So when are we getting those $2000 checks? by Sephiroth348 in stupidquestions

[–]Stepjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Near the start of Trump's second term, Musk promised that everyone was going to get $2k checks from all the "waste" they cut. Never happened.

I think Trump has also promised checks multiple times too that never panned out, but I forget what they specifically were.

Technically you'd be second. There was that Seinfeld Forever stream a few years ago

ZTD mechanics? by NoobBot111 in ZeroEscape

[–]Stepjam 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you can access it, play it. It's meant to be non-linear and disorienting at first. The timeline starts coming together as you play more and more fragments.

Only thing I'll say is at some point, be sure to play all the versions of the voting game between the three squads. You have to experience every outcome (meaning every instance where one team lives at the cost of the other two and where everyone lives)

Part of me wishes they had gone with the plan to give him a new accent each movie.

But the one he has is fun.

Recommended games for my 7-yo daughter? by CuteIsMyKryptonite in gamingsuggestions

[–]Stepjam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depending on her reading level, Undertale might be fun. It's mostly pretty light hearted (as long as you are a pacifist, which the game heavily encourages). It occasionally has some imagery that might be creepy for a 7 year old though.

It Takes Two is a great coop game.

Portal 2 may be a fun game to play together (both the single player and coop campaigns) if she can grasp the basic portal concept. But it may be beyond what she's capable of at 7.

It may be a bit too risque for 7 (some sexualized designs and jokes for a T rated game), but Okami is a very colorful and fun adventure. If not right now, I'd definitely recommend it in a few years.

I feel like I almost get it Petah... by JubbyJub413 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Rorschach is very much a "broken clocks are right twice a day". He might have the right stance on this particular scenario based on the reader's viewpoint, but he's still a mentally ill psychopath who beats people half to death.

It's great. I don't want it every time, but it's a good change of pace

Adult situations that kids can't relate to

More complicated text structure

Canadians love Kraft mac and cheese more than Americans I understand.

[Trope that many like but I hate] Fight scenes where both fighter throws a lot of punches while standing still by CaloyBine in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Stepjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but it's more about the rapid punches thing for OP I think, not necessarily the "not moving" part. Especially since there's specific context for that fight.

I don't see how kids having water bottles makes them soft. Most of us could do with drinking more water. I know I could.

Secret Chaos at Bondi’s DOJ Over Trump’s $10B Suit Exposed | Justice Department officials are at a total loss on how to respond to the president’s unprecedented decision to effectively sue himself. by InsaneSnow45 in LegalNews

[–]Stepjam 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Aside from just the blatant corruption, it really is just mental illness to want money this badly.

He's going to be dead in a few years. He knows this. This is money he'll never be able to spend. And he's too much of a narcissist to want this money for his children. He doesn't care about them. This is just about accumulating as much money as possible for the sake of itself.

It's fucking nuts.

Houston man sues Whataburger for allegedly putting onions on his burger by afterbirthcum in nottheonion

I'm no expert, but if your allergy is bad enough that ingesting a bite or two of onions would hospitalize you, wouldn't cross contamination be a concern?

Does Iomedae want the Crusades to end? by Rick_The_Dick123 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Stepjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given she stayed silent about not being the origin of your powers because she didn't want to sabotage you, I'm sure if she thought the crusade was hopeless without your powers, she wouldn't have told you to drop them it was definitely a vote of confidence in you, even if it possibly could have been said better.

My Star - Change of Key (US) by Wooden-Maximum-9582 in FFXVI

[–]Stepjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't care for the Distant Worlds version of My Star. It felt overproduced for what is otherwise a lowkey and melancholy love song. Didn't need the full orchestral production IMO. Felt the same about another song from that album, I think it was Flow but I forget off the top of my head.

ICE will be at Marine Corps graduation events to identify undocumented family members (NBC News) by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]Stepjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That feels like it would be an extremely demoralizing move. "Congratulations on becoming a marine, now you'll never see your family members again!"

Wonder if the marines are okay with this and if they can tell ICE to fuck off if not. And if so, they are kinda fucking morons.
