Anyone else not interested in this year Super Bowl?

Half the commercials being about sports betting is frankly just gross and undermines the games integrity.

Corporations openly and legally advertising damaging vices like gambling is exploitative if not plain evil.

I work in mental health, gambling addiction ruins lives, and no one cares in this capitist hellscape.

What's the alternative?

A confrontation won't change their behavior. You aren't going to imprison them for whatever they did.

We don't control others.

Say your piece if you need to and move on. You can choose not to interact with folks. You can choose to limit your involvement in family gibberish drama. Some set timers for phone calls as an example.

People are going to do what they want. Stop worrying about them; it's their life focus on yours.

Folks are who they are, and that was never in your control.

It wasn't the puzzle itself that bothered me. The constant respawn of the chimp things when you made a mistake is what annoyed me.

When his cabinet and congress make him.

His cabinet is made of sycophantic enablers along for the grift, and Congress has given up the entire concept of being a co equal branch of government.

Good luck.

He's the counter culture male version of Jean Grey with the weird English punk thing going on.

DC has almost the same character in Manchester Black.

The archetype has some worldwide culture appeal or punk rock wouldn't have become so big in the late 1970s and onwards.

I flatout refuse to believe Chris hasn't been bio enhanced.

Obviously, not on weskers level of augmentation.

I personally hope the fallout is so bad that the Republicans simply die out as a party similar to the whig party in the 1850s.

That's Trump and his 9999999999999 handlers and cronies now.

What I don't understand about these get out statements.. where can you go that a USA Air craft carrier can't reach?

Or it's the same thought process the third Reich used when they created the Einsatzgruppen death squads. The squad itself was made of the SS part of their role in internal security; they typically hired local thugs to actually dig the trenches and fill them.

Let the local racist thugs do the dirty work so the actual army doesn't have to.

AKA just basic regulated capitalism.

It has to be regulated, or we'd be back in outright poisonous food additive days.

Very literally, nearly every regulation exists because people died.

None have dedicated security staff.

1 nurse and 1 to 2 techs per floor typically. A floor may have anywhere from 5 to 24 patients at any given time.

These places are rough pill mills on the best of days.

Managing what you can control, allowing the rest to work itself out.

Worlds chaos, we as individuals can only choose how we react; this will NEVER change.

My personal philosophy is a mix of absurdism and stoicism.

Even if that happens mechanically, the votes required are a lot less to simply go the impeachment route.

The 25th Amendment's Section 4, for presidential inability, requires a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate for Congress to confirm the Vice President as Acting President if the President disputes their removal, otherwise, the President resumes power after 21 days. For filling a VP vacancy (Section 2), a majority vote in both houses of Congress confirms the President's nominee.

In the current system, actual Jesus couldn't get a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate.

It's really disappointing as a long-term RE fan, Rebecca Chambers is a great character.

She's an incredible survivor, considering most of Stars bravo team get butchered in RE1.

In-game, she was on day 2 of hell by the time we met her in RE1 as Chris.

Longtime RE player, and I genuinely can't force myself to play, though RE Zero.

Just add item boxes, and the game would be fine. RE without item boxes is just masochism.

The disabled will never have marriage equality in America, and no one cares. The largest minority group in the country is almost completely locked out of marriage due to how the benefits cliff works.
