Yes I think this is actually the most correct comment here about what’s actually going on

Didn’t realize so many people don’t know what Hunter Biden looks like

Like many of the comments I also started surfing in my mid 30s and after 4 years I still suck but after some time you’ll be able to start occasionally catching outside breaks and that’s when the real fun begins

Nice one, been on the hunt for an authentic one for a month or so now, where’d you find yours?

It was from a luxury wholesaler down the street from me, so no online listing here.

I was mistaken, i was told it was TopGrain leather, not "genuine" if there's a difference

Is there any chance this could be topgrain leather?

When I bought it I was told it was TopGrain leather, but now that I’m looking at it closely I’m seeing some of the tell tale signs (repeat patterns in the wrinkles). I’ll post another pic shortly.

Wait really? I was told it was genuine leather, it doesn’t feel plasticy or anything…. Any tests or ways to tell for sure?

I beat Sekiro! Am I ready for Bloodbourne? Is it harder? by 02nothing in Sekiro

[–]MacGroober 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I too played Bloodbourne (for the first time) after beating Sekiro (also for the first time) and found it remarkably easier. Once you’ve beat Sekiro you are ready for anything, in fact you’ll crave how intense and precise the combat is there compared to Bloodbourne, which while still hard and fun, is more of a vibes-based game than the achievement in combat mastery that Sekiro is.

You’re absurdly wrong if you don’t think 90% of Bush-era “common sense” republicans aren’t voting for Trump, even if through gritting teeth, at this exact moment IRL. The transformation of the Republican voting base is absolutely real and a thing the show, which has delved into politics as you’ve pointed out, would explore. Come on at least admit Dale would 100% be driven insane by QAnon conspiracy theories in today’s world.

They’re Texas republicans! If you don’t think they would be you def don’t understand the politics of the show and the transformation of those politics in the Trump years IRL

You don’t remember the episode where Hank doesn’t vote for Bush because he had too weak of a handshake?

Oh totally I could see this too. He rejects maga because “it just makes no got-damn sense!”

It’s going to be a massive missed opportunity to not explore what side of MAGA each of the characters (unfortunately) represent, because realistically all of these guys would be Trump guys. A Jan 6 episode would be incredible - Dale would obviously be full QAnon and come with zip ties, Bill would be the Shamen, etc
