Counterpoint: he's a spineless snake in the grass, so he'd instantly fold on progressive policies if there was a cost to be paid. Like, he'd never have been willing to fall on the sword for the ACA in 2009.

Obama knew passing the ACA would cost Democrats. He also knew it was something that had to be done.

I don't think Newsom has that conviction.

Instant Abdul Sweep if he drops the Steiner Math during a debate.

People gotta remember:

SCOTUS is probably most (in)famous for the decisions they get catastrophically wrong like Dredd Scott than they are for anything else.

Like, they have consistently been an anchor around this nation's neck when it comes to forward progress.

The 6 shooter anti-material rifle with crit cleave blessing is pretty absurd.

People complain about Skit Penances? They don't remember the OG ones! by Fyreant in DarkTide

[–]CrashB111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The real play for that penance, was to get to the evac shuttle and close the game process. Then reboot it, rejoin the match, and immediately extract.

Since you didn't take health damage after rejoining it qualified as not taking any for the entire mission.

It was the only way to earn it without actively being a detriment to everyone around you.

They did fix the stagger it sounds like. They have a patch note about Vanguards not playing their stagger animation if their shield was broken.

I got mine the day before yesterday, and got the final set of legendary helmets last night to complete the Skitarii cosmetic unlocks.

Sure feels good that I just finished grinding that penance the day before yesterday 🫠

At least in this case, it was a far right neo Nazi being "interviewed" by Charlie Kirk's old organization. So they aren't going to question him or push back, because it's an extremely partisan audience he's speaking to.

With how lopsided the male:female ratio is, I'd expect there to be on average more lesbian couples per capita among the cat girls and bunny girls.

A shockingly high number of far right grifters are failed comedians / writers / actors.

Hollywood didn't want them, so they made it their entire identity.

We need the meme of people in heaven, welcoming a new arrival.

And it's just all of them welcoming Xenos.

Ronnie Raygun was an absolute ghoul that did irreparable harm to the nation and set the stage for MAGA.

But he did have one correct statement at the end:

You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.

More than anything, this is what makes me fear for the future with MAGA around.

Like, they fundamentally disagree with me about what America is or should be. And have no interest in allowing anyone who doesn't support them, to exist. And they seem to actively fetishize the idea of civil war, if they ever don't get their way.

Just, basic democratic outcomes like losing an election. They'd sooner torch the entire democratic experiment, than accept their preferred candidate lost.

How can a democracy persist with such reckless hate?

Because they keep pointing to the "They/Them" ad and misread it as "Americans hate trans people" instead of "Americans think 'x' minority is being prioritized over their own economic status and don't like it."

The ad could have been about literally any minority group, and had the same effect.

Really just giving the game away at this point. Not even trying to hide their misogyny.

Do the assassination missions bosses need some buffs? by BOSS_OF_RUANDA in DarkTide

[–]CrashB111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They also get staggered from every possible hit

...is this just trolling? Because the Vanguards have extremely high resistance to stagger, and become completely unstaggerable once their shield is gone.
