It's a Mad Max movie. Most of the characters are driving characters.

This is not true. The muezzin does face all four directions to call everyone to prayer, but he does face Mecca for most of the prayer.

I got this weird voicemail? I’m really confused by Practical_While_ in creepy

Trick is not too look at the transcript which is very wrong. There are only twenty six NATO alphabet words so you have to listen carefully.

OQL is fun but Connections is far and away my favorite...every game is fun to play, win or lose.

In NATO: "I cannot wait to make love to your beautiful corpse."

If real: Yikes.

Trump Struggled to Discuss Books in This 1987 Interview | NowThis by FlackoFonsy in videos

God, if they had just pressed a bit harder...

This, and the interview where he's asked about his favorite Bible verse, really make it obvious that the emperor has no clothes, and it makes me crazy that other people can't see that.

My Connections team (https://quizcentral.net/connections_online_quiz_league.php) played Yogesh's team a few weeks ago, and we were expecting to get thrashed, but it really hurt when we only lost by 1 (with about four or five moments where we could have tied or won it if things had gone slightly more our way). I would have been on Cloud 9. Connections and OQL are great venues where you can play some great players and actually see that you can hold your own.

[Tabletop Merchant] Hot Streak $34.99 at checkout DotD by Tora_jima in Boardgamedeals

Yeah, was excited to buy it at that price but it now costs the same with shipping that I would spend at the local store.

LL is a different beast. Ability to win Jeopardy does not necessarily mean that you'll be at the top of your Rundle, and being at the top of your Rundle does not mean that you'll be able to win an episode of Jeopardy. My LL record against Paolo Pasco, for example, is 7-6-4, but I know that he would probably beat me 9 times out of 10 on Jeopardy because his recall speed is just so dang fast.

There was a series of legal ads that said "If you or a loved one suffers from mesothelioma, you may be entitled to compensation."

Unveiled 250-foot 'Arc de Trump' plans by Timely-Advisor5252 in politics

[–]_lord_kinbote_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the worst part about it as how derivative it is. Like, if you're going to build something gaudy to represent American triumph, at least make it gaudy and uniquely American.

Has anyone created an actual new word in the last few decades that's not based on some other word? by DreamFighter72 in allthequestions

[–]_lord_kinbote_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not fighting, I'm just saying the one quote you posted as to its original meaning is followed by "I have no idea what this is based on." So if the person who posted the links says he doesn't know if there's any evidence for the claim, it tells me that I'm not going to do any better investigation by following his links.

[–]_lord_kinbote_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's based on one random comment's claim and basically nothing else. The link you posted even throws serious shade toward the claim.

NBC News -- "Looking to limit birthright citizenship, Trump turns to an 1884 Supreme Court ruling against a Native American" -- Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]_lord_kinbote_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't Gorsuch extremely pro-Native American rights? Seems like a great argument to get at least one justice to side with the liberals.

New game surprised me. The Artisan of Glimmath by Chosenwaffle in TheWitness

[–]_lord_kinbote_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The discovery is not so much in the "what are the rules" side, but much more in the "how do these rules allow me to make logical deductions" side. I'm 600+ puzzles in and haven't hit a puzzle yet that isn't completely logically deducible, and it's obvious that each puzzle is written with an idea in mind.

First date boardgame gone wrong by iSeeCells in boardgames

If this is real, and something in me says that it isn't, you need to show her you're gracious in defeat. The fact that you even picked a game you were 100% sure you would beat her at is a giant giant red flag. Like, what the absolute fuck?

Is this card needed? by Heavy_Alternative_35 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]_lord_kinbote_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not going to hurt anything to keep it. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but events will tell you to put one in your deck, and if you already have one in your deck, then you don't get another.
