  1. Iirc, I downloaded the latest patch manually back when I installed it.
  2. While the increased debt is a huge problem of many in this bill, it seems like it's the medicaid cuts that will be most disastrous. Obviously it will have direct consequences for the millions who depend on it to survive, but that's just the start, rural hospitals also depend on medicaid money to run at all, and the cuts will mean large areas of the US without access to any healthcare. Additionally, healthcare is the largest employment sector in the US and medicaid is one of the main sources of financing for the industry. So the economic consequences will also be catastrophic. Fun times for Americans, especially in MAGA land.
  3. 78 to 87 may just have been the best Marvel ever was in the 20th century.
  4. Barock Oboma sounds like the name of a fictional black character in a Japanese fighting game.
  5. Imagine, his name could join a list of peace proponents that includes Yasser Arafat and Henry Kissinger.
  6. It's not an epiphany, though. The clip is years old. So that's what he said years before the second election of Donald Trump. Which means it is just evidence that Rogan is a truly reprehensible human being.
  7. What the Israelis preempted was Netanyahu's government going down. He is safe again, thanks to the attack.
  8. Alex Padilla, US senator getting cuffed for speaking over Kristi Noem. Just perfectly normal, as bad as any other administration. It would be great if people in positions of power started pushing back against the Trump administration . Edit: And here's the Noem quote that should be getting alarm bells. "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
  9. Just no, man. Really GD, maybe you should take your old "both sides are the same" canard, and apply the quote in your signature to it.
  10. Is this a poll of strategists, or just Dem voters? It makes perfect sense that voters would go for someone like Buttigieg or AOC. They want a break with the establishment, that people like Biden, Harris or Newsom represent. Electability is an entirely different question, of course, but what voters want is someone who would actually represent their views. Someone like AOC would be that.
  11. People will rightfully mention their favourite comics by Peter David, but the thing about him is that he wrote comics on a monthly basis for over 40 years at a level of quality that even other acclaimed writers can only dream of. Just for Marvel he wrote over 800 comics, quite a few of which were all time classics, and almost all of them were quality, well done comics. Plenty of rightly acclaimed writers struggle to put out consistently good scripts for even two or three years. He did it from the 80s until he passed away. That he had to die in medical debt is a disgrace and Marvel/Disney can go and
  12. I'd say more than 15 years old, at least. The whole false equivalence bit is probably a fundamental part of his self, so it will never, ever change. Expecting GD to think differently in that respect is akin to expecting his eye color to change, or something.
  13. The Oblivion gates were the lowest point of the original game, and a game filled with low points, to boot. Are they less terrible in the remaster? Recently I've been playing Blue Prince, which is loads of fun.
  14. He delivered, specifically, on negative things. So that's what we talk about. Promises and commitments with wildly negative consequences.
  15. In other news, USA now such a terrible destination that Mexicans prefer life under the cartels.
  16. Simple question : Constitutional crisis right now, yay or nay? Less simple question : How bad is it right now for the rule of law in the US, by your estimation?
  17. Despite a long and storied history of eyeballing everything, today I weighed the gnocchi before cooking.
