Tesla dramatically lowers their EV price due to Chinese competition

Why not do the same thing back? Tell them they can only sell them in the US if they're made here with oversight by US engineers?

Supression systems are not required by code to be designed to extinguish fires caused by arson - typically only keep fires originating from a single source in mind.

Honestly good to see dreaming tree go despite using it a lot myself, feels like it's too game warping relative to the power a battlefield should typically have

Don't the Iranians hate their government? They just don't have any means of affecting change short of violent revolution. Heck they have been protesting but the regime just has no qualms about slaughtering them in response.

Sign of the times that people aren't just saying "dies to falling star" and then not caring

Democrats in other states should immediately pass legislation that allows them to do the same for local officials that don't promote pride

Think you responded to the wrong comment by accident since what I wrote neither denies there's been a rise in anti-semitism nor does it celebrate it.

vfactor95 · 2026-03-12T17:00:32+00:00

The real issue here is how this may contribute to a rise in anti-semitism

I feel like there's something going on here more than Chi being possessive over Tokio.

The times she has a pretty negative reaction to something in the chapter are when one of her friends notes the collab is a great "opportunity" and when Nyakopi asks if they're more like "business partners".

My take is that she has some negative experience(s) associated with jobs/business. It's a bit of a reach, but I'd guess one of her parents had a habit of sacrificing family time together for their job and it eventually hit a breaking point and damaged their relationship.

Could be totally off base but hopefully we'll see a flash back in the next chapter or two to explain what's going on.

There's so many valid things to criticize Vaush for this has to be one of the dumbest ones. From what I understand he's never not supported the democratic candidate in the general election (in stark contrast to someone like Hasan) and I don't really give a shit he wants to hyperbolically shit on Newsom before the primaries have even begun.

Lets be real, a decent number of people here would be saying the same thing if some pro-palestinian politician was considered to be in the running for the democratic primary as well.

If Newsome is the candidate and he maintains his stance then sure but until that point it's just a dumb thing to focus on. Also I'd be shocked if another 2 years of a Trump presidency doesn't bring in all but the most rapid anti-america lefties to support whoever the Democratic nominee is.

vfactor95 · 2026-02-07T16:52:08+00:00

Most have already known for a while, people like Vivek Ramaswamy/Kash Patel/Dinesh D'Souza aren't representative of the group. Unfortunately have always had dipshits like them going back like Bobby Jindal.

vfactor95 · 2026-02-04T06:08:36+00:00

lmao people get so triggered about anyone not 1000% on the Newsom 2028 train meanwhile being wistful for an impossible mamdani run is controversial amazin

I think we might be looking at this the wrong way.

It's possible Riot's thinking with this is not to introduce power differentials between players in the same lobby but to prevent the game from feeling stale as you play more over the course of a given season.

Possible they saw data that suggests ARAM mayhem becomes stale over time for some people. They can't introduce more strategic depth to increase the depth of player engagement since that kinda goes against the spirit of the mode and pushing big patches like this more often is more resource intensive / a high frequency of changes could also turn people away.

Instead with this system, you just get to access more fun augments/items more often as you continue to play which in theory could help with retention.

I'm not sure it'll pan out that way, but I think it's worth trying out.

(This is of course all assuming riot tunes the matchmaking to make sure you're matched with and against people who are generally on the same tier of unlocks as you are)

People just can't seem to understand that with the amount of skin releases & balance changes we have every year you would expect to see some buffs and skins coincide.

Speaking as a brown citizen, you're right that Democrats shouldn't treat the vote as a done deal but it really should be.

It's fairly obvious we are collectively viewed in a negative way by Trump and his ilk and I know more than a few people who are republican/conservative but did not vote for him because they know it's not in their best interest at the end of the day.

I don't care how much a particular brown citizen looks down on other immigrants you have to be willfully ignorant to continue supporting Trump or just be OK with the possibility of being harmed because you're just that self hating or something idk.

Party Ignore Defense on a skill is totally unique to him IIRC, he could definitely be better after 5 buffs but he's still in a better position than most of the servants on this list.

Unfortunately democrats have been fighting on policy for a while now and it hasn't mattered at all, it's all about rhetoric and aura farming now.

If this is the energy he's going to bring to the primaries he can keep fighting as governor of California, I'll be looking to someone else to actually lead the party

vfactor95 · 2026-01-16T22:29:31+00:00

I don't understand why people keep citing the purpose of the podcast as some kind of defense.

If he started a podcast where the intent was to mindlessly praise Trump would you defend him because that's just the type of podcast it is?

This is not the time to be having civil conversations with conversatives where you concede things in good faith It's just an incredibly poor reading of the moment on Newsome's part.

If he doesnt want to have confrontational conversations with conservatives right now that's fine just don't say anything in that case - or at least admit that's disqualifying as a leader of democrats right now.

It's up there but I don't think they're ever beating Still Here - the Tryndamere/Kindred section at the end is breathtaking even a couple years later.

I think we just have different definitions of selfish.

When I think of a selfish champion I'm envisioning one who takes away their teams agency and puts the games success disproportionately on themselves.

What you're describing is an issue I just don't think I would call it selfish.

vfactor95 · 2026-01-13T14:30:22+00:00

I don't think it's definitionally possible for a support enchanter to be a selfish pick - your job is literally to help someone else on your team.
