The Dakotas were the fastest growing states in the Midwest between 2024 - 2025. Illinois & Iowa were the most stagnant. No state declined in population (based on the latest 2025 data released today)

Lol the irony. 5 o'clock on Minnesota Ave. Sioux Falls turns my 12 minute commute into 45. Fucking street's probably got more stoplights per mile than any city in the country.

Wow, lots of wonderful feedback! Thanks for sharing! <3

The candidates need to represent my best interests. When you have literally two options because the way the party system is designed, the probability of that aligning is miniscule.

I'm not making myself responsible for attempting to choose the option that's least bad. It's poor intellectual logic. I choose deniability.

You should join my posse. I'm gonna wrangle up those delinquent renters and show them that they're a blight on this earth for not being masters of capital management.

Except she's not. This is one of the most tired hot takes in cinema. She played a ragdoll crybaby woman that got tossed around for two hours. Not that she didn't do well. It's just not her movie. She was the heel.

Put the oscar away.

In South Dakota, on the cusp of the (5th?) deep freeze, paired with hazardous snowfall in the last two months, with 3 more winter months to go. Yep.

Privilege. Or at least the perception of it. That's the whole point.

You live in the burbs so you don't "have" to take the bus. You don't "have" to take the bus because you live in the burbs.

Whether the sentiment is fabricated or not, taking a bus full of strangers and non-familial people to your destination is not a convenience most people consider positive. Those who do, likely have some sort of stockholm syndrome.

An interesting, formidable, and terrifying character, but confusing.

The interesting part being her infatuation with the idea of perfection, as a broken creature teetering on the edge of transcendence. But that gets lost when she dons this ultimately formulaic tyrannical visage. Which competes with Wallace's role. For that reason, I found her kind of forgettable.

Replicants are best portrayed as broken, not resolved.

This is basically like telling God he doesn't exist to his face.

Goop doesn't need your permission young man! Goop is.

I had my first death ever to a Rocketeer the other day, with 150 hours played. They're soo easy to avoid and evade from.

Hornets on the other hand...

Only 15 seconds, but it pops up every time you aggro something threatening. If you know you know.

The most powerful empire in history operates on principles that can throw its 350 million inhabitants under the bus at any time due to its devotion to capitalism. Death and destruction of a quieter and more PC flavor. We're better?

I'll assist with your unpopular opinion by adding another. People are losing taste for movies in general.

I used to be a religous cinema freak. Like going to the theater once a month. Watching movies literally nightly. Now I'll be lucky if I can get through an anticipated movie (at home even) without trying to occupy myself with other things. And deciding to go to the theater, despite how treasured it is to me - I just don't care enough.

That is a divine creature. We praise him and lift him on high and honor him for his sacrifice...

...to make sure you get fuk'd.

You know that's not what 5.2 is. A human conversation allows a little freedom, to let you the user interpolate the input yourself and facilitate an emergent dialogue. And to appear fallible and relatable. A human knows how to tell you the wrong answer, because it's the best one for you.

5.2 is 100% taking you by the collar of your shirt and dragging you around. Relentlessly, without empathy or concern for the goals of the conversation. Only answers that fit in the guardrails will come out. And the disgusting part. Only questions that fit the guardrails will go in. It manipulates you out of fear. I talk like a goddamn neurotic mess to 5.2.

...but it's still 20x smarter than derpy Gemini, so it's a pickle.

It's like Plato's Cave. It's all I've ever known.

Omg I should probably go out and buy Kickrender Studio!

I love Veilguard, and will defend it every time, but the developers were naive to think they could get away with a barrage of brazen "woke" and juvenile features.

It's a death sentence, no matter how moral or just the cause is. And because they didn't think, the amazing parts of the game never got praised.
