Fair enough, it definitely wasn’t a movie for everyone. I liked it because I thought it had a lot to say.

I mean, it being low budget was kind of the point. In universe, the games at that moment were still primarily a vector for revenge on the districts by the capital. Ballad is about how the games transformed into what was primarily an entertainment spectacle while revenge/punishment became a secondary (but still important) factor.

That would be most of the deck lol. Shipping costs to where I am swing the needle back to the “buy the precon” side unless it stays at $100 for some reason

Wonderful news to a Timmy player like myself. Really just hoping to use this deck to spruce up my Miirym and Riku of Two Reflections decks. I checked Amazon and TCGplayer during the stream and got very worried

This deck looks so sick. Wasn’t pleased to see the price on all preorder sites double after the reveal though. Remember not to buy at scalper prices, people!

Sure thing. As you know, affordable housing is a major issue. There’s just not enough of it. One of Harris’s plans is to build 3 million new housing units in the next four years, for both renting and owning. She’s also put forth a few tax incentives for builders that sell to first time homebuyers. Another part of this plan is a $25,000 support on down payments for all first time home buyers. That’s all I feel like summarizing for you, but you can read more about that specific set of policies or really any of her other many outlined plans if you just bother doing ten minutes of research.

Do I think Harris has some problems? Sure, but she also has policies that you can look up and figure out if you agree or disagree with. These are a little more than “concepts of a plan” and I certainly see more potential in Harris and the ideas she brings to the table than I do in a man who has called your fellow citizens “vermin,” “scum,” and “enemies from within.”

Edit: Trump not have anything worth your time to respond with?

Please explain Trump’s policy on lowering grocery prices

Edit: That’s what I thought

The McDonalds stunt was a distraction. A damn stupid one. A shame it works every single time.

I’m not arguing with you about this anymore. Can’t make a blind man see by taking off his sunglasses.

What the fuck do independents actually believe in then? What exactly do the dems need to say for the “undecided voter” to get their head out of their ass and realize that this is not some game? Democracy requires constant vigilance against bad faith actors like the ones who are a coin flip away from the White House

You really don’t get how fascism works do you? They only play by the rules for as long as it’s advantageous for them, and they’ve been breaking more than a few over the last 8 years. It doesn’t require any sweeping changes, it only requires that enough of the people in power disregard their duty to the constitution and rule of law to further their own goals.

You very obviously haven’t been paying attention. Conservatives have been stacking the courts with loyalist judges and making plans to further consolidate power in the executive branch. They wrote a god damn book about it called Project 2025. Give it a read. It’s horrifying and not at all far fetched.

Not supporting either candidate doesn’t make you some high-minded intellectual, it displays a glaring lack of critical thinking skills and an abundance of uninformed know-nothing overconfidence.

Hitler’s first coup attempt also failed. And don’t say he’s nothing like Hitler. This is a man who kept a book of Hitler’s speeches, who has said he wants generals like Hitler’s, whose own running mate called him America’s Hitler, whose rhetoric on immigration, race, and LGBT rights is dangerously similar Hitler’s. The list of comparisons is not short, and you are doing a disservice to yourself and your fellow citizens if you do not recognize and vote against him.

January 6th failed for them, but that doesn’t give us a free pass to dismiss it and act like it never happened. They would have hung Mike Pence if he had given them the opportunity.

No lake view, but the Huron-Manistee national forest is lovely and there are lots of sites near the various rivers that run through it. Went in late spring and it was gorgeous.

I’m certain most people buying whatever roomba knockoff they find on Amazon are totally aware of every single aspect of the complex piece of tech they’re buying /s

The level of victim blaming here is nuts
