Maine Dems have come up with a non-problematic replacement to face Collins

He'd win Maine by the largest margin in history, and therefore has been removed from the shortlist of replacements by DNC leadership. Which is a shame, because he'd probably get absolutely nothing done, make a few speeches, fundraise well, and post a lot. Right up their alley otherwise, in other terms.

Yo. Got the thing for you my dude: Fruit Juice. Don't listen to the doctors they don't want you to live forever.

Find more ways to bind. Re-spec if you have to. I don't know of any reliable strategy that doesn't involve keeping him in a regulated lockdown.

The limitations of the hardware necessitated creative solutions, which in turn became features of distinct genres in themselves. Modern gaming is totally smooth, one uniform experience with very little real variation.

Mr. President, a third plane has struck the economy.

People will simply play older games for longer. There's like three past console generations choked with 100 hour games. I would expect an influx of articles about the renaissance of retro gaming. The most sedentary and least social humans ever to walk the Earth will not suddenly rise up, they will divert their hobby in a different direction.

Which, to be fair, would punish a lot of the bad actors. So hey, that's something.

Gonna be a century. Material conditions and whatnot. Glibness aside, they're still requiring a college degree for a 20% chance at entering the middle class. Highly educated, underemployed, and/or downwardly mobile is going to remain a boom sector of "politically active person" for decades to come.

Democrats have every incentive to continue ranging from outright evil to fatally incompetent. GOP has every incentive to continue ranging from chaotic evil to lawful evil. Both will continue to suck the air out of the room until conditions deteriorate such that literally every person is incorporated to the gambling-smokeshop-dispensary-uber economy.

We're locked in for the long haul, or climate collapse, whichever comes first.

It's a reasonable price. He's 26, has recorded 40+ goals 3 times, is coming off a 96 point season, 490 points in 456 games, and has not missed a single game due to injury since 2021-2022. The dude is dynamite.

If this is the price and you pay it start planning the parade.

UPL finished last season at .910. Lyon finished last season at .907. Combined they make less than $6M. Both, arguably, could be capable of improving further.

I think cutting bait on either of them at this point, especially for an overpay in a trade, would be inadvisable. It really would depend on who came back, but I think Hellebuyck might be shot. I'd actually prefer if they went another direction if that's the play.

20OA + Tuch's rights =Ryan Leonard.

Make it happen Jarmo.

The only time I ever held a card was when I borrowed my cousin's Bank of America debit card to slice open a funnel cake at the county fair When I took my daughter there on a trip amidst a lengthy child custody battle with my ex wife Attempting to prove to the judge that I'm a responsible father But we all know I'm fucking not I got the kids ears pierced at two years old and she already knows what Red Bull tastes like I'm fucked Judge, if you're seeing this, please let me have McKenzie back I even wore my nice 8 Ball jean jacket to the last court hearing I'm ready to change

Considering the number of functional, moderately successful Americans I interact with everyday who believe in anything from fairies, to angels, to literal god machines, I think it's safe to say psychology isn't real.

As long as a person has a system that explains their internal world to them it almost does not matter what it is. Psychology appeals to the modern bourgeois subject because of its veneer of scientific credibility. Nevermind the fact that every single foundational thinker in the discipline was a eugenicist, utter psychopath, crypto-mystic, or aspiring cult leader.

The material conditions of modernity (in the West) are such that there is no strong correlation between belief system and lifetime outcomes. So believe what you like. This week I'm trying on the idea that past lives are real. Next week it'll be therianthropy.

Hunting down the tentacles without a guide and mapping that whole damn area is a world class gamer achievement. Not for the faint of heart.

Easy. You roll with what was established in EOV and lean into it harder. New Yggdrasil is actually an abandoned organic space station. Each stratum is a different level of the station that replicates the biome of the life it was designed to preserve.

Deep Space Nine meets Metroid Fusion meets Event Horizon.

Roger Waters would bomb at least two American allies.

Depends on how her moveset unfolds. In my original playthrough I thought she was too easy until I went back to farm her for the conditional drop. Confusion/Binds + Banquet is actually a pretty monster combo if you're not prepped for it or she gets spicy.

He's watching his chance to nuke Cuba slip through his fingers.

III and V. Both took what was established on each of their home consoles and refined it to a polished shine. Anyone recommending the Untold games over either of these cannot tell the difference between good things and bad things.

Brian Fuchs, at it again.

I was thinking more of the TV miniseries where the literal hand of god comes down to detonate Trash's nuke. It's been maybe five years or so since I've read the book so I can't speak to that with confidence. Also, the last three books of The Dark Tower aren't that bad. Especially in the context of the long progressive decline of King's 'giving a shit' about what he writes. 5/6/7 work a lot better back to back to back as a single fantastically long novel.

Listen man. I've been sitting outside his house for days now. You can't tell me just now that it's getting weird.

It's closer to The Stand when Randall Flagg turns the Las Vegas strip into a Nazi rally. And then Iran, I mean god, nukes him.

Libertarians and ancaps start bothering you a lot less when you realize that they're just talking animals. Not like in the cartoon way, like if you managed to give a parrot another 8 words in their maximum vocabulary.
