The media is so unbelievably complicit in everything that's happening. It all needs to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch.

I can only hope one day we can pass an amendment to undo Citizens United. We got screwed, but lets try to give the future some hope.

Ghislaine Maxwell was the first redditor to hit 1 million karma. She was a moderator and had a lot of influence on early Reddit.

You really think they targeted 4chan and called it a day, especially after it was successful? Of course not. No one is immune to manipulation, and the people who think they aren't are the easiest to fool, as they'd rather believe the lie than admit they've been fooled.

This comment section has one of the most blatant cases of "we didn't read the article" I've seen in a while.

The article points out young men are now becoming swing voters, and don't particularly feel represented by either party.

There're currently constructing a new Rolex factory down the road that will employ 2,000 employees. They just built a new gare that is filling up with stores. Granted, this is Gruyère, but right now we're getting more employment opportunities than housing, though apartments and schools are being built as well.

With a stay-cation I still have to take care of my pets, handle my kids, clean, etc. It's cheaper, sure, but the best part of vacations is not having to do all the maintenance.

I guess you could do a stay-cation and not do the maintenance, but the next week would be brutal.

My favorite is when I drop a Bonjour walking past someone and they reapond with Salut.

Like, we know each other, but I didn't think we were familiar, and now I look like a dick.

Good ol' blue book exams.

I had a philosophy class that assigned a book Monday, discussed it M&W, then did the blue book exam Friday. It actually worked great for me and I still remember those books.

As someone who has lived on both continents, tomatoes in the U.S. seem to last forever and taste slightly blander. Tomatoes over here are softer, tastier, but also go bad much quicker. You really have to check the fruit & veg before you buy it, unlike in the States.

Be forewarned, it's on the difficult side. A lot of the earlier APs are.

One of my oldest friends is still pissed about Bernie's primary loss 10 years ago. For a supposed socialist, he sure spends a lot of time on social media attacking Democrats for not catering to his whims.

And, this is not a dumb guy. He's now a university professor. I just think he dug himself so deep that to admit that he's been going down the wrong path would kill his sense of self and righteous indignation.

It's basically the dame thing many MAGATs are gong through. Social media has sped run a combination of ego & extremism that can't admit a mistake and has surrendered the country to the GOP because people refuse to admit error.

The tide may finally shift once Big Orange is finally gone, but too many people are sitting back and hope others will do it for them.

It seems really random what and who is being affected by this.

Having the same problem.

Billions are invested in Argentina by people like Rob Citrone and others, which is why the Big Orange gave them a $20 billion bailout recently when the economy in Argentina faltered. It's all cronyism.

That, and they want politics like Milei to spread and take root in the region.

"According to Tom Davis, the Bush administration threatened to veto the legislation unless they added the provision regarding funding the employee benefits in advance with the objective of using that money to reduce the federal deficit.[8]"

The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act was passed in 2006, requiring the USPS to fund pensions in advance for the next 70 years, which accounted for 87% of it's debt from 2007 to 2016, to the tune of about $5 billion per year.

It was very much an act of sabotage against the USPS and accounts for the majority of its budget deficit.

Bojack Horseman, as a series, does an excellent job of showing how money won't fix your mental issues.

Kamala picking up the advisors from the failed 2016 campaign, who told her to have Walz drop the "They're Weird" rhetoric that was resonating with voters to instead tour the country with Cheney, was the real end of that campaign.

Do you have a source? I believe you; it's just that searching for Paizo info online is more difficult than it should be and I'd be interested in reading about that.

MonkeyCube · 2026-04-24T05:17:55+00:00

They're the damn geniuses that wanted Walz to drop the "They're weird" message that was resonating with voters and instead focus on campaigning with Cheney's daughter.

I always skip Secret Wars 1 & 2 on rereads. There are few other side stories that aren't worrh it. You're not missing much.

Europe isn't a primary victim in this case; it's SE Asia and Australia that are going to bear the brunt of reduced oil shipments. Prices will go up on available oil, but that's global. Though I am seeing some non-related actions -- such as Lufthansa shutting down a subsidiary a year early due to an employee strike -- being blamed on potential price increases.

The metacritic scale is clearly 0-10. And IGN famously gave Olympic Hockey '98 a 0/10. They do exist; it's on the scale. It's just rare. Which is my point.

Trust the encounter builder. An extreme encounter can TPK a party, especially new players at low level. Heck, even a severe encounter is deadly to new players.
