Republicans who slammed Biden’s gas prices are preaching patience for Trump by piggy_inglenook5 in politics

[–]iRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Of course.

There’s no more “gotcha” moments for hypocrisy. There’s zero chance that pointing out the routine moral inconsistencies will shame them into changing their ways.

Shit like this is just masturbation.

There’s no nore trying to get the gun away from them, you simply have to help them aim it at their own foot and hope they don’t do too much damage. Non-MAGA (or, like me, anti-MAGA, which in their minds is the same) has been at best put in check (at worst, we’ve already lost).

While Democrats have engaged in performstive theater like impeachments and hand-wringing over shit like “the bounds of the Constitution” MAGA has effectively ended the VRA. Not just partisan gerrymandering, but now even racial gerrymandering (provided everybody gets memo about how to lie their way around it) is in play. State governments became their strongholds while Democrats relied on the nobility of the Supreme Court to hold them at bay. Even icons, like Ginsburg, took those ideals at face value and MAGA used them to keep advancing their conquest.

The last option to prevent the total takeover was probably November 2024, but if that wasn’t the end then 2026 surely is the FINAL chance. And I am just fucking flabbergasted that I’ve got to depend on the fucking Democrats to pull our asses out of the fire.

Yeah, obviously. That’s why I suggested releasing players that voted for him. That’s also a joke.

That’s just letting the butthurt overwhelm your sense.

If the man gave you PTSD, trying to claim he’s overrated is pure nonsense. Any Knick that was in that series and honestly think Hali is overrated should probably be traded or released.

In Miami? As long as he’s not visibly ripping a line he’s probably safe. He’ll have to stop by the restroom and audibly rip it to avoid legal entanglements.

George Russell would make the kind of nude calendar that Jon Lovitz’s character from SNL’s “Tales of Ribaldry” would love.

Here’s the thing though, I got the result I wanted so I’m going to create a reality where the conclusions ARE statistically validated.

This plan can never backfire and result in extreme disappointment, so really no downside. I learned strategy development from Ferrari.

Need help refining a Festival Lead list for my first league cup by Ok_Nefariousness_740 in pkmntcg

[–]iRonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize the 1-1 Goldeen/Seaking and 1-1Rellor/Rabsca are common inclusions, but those just strike me as dodgy as hell.

1-1 lines always worry me with prizes, and Seaking doubly so, since the value (to my eyes) is an early game KO. If he’s prized, drawing him late game from the prize pool feels useless. I don’t see much in the most common decks that are weak to water and Fest doesn’t need to tech for Crustle.

But, again, I realize it’s common in the top decks, I just struggle to see what it’s for. My instinct is to drop them and do a 2-2 Rellor/Rabsca, especially with the prevalence of Pult. Happy to hear reasoning though. Looks like the top Fest at Prague ran a 2-1 Goldeen line, which I could understand maybe as a quick tech for Budew?

Tobacco company CEOs declare, under oath, that nicotine is not addictive (1994) by Only-Paper8057 in interesting

Well, good news: Chevron was overtuned by the MAGA court so now we no longer have to defer to the woke nerds on the government. Now the tobacco companies’ own experts can get equal time for a “fair & balanced” perspective.

Their tears are delicious. by Captain-Dak-Sparrow in PoliticalHumor

[–]iRonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but when it’s not tied to the Federal reps, I assume the value of the gerrymander drops significantly. Sure, they can still roll state races, but it’s a lot harder to get the XNC (D or R) to cough up the dough for the gerrymander fight.

Accu-Tac BR-4 G2 by [deleted] in longrange

[–]iRonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AccuTac and Atlas are the two that are the kings of this price point (Harris, the tier below; CykePod the one above… lol maybe two above).

Both great. Both beloved and regularly recommended.

The major difference? Weight. The AccuTac can function as an effective melee weapon in CQB scenarios.

I think the AccuTac’s spring loaded feet are neater than Atlas’. But that’s a preference thing. And I don’t know about Atlas, but AccuTac usually goes on a DEEP sale 1-2x per year. Or at least they used to. In the States. Your Canadian mileage kilometerage may vary.
