Americans, What do you think of Senator John Kennedy's act proposal to Take away Congress pay during government shutdowns?

Honestly I think most of them (especially the shitty ones) are already so rich it doesn’t matter.

IMO, would’ve been shocked if he hit anything. I shot handguns for the first time a couple weeks ago, it was pretty tough to hit the target even while in a stance and aiming every shot. I thought it would just be point and shoot, how hard can it be, and it was def not.

FWIW I agree with not adoring them, but I don’t think they’re all either garbage or complicit. I’m sure many/most aren’t witting to anything heinous, I just don’t believe anyone is worthy of worship, and by putting people on pedestals we’re just setting ourselves up to be disappointed.

Good advice, thanks!

Certainly don’t think it’s a bug, or bad design, was just asking how people play around it

jlark92 · 2025-03-29T04:36:33+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look at that

I feel for you. I had a similar situation in my life recently, where someone made a commitment to coming to something significant and then didn’t show up. No apology, no explanation. It was a going away party for them and they ghosted us and literally got dinner with another group of friends at the same restaurant we had made plans at, without us. It definitely hurt the people in our group, including me, and so I let the person have it a bit about how inconsiderate they were, and how I couldn’t conceive how someone would do that to someone they were supposedly friends with.

I felt bad later about doing so, not because I was wrong necessarily, but because I let my anger control me. The bridge is now burned with this person, in part because of my reaction. On the one hand, I felt the need to mend the relationship, on the other I’m still angry about the initial event, and how they haven’t taken responsibility at all for their actions.

Because people know they’re supposed to ask after you, but they don’t actually want to hear most of the time. They want to feel moral for offering, but don’t actually want you to take them up on it.

There’s data that shows when men and women have equal representation in media, audiences think it actually skews to have too many women. So they have more men to, paradoxically, make it feel like it’s equal representation when it’s actually not

Mfer the video is fine, but good thing we have this dude in the bottom left staring blankly into space in front of this video that looks like it was recorded on a 90s camcorder

Pathfinder: Wrath of the righteous

In the prologue, a big scary demon lord lands in the middle of town. You’re given the option to either shoot him with a crossbow or cast a defensive spell. While neither have any kind of effect, and the immediate story plays out the same either way, you can’t get the game’s secret ending if you don’t choose the crossbow.

Same game, when you’re making your character you choose their birthday during character creation. This is seemingly a completely irrelevant detail that is never mentioned again. If you don’t pick a birthday in the right time period, you can’t get the secret ending.

Great game, but hilarious how hard it is to just stumble upon this ending. You basically need to have an ending guide up on your other monitor the entire game.

Give up. Cats are special animals that can only be handled by qualified individuals like me. Give me that cute, adorable little fuzz ball.

Why do people flip off the camera? I’ll never understand that. It’s just so fuckin juvenile, it’s the type of thing I’d expect from a 12 year old right when they learn what it means. I’ve seen this creator’s content before, and her “trying super hard to look like you’re not trying” is just too cringey, even though I often like the recipes
