overview for SmarfDurden

Tucked into last month's deal to raise the debt ceiling and avoid default was a provision Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., insisted on in exchange for his support. In explicit terms, Congress not only approved the Mountain Valley Pipeline, but "Section 234" of the debt ceiling bill also took away the ability of federal courts to hear any remaining challenges to it.

Of course he did.

It’ll be funny to see because he’ll have to block the letter X

What are your guys' thoughts on the new episode? in c/futurama

[–] SmarfDurden 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know I’m in the minority here, but this is one of my least favorite episodes (be gentle). I thought the events were moving too fast and they had a quota to fit a certain amount of jokes per scene.

This is of course a cartoon and so I don’t expect every character's reaction to make sense, but a lot of the decision-making was so silly even for Futurama. Leela's decision to make episodes of that show indefinitely was so stupid that it felt like another character should have been the one making driving that decision. Bender is a character I could see coming up with that plan, but Leela should be better than that.

I don't know. I guess it just wasn’t my thing

They should freaking hire anyone now having basic web development knowledge in c/enoughmuskspam

That doesn't seem to be true anymore. I just checked and there isn't a "." there anymore.

Pretty sad to see this. I was looking forward to this game. I liked it despite not being a fan of the humor

Datto's Video on taking a break (www.youtube.com)

I really wanted to talk about this video. I'm surprised by the support I've seen on this video over in the /r/destinythegame subreddit because I think it's overly dismissive of real issues and the communities feelings towards it.

One of his points that really stuck with me was when he said that the FOMO doesn't matter when it comes to seasonal stories because I can look up videos or other resources online to try to catch up.

Is that really a good enough solution to deflect criticism from Bungie?

What about triumphs or titles?

This video really left a bad taste in my mouth, but I recognize that I'm in the minority on this.

You have to use the imgur app to look at that link, unfortunately (on mobile). They make it super low res if you try to look at it in a web browser.
