The delicious irony is that they now get to live in the world they helped create.

Seeing as how Trump publicly announced his intention to throw him in prison for life, maybe he ought to be thinking a little bit about self preservation.

I’ve literally never seen any of these except the top symbol.

Nope! Gotta keep our eye on 2028!!!

You forgot to escape.

For anyone interested in some light fiction on the subject, may I direct you to On the Beach by Neville Shute.

He’s a dream divine and we make love together 🎶

Nope, been playing it for a couple days now. It’s just the same as it ever was. The web port itself is seamless (been playing on Firefox with a 10-year-old Macbook), but the game has a clunky, PITA UI.

It’s kinda maddening in that no matter how well you clear every level, your character is likely to stall at some point and you’ll have to start over. For anybody who doesn’t know, you can start the game over again using the same character and re-loot the same levels; they don’t respawn once you clear them otherwise. In this way you can continually train up your character to make it further into the dungeon. At first it seems like this was a mistake, but then it seems that it actually was a design decision. It was the first of its kind, so it gets a pass I suppose.

The shopkeepers inventory also does not cycle until you buy something and then that slot refills. So whatever you’ve got is what you’ve got. Unlike most of the games that came after, you are actually somewhat dependent on the shopkeepers for decent gear.

That said, it’s still fun. Really fun. It’s not hard to see why it started something.

Yeah. He must be talking to a crowd that he figures can take a guess, but I wouldn’t think that such a crowd would find it very funny. A normie crowd would just have no idea wtf he means at all.

I disapprove of other people’s choices only when it negatively impacts the life of others. If sex work is legal and regulated and taxed and there is a robust social safety net, then all that’s left to disapprove of is the sex itself, which is for religious zealots, not normal people. Sex is a drive honed over hundreds of millions of years, there is literally nothing more normal.

If it has been made illegal, then I may disapprove of the laws which make it illegal (ie: we don’t disapprove of anti-trafficking laws), but if such laws are in place, I cannot approve of the illegal work, because unsavory shit comes along with it that negatively impacts other people.

Truly raw cashews are toxic. The ones you’re talking about are apparently steamed instead of roasted? Still, I had no idea they existed.

Is there some significance to the photo of the truck or is it just random?

The only fun part of a Trump dictatorship would be watching him eat the faces of the leopards. Then it would settle into a proper hellscape for the entire world though, so I think we should take a pass.

So any way you slice it, this is not a loss for Republicans, they’re getting precisely what they want here. Unintended consequences? Probably, but they’re too blinded by their belief in their own superiority to be able to imagine any.

It’s not just a convection oven, it’s a particularly small convection oven. Due to the size, the air blows faster and the heat requires less energy. It’s absolutely brilliant for certain applications and it should be recognized as such.

OMG so beautiful. And a beauty mark! I have a similar boy.

It’s worse than that even. Most of those ads are for “Medicare Advantage,” a criminal scam that Congressional members of a particular political persuasion cooked up to allow corporations to be a middleman between you and your Medicare benefits. When clueless people call and sign up because they think they’re going to get free money, they end up getting fucked out of as much of their benefits as the company can extract, up to 20% according to the rules, but who pays attention to if they play by the rules? You probably guessed it. Oh and just as a cherry on top, once you sign up, you can’t change your mind and go back, you’re off Medicare for good.

An excellent looking plate! This was our plate.
