  1. Nobody says "you would know if it was intentional" when it wasn't actually intentional.
  2. People are way too fucking precious about their vote. The vote is a statement of preference of one candidate over the other, not a statement of support of every single policy position they hold. You can vote for a less than ideal candidate one day and use the other 364 days a year to press and advocate on those positions you have an issue with.
  3. Why is it just called "Fan Expo?" That is like the least descriptive name for a convention ever.
  4. This has been the case with every one of my trips. My ankles become swollen like a menopausal woman.
  5. Honestly, I do hear loud "bangs" from time to time and I never actually know if they're gunshots or fireworks.
  6. What is the actual mechanism for which the vote for Speaker goes to the House floor?
  7. Yeah, I have something like $4500 saved up in UR points that can be used for travel. Worth a bit less if I cash it out. Some people are crazy with optimizing credit card rewards if you ever check out r/churning.
  8. The points dividend was something they offered a long time ago when they first started the card but was also like the first benefit they dropped. I'm shocked they brought it back again. I'm fairly deep in the Ultimate Rewards ecosystem and have four cards that I use. Sapphire Reserved being the primary, a basic card, and two business cards. I tend to apply for a new card whenever I have a large purchase coming up to take advantage of any sign up bonuses.
  9. I don't think I've ever seen Gym in a suit jacket before. He always lets those guns free.
  10. 1000+ is what you'd see in a high volume store, but I'd say the average (at least from my perspective at Walgreens) is between 500-700.
  11. After about 35-40 hours into playthrough number 2 I finally started on the DLC stuff. Loved the game first time around, been loving it so far on the second go-through. I'm sure the Dogtown stuff will pick up soon, but something about it felt a bit "off." Felt they could have eased into it better rather than just having Songbird call your randomly after you do a specific story quest. I know it'd be tough to integrate it into the base game, but more buildup of Dogtown and who Songbird is or what she's doing rather than just infodump as you start the quest.
  12. My mom was a pharmacy tech for 30ish years at a grocery pharmacy and finally retired a couple months ago. She decided to retire early because she just couldn't bother with the stress anymore. I'm sure I've mentioned it somewhere, but I work for Walgreens and it's pretty obvious that things aren't going so hot for the company as a whole. We literally just announced our new CEO on Tuesday, and still have openings in the CIO and CFO positions, possibly other c-suite positions as well, hard to keep track of that shit.
  13. What if a bunch of GOP congressmen are standing outside the House chambers discussing what they're going to do and one guy just yells out "HAKEEEEEM JEFFERIESSSSS" like Leroy Jenkins and runs in and starts a vote for Speaker. Everyone is so confused and Jefferies is voted Speaker.
  14. Republicans can't lead. They won't follow. They need to just get out of the way.
  15. Why would anyone want to save Menendez? Just give him the boot at let the Governor appoint a replacement.
  16. That's one thing I noticed every trip to Japan is that my feet and ankles take a harsh pounding. Can barely walk after a few days. Ankle braces and ibuprofen help a ton.
  17. Nintendo Osaka store was so goddamn expensive. Like $40 for just a T-shirt with the Nintendo logo with "Osaka" under it.
  18. George Santos has released a statement indicating he has already fought the charged and they've all been dropped.
  19. Yeah, but McCarthy has to be voted back in as the Speaker first. Does he have the votes for that again? Is there any concession he could possibly make to Gaetz and his flunkies? Because Lord knows he would never ask Dems for help.
  20. Those that voted him out last week, what sort of scenario would they ever make them willing to change their mind? 96% of the conference wasn't enough to save him last time.
