If you have gamepass it's fine for a 20 some hour play thru.

But I wouldn't recommend anyone spend money on it, it's probably going to get huge discounts soon.

I've been saying it since the beginning when Trudeau tried to appease trump...

Mexico and Canada need to stand together and hit trump first.

America can get by with one or the other, but not without both. And both countries can get by without us.

That's why trump immediately tried to divide them. Mexico stood firm, so trump then picked on the weak one who publicly caved.

I still have no idea how Trudeau fell for it, but I've never been a fan of his.

contraceptive and abortifacient.

The main reason it went extinct...

And what it was actually effective at. But the best way to convince a male dominated society that was important to make accessible was to convince them it made women horny.

When it just freed them of potentially serious consequences, like, a shit ton of women died a n childbirth until very recently. A one night stand could leave a women dead or shunned from her family with no source of income and a baby.

Reliable birth control would have been an absolute game changer.

The party is a dictatorship where the chair has final say on almost everything and zero accountability to anyone.

Luckily we got a decent chair now.

We 100% need to change how that's set up, but the party just took his biggest step left in 30 years.

Ken Martin doesn't push progressive policy per say, but he gives voters want they want, and they want progressive policy from charismatic candidates. Just not standing in the way of voters would have beat trump last election.

We don't need a whole lot more from the party.

The whole point of the antichrist is they rise to power by exploiting Christians and their faith...

Like, everything about the two line up that I'm starting to think trump is literally using the myth as a blueprint. Like, at some point someone told him about it, and his first and only thought was:

I bet they're dumb enough to really fall for that

Democrats are fascists with a BLM sticker and a rainbow flag, and they’re busy scraping off the rainbow flag.

A lot of them are like that, but not enough aren't.

Which is why we need to get dirty money out of Dem primaries, regardless of what Nancy Pelosi says.

To paraphrase Kendrick:

Few solid Dems left, but it's not enough

They’re finding issue with mtf athletes playing against a league of individuals who didn’t go through puberty as a male.

Good news! Puberty blockers exist and have been studied and used for literal decades for other reasons.

That’s clearly an advantage, and to say otherwise is to ignore science altogether.

The science says 2-3 years of hormone therapy levels the playing field and there's no more advantage.

In fact, women who haven't transitioned often have an advantage because their testosterone levels can be higher than women who have transitioned.

And that's the crux of the issue: human variation.

What did avowed do wrong?

That's what I'm talking about...

It's not that they do anything wrong, it's that the don't do anything well.

It was less an RPG and more just a fps shooter with the same bare minimum of RPG elements as every other fps shooter.

The biggest games are the blandest because they're trying to appeal to everyone. But even people not into RPGs can like a good rpg. Which is why BG3 and ~~CK2~~ KCD2 are so popular.

Big studios aren't underestimating their audience, they're just counting on video game enthusiasts buying every major game.

I ran thru it on game pass, and it was alright, but I was kind of just going thru the motions. So I said "terrible" but I meant it was terrible at being a big budget triple A RPG.

It felt like a generic fps from 20 years ago, the only flavor was from existing IP pasted over it.

Hey, I got an idea...

Let's threaten one of the top legal schools in the country with an unconstitutional demand!

Surely this won't end in a lawsuit

Member when the neoliberals tried to pretend this douche would be the next presidential pick?

The worst part about neoli erals is places solid blue like Cali get conservative leaders because they'll take dirty money in primaries, then the only option is a Republican.

It depresses turnout till a Republican wins, and that usually comes with the state flipping in an election year because that's when campaigning is highest.

It's not just that they're shitty people who won't fix anything, they're actively hurting dem turnout all over the country when it hits the news

We need higher standards across the board, not just in the oval.

Avowed was pretty terrible too.

The problem with AAA games is they're trying to make a game everyone likes, compromises on everything, and ends up with something no one likes.

BG3 and CK2 tho set out to make great RPGs and had faith people wanted great RPGs.

Its not a black and white thing

Then why did you say:

even if he could he would lose the votes of people like me who want a democracy. I would not be ok with this

You said a president doing this would be unacceptable and lots of people, such as yourself, wouldn't have voted for Biden if he did it...

I informed you that he did it.

So now it's stopped being a black and white thing like you said.

Suddenly, there's shades of grey and it's 100% fine with you that Biden did the thing that you said would be unacceptable.

There's zero logical consistency, so this is the last time you'll ever hear from me.

Vest Patches? (self.socialistra)
 

So after the last couple years of seeing how protests get treated based on how much larping they're doing, I bought some plates and a carrier.

I'm fully aware the only thing it does is stop me from dying immediately from a body shot, and only covers like 10% of me.

But the only reason I got it was because cops have been showing for decades they won't start violence against protesters when even just a few are plated up and holding a rifle. And I got a feeling there's gonna be some protests again.

My issue is I look like a nazi's wet dream even when I'm not geared up, and it's not like someone can read a Tshirt under a plate carrier.

I wanted to grab some patches from SRA, but all they sell is stickers, and Etsy just has vague slogan patches you wouldn't be able to read from five feet away.

I did see some links where the reddit sub had been doing mass patch orders over the years. Is there any community not on the big social media doing the same?

Or any other methods to show you're an ally besides just facing the right way?

I'm also a little hesitant to slap something like an antifa rose on because I can't see trump not declaring them a terrorist group at some point.

 

Somewhat satire, somewhat actual investigation.

Pretty much same vibes as the Daily Show

 

But Gemma is dead.

I think the car accident left Gemma either braindead or with serious brain damage. She's not really "severed" like the main characters, or possibly when not she goes back into a coma. But the Gemma who was married to Mark is gone for good. This season will be about finding that out.

Then season 3 (just began filming) will have Ms Casey becoming her own person while Mark and Hella ride off into the sunset.
