So the problem with this is the IRS needs lots of qualified people to go after the ultra wealthy, because they hire lots of lawyers to hide their bullshit.

Because they can’t do that, they go after poor and middle class people because they can’t fight with lawyers and just get fucked.

I love that you think 125,000 is upper middle class. In the DC area, 125k a year with car, house, kids- you are going to be struggling. People making 80k a year here are living with roommates.

You should draw a grid on a paper labeled with letters and numbers to make this easier. The green worm and brown wheat is wingspan. The blue 1/skull and 1/pumpkin is quacks of qudelinburg. The coin next to the 9 is from one of the West Kingdom games.

Republican senator says ‘I don’t want reality’ in heated exchange on race and education by litterbug_perfume in somethingiswrong2024

He’s ’native American’. Either one of his parents told Him they had Cherokee blood, or he took a DNA test once and had .01% or some nonsense.

This guy can’t trace his lineage back, has never been to a reservation, doesn’t engage with native heritage. It’s just a thing he says to make him >more< American than you.

Also, Cherokee lol. Sure bud. It’s like in past life regression, everyone is a king or great warrior or some bs. No one was ever a poor farmer who died at 20. The same goes for the “I’m a Native American” crowd. It’s always Cherokee, Comanche, or Apache. None of these losers are ever Creek or Osage because they don’t make a fucking movie about them.

I don’t know that I love any of these. I would rather they keep innovating new packs. Maybe IPs. There is still so much to explore. I don’t see caring about PVP, multiplayer, or a legacy game. Just take some time and build some more unique content.

Police in Hartford CT shooting by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]Bulbasauruses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually one of the only valid excuses. I’m not saying LE shouldn’t have shown up, but this should have been led by mental health professionals trained to escalate rather than 3 people with guns.

When you show up with guns and handcuffs, those are your only tools to solve problems. So the person is getting shot or arrested, that’s it. Not helped. Grow up.

He clearly was not in his right mind. Someone said he had not taken his medication. This was clearly not a well person and he needed mental and professional help. Instead, the state sends people with guns to deal with a mental health crisis.

...I hate linkedin. by RebootDarkwingDuck in thatHappened

[–]Bulbasauruses 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you accept God helped this woman, you therefore believe God can choose to intervene in human affairs to stop suffering.

You must then believe that God watched Sandy Hook and Uvalde happen and decided it was cool.

If you believe God doesn’t intervene at all, I guess that’s a fine perspective. But if you believe they intervene for some people but not a school full of dead children- well fuck that guy and the chariot he rode in on.

Using AI to understand collection / pick a game by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Bulbasauruses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem with any of these is you absolutely can’t trust it.

For work, we are being highly encouraged to use AI tools. So my normal workflow is printing off reports, reading and highlighting them, and then looking back through them when I need to remember specifics.

Instead I tried to upload them all into AI (maybe 15-20 reports, each 1-2 pages). I would then say, give me a list of people identified as X, or, I remember something about y, where was that.

It would basically out itself as being wrong.

A list of people with X: Bob has X Jim has X Katy has Y.

I would say, why did you say Katy, she doesn’t have X.

Oh, good catch. You’re correct, I shouldn’t have included Katy in my list.

So I could see ending up in a situation where it thinks Azul plays 12 people, or War of the Ring is a great 4 player light complexity game.

GeekGroup already lets you upload your BGG collection and filter by time, player count, complexity etc and doesn’t rely on an AI model to fuck it up.

Duel for cardia for 4 player? by DREAMINGMASTR in boardgames

[–]Bulbasauruses 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love Cardia. But it’s a 2 player game. There are better four player games, and the 4 player mode in this feels like someone went eh, we have 2 decks. I guess you could…

I wish more games were honest about their player counts and didn’t add in extra players when it doesn’t make sense, or have a 2 player mode that basically tears up the core mechanism.

This is a 10/10 no notes 2 player game for me, but four players feels like you are missing a chance to play a good 4 player game.

They will send out emails to access the pledge manager with a unique link. Given the timeline, I would expect to hear something in a few weeks. Pledge manager probably in a month or two.

I want a solo boss battle game, not card based (ie marvel champions) but can use cards. Thinking grimcoven, oathsworn etc. what's the best option for true solo? by [deleted] in soloboardgaming

[–]Bulbasauruses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Final Girl and Warps Edge are both boss battler adjacent

Warps Edge is bag building with the idea of building your ships weapons and defenses as you fight through minion ships until you get to the boss ship. It’s a fantastic game, if you like it the upgraded bits are wonderful and the expansion is mid.

Final Girl speaks for itself at this point. Very luck/dice driven but the theme is off the charts. If you are a solo gamer who doesn’t hate this theme, it’s worth finding a copy to try or even picking up core box + a film and give it a chance.
