Whew, won by the skin of their teeth. It's always a battle against the Rams.

the point is to trigger the libs. if you comment, then they laugh at you being owned. maga exists because trump gave people an outlet for their outrage and grievance. maga doesn't need grocery prices lowered or reasonable health care anywhere near as much as they want their neighbor's cow to die and for libs to be owned. HA! Good Fun!

possible more terrible than when we first began recommending boardies read fox story comments more than five years past, the maga movement has shifted distinctly... we were 'bout to say "right," but the truth is the direction taken is unhinged. fox remains the most popular news source for the US populace. period. however, much o' maga and other trump supporters consider fox too woke. most candice owns and nick fuentes content is too extreme for fox. benny johnson and matt walsh is fact-free and controversial enough so that their being given regular gigs on fox is current impossible. and, God help us, am wondering how many young trump voters is more influenced by the tate brothers than brett baier. in 2026, fox is the relative safe space for people attempting to gauge what maga believes as 'posed to what might be gleaned from polls. even so, at least once a week, or whenever something terrible happens (daily?) we go to fox and read stories. we then scroll through the comments following those stories to see how the issues is resonating with people who follow news at the country's most popular news outlet. disquieting. npr and pbs stories is all fake news and anybody who quotes those sources is sheeple... though am suspecting sheeple is now a boomer shibboleth. anybody know what is the genz version o' sheeple? HA! Good Fun!

https://www.salon.com/2026/01/25/those-rights-dont-count-bovino-says-pretti-forfeited-2nd-amendment-rights-in-fatal-shooting/ Wish someone would ask Bovino what's with his cosplay.

pants on fire "And on Pahlavi, taking the first ten search engine results for reza pahlavi (exc wikipedia/ brittanica and revapahlavi.org) over the past four days," followed by a list o' quotes. that ain't context and it is all you said. well, the underlined part is true. he is getting almost no meaningful coverage whatsoever. iran+protests yields no pahlavi returns for lede or headline from the first 120 results. even when iranian tv gots shut down by hackers who support him, or when he gave an hour long news conferences, you wouldn't know about such unless you were active already looking for pahlavi. furthermore, fact that pahlavi is the only opposition leader who has received appreciable coverage doesn't mean he is getting the "embiggen" treatment from western media. after all, pahlavi is the only opposition leader getting appreciable coverage from non-wester media as well. duh. as already observed, as with blm and hong kong, these movements don't need leaders. pahalavi gets coverage (dwindling and pathetic as 'posed to an effort to embiggen,) 'cause there aren't other options. the coverage he is getting (as evidenced in the articles you failed to link and attribute) is equivocal and ambivalent about pahlavi's real relevance to the current iranian movement, a reality you purposeful and deceitful ignored... a fact apparent if you bothered to read the articles you generated with your search. so, lazy or liar? and around we go. HA! coming from the clown who has been focused on your clownish idiotic lede and summary definitions schtick for how many posts? serious, this is always entertaining, even if the returns diminish quick. HA! Good Fun!

It's more of an inevitable than a predictable. Doesn't even really need to be conservative though, at least as a political designation. To whit: centrist darling Emmanuel Macron and his approach after the 2024 French elections. He pretty clearly would have preferred to work with the far right over the left, if he had to work with one.

You were given the context. Saying you weren't doesn't change that. Again, that is how you indicate a trend; it's not by cherry picking results nor by doing a general search for, lol, iran + protests. The trend about Pahlavi's coverage is clear as it's also clear that he's the only Iranian opposition leader that has had any appreciable coverage at all. I cannot say I'm surprised that you don't know how to indicate a trend though, given our previous interactions. It's not particularly rigorous but it's easily replicable- and to be blunt, you simply aren't worth the effort required for proper rigour nor for quoting of ten fricking articles. Whatever is provided I know you'd just go off on a tangent and end up repeating the same thing over and over in the hope I'll give up; so it's a waste of time.

Happy Belated to Razor1911

I vote for the Black Company.

Thinking about starting Black Company or Broken Earth. Also want to get this https://www.dragonsteelbooks.com/collections/leatherbound-books/products/the-eye-of-the-world-leatherbound. But I don't to pay something like 350 euros for it... Need to find a mule to get it to me from the US.

