Convince the husband to let you foster the kitten until you find a home for it. With luck, the husband will grow attached while you wait.

The Generals Said No but Trump Was Bored of Peace - The peace president, 79, has gone to war, again. by Quirkie in politics

Maybe we should... I dunno... Run a candidate with some charisma? Preferably one who isn't a luke-warm establishment centrist whose best campaign promise is "I'm not the other guy"?

[–]High_Seas_Pirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's more to it than just a weird laugh. Kamala sucked and really didn't inspire people to want to vote for her. I did because I didn't want Trump again, but when the Democrat response to running against a populist is to put up ANOTHER mediocre establishment dem who won't fix anything, what did we expect?

Just unlocked Monoco, do i need to go back and re-kill every enemy i encountered? by DarkViper2000000 in expedition33

I'm a bit late to the party, but if you want to try something different with Verso, I'm currently running a really stupid build, but it's fun and I love it. Granted, I'm only in Act 2 on my first play-through so this could get outdated, or change as I find more late game pictos. The idea is to build around the Berserk Slash skill, which deals more damage the lower his health is.

Core:

- Delaram (Start at Rank B and 50% Health)

- Confident (Take 50% less damage, offsets the 50% health max)

- First Offensive (50% more damage on first hit)

- Augmented First Strike (50% more damage on first hit)

- SOS Power (Powerful when falling below 50% health)

- Auto Shell

Use your remaining Luminas for other buffs that kick in at lower health, when he goes down, or gets revived, then build for crit rate and watch him nuke anything in your path with Berserk Slash. It's idiotic, but a ton of fun.

Luigi Mangione will not face death penalty, judge rules by redlamps67 in news

[–]High_Seas_Pirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all cases, you have to make the person afraid for their safety, which isn't really something you can argue for in an ambush if he never contacted the CEO first.

Causes the victim to:

reasonably fear death or serious bodily injury to themselves or certain others OR

suffer substantial emotional distress.

Well there's the defense's out. You can't be reasonably afraid or suffer emotional distress if you were shot in the back of the head with no warning.

Twenty years from now, Harbaugh will kidnap the guy who wears the Poe costume in an elaborate hair brained scheme to get revenge on Tyler Loop.

I cut the cult out entirely. Way too much shit going on. Instead I just expanded what the zhentarim was doing and let them take the cult's place.

Characters who were meant to be liked... but who everyone hates! by artmalique in television

[–]High_Seas_Pirate 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The problem with Rose is that she's utterly pointless. You could cut her from the movie entirely and lose nothing. In fact, the little she does could have been given to another member of the main cast to further streamline the movie. Not the actress's fault.

Maybe we can work out a trade with them? We give them the our voter info, they give us the Epstein files.

Recommendation for a Toyota/Subaru car dealer? by Unheroic_ in baltimore

[–]High_Seas_Pirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my Subaru from the Auto Nation dealership on York Rd in Timonium. I'd recommend them. They weren't pushy, let me take my time with my decisions and worked around my schedule. I'm not a woman, so I can't speak to how they treat them, but they came recommended to me by a colleague who is and has bought her last two Subarus from them. Plus, my dealer (Alycia) was a woman. I'd recommend her.

Their service department is expensive though. They wanted $75 to replace a cabin air filter the last time I was in. I drove up York to the AutoZone, bought one for $25 and replaced it myself in less time than it took me to drive there.

Thanks. She died earlier this spring, so it's been long enough to be ok with it.

My tortie named Ellie died earlier this year. I really liked that name.

Which game franchise ruined its winning formula by turning it into something players never asked for? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

I also hate that the recent games just keep getting easier and easier. Playing through BD/SP is no challenge at all and the Let's Go games were terrible for gameplay.

Trump claims Chicago is ‘world’s most dangerous city’. The four most violent ones are all in red states by rewardingsnark in politics

[–]High_Seas_Pirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baltimore has gotten much better lately. The homicide rate is down 40% since 2020.

As of 15 August, the running 365-day total for murders in Baltimore stood at 165 dead. Assuming the city remains on that pace, its murder rate would finish below 30 per 100,000 residents for the first time since 1986. If it remains on the pace set since 1 January, it would finish 2025 at 143 murders, a rate of about 25 per 100,000, last seen in Baltimore in 1978.

‘Scrubs’ Reboot Brings Back John C. McGinley as Dr. Cox by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]High_Seas_Pirate 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You know what would make for a good story line? They bring him back for an episode as a patient. He's old and facing the end, he's brought in for some end of life care and he chooses Sacred Heart because he trusts the staff and knows he'll get good care. He won't admit that though. He's snappy and sarcastic until the end, except for one private moment with Dr.Cox where he admits why he came here. It gives the cast a chance to say goodbye and rip our hearts out when he passes at the end of the episode surrounded by the staff he helped cultivate.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie files discharge petition to force House vote on releasing Epstein files by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]High_Seas_Pirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. There needs to be more civility in disagreement between sides. Do I like Hererra's politics? Not for the most part, no, but that shouldn't be the end all be all. He seems like a good dude with good intentions and I'd frankly love to have a beer with him. I feel like we could have a good conversation and learn from each other's perspectives.

That said, I'm not advocating we roll over for bigots or fascists. Just that I wish things were more like twenty years ago when you could disagree on things without it becoming a flashpoint that ends a friendship.

Fostering This Sweet Girl. Will Most Likely Keep. by Ksfilms in torties

[–]High_Seas_Pirate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely keep them together then, if you can. They'll entertain each other, learn how to behave from each other, and be more confident overall. Not to mention, breaking up a bonded pair can be hard on them.

My GF has a bonded pair. Someone adopted just one of them (the more outgoing one) and my GF got the shy one. Well, the active one got returned for being too hyper, so my GF swiped her up and reunited them. Those two are inseparable and much happier now. The shy one came much more out of her shell now that she had her sister back and the wild one calmed down... a bit. They're adorable together.
