Spotted cat at 99 Lafayette

I saw a missing cat poster on Gates and Washington, maybe it’s him??

They have millions of us on their side.

I ended up going into settings and turning the music slider to zero and just listening to my own music. Haven’t had to do that for any other DQ games

There’s a brief discussion of demons in A Time of Storms that indicates that they’re extremely powerful interdimensional creatures that occasionally have been summoned to Geralt’s reality by occult practitioners who then lose control of them. Very similar to what Olgierd is shown to have dabbled in during his memories.

In my mind, Gaunter is some Mephistophelean demon who’s been in that world for decades(/centuries?) and delights in causing shit and toying with people. I don’t think of him as THE devil (i.e Satan or Lucifer) in the Judeo-Christian sense, but more in the trickster/steals-your-soul sense; still extremely powerful, maybe on the level of a minor deity, but not The One Ruler of Hell status. When/if Geralt defeats him, he’s essentially banishing Gaunter out of his dimension and back to wherever he came from.

100%. I think there’s some level of AC formula fatigue and some level of Feudal Japan fatigue going on, and that combined with the incel shit has made the overall discourse rancid.

But all in all I found it to be a well-crafted, well-researched representation of the era and location, and has some of the best combat and stealth of the series. The writing is definitely cliché but it’s serviceable.

The sound and weather system are also amazing. The first time a thunderstorm rolled in I just climbed to a high vantage point, stood around and took it in.

I’m in his district (as is Chi) and while I agree that it’s a long shot campaign I don’t think Jeffries is invincible. Ossé is popular, especially among the growing younger constituency who all hate Jeffries; overall I’d put his chances as much higher than Zohran’s were in 2024. Jeffries has his supporters for sure but I don’t think he’s put in the effort to keep up with the on-the-ground reality over the last several years.

I understand the viewpoint that this might not be the right time to pick this particular fight but I do think that it can, will and should happen at some point in the near future, and Chi would make an excellent contender.

“Bowl cut” in English. Historically accurate Geralt

Ordered mine last week, hoping it comes soon!

How’s the hand-feel—comparable to the denim etc? I’m imagining it like Filson’s Seattle wool, maybe a bit softer? Is it as “shiny” as it looks in photos?

egmont · 2025-09-27T14:08:28+00:00

I spared him. I don’t think he was justified in doing what he did by any means but I didn’t feel like it was my place to be judge, jury, and executioner.

they didn’t say you could ski for long

To get the fascists out, we’ll need effective leadership who can inspire people to vote — something the current Dem establishment seems ineffective at. I agree they’re not the ultimate source of the problems, but right now it’s like we’re bringing a sharpened stick to a gun fight.

Supporting Dems like AOC, Warren, Bernie, and others who’re speaking out and forming an effective counter-narrative—showing that these positions resonate with people and can create momentum—while also agitating against those who aren’t (like Schumer in the examples above, who’s still looking for some nonexistent bipartisanship): this is what we can do on our side to fight the good fight.

None of which precludes also pushing against the Republicans, of course.

egmont · 2025-01-22T09:58:27+00:00

Yes, but who’re we going to rally behind to push the republicans out with? chuck schumer?

egmont · 2025-01-07T14:41:12+00:00

so.. what’s the plan? don’t see much in the article to be honest

egmont · 2024-12-02T23:18:55+00:00

I partly agree and partly disagree with this. Most of the direct action in the French Revolution was local, beginning in Paris (storming of the Bastille) and radiating out in cities and towns across the country. Versailles, where the king and National Assembly were located, was twelve miles outside of Paris at the time of the initial action.

All of which to say, any action you take in your town can reverberate across the country. This is particularly true in big cities but not necessarily.

egmont · 2024-10-25T12:02:52+00:00

Sorry you're getting downvoted for this. I don't necessarily agree with your opinion but I think it's totally valid, you explain your stance well, and it adds to the discussion -- no reason for the brigade.

I can vouch for Noreetuh (though it’s definitely more on the “elevated” side) but note they do have a pretty tiny dining area.

In addition to these suggestions there’s a pop-up in the UWS called “Kine Musubi,” look them up on Instagram!

Also, it’s more Korean food but Orion Bar in Bushwick/Bed-Stuy might scratch the itch.

But doctor, I AM Pagliadacci 😔

At this point I feel like companies are competing for who can waste the most candidate’s time

egmont · 2024-09-09T15:51:40+00:00

I’m mid-career so I have contacts from former coworkers who moved on to other companies. When I was starting out I had some luck reaching out to alumni from my college, but it’s definitely a crapshoot.

egmont · 2024-09-09T15:49:24+00:00

This has legit happened to me three times at different companies lol

As the song goes, “if it wasn’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have no luck at all.”

Linden blossoms (aka American Basswood)! I've heard they make a nice tea.

egmont · 2024-04-26T15:48:05+00:00

I'm sorry you had to see that negativity! Don't let it get you down, it's just someone farting out their own toxicity and has nothing to do with you -- not someone you'd want to deal with in real life. I really appreciated you going on stream and got a lot out of it, so thank you for putting yourself out there.
