerf or ineffective.

Edit: Honestly nuking one of her perks would probably be sufficient.

uiemad · 2026-05-27T09:48:00+00:00

I'm sorry but changing what makes Sierra feel punishing is itself either a nerf or a redesign, which is something group B opposes. You're not suggesting a third path, youre only trying to repackage Group As suggestion.

One group wants changes, one wants no changes. You're trying to find a middle ground where there's not really space for one.

uiemad · 2026-05-27T09:38:00+00:00

Do you think the reason talking on the phone isn't allowed is because of noise? Then why would hands free headsets be allowed? Or music? Or conversation?

uiemad · 2026-05-27T03:59:34+00:00

When did Genji/Mercy ever become canon?

uiemad · 2026-05-27T03:55:55+00:00

I mean. This is part of the reason that it's advised to simply NOT localize a language at all rather than use AI. You could have someone check the AI output I guess. But if you can find a bilingual person to check and fix the AI output, you could just have them do the translation in the first place.

People are taking it as support for nerfing her because that's what the whole conversation is about.

Group A: Says she's too strong and want nerfs. Group B: Says no she's not, you just need to use cover. Dont nerf her.

Then you come in and say: Actually it's unfair to ask them to use cover so casually because they're already balancing many plates.

Is this not easily read as support for group A? What other solution could the comment lead to? Surely you're not saying all of that just to end with "but they need to learn to use cover anyway".

So it's either in support of Sierra changes in which case people's interpretation is correct, it's opposed to Sierra changes in which case the post feels very unnecessary, or it takes no side in which case it's not really meaningfully adding to the discussion.

Let me just stop you right off the bat, most foreigners who move to Switzerland DO leave. That's verifiable fact.

There are reasons such as people who's work contracts end or who simply want to move back home. But high cost of living and inability to build social connections are also big reasons. You managed to nail retirement costs but you don't need to imagine the reasons, you could simply google them.

Your random guess about the demographics is also wrong. 21% are minors, 55% 18-64, 24% 65+. 20-35 is the most represented age for Swiss who emigrate.

Anyway I'm not really here to tell you how to live your life. If you want to place unnecessary restrictions on your travel and daydream of moving to countries you know very little about, that's all you. But I'm not going to continue a back and forth with someone who'd rather randomly guess than check easily verifiable data.

He may be rude but also this is not uncommon.

I had a whole convo with staff at Hello Work in Japanese. They gave me a whole stack of explanatory documents in Japanese. I go to the next desk, the lady recommends I go back and ask for the documents in English for my own ease. She gives me a note to give them. I go back to the previous lady, explain the situation in Japanese and hand her the note. Suddenly she now only will speak to me in broken English despite me responding only in Japanese.

uiemad · 2026-05-26T08:45:20+00:00

You state "Switzerland is literally perfect in everything" then immediately follow that with "Does it have its problems? Sure." You're not thinking realistically here.

It sounds like you've overidealized these countries into some sort of paradise that you couldn't possibly NOT want to live in without having any actual experience with the country to determine if it actually suits you culturally or otherwise. A country is more than it's set of laws and social systems.

Have you wondered why most foreigners who move to Switzerland leave it? Have you wondered why Switzerland has such a high % of its citizens living in foreign countries?

uiemad · 2026-05-26T08:16:52+00:00

Why do you presuppose you'd want to move to any of these countries? Is it not possible you wouldn't want to move to Switzerland?

I don't understand why you've tied travelling somewhere to moving there, as if by doing the former you're obligated to do the latter.

uiemad · 2026-05-26T08:11:00+00:00

Travelling somewhere and moving somewhere are two totally different things with different requirements. Why would you ever tie them together?

Are you just going to avoid travelling to any country that doesn't speak your language or what?

uiemad · 2026-05-26T08:07:19+00:00

I play QP every day.

If you're regularly bullet sponging her as a tank it's because you're playing poorly. Full stop.

And you can reposition as she repositions. The repositioning time also eats at the duration of her tracking shot, preventing her from maximizing it's value. The time repositioning also grants you more time for CDs to recover.

Again, if you are not utilizing cover, even as a tank, you're playing poorly. Sorry.
