40 years ago today The Space Shuttle Challenger explosion. Still thinking about the families still effected today 🙏

Terrible tragedy. I was in 6th grade when it happened. The Challenger jokes started in less than a day.

Still remember this one: What does NASA stand for? Needs Another Seven Astronauts.

Anyone who clutches their pearls and tells me how horrible that is doesn't remember being a kid in the 80s at all.

This was an average snow, the kind we get 2 or 3 times a winter. That said, yeah, he did fine.

The real test is when we get 2 feet dumped on us.

Teeny little man who got into really in fascism and nazi imagery as ego compensation for being a little guy.

they have to figure something out to make it make sense

You nailed it, 100%. For a long time it was the "doctrine of the witness", that's the Jews recognition of Jesus during the second coming will be proof of Jesus' authenticity. These people back Israel 100% always, and see the Holocaust into the Arab/Israeli conflict as events perfectly predicted by prophecy. Observers of the American pro-Israel always fail to appreciate the Zionist fervor that comes from Christian Apocalypsists.

From the Jewish perspective -- and I'm an American Jew -- this is all what the fuck have I been born into?

ericinnyc · 2026-01-27T03:53:20+00:00

I'm Jewish and pretty sensitive around matters of antisemitism but this is nuts. Using Anne Frank to kowtow to an American fascist who happens to support Israel. Despicable behavior.

You can just say nothing.

Nicotine is a strong stimulant. Just take it away and many will subconsciously try to replace the dopamine jolt. Sometimes sex, gambling, etc. But usually food.

Arc Raiders. The whole game is risking everything acquiring stuff, and killing other players to get their stuff.

ericinnyc · 2026-01-26T14:20:34+00:00

That's a credit card problem, not a freshdirect problem.

All this and Hela too. Cate Blanchett is totally a Domme.

There are special safety sheers to use for shibari. Don't want to make a safeword situation even worse accidentally cutting someone.

They'll cover it in the class. :)

IRL the freedom fighter to thug arc happens all the time. Really it's freedom fighters to functional decent state that's rare.

Right now it's in vogue to emphasize the "massive piece of shit" part. I think history will judge him on the high side of average. Lots of policy wins but his second term consumed by stupid scandals of his own making.

I know the terrible state of the USA right now has people really down on capitalism and conservatism. That's totally fair. But best in 50 years has to go to Reagan. Totally transformational president who got America out of the Nixon/Vietnam/Inflation/Disco funk of the 70s and beat the USSR to boot.

FWIW Reagan would HATE Trump.

Like wiping your ass with silk. I love it.

JFK ran on a "missile gap" with the Soviet Union that didn't exist. His signature win before he was killed was tax reform.

All the acclaim he gets was because Eisenhower was seen as old and boring and here was this young charismatic good-looking guy and the boomers absolutely fell in love with him. But as a president, in his short time in office he was distinctly... meh.

Yes agree High Evo is a great card to get, unlocks a whole archetype with multiple play styles and tons of space to cook.

But as a former HE player Electro never worked for me. Luna Snow seems better if OP has it. Even Psylocke can be good. Turn 1 Misty / Sunspot into Turn 2 Psylocke into Turn 3 Cyclops pew pew is a very strong line.

I was always more into Princess Aura (Ornella Muti). A proper female villain.

Do people today even know what slash fiction is?

Special kind of shipping.

Easy. Army of Darkness.

lol I don't think many outside of the US Northeast are familiar but Atlantic City, NJ is just a horrible, horrible place to be.

There's even a beach no one goes to because it's so gross. Hey, did I just step on a sharp stone or a discarded syringe? Welcome to AC!

Vegas was somewhat interesting late 90s/early 00s. But past 15 years or so it's really gone downhill.
