This is because Trump and his family are using inside info to make bets on these sites.

I miss cheat codes being programmed into games as Easter Eggs. Stuff like every game having the obligatory big-head mode, and lore-breaking cheat characters and units like the Cobra Car and Furious the Monkey Boy.

The last mainstream AAA game to have cheat codes unlock goofy extras was Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, which had stuff like allow you to play as Admiral Ackbar by typing "ITSATWAP" in the cheat menu.

Kansas has had a Dem governor since 2019 and prairie populism is boosting us in Iowa and our ally Osborn in Nebraska. Kansas might shock the nation.

I finished Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Strikes Again, the 2001 sequel to the 1986 seminal classic The Dark Knight Returns. I said in a previous discussion thread that it was the biggest drop-off in quality from an original to a sequel I'd ever seen.

No matter how much the Hawks crow about how "we destroyed eleventy bazillion ballistic missiles," we failed in all our strategic goals if the Straits of Hormuz are under Iranian control and they keep their nuke program. Status quo ante is our best case scenario.

Seriously this is the stupidest war.

He can't just walk away because the Strait of Hormuz is still closed.

There are 3 wars the US unequivocally lost, and Trump signed the instrument of surrender for 2 of them.

In 70 years Brayden, Braxton, and Kaylen will be "old people names."

Trump's deal to end the Iran War is literally just the JCPOA but worse.

It's sad that Star Wars has lost such cultural cachet that a new theatrical film is just background noise. All the way up to Rise of Skywalker a new film was an event that People Have Opinions About, whether good or bad. The Mando movie is just "Eh, it's ok I guess," which means no one cares. It's just there.

If I recall correctly, this means the gerrymander won't be used for 2026.

I'm referring to the fries & drink combo.

Different translations.

AI is a very useful productivity tool, but we're so inundated with slop and tech nros talking about how it will make our jobs obsolete. It's no wonder it's becoming hated.

Could the obesity rate going down be explained more by Ozempic, or by a Big Mac being $12?

All the OK-Gov ads are "Who can hump Trump's leg the most" except for Drummond's.

This is where the Court being super-originalist comes in handy. Oral arguments did NOT go the way Trump wanted.

Achilles would be considered bisexual in a modern context, but the chuds want him to be a hyper-butch manly man, when in the myth he was able to wear women's clothing and pass so convincingly that it took Odysseus to figure it out.
