The primaries have already happened and Biden soundly won them. How exactly do you see a replacement being selected?

The problem with any scoring style system is that there is no answer for when a person gives 2 finalists the same score. They want to vote, but the system did not gather enough information to know where to allocate it.

No, no they don't. Those people jumped ship after Jan 6. The only people left backing Trump are the insane religious cultists and racists that want to turn the country into a theocracy and purge anyone not white, straight and Christian.

Of course they are. They literally allow you to ignore all of the most difficult game mechanics. With a great shield you literally never need to time dodges. As a mage, you can easily do ranged damage, so you don't need to time your attacks or worry about positioning. Using a summon means the boss doesn't even attack you half the time, and some of them are so powerful that they can beat many bosses on their own.

It's actually a far better difficulty system than the standard "the game mechanics are the same, but enemies do less damage and have less health" system that most games use.

It has difficulty options. They're just not in a menu. If you want to play on hard mode, use fist weapons and never summon. If you want easy mode, be a mage carrying a great shield and summon every fight.

Was it supposed to be funny? I thought the joke was that he was a terrible hackneyed comedian.

Microsoft has always been like this. They're a giant company with a bunch of silos that act independently and often undermine what each other are trying to accomplish.

Tons of people. I doubt BG3 would have succeeded if it wasn't so unabashedly horny.

Just break them up. If they're able to raise prices above inflation, then they are by definition a cartel. We already have a law on the books for this. It just needs to be used.

There's generally an inverse relationship between contagiousness and deadlines. By the time it mutates enough to spread between people, it's unlikely it'll be much worse than COVID.

Unlikely. The COVID lockdowns only decreased carbon emissions ~8%.

It's relevant because Trump owns a majority of the stock but can't sell any of it until August. If the price craters before then, he won't be able to use it to fund his campaign.
