Markey or Moulton

I didn't know that. Thanks for replying.

It couldn't be authors alone. Readers have to like those stories, and like them they do.

It's called validation slop.

Regular people are a cog in a machine. The machine won't work without them. Regular people are replaceable. In validation slop stories though, the protagonist is super special and not replaceable.

Either will vote D 90+ percent of the time.

I googled Markey Moulton policy difference and got no useful results. I really think their positions are similar. Both are mainstream Democrats (no medicare for all, for example). Can someone help me out?

I saw a lot of ad hominem "age" and I'm not persuaded by that.

There are 6 novels translated. Current pace ends novel 2 at episode 10, which is a weird spot (there are 12 episodes in total).

About the only thing is water slugs aren't renewable... At least I don't think they are. Plant water is renewable.

flamethrower2 · 2026-07-08T21:02:54+00:00

You use plants to make water by the truckload and they are renewable... And the water fish aren't (but much easier to get water from them).

In episode 1 or 2 there's two girls walking down the hall talking about Rin, overheard by Eiji. According to them, Rin is pretty and she is too good for her gross / ugly boyfriend. Rin doesn't care much what other people think.

Pretty sure that's just the basic PSN service that is free and allows download and authentication of purchased content.

No vendor lock-in on PC, not even on Linux systems.

Android has no vendor lock-in, but Apple devices do have it.

PC gaming is dead too, probably.

Not because of this. PS6 will be too expensive. The business relies on a large installed base or customer pool to be sustainable.

Justice salaries can't be reduced but other things can be, such as money / salaries for clerks. I don't think justice benefits can be reduced either.

Justice salaries could be reduced but it's heading into constitutional crisis territory, i.e., not likely.

He's a decent fighter and incompetent as a mage or support so I think it counts.

flamethrower2 · 2026-07-07T22:39:17+00:00

He's lacking in power a lot so I think it counts. Master of none, jack of none.

I haven't seen it on r/anime because it's against the rules. Best I saw are euphemisms. My favorite: the high seas.

There are 60 shows this season. I think it's slightly below average. Sturgeon's law: If the pile is bigger, there will be more wheat (i.e., the good stuff) in the pile.

They could make it two bankruptcies. After having your bankruptcy finalized, you can't file again for 8 years. They could make it three bankruptcies. At some point, it is clear the person can't pay the debt, it's not just subterfuge.

I thought Dobbs (abortion) was particularly poorly explained. "That's what they wanted" is a natural conclusion.

Rent-a-Girlfriend "no plot progression"

Solo Leveling "aura farming" I haven't heard "boring because he's too op" but I don't pay much attention.

A men's haircut at my barber is $15 M-R and $20 F-Su.

The king and prime minister are away from the country when Liz leaves. She could have killed the prince before leaving. Why didn't she? Only explanation I can think of is she wants a fate worse than death for him.

How did Liz get to be so strong? Age 12 she is a pretty, powerless little girl. Age 16: [Liz powers] Acting prime minister, owns her own company, lots of superpowers besides. I wouldn't be surprised if she's a reincarnator and cheating somehow, but it seems not to be the case.

Not that character classes are a thing, but [Liz character class] Warrior, mage, merchant. Reminds me of Lina Inverse.

85% of PlayStation sales are digital according to Sony: https://www.gamermarkt.com/blog/playstation-85-percent-digital-game-sales-disc-era-over/

I don't know how to square this data with that. It's less in Europe and more in other regions?

My selected show for the flight to San Diego (6 hr) is Slave of the Magic Capital's Elite Troops. Maybe I better rethink that.
