I mean he's kinda right, but he just doesn't realize he's on the side threatening America.

No, but if he the president does have absolute immunity Biden could just have seal team 6 kill Trump and some of the justices.

Not that he would, but imagined the surprised Pikachu face on the GOP if Biden called their bullshit.

It was the cult of Kali that got things started by murdering oil executives.

Colors keeping the dark thoughts away chic.

No, no - this is the forever chemicals in your blood. The plastic in your balls will be a whole other thing!

I'm about half way through The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera. It's an interesting blend of fantasy and sci-fi and a decent read so far.

It's the latest in a long line of attempts to weaken citizen ballot initiatives in the state. It's almost like the GOP minority doesn't want the majority of citizens having a say in the legislative process. Especially when legislators repeatedly fail to meet the policy needs of citizens in Arizona.

I've been playing Palia. It's a chill MMO focused on resource gathering, NPC quests, and crafting.

In all seriousness, he could someday move to an employee and customer ownership model and give or sell shares of steam to uses. Would be an awesome fuck you to all the big corporations trying to dominate the games industry.

Ideally, you work towards an associates degree which then makes it even easier to transfer to a university. Many states have agreements between community colleges and universities where your associate's degree counts for the first 2 years of studies and all of your electives. So when you start a university you jump right into your major. However, you will have to take more than just one class at the community college.

Balls

AFIK, all the subsides for EVa in the US already require them to be made and produced domestically.

I don't think our industrialized food and unwalkable cities are mutually exclusive when it comes to obesity.

Given that abortion and legal weed will both be on the ballot in Florida this cycle, turnout could a lot different this time around.

Rather than no socks, get a pair of no-show socks. Especially if you'll be wearing them on multiple occasions where your feet will sweat, otherwise you'll probably get blisters and eventually your shoes will stink very badly.

Hit up one of the poster vendors that usually visits university campuses to get some wall decoration.

A RGB lighting strip around the roof perimeter can do wonders for setting the mod of the room.

If you have want to have people in your room to hang out, consider getting a futon instead of a bed. Won't do your back any favors, but will be more functional during the college years.

You can get a watch repair kit on Amazon that will have the tools to remove the pins between the links.

I've also had luck going to a department store with a jewelery counter and seeing if they can make adjustments. Especially if it's a brand of watch they carry, you can always say someone got it as a gift for you from that chain of stores.

I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I heard the argument made that AI maybe would be better for killing. People mess up all the time and misidentify threats which causes collateral damage in conflicts often. AI in theory could be much better at this identification process.

It's kind of the same argument with self driving cars: we freak out whenever they get in an accident, but people causing thousands of accidents a day doesn't cause an outage.

Not saying I necessarily agree with either argument, but they do make me question how we think about and evaluate technology.

Wait, is this not satire?

The impact of the death of community in modern society (at least in America) can not be understated. I wish we had comparable institutions to churches that could provide community without the religion.

Traffic enforcement and red light cameras. I used to be very opposed to them, but I've since come to appreciate the absurdity of America's car central culture.

Additionally, traffic stops by police disproportionately effect minorities and lead to escalations and other issues, while taking away enforcement capacity from more important things.

I still don't think the cameras should necessarily be run by private, for profit entities. Nor would I really want cameras that ticket you if you go 1 mph over. But in general I'm much less opposed to the idea than I used to be.

There was an interview with E Jean Carroll and her attorney and they claimed Trump had to pay it out pocket for the first defamation fine because no bond company would work with him. That was only for like $5 million.

There actually is a pretty unprecedented number of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers entering and trying to enter the country which has put a strain on border communities over the past couple of years.

Both my kids (4 and 7) use fire tablets and we have the subscription with it to get them access to lots of free apps.

I put memory cards in both, as what they come with is insufficient. The older versions we had were a little janky, but we haven't really had any issues with the current ones.

The parental controls could be better but work okay. In the kids version of the interface you don't really see ads, just app recommendations. Some of the apps still have gated content, but it hasn't really been an issue.

She's not going to beat him in the primary, however there's a not insignificant chance that Trump flames out (disqualification or conviction) and she'll be the only candidate left with some delegates and she'll default her way into the nomination.

Still a mystery, why the Randa children are annoying indecisive little twats.

Beware the touch attack on that monster.

Cut way down on alcohol. I was never a heavy drinker, but still 2-3 beers a day adds up and takes a toll on your body. Now I only drink on special occasions or socially, and minimally at that.

Similarly, stop drinking energy drinks and soda on all but rare occasions. My acid reflux vanished after I cut out energy drinks.

The wild thing is that it was two very conservative Federalist lawyers who wrote the initial article (based on originalism) putting out the theory that Trump should be disqualified.

Further, the amendment specifically lays out Congress's role: they can, with 2/3rds vote, remove the imposed disqualification disability.

Ezra Klein had a great podcast on this awhile back.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in like 20 years. It occurs to me I still remember my old ICQ number, 3939036 (I think).

The lack of in-person community in modern American life has a profound and far reaching impact that I think many people fail to appreciate.

Thanks for the recommendation. I was wondering what else to try as I sure as hell don't want to use YouTube and it doesn't seem like you can have a separate podcast playlist in Spotify.

Our monthly game with another family hasn't met since September due to cancellations from sickness. With the holidays, we're not even trying again until January 😞

I would add a progressively higher tax rate for each property beyond 2-3.

There are so many things these days which co-opt and diminish our ability to pay attention and focus, it wouldn't be all that surprising if it's also affecting memory.

The book Stolen Focus goes into these issues, but diet, air pollution, smart phones, social media, and instant gratification tired to consumerism all diminish our ability to focus.

Go for a walk, longer is better but even 20 minutes will help.

Eat fermented foods and plenty of fiber to keep your gut micro biome happy. There's increasing evidence that your gut health impacts your mental health.

No.

Yikes, good luck Argentina.

I'm so skeptical of companies, that I almost instinctively distrust any company which directly advertises to me. I would be doubly so if that ad came soon after discussing a need.

Trump already lost the civil case, the judge found him guilty of fraud. Everything in the case now is just about damages and penalties.
