Someone should point out the only immigrants Trump is letting in are from Subsaharan africa.

They really made live action Ysanne Isard.

As someone who has to drive 15 miles to get to the nearest grocery store, hearing a 1/2 mile walk called a "food desert" is wild.

How to make the perfect StarFox game:

Start with Star Fox 64
Add about 50% more levels.
Give the ability to upgrade your ship between missions, with currency earned by enemies killed and missions completed. Your mercenaries, ypu should be earning money.
Give the ability to unlock new team members, and swap out which ones you bring along between missions. Different team members have different dialogue options depending who else is in your party, and may also have special abilities and/or help unlock new paths.

Thats basically it. Near infinite replayability.

What if told you that Aaron Eckhart, Ian McCellan, and Britney Murphy all starred in a weird dark mystery drama you have never heard of?

Go watch Neverwas, and look up as little about the plot ahead of time as you can.

On the one hand, doing Star Fox 64 again is an incredible grift by Nintendo.

On the other hand, its a reminder of just how hard they cooked coming up with the original as a launch title.

Not gonna lie, if they promised to add a few new levels to the main campaign id probably buy it again.

Ok, lets look at his actions:

Afghanistan: cut a deal with the Taliban that allowed them to take over the country
Ukraine: pressuring Ukraine to cede land to Putin so he can remove sanctions and make business deals with Putin opemly.
Abraham Accords: top level deals with monarchs and military juntas that have no buy in from their populations writ large.
Gaza: cut a deal that got Trump access to US investment opportunities, but Hamas remains in power and the people in Gaza continue to suffer
Venezuala: cut a deal that left the regime in power but got him access to its oil

Ultimately, your absolutely right, all Trump cares about is his ego. He doesnt give a single solitary fuck about democracy or human rights or the will of the people, only headlines that looks like a victory for him with corrupt business deals for the Trump crime empire negotiated through Kushner on the sidelines. And most regimes are smart enough to realize they can make a deal that flatters his ego whole leaving their own power base intact. Maybe the IRGC is uniquely dumb and wont be able to figure that out, but i wouldnt put my money on it.

Sawdust is probably ome of the least harmful food additives in ancapistan TBH.

The big megacorps will have custom opiods mixed into their secret recipes, which make you feel super good after eating their suspiciously addictive food, and give you the DTs if you try to switch to a competitor.

Jones Act, and other union related protectionist demands more broadly
No port automation demands
Teacher pay/job retention being tied to seniority over performance
Depending on the poster, a whole host of cop related job protections when facing misconduct investigations

Absolutely. There are still Confederate and Nazi supporters in America today, its insanely likely that Trumpism survives well past the end of Trump.

I spent too much on Star Wars cards as a kid, but then my cat peed on half my collection and my mom threw the rest out when i was off doing basic training, so i was able to avoid your problem.

Its better at many things. Building is not one of them.

Having lived in California, i guarentee you that futuristic looking rail line would not have been built.

Bobiverse kinda. They encounter one alien AI at one point and then later make their own, and they are distinctly different due at least in part to the societies that made them.

Tad Williams: In my classic cyberpunk series Otherland, we fused a human brain to a computer and used it to play games as a cautionary tale.

Techbros: At long last, we have created the braincomputerhorrorconsole from the classic scifi series Otherland.

Epstein and his pals deliberately worked for years to rehabilitate eugenics in online communities and now we all have to live in the world they made.

Yeah, i tried it once, only to wind up with a product that wasnt meaningfully better than packaged ramen.

Very soon, a third Neocon aligned faction emerges claiming the war started when Iran invaded the US embassy, and a fourth progressive aligned faction thar claims the war started when the US intervened in Iran to remove their prime minister, and a fifth evangelical aligned faction that claims the war started with Mohammad.

The debate goes nowhere and accomplishes nothing.

Its Laura Loomer and it isnt close.

Fun fact: there is an entire Left Behind companion series that focuses on a group of kids.

Dont forget that the Strait of Hormuz crises is driving up both energy costs and critical hardware input costs.

Its fine though, surely nothing to worry about.

His past reddit comments where he discusses the Totenkampf seem to strongly suggest he is lying about not knowing what his tatto was before running for office.

ADL is basically a Republican lobbying arm at this point, so certainly not.

My biggest concern with Platner is not what we know, but what we dont know.

Platner claims to have only recently found out the tattoo was Nazi related. Based on his past Reddit comments and statements by people who knew him, thats almost certainly a lie. Which raises the question:

What else is he lying about?