Finished the Bane trilogy, decent enough Star Wars books. Some Kotor DS like edginess, but the girl getting her cousin killed was a twist I admittedly didn't expect -was expecting him to be a redeemer in the final book. Big body count as well

Second mini arc starts with Frieren beeing in a rather uncharacteristic hurry, rushing through shopping and skipping magic stores entirely to get out of the city (poor Stark!) The local nobility has a problem hanging on to their family heirloom, a sword that once belonged to a famous demon. Now it has been stolen for the second time in only a handful of generations and Count Dach asks Frieren to help him hunt down the demon thief and retrieve the sword. Frieren reluctantly agrees (the reason she was in such a hurry was to avoid the count, as she seems to have some resentment towards noblemen) They track the demon by following the trail of devastation. Bloodied apples and wrecked merchant carts, wrecked villages... No corpses anywhere though, as demons have a weird preference for human flesh (maybe it tastes like chicken?) A brief but hectic fight scene ensues. The demon may be alone, but she moves very fast and dodges incoming magic attacks Stark steps between the demon and Fern, and with a powerful kick to the stomach sends the demon flying backwards... With the physical separation between the Demon and then Stark and Fern, it's time for Frieren to carpet bomb the area to force the Demon to stay put I see a bright light... might as well have been the oncoming express train One tactical nuke later and it's over Followed by musings by Frieren on the nature of demons and their obsession with showing off when they get new toys, as well as human weaknesses when it comes to desire, temptation and impulses. Demons like to go on a rampage to show off newfound strength (like when stealing fancy swords) In the end though, she thought the whole thing worth it, as the count gave a her a grimoire with a spell she didn't have

Frieren season 2, episode 2. Like several episodes in season 1, this is two "mini arcs", fleshing out the history of the world of Frieren. First arc tells the story of "The Hero of the South". They take on a task to clean a statue and much to Starks surprise, it isn't a statue of Himmel this time Frieren tells the story of The Hero of the South, the strongest hero of humanity and how he took on not just one, but all 7 Sags of Destruction and the Demon Kings confidante, Schlacht the Omniscient simultaneously His "strongest hero of humanity" wasn't just a boast and Frieren has a flashback to how she met the guy He tried to recruit Frieren to help him fight the Demon King, and reveals he already knew she would turn him down. As for how he knew, because he had the gift of knowing the future. He knows he will die fighting the sages and the the Demon Kings main henchman in one years time, but he will kill 3 of the sages in addition to Schlacht, clearing a path for the young hero that comes after him, to finish the job. Frieren is characteristacally unimpressed by anything that goes on around her and has a hard time beliveing some young hero would actually manage to convince her. At first he thinks that Frieren doesn't believe him... He was a hero indeed, going out in a blaze of glory (and blazing a trail for Himmel and his party).

Someone really should have wasted Rittenhouse, I guess.

I think so, but to be honest I haven't looked at it in detail and also didn't test it as much as I did with most of the other weapons we mentioned. Very nice!

This! Some years ago, I watched the occasional Fox news articles and some Fox youtube videos (to avoid the echo chamber thing). I seriously thought at first, that I was watching some surreal satire in the comments sections until I realized those people actually believed what they wrote. Made me despair for the state of the world.

After not being able to find a solution, I asked AI, Microsoft Copilot. I described the problem much like I did above and got a very specific answer. It is a known issue. The solution is to get into the vent by being diagonal to it as you move rather than straight on. Here's exactly what it said and it worked: 1. Stand slightly to the left or right of the vent opening. 2. Crouch first (don’t rely on auto‑crouch). 3. While crouched, move diagonally into the vent—almost like you’re scraping along the wall. 4. Once your head clips under the lip, the game “grabs” you and pulls you into the crawlspace.

that is a concern, but am gonna point out that the administration's gaslighting efforts has been so successful, they may not feel any need to rely on ai or make ai claims as a defense. https://www.facebook.com/RiseUpAndResist/videos/bash-you-said-he-wanted-to-massacre-law-enforcement-what-evidence-do-you-have-th/1532399077827566/ trump supporters watching fox, oan, news max and countless maga sites is seeing video and they is glomping onto the narrative offered by trump, steven miller, kristi noem and greg bovino. have mentioned previous how reading stories at fox doesn't provide much insight, but reading the reader comments following the stories does. us v. them. HA! Good Fun!

am gonna admit to being pleasant surprised that at least a few (admitted too few) o' the no compromise second amendment advocates has been more reasonable than our more notorious board pundits. and HA! Good Fun!

