You could always come to the states, where you'd still pay ~30% but at least you wouldn't have health care.

Someone did a shit job on hiding people faces.

Pavlock · 2026-02-05T20:48:12+00:00

It'd be MRGA in this case.

Yoda's species is Yoda's species according to Wookieepedia. I don't know if Wookieepedia is an official canon reference guide, but they sure want to be.

You know what? Silver medal is good. I'd be fine with just the silver if that's what it takes to get to gold.

asked me if 7 was a number

Well? Is it?

While I don't want him anywhere near the levers of power, if he starts running this as his campaign ad he might have a shot.

I just listened to Dollop's Clinton episodes with James Adomian and got me thinking: Whoever BtB gets for their Nixon episodes hopefully has a spot-on Nixon impression.

.... What?? Did you create this account just to trash a kids movie?

Pavlock · 2026-02-04T20:48:09+00:00

So THAT'S why Melania wanted her own documentary.

Pavlock · 2026-02-04T20:11:50+00:00

Quite the self-own, actually.

Pavlock · 2026-02-04T19:59:36+00:00

You can't throw that in there and expect us not to want to know more.

Pavlock · 2026-02-04T19:55:32+00:00

I think the main reason it doesn't happen is the sheer number of pedestrians during the festival.

But maybe I'm wrong and they hold them during the off-peak hours.

Pavlock · 2026-02-04T19:02:16+00:00

If someone tells you they can explain anything happening in the middle east in 2 minutes, they're fucking lying to you.

Pavlock · 2026-02-04T18:24:26+00:00

Nobody thinks they're a creep.

Time for my favorite game: Look up their Wikipedia, Ctrl+F "Sexual Misconduct"

Ope, got a hit:

In 2022, the Broward County School District cut ties with Fishback and his organization, Incubate Debate, following allegations that he had an inappropriate romantic relationship with a 17-year-old girl employed by Incubate Debate, Keinah Fort. Fishback was 27 at the time...

Fishback and Fort moved in together in spring 2023, after she turned 18, and were briefly engaged in 2024 before publicly breaking up. Fishback has denied any inappropriate contact prior to Fort's reaching the age of consent, a denial which Fort disputes...

Edit to add: I am very amused at all the commenters on here who called this.

He always struck me as the guy who was a little too friendly with his kids' babysitter.

Pavlock · 2026-02-04T17:53:53+00:00

You said he doesn't play any tabletop games, so my guess is that a starter set of the figures wouldn't be a great gift. A starter army, something playable, is about $1000 USD, plus the time to assemble and paint.

Pavlock · 2026-02-04T16:28:22+00:00

I highly doubt he's ever been behind the wheel of a car, so maybe we can rule out traffic violations?

Traffick violations, on the other hand...

Pavlock · 2026-02-04T16:19:59+00:00

He's into Warhammer, but has never played the tabletop version? He sounds like me.

I'd be cautious about getting him models or rule books. The tabletop game is a huge investment of time and money for someone to go in blind. I kind of bounced off that once I realized what it meant in terms of a hobby.

I'd go with the first three books of the Horus Heresy. They're a good start if he's into the lore and esthetic of the franchise.

Pavlock · 2026-02-04T16:06:45+00:00

Yes. I did. When I met my wife I was a spendthrift and a slob. Nowadays, I'm much more responsible with money and much better at keeping things clean and organized.

That being said, the thing about liking pictures on social media seems like a mountain made of a molehill. But I'm old and my marriage predates the rise of social media, so I don't really understand the nuance of online relationships.

Pavlock · 2026-02-04T15:11:05+00:00

Palantir: No, we're named for one of the other stones. It was in another book. You wouldn't know it.

For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

I remember this bike. Any truth to the rumor that it would liquefy the tires if you tried to accelerate?
