I'm going to celebrate while I can, Trump will always pick someone worse. It doesn't matter who sinks them or why.
We learned that supporting the lesser evil is no longer an option with this last election. Maybe it's time we stood up for what's right and not what's close enough.
Scaramucci actually got the job, so it's probably negative Scaramucci's
He held the nomination for .8 Scaramuccis, and was fired 6.2 Scaramuccis before his earliest possible hire date.
Edit: Did Scaramucci math
I'm not opposed to the release of hostages, I think it's a stupid reason to veto a ceasefire meant to end famine.
You're so right, a terrorist organization kidnapped civilians after launching a single day invasion via hang glider.
Better not hold the nation state with jet powered aircraft and tanks waging a 400 day invasion to a higher standard than the common terrorist.
Stop putting words in other people's mouths.
The ceasefire is about widescale collective punishment of a population that is half children resulting in famine and genocide. My point is the Biden administration could do the right thing for once instead of enabling it until the bitter end.
What absolute pieces of shit. Can't even bother to do the right thing when it doesn't even matter anymore.
This headline is barely even about the article. The blurb provides enough context to know what the content is about atleast.
But apparently most links on social media don't even do that.
It's accidentally proving its point, much like that meme where the paper on the inaccessibility of science is being denied by a paywall.
He wouldn't do drugs, he's clearly just tasting the pocket sand. /s
I recognize your truth.
I just can't comprehend it. Even Mario Party has strategies to manipulate the RNG in your favor.
Bonus stars come from a set of categories, and it picks so many at random to award. But you can play to win as many categories as possible to maximize your chance at bonus stars.
The dice rolls are solvable, to minimize your chance of getting bad spaces. Sure you can't always avoid a bad space, but if space x ahead of you is bad, and you have dice that can't roll that number, pick those dice. Or if all your dice can roll that number, pick the one least likely to do so.
I've consistently been a 800-1100 level player since I first learned to play the game in 4th grade. Noone in my family cared about being good at chess, and as an adult I had other games I rather get good at.
And as a result I mostly play 800 elo and below family members and I'm happy to lose to any friends who are better. The amount of study and months of practice to catch up is unappealing, I just call them a giant fucking nerd and we go play melee.
But a 500 v 500 elo chessgame is mind boggling to me, they appear to have a tenious grip on the rules, and a fractured understanding of cause and effect.
Oh look, the obvious consequences of releasing a tool built on stolen work being used to steal other people's work.
Season 1 was so good, and I love that they're incorporating the growing dice from Never Stop Bloeing Up, based on the BTS commentary.
I've made it my mission to get banned from NextDoor while trolling the MagaHats. They won't stop sending me notifications. I've been stealing memes from the https://lemmy.world/c/shermanposting group.
So far I'm more or less been allowed to run rampant, so here are some of the hits.
The average brain weighs 1300-1400 grams. If 0.5% of that is plastic by weight, your brain contains 6.5 - 7 grams of plastic. The average plastic credit card weighs 5 grams.

Hello internet strangers.
I wish to discuss what we did this season. Everywhere is on if snow conditions allow and the temp outside is 75°F with rain in the forcast for 2 days this week, I don't think this weekend is happening for me.
My very first and second outing I've posted about already. But someone corrected me about carving and I've since learned just how hard carving is and it was not just parallel skiing like I thought it was. (This might be the first time I've Dunning-Kruegared myself that hard)
I did make it to Caberfea for Presidents Day weekend and stayed at the Lost Pines Lodge, which is a very cool and very rustic motel just 3 miles from the ski hill. It's the kind of place you have to call via phone to reserve. They had a very happening bar for snowmobilers. I went with my friend who taught me skiing.
The first day there was tons of fresh powder and I had a great time. I ended up doing funnel cake and starky several times. We skiied for like 8hrs that day. They were also the longest runs I had done so far.
Towards the end of the day I fell several times on my last run due to flat light. That was the first time I had encountered that. It was not fun at all. It didn't help that my glasses kept fogging inside my visor. Does anyone have any tips for that?
The next day we took the day easy and ended up heading over around 4 pm for their late day prices and some night skiing. After the sun set the snow got very icy and fast but it was a great time. I ended up just rushing down funnel cake and got to some pretty intense speeds (at least it felt that way to me) trying to get used to higher speeds. I got tired after about 4 hours and got drunk on some cider. It was great.
I never worked up the nerve to do upper canyon, which would have opened up a lot of terrain for me. I'll get it next time. Also I love the layout of Caberfea, it felt really cool knowing I couldn't accidentally get on trails that I wasn't ready for or accidentally take a lift I couldn't ski down from. Of the two ski areas I've been, it's my favorite.
My final trip I ended up taking my kid back to Perfect North, they did some group lessons, we never made it onto any ski lifts but I did ski the bunny hill backwards, which was fun. I think they'll be ready for ski lifts first trip next year.
I'm hoping be good enough to hit Mt. Bohemia within the next five years, but we'll see.
What did you all do?
What was your favorite ski area you went to?
What's your 5 year skiing goal? .
A friend of mine invited me to go skiing, and I decided to go. It was very fun and I may have a new obsession. I'm probably going to go atleast 2 more times this year and just rent.
Hopefully, Ill be able to save enough to get my own gear and a season pass at a independent place nearish to me.
I was doing the shorter blue runs by the end of the day, because my friend was pretty good teacher, but what are some good resources to learning skiing techniques, and what's the best way to get discount gear?
Metric Mooches, the most disgraceful measurement of time.
