How does The Wind Rises fit into this?

Plot spoilersI've always been a bit puzzled at that one, given that the protagonist spends most of the storyline designing and building warplanes. He's apparently motivated purely by the love of flight, but consequences are never directly addressed, except for maybe at the end when he comments on how they all got destroyed. Is he wilfully oblivious? Is he on board with Japanese aggression? Is this a comment on the "just doing my job" people involved in any war effort?

For those experiencing the same confusion as myself: those are not sources for the orphan/survivor benefits story, they're possible reasons why the media might not be reporting the story.

What kind of comments would qualify as "unhelpful"?

I'm going to search for the beached Lookfar. If memory serves, it was abandoned on Selidor, just past the Dragons' Run

My first thought! Although apparently it was designed to end in PvP. One of the best seasons in my book, definitely the top sidequest season.

I'll just leave this here.

A day care center in St. Louis encouraged toddlers to viciously brawl with each other in a "fight club," according to a lawsuit from the mother of one of the children and video of the incident that was released Wednesday.

There's a video!

Honestly puzzled, why is the grocery store so awful? Inflation, or is it a social anxiety thing?

Odd. Canada here as well, loads up a bit slow but gets there after maybe 10 seconds. No login required.

There's an expression in French, "enculage de mouches". Literally means "fucking flies in the ass" and, figuratively, refers to being impossibly pedantic and nitpicky. Closest equivalent in English would be "splitting hairs" I think

That's an odd way of spelling "taint tanning"
