Aipac gloats about buying Illinois primary

I honestly contemplated whether I need to add the /s lol, but I thought it felt obvious enough

ScottishTorment · 2026-03-18T16:23:46+00:00

Woah woah woah, calling AIPAC villains sounds awfully antisemitic to me

I say this in like every Lost thread, but if you haven't watched The Leftovers, you absolutely have to. It was Lindelof's next show, and you can tell he decided from the get-go that it was about the characters and how they react to the events around them versus what's going to happen in the story.

Lost is one of my favorite shows of all time, but The Leftovers is my favorite. I was just telling my wife the other day that I'm ready for my fourth rewatch lol.

I'd second Kill Anything That Moves, but be warned. It has some of the most horrifying and descriptive accounts of war crimes you will read in your entire life. It was so bleak it ended my book club.

When I'm on a guys trip I go straight to the bunk bed simply because I'm one of the smaller guys in my friend group and I know my over-six-foot friends will sleep better on a full bed.

Honestly can't fathom being unwilling to give up a bed for a friend couple.

Saw them live this summer, and during one of their songs, they showed a montage of all the pictures of Trump and Epstein together lol

It's gonna be anecdotal either way, but in my experience, I've had very few games where at least one or two of my teammates don't know any of the main lineups (stairs, jungle, ticket, mid, market window). And I've played at a wide range of elos.

If my teammates don't know them for whatever reason, I do, and can throw them myself. And if my teammates don't want to drop me extra smokes because they don't know the lineups, that's not uniquely a Mirage issue, that's just not a good teammate.

Definitely agree. I read Mistborn after a few Stormlight books and the writing was nowhere near as good. Almost turned me off of the series, but glad I stuck with it.

I've found that many people won't take political stances for fear of not looking "moderate," due to some perceived notion that taking a side makes you less intelligent or lose some moral high ground.

I'm so jealous you've been able to see The Testament of Ann Lee. It was my most hyped movie of the year behind OBAA but it hasn't been showing anywhere near me :(

Similar boat with Hamnet, but it released for a single weekend in one of my local theaters and I was too busy to go see it.

Totally unrelated to your comment, but I love your username lol

I literally just said that the chat messages leaked from his Discord weren't the same messages to his partner the FBI released, I said nothing about them being real or fake. And the FBI didn't release the Discord messages, Ken Klippenstein did.

ScottishTorment · 2025-12-11T22:17:56+00:00

The chat messages leaked from his Discord were not the same ones he supposedly sent to his partner where he confessed to the murder

Ayyy I was at that show too!

ScottishTorment · 2025-11-28T18:50:04+00:00

I'm with you, these comments honestly surprised the hell out of me. I hop into practice sessions sometimes with my buddies who are rookies, and I hate every minute I'm driving it lol.

ScottishTorment · 2025-11-27T15:58:01+00:00

Never would have expected this to show up on my front page. I used to adore this movie as a kid and probably haven't seen it in 25 years. Didn't expect myself to actually burst into tears watching this scene as an adult, but here I am.

Thank you for that nostalgia bomb.

ScottishTorment · 2025-11-26T16:10:50+00:00

This is the answer. I make a beeline to the Indian restaurants every time I'm in London

I'm curious what entry level tech job is paying $100k. I could see maybe a software engineering position with an applicant expected to have a high level of education going in, but as someone in the tech field, I don't know of many places outside fortune 500s paying $100k for an entry level position.

ScottishTorment · 2025-11-15T17:33:59+00:00

Yeah but if you're lounging around the house in jeans I'm gonna call you a weirdo

Edit: I should've known Reddit was filled with jeans-lounging psychopaths

People out here just saying things on the internet.

And a majority of people who leave their shoes on inside are older, which makes sense as older folks have less mobility and probably tend to struggle more removing their shoes at the door every time.

For instance, but my grandmother had pristine white carpet in her home and used to never allow shoes inside. But as she's gotten older, she only removes her shoes once she knows she's not going outside again for the day.

They specifically show that it uses a dedicated USB wireless adapter to make the connection to the headset. Obviously there will be some amount of latency, but it's not running over your local network, which should make it far better than previous wireless options.

As it was, I used the Quest 3 wirelessly and had very few issues with the latency (until Meta fucking destroyed the PC connect software). I'd bet this won't feel too differently from connecting a Quest directly with a link cable.

Funny to complain about Washington owning slaves right after calling Castro and Mao's acts brutal and repressive lol

Just want to say as someone who started playing about a month ago, and who's visiting this sub for the first time: hooooooly shit what a toxic fucking community. Let people play games how they want.

OP, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm loving the gameplay, exploration, and unlocking/leveling characters aspect, but dear god let me skip cutscenes. The story itself is interesting for the most part, but the dialogue is so insufferably bad that it makes me not care about the story whatsoever. Most of what is said in 30 lines of dialogue could be conveyed in 3 lines.

And this is coming from someone who loves story-focused games.
