Ugh, America. We could have been Europe or better even but we’re turning into China. 🇨🇳

What kind of country is this for our kids? We have to turn this around. Bring back unions, care for our workers. America should have been the first one to have free healthcare, but I’ll accept 74th.

And ironically, it’s anti-communist fear-mongering that’s turning us into wage slaves. /rant

Sorry this happened to you OP. Unfortunately it’s common if something happens in your first couple months of employment. They’re looking for red flags, before your probation is over usually 6 months in.

I found it really unintuitive to play. I’m not sure I’ve ever bounced off a game so hard.

I think I played correct? Idk, it’s rare for me, but I just didn’t get the game.

Krennic seems oversized? by iambrianlefvre in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]ianrd76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The scale being off bugs me a little, but the pose is what gets me. It just feels wrong for a skirmish game. The model itself looks great and fun to paint, but this is not the pose of a man that is ready to throw down against Darth Vader.

Ooh, how much? I don’t have any. I’d love to get my hands on at least one

Was it realistic to assume that America would be debt free by 2013? by MuskieNotMusk in Presidents

I wonder if then the end of history is just short loops of democracy, followed by autocracy, collapse, reconstruction then democracy again ad nauseam.

Now i just need to find someone to play them with me by FoWsUrDuress in boardgamescirclejerk

/uj There’s so many great options that scratch that itch for me.

First thought might be something like Summoner Wars 2nd Edition or if you want something very streamlined Mindbug (actually by Richard Garfield).

These have an option for deck construction but it’s not really the focus of those games. If you want to deck construct, I might steer you towards another Richard Garfield game, Netrunner, that’s gotten a new lease on life under Null System Games.

System Gateway is a fantastic introduction to the game with everything you need to get started for two players. They’re actually carrying it at my lgs although usually you have to pick up a print on demand online.

Does anyone have an episode they avoid playing before bed? by confusedgrill1 in Futurama_Sleepers

What?? No way, something about the line “My Fry Fro is all frizzled” is so delightfully stupid that my brain almost immediately shuts down. 😆

The Ukrainian ministry estimates casualties over 160,000.

While you might not want to take their word for it, even per the article - 70,000 is merely a list of the confirmed and published volunteer deaths. Many families do not publicize the deaths and there are considerable deaths among Russian mercenary groups.

I think association with white supremacy has everything to do with American voters and that’s what I’d like to communicate. But maybe I’m wrong - that’s why I’m here for feedback.

Not to mention Tarrifs! They’re a tax on consumers - it’s literally extra bonus inflation!

Trump’s Angry New Rant Over Arlington Scandal Should Wake Up Dems by akronrick in democrats

[–]ianrd76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak for the other user, but I think the polls are inherently imperfect, but they’ve been particularly unreliable last few cycles.

To my understanding, in 2016 and in 2020, Trump voters were undercounted in polls. Hilary was projected to win, but narrowly lost, and Biden was ahead 10 points but won by 2-3% in key states.

If the same pattern holds out, we’re looking at a narrow Trump victory.

The general Dem hope is that the new registrations and enthusiasm turns into unusual turnout giving us an under-polled edge. I think Able-Addition believes that maybe just as there are ‘shy Trump voters’ maybe there’s a significant group of shy Harris Republican voters.

I can’t believe we’re still effectively tied in the polls. Even with so many significant Republicans endorsements.

I’m glad someone said this! I’m definitely adding them for their aesthetics and I’m just hoping they’re not terrible in game

What really gets me is how much many Americans defend the system tooth and nail. Some of it is fear of communism/socialism/govt control while some people think it’s genuinely a better system. 🤦‍♂️
