That requires a bar to hold the democrats too, and right now that bar is dolled up in orange spray paint and lieing on the floor somewhere. The issue for the modern america is to resolve the spoiler effect. Without a third party there is no “voting in favor” of someone there is “voting against” someone else.

You would think they could add an induction charger and actually make it “magic”-ly charge.

This is exactly what happened last time. When Europe did that whole colonize everything shit the first groups were government funded expiditions and the second groups were religious minorities who were too “extra” for the rest of their country.

This is exactly how we got Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

US owner of an EU Fairphone 4. It is functionally locked to T-mobile due to AT&T not wanting unlocked devices on their network and the 5G bands dont always line up correctly so calls while driving are tricky. Beyond that, I love the device and can do that cool party trick where you can take out your battery and everyone stares in awe at my organic, free-range smart phone. (That part is a lie, I dont go to parties).

Joking asside, I like having an attempt at an ethically sourced phone, even though it is a finicky device. There is a US redistributor and they sell a model with region appropriate changes and a de-googled cloud backup service, but im not in the market for replacing this thing yet.

Oh, but I want a number. Its important for my bingo card.

1. you didn’t read the post you are replying to.

2. your stance is irritatingly naive.

If pro-palestine single-issue voters sink the Harris ticket there is a real chance they wont get to vote again. If perfection is allowed to be the enemy of progress you will inadvertantly elect the regressive party. A party helmed by a guy who has said publicly on multiple interviews he would sic the national guard or military on protestors, undesierables and political rivals.

It is frustrating to have to keep going over this, either the correct choice is made by the US citizenry and the status-quo continues (as poor as that may be) or the guard rails of democracy are dismantled by a wanabe dictator and your prefrences wont be asked of you again.

Well you see, the Vikings discovered Iceland and Greenland and named them accordingly.

My dream is that if the nordic league ever develops a space program and creates a colony on mars, they should name it Blueland just to keep up with the bit.

Abstaining is the pinical of lazyness, it is my opinion that those who do not participate give up their right to complain about politics until the next election. If you like none of the candidates write in Batman, spoil your ballot by drawing dicks on it, I dont care, you showed up and that alone is the important part.

And before you what-about-ism areas where voter supression is happening or heavily gerrymandered districts? Yes, this is a problem that must be fixed, but not participating also dosent help that either.

That is one way to stop junk mail…

They used to be contained, every village has their idiot. Now that the internet is the global village, all the formerly isolated idiots have a place to chat.

Because when the Republicans are in power they fall in line, when Democrats are in power they fall in love.

To explain that last bit, Democrat candidates tend to have more direct goals, more local or state policies or projects they would like to enact. So everyone of them arrives in DC with something they are trying to do, and nothing usually happens as it requires the party to agree on it. Gathering the will to collectivly push past the GOP is usually too high of a barrier for most modest bills, especially when they are being extra obstructionist.

The games are a sequle, CDPR got the rights to make a game based on the IP in the early 2000s and just did their own thing.

W1 was a bit rough, plot wise it tried to incorporate a lot of the existing world but played the amnesia card so everyone had to explain shit to Geralt (and by extension the player).

W2 is a direct follow up to W1 and put CDPR on the world stage by being the high water mark for graphics requirements around 2010. Still a very good game, a bit on rails for modern standards, but still fantastic for how it handles branching paths.

W3 + DLC won all the awards in their respective release years for a reason, they are magnificent and with CDPR spending 15 years in the IP they make tons of call backs to the books without the players feeling like they are missing something if you didnt read them.

There are 2 (ok… 4) TV shows.

The netflix shows starring Henry Cavil, king of the nerds, (who is being recast by the least hot hemsworth because netlfix pissed off the books biggest fan) and what ever that second one was that we dont talk about (There is also an anime, which is pretty good) and the Hexer, a made-for-TV low budget show that loosly follows the plot of the early books, it in polish and I dont think it was ever dubbed (I managed to find it with subtitles years ago).

I know this is more than you asked for but, enjoy the games, enjoy the books, be aware of the fan opinions of the shows.

Death of the Author is tricky…

Atleast I have chicken…

Oh… So thats where that who-hash came from. One of my co-workers mentioned that yesterday, and I had to pause “That isnt how FEMA works. Where did that come from?”. It makes depressing sense now…

Im upgrading my rook to a hotel.

Dont forget the DLCs, both won awards independently of the base game.

No officer, its “Hi, how are you”.

[Internet High-Five] Yah, tony’s is great.

EvE expert here, in addition to this, safe spots are created by warping between two points and using the “save bookmark” feature to drop a pin mid-warp. You then turn the ship around to warp to the empty location you saved. Making multiple safe spots and warping between them will drag you away from common warp vectors and celestial object allowing for some truly remote locations. This is important for being able to run and hide until your aggression or log-off timers expire (without a cloaking device).

Back in the day there were exploits that would allow people to throw themselves more than ~14 AU away from objects you could warp to and make safe spots. Most of these have been removed from the game but the ones that remain are golden tactical tools for Fleet Commanders and are worth a ton to keep secret.
