I really hope app-based 3rd party food delivery just dies soon. The incentives are so fucked up and at cross purposes between the customers, companies, restaurants, and drivers. Like literally no one is getting a good deal out of it except the app itself. Support places that actually want to deliver enough to have their own drivers, and you'll almost always have a smoother, faster, and more professional experience.

I get what you're saying, but I think the whole idea that if you actually want your point-to-point delivery, which is the service you paid for, you're making the driver "go out of their way" is the whole weird debate people in the thread are having. Like, the service is the service, or at least it should be, if it's making doordash "go out of their way" to dash ya know, to my door...well that's not the expectation these companies set with their customers I guess is all I have to say there.

Finally one guy is coming kinda close to saying what all Republicans should have been saying since 2016, and it's somehow news. Christie and MAGA can both go get fucked, you're way too late and many dollars short to suddenly rebrand as the principled one you angry tub of mayo.

Make sure to show him your love by not voting for him on election day then, just like he told you!

Whew boy, the boogaloo and the kraken would like a word lads

It got "Slammed"

Wow I wish there was some penalty for lawyers who deliberately made statements with this much bad faith. First off it's State vs. Federal, so fuck off. Then we're talking breaking into a building to prevent Congress from doing it's job, while assaulting federal law enforcement, versus non-violent document, election, and conspiracy charges, so fuck off again. And by far most important, we're talking about know-nothing foot soldiers who committed blatant federal felonies and had nothing to bargain with, vs Sidney the Goddamn Kraken Powell who must have hard evidence by the boatload that she forked over to score this deal, and who can directly testify about Trump's words and actions and meetings she was in. There's no comparison here, no equivalence, and these J6 defense lawyers trying to gin one up is just offensive.

Oh they will absolutely bring the hammer down if she doesn't do and say everything by the book from this point forward, that's the point of a plea deal. It gets the defendant out of (most of the) trouble, but it locks them in to testifying fully and truthfully about the case from then on. If the prosecutor/judge thinks they aren't holding up that promise, the deal is taken away. You really do have to go full state's evidence if you take a deal like this, and they are not playing around with the threat of piling all those felony charges - and more - right back on you if you don't sing just the way the DOJ wants you to.

I don't see why they'd need to occupy anything. Occupation would imply that you wanted to control that area and those people. I think Israel knows occupation would never work and wouldn't try it. They've preferred to wall-off people in enclaves, slowly squeeze all life out of those regions, and when the people they have cornered inevitably violently lash out against their own slow-motion genocide, it's time to flatten the area with bombs again. Israel calls it "mowing the grass" and I don't think a massive occupation fits with that strategy. I think they want to break the region, scatter the people, and leave it to rot, not occupy and be forced to manage it into the future indefinitely.

That music was the point for me where I truly felt like, holy shit, the people who made this game really care, maybe way too much lol. Like guys, you didn't have to make it this awesome and funny and 4th wall breaking. It was just pure optional silliness but pulled off with such professionalism and dedication.

I also love the subtle nods throughout the game that the devils have some kind of understanding that the events in their world are a game, and that the player exists and is controlling the PCs. Having Raphael sing his own boastful bossfight theme music, about "plays" "acts" "effects and cause" etc is just peak developer cheekiness and I can never get enough of that kind of thing.

I don't disagree, it's just nice to see my country pushing for any tiny amount of adherence to international laws in this specific case and I hope we see more of it.

The US stands with Israel, but we aren't going to stand by while they commit war crimes. Good on the Biden administration for forcing this course correction. I hope to keep seeing more and stronger evidence of our commitment to human rights and the international order during this war.
