You mean the guy who was looking to undue his pants when confronted with a private interview with an underaged reporter in a hotel room might be a sexual pest?

"Hang Mike Pence" back on the menu?

Still want to see enablers behind bars. Even if it's just short sentences.

"14" and "88", huh?

 

WHAT A COINCIDENCE, EH?!?

 

He's a Nazi, just like his grandfather.

There was a long time where I'd chalk that sort of stuff to unfortunate coincidence, but at this point that all seems way to obvious and transparent what they're trying to do.

Kentucky also passed a law making it so the governor can only appoint a replacement from a list approved by the outgoing senator's party. Which may run afoul of the 17th amendment, or maybe Beshear just leaves it vacant until a special election.

If you talk to a chud you may get the classic “seatbelts take more lives than they save”

Don't worry, you can buy something so that the woke notification alarm doesn't go off when you don't wear your deathbelt.

I just view this in a similar way to calling the police for a mental health crisis. They're not equipped to deal with, but nobody has a better solution. Whether you ask a teacher to keep a secret or reveal a secret, your are inserting them into a situation they are not necessarily in the best position to handle.

not uncommon for kids to live two lives. One at school with their friends or at their friend’s house, and another when at home around their parents. Sometimes the home situation isn’t as understanding as teachers and friends. 

I mean, it's one thing to have a different personality at home versus at school. But like, what name do you put on a report card? How do you expect teachers refer to the student at parent-teacher conferences?

I honestly don't understand how it's viable for a trans student to be "out" at school but not at home. Not saying schools should explicitly go out of their way to notify parents, but there's still enough communications between schools/teachers and parents that it just doesn't seem tenable to refer to a student differently in different circumstances.

JA2 is on my top 10 favorite games of all time. Stoked that they finally released a competent follow up. Hopefully the modding community will be active with this one.

Apparently the devs themselves put up a mod on the Steam Workshop to show hit chance. 

I beat Zelda last weekend so i had an opening for a game. Never played the original JA games, but played Back In Action and found it decent enough despite middling reception from fans of the series. Picked this up on a whim and have been having decent fun with it.

I honestly don't even know what a WarCraft IV would even look like at this point if they tried it. Blizzard games have such a problem where they start off with a really simple, tight, story. OG WarCraft was fucking Orcs, and fucking Humans, it was right there in the name. But all they know how to do is just make everything constantly escalate, constantly add a newer, bigger, greater threat to the point where the story of modern WoW is almost unrecognizable next to original WarCraft. Diablo was kind of the same way. Started off as just a dude going down through the floors of a church till ya got to Hell and killed ole man himself. StarCraft, by nature of being a intergalactic space war obviously starts out big in scope, so its not that big a deal, but I just don't know if I trust Blizzard's narrative chops these days.

Man, Prigozhin really fucked himself over big-time, didn't he?

Back at the start of the Russian invasion, @Commissar SFLUFAN suggested that people keep some cash safe in the house in case Russia started a wave of cyber attacks against banking and other infrastructure. That never really panned out, but I still have a few hundred bucks in a safe spot since then. Don't typically carry cash on person at all times.

Bread, maybe. Charging for water that comes out from a pipe in the wall seems like a step too far.

I also partook in the 4TB WD SSD deal. When I bought a 4080 I lost access to the second PCIe slot that I was using for a third NVME drive.

I'm also looking for a new microwave. Kinda looking at those combination convection microwaves so I can ditch my old toaster oven as well, but not sure if they're worth it.

They're at fisticuffs every few months it seems. What you mean is they're close to shooticuffs.

Rand Paul just creamed himself.

$60K is still way too much.

I bet she gets back in in a few weeks when things blow over and they'll be all like "MTG learned her lesson" when in reality nothing actually changed.

I don’t have instagram so I won’t bother. Too lazy to make a finsta just for Threads. 

I downloaded the app, saw it needed an Instagram account, deleted the app.

At 190 right now, north of Chicago. Was like 250+ yesterday. But I feel fine indoors and I have a couple air purifiers anyhow.

Polonium, not plutonium, is the radioactive poison of choice for Russia.

It's mind boggling to think that Wagner got away with killing more than a Russian pilots/aircrew and wrecking a half dozen aircraft.  

 

I imagine it's too early to conclude they "got away with." They just haven't felt the repercussions yet.

Yeah, I still have old monitor stands that go with old monitors in a big storage tub.
