Genuine ask, it (feels like) more and more fields have been shifting to soybeans for more than a decade. Who else is a major importer that justified the swing from corn and feeder silage, before China got on board?
E:googled my questions- its a high protein alternative to meat, so it is popular in China, Mexico, and EU where mass meat farms are not on the same priority or scale as the US. Its also easily swapped into animal feed, and is a good energy yield crop that costs less soil-nutrients than most other high value crops as it produces much of its own Nitrogen to grow. In scale - In those 7 years China now imports about 20-25% of all US soybeans harvested accounting for over half of all soybeans exports. The US accounts for 30% of world soybean exports.
Most farms in the US are on 3 crop rotation and private farms often use a 5 year payback plan (for land and equipment). They JUST GOT DONE paying off the loans they took to get massively into Soy. They saw Trump promise farmers the world, took loans and grew Soy, got slapped with a recession, and just as they are recovering from poor sales, they get hit again. Given 1 in 5 farms are an export farm (the 20% statistic from earlier), and where they're at in crop rotation, I would make a (wildly uneducated) guess that 1 in 3 farms will experience extreme hardship. Either they have savings to just eat the second recession hit and will remove any edge on "getting ahead", or will need bailout, or will go broke. The other 2/3 are on a different rotation or are major corporate farms that will find a buyer within their own meat farms system to try and mitigate the massive excess.
So was it actually triggering the violence and it happened to not be present or does it have a higher chance/ only trigger when the player is involved? Or would it just....stay home existing and not capable of triggering until it was called to the gathering?
I do not play the Sims, and am vaguely familiar with the concept of the game being controlling a families day to day life. What does the "extreme violence mod" do (that you can turn it off and somehow lose track of a character capable of it)
Shhh I know what levels you like to clear, Stealth Archer. I'll take care of you and give you plenty of opportunistic shadows from which to 4x headshot or 15x dagger people in
Realtalk, we have one just outside of town. Its not a bad experience just more effort and time than I want to put up with now that I'm on my own for a jack-o-lanturn. I have decorations and participate in candy handouts, but I usually forgot the pumpkin. Apartment living in the US means nothing to do with it as it gets soggy after 9 days.
The new other half wants to go though so I just might end up doing hay rides this year haha.
It wouldn't have worked. They were at war and wanted to fight. You see it even in Bad Batch - clones so attached to being a soldier and fighting they want to serve the new Empire, even as the Empire is "decomissioning" them. Theres an arc where a senator asks what they want to do now that they're retired and the initial reply is "uh we don't want to be, we want to continue being soldiers" even though the Empire was evil. Clones leaving service was so odd they get side stories specifically about them.
They would have been largely immune to that kind of propaganda, although it could have made a nice arc for Padme, instead of half the...whatever boring shit she and jarjar got up to.
It's a simple equation. But out of habit and not wanting to get it wrong, we type it into a calculator just to be sure, but it makes you look dumb, so you look around to ensure no one thinks you can't do basic math
Bro on rainbow road so he can have the patience for all his drunk friends lol
(But srs dangerous)