Played through Bloodborne again. Well, almost. Didn't do Gehrman yet, but the DLC is done. Took me over an hour again to beat the orphan of Kos (or some say... Kosm). First phase is for sure a lot harder than the 2nd one. First one needs a lot of patience and some luck. 2nd phase is pretty much just "dodge into him" and don't drain your stamina too fast. After that, I went a little bit into Elden Ring again. Haven't finished the DLC yet, still lots of content for that one. But damn, the game is visually just beautiful.

Haha I didn't know this. I guess I am going to have to console Eder into a monk in every playthrough now... Speaking of multi-hit weapons, does Ball and Chain give 3 chances for Swift Flurry/HBD per attack when it crits with Crushing Yoke and Subjugation? I am looking at Crushing Yoke in the exported JSONs right now and I didn't realize it launches an attack in basically the same way Mohora Tanga does. If so, there is only a ~12.5% chance that it doesn't trigger at least one proc. That's pretty great.

I figured I would test it more and sure enough crashed my game almost immediately with Stunning Blow and MT in the offhand. Just had to add a bunch more accuracy - I don't think I was quite high enough to truly go infinite on PotD with modded extra upscaling. Also, I had Seeker's Fang in my main hand for my last playthrough on a transcendent, so I think the giant raw damage was killing all the low-fortitude weaklings before MT even hit them (so maybe the consistent order of hits with full attack abilities does matter in some contexts). Currently making a "safety valve" mod that does not interfere with the self-proc, but prevents the infinite loop. By setting `MaxTriggerCount` to a finite number I think it may stop the loop from going infinite. I just one-handed MT hit a dummy three times in a row and my game did not crash. It hangs for a bit, but the loop does stop even when every Red Flag Flying hit is a crit. I need to tune the value a bit to see if I can cut the loop off earlier. At `MaxTriggerCount: 30` it still overflows the combat log before stopping itself and hangs for a good second or two.

Ok, I've now seen the modern version of The Running Man. It was ok, as such things go. Not a very good film, really, but at least it did feel more like it actually used the book as inspiration. The main chr/actor tho - I was assuming the uber angry/max bad temper posture/walk/expression was intentional, and it didn't work. It was like a bad SNL angry-man satire. The pacing/editing killed it, like many things these days. I mean, I felt more attachment to everything going on (and chrs) in ye old Lethal Weapon series. These days it's just set piece after set piece sewn together with nylon threads. Edit: actually, a lot of stuff these days feels akin to doing a TikTok scroll pattern. "Set piece", finger-scroll, "Set piece", finger scroll. Makes sense I suppose. 2nd Edit: I saw Matt Damon/Ben Affleck's interview re: Netflix asking them to put a huge action sequence in the 1st 5 minutes to keep phone-users attention at the start, and they made it sound like that's a totally new thing/ruining movies. Matrix? Bond, sometimes? It's more how it's done - plus whether the film makes that 1st attention grabber worth the rest of the time, to the end.

It's Costco day. Which is where one spends a silly amount of money, to supposedly save money. At least we've never left CostCo with a giant inflatable boat or $5k patio set. Wouldn't fit in the car, anyway.

That sounds like a positioning or animation offset bug rather than something you did wrong. Stuff like this usually happens when the interaction point on the furniture doesn’t line up correctly, especially on consoles. Try picking up and placing the lounger again on a flat surface, or rotating it and reloading the area. A full restart can also reset animation sync issues. If it keeps happening, it’s probably a known Xbox Series S glitch and worth reporting, since it’s more visual than gameplay-breaking.
