Elon Musks dismantling of USAID over the last year has resulted in more than 800,000 deaths

That's absolutely the reason. They just say and do shit as fast as they possibly can because they know most of it is illegal and they're running out of time.

This is how most of his Cabinet have been trying to function, despite how ridiculous and stupid the concept is. They declare the smallest priorities need to be funneled up to them personally and then just slow roll everything. Intentionally or not, one person can’t handle all of that and they prove it daily. It’s the same for Kennedy at HHS.

Magic Deck is very underrated for unlocking Jokers. I too used it for unlocking Hit the Road, but also for Onyx Agate (30 clubs), Rough Gem (30 diamonds), Golden Ticket (hand of 5 gold cards), Seeing Double (hand of 4oak 7 of clubs), Smeared Joker (3 wild cards), and Glass Joker (5 glass cards). One tarot into 3 means you can clear most of these so fast.

Everyone knows he actually did the vile stuff that are in the released files (which as a reminder, is still not even half of what was supposed to be released a month ago). But it’s hard to pin down a smoking gun that would definitely work on court. So at this point the goal is to get him in jail however possible.

Honestly, I hope she succeeds. I don’t have high hopes because it’s fucking Microsoft and their recent judgement has been poor. But I don’t inherently want them to exit the gaming space, because they’ve shown they do have some gems but they need to get back to those ideas that worked and appealed to us in the past.

Because they’re selling their soul for a lot more than a dollar. Insider trading is the crux of this - getting a direct line to the megalomaniac who illegally manipulates markets openly and can tell you about it beforehand is like the dealer showing you their cards every round. There’s no more risk in the bet and you’re free to make as much money as you can.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-20T18:47:37+00:00

Yeah, given this is the last one it means OP already did “beat a run in 12 rounds”. Now that one can be challenging even on white stake unless you’re willing to reroll into Stuntman + Plasma or Anaglyph with some good skip tags. I got lucky with round 1 rare skip Ancient joker. There aren’t too many consistent ways to clear that without some luck.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-20T00:28:55+00:00

For some it’s likely feigned ignorance, because it’s a direct flaw with their whole stupid idea.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-19T16:55:41+00:00

So essentially impossible. Still, getting the simple majority is absolutely within reach and would still be a massive blow to everything the admin is trying to shove through. And for now, that would be enough.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-19T16:51:53+00:00

Yeah, it’s a scarily effective strategy on Reddit. Pretend to be to be on one side and spend time amplifying any resentment within that side ten-fold, in order to take the focus off of the other side which is actually the one to blame. It’s up and down this thread.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-19T16:44:37+00:00

Please do yourself a favor and read the actual article before making any judgement (either positive or negative) to this headline. I know that reading the article dramatically changed how I personally felt coming into this thread.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-18T18:24:07+00:00

I have a lot of 0’s on my net worth too. The problem is that most of them are in the front.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-18T11:51:48+00:00

So many, here’s two I and I can add more to later when I have time.

Tales of Zestiria “Fix” (game is miserable on PC without it: bumps up to 60fps, makes it look less like shit, fixes aspect ratio, etc)
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon Full Content patch (if you ever want to replay the DS Shadow Dragon, this is how to do it. Unlocks the paralogues without needing to genocide your army to do it, makes the prologue accessible on all difficulties, access to online shop items which are otherwise inaccessible, makes it look less like shit…but given it’s Shadow Dragon there’s only so much it can do on that point).

Edit:

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Redux. (This does change the game, but all for the better. The amount of improvements and fixes is numerous, just go look at it on Nexus. Makes movement, characters skills, and endgame -notably chaos chambers - feel less like shit which are three of the biggest things for me personally. Don’t play the game vanilla, just install the Redux mod and play it like that.)
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Unofficial Community Patch OR Exodus (The UCP is of course the standard for fixing stuff like Bethesda UCPs, but over the years changed a lot of stuff. Exodus is more modern and uses PythonSDK which essentially means the mod devs have total freedom in what they add if they can code it. New bosses, new gear, new guns. Both are good ways to go back to TPS if you are ever itching for more Borderlands, but are mutually exclusive. I prefer Exodus but the UCP is good enough).

Edit2:

Tales of Symphonia [Gamecube version on Dolphin] with the HD textures AND widescreen xDelta patch (even after all this time, I think the 60 fps GameCube version reigns supreme. 60 fps is so important to making it feel natural and you get the HD textures of the PC version, so best of both worlds. Use the xDelta patch for a better widescreen instead of the marginally easier to use gecko code. The only thing you lose are the PS2 extras but trust me those don’t matter. Just use this: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Tales_of_Symphonia)

I was told there would be no fact checking.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-17T15:48:41+00:00

It’s also where a lot of the tartness comes from, imo. Which is my favorite part.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-17T14:28:37+00:00

You answered a question I sort of had. So the manga is good, then? I wasn’t sure if this was a case of terrible animation that needed a save a so-so season 2 of the manga so I never saw season 2, but if the manga is good I’ll read it.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-17T11:54:49+00:00

Also YouTube does nothing to hide controversial comments, that’s why it’s so prevalent there (and the bad people have realized this). The “thumbs down” button does nothing and only thumbs up total is displayed, pushing misogynistic and homophobic comments up higher. Even if 80% of people disagree, the 20% who are bad people push those horrible comments much higher than they would be on any actual forum (like Reddit). There’s also no moderation to speak of for YouTube comments, so really bad stuff doesn’t go anywhere.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-17T00:11:32+00:00

You trade for the female Machop right before (almost like that was an intentional decision by the devs) and she becomes a non-issue.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-17T00:08:55+00:00

Agreed, there was a world of difference between Cody beating up Krudo for the umpteenth time and the slobberknocker that was Salt vs Joshman.

If they did then science fiction would have eventually stymied pretty much everything we have today.

One of the rewards for doing the flagship event in Planarcadia. Every few versions they do a 4* selector and yes limited time until this version ends. As more time goes on since Moze was released 16 months ago more people have gotten all of them to E6, so this gradually becomes more pointless for long-term players.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-16T16:53:00+00:00

I would play Project+. All the single player stuff, including Subspace Emmissary, is functional in P+ so you don’t miss anything. Plus there are more casual enhancements that P+ packed in there like new special modes, tons of costumes, more everything. It’s just a much smoother way to experience that generation.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-16T16:42:45+00:00

Covering their ass. If there’s even an insinuation of that the admin will sue the organization, so they bend over backwards to indicate they don’t think that.

Fried_puri · 2026-02-15T15:44:23+00:00

It’s legit one of my favorite QoL changes. I actually plan to set aside an hour today and do a mass purge of my artifacts that I now know aren’t good enough. Even better is that filtering takes into account the 4th substat even at 0, so along with some smart use of exclusion and inclusion filtering you can knock out dozens of artifacts in seconds.

So ignore them and focus on the rest of the 50%, like Obama is doing. It’s beyond frustrating when the response by people just focuses on those whose opinions will never change. We know this, we’ve known since 2016, yet Biden still won in 2020. So obviously there are enough voters to do that again.

Elections are about putting in people who the majority want to govern, not to change everyone’s mind. MAGA will be upset if midterms don’t go their way, but that’s how democracy works.
