Related, but the Onion is now a more accurate news source than NYT or Washington Post. What a timeline.

The Kurds have a saying "only the mountains are our friends" because they expect to be betrayed. Trumps actions are absolutely vile and should be condemned, but the reasons for the betrayal go deeper than the buffoon currently squatting in the white house and isn't something that will be fixed by electing an ostensibly anti-war/intervention/ethnic-cleansing politico to take his place. biji biji Rojava

hahahahaha governor goodhair got thrown under the bus hahahahahaha

I think it's safe to say that doing anything special for your inlaws is dangerous and that you should keep as much distance, emotional and physical, as possible. Especially if they're in Florida.

I think that they are both worse, a Clinton presidency would have kept "centrism" alive so that the ticking bombs of climate change and class stratification wouldn't be confronted as much as they are now for example. The presidency isn't just what they do when in charge but is also how they are reacted to and of there's a silver lining to the dementia addled buffon it's that some people are realizing business as usual isn't going to work anymore.

My city made the NYT. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/02/climate/hurricane-adaptation-houston.html Where I grew up may be underwater in several decades, but Bill Koch got to build a replica of an old west town so I guess it's all worth it.

Well Bruce is the kid of a banker who lives a boujee lifestyle, so go figure.

...aren't there people doing longer stints for weed? What a country.

So if that cop who shot a guy in his own apartment gets off, does that set precedent that off duty cops can kill you on spurious grounds, like getting their apartment confused with yours, and not go to jail?

I only mentioned DOS2 because the mods it has are fairly extensive and intensive, and I don't see that for Deadfire. Honestly I don't really think (vanilla) DOS2 is a very well designed gameplay system, it's wildly unbalanced in most respects and is incredibly easy to cheese. I'd like a classless PoE to keep most of the underlying systems but 1) uncouple abilities from specific classes and put them into a general pool and 2) go to universal HP and defense table with attributes having a more significant effect. More importantly, I want steampunk Eora instead of colonial Eora so I can rob trains and shoot strikebreakers. lol I played through POE1 at launch (it was bad) and it was massively polished to where it is now. Deadfire had about a year of polishing before Turn Based Mode was added and any issues are inherent in the RTwP making me wait half an hour while heavy armor characters recover.

I hope if there is another main Pillars game it jumps forward to Eora Industrialization, significantly alters the system to be turn-based and classless, and is as mod-friendly as DOS2 is.

Not really, flat earthers don't disproportionately wield influence they use to jeopardize the entire planet while enriching themselves. If climate denialists were equivalent to flat earthers we might not be in the **** we are now.

Catholic Schools are a trip.

So Koch can spend his life spreading propaganda and directly influencing da big gubbermint in ways that will almost certainly make it harder for my (hypothetical) kids to survive in a world where food scarcity, extreme weather, and geopolitical crisis are exacerbated by rising temperatures, all so he can make more money, and the real villains are the ones who are glad he's dead? Then **** it I'm a villain.

There absolutely is something comically wrong with America, rent is out of control to the point when I was making $20 an hour (about 2.5x minimum wage) I struggled to afford a single bedroom apartment (relatively cheap) and my less fortunate friends routinely had to go back to their parent's house. Buying a house would require a massive commitment that is practically off the table for me, and I have a credit score of around 800 so I don't get screwed on interest. This is to say nothing of the various loans people end up getting saddled with or the costs of taking care of kiddos, which make prosperity even more out of reach for quite a lot of people. **** is gonna get so bad in America it's either going to need massive reform or the guillotine is coming back in style.

Take a guess what the general population of the Bahamas looks like.

Empowered Strikes + Missle Salvo.

How difficult would it be to tie resource regeneration to stuff like downgraded/upgraded attacks or team attacks with animal companions? Because the idea fits thematically, which is good, but seems to look like it could be messy in implementation or end up being only situationally useful (which is already true of +x resources on kill).

Oh **** what happened?

At this point I can barely differentiate between the trolls that have graced this forum.

Who?

A real power move would have been to include David Koch.

It depends on the candidate he runs against and if he manages to **** something up around the time of the election. And while the economy might not have gone nuclear it's in a precarious position with real wages being stagnant and rent prices becoming ridiculously high so that could blow up any moment.

Lol, Sauron couldn't stop a couple of shortys from destroying his ring despite having an evil of army of doom, Sauruman had his schemes foiled at every turn, Palpatine got thrown down a shaft by a guy he thought was loyal and had his empire destroyed by some rebels and carebears, Vader managed to miss that he had a kid for 2 decades and then turncoated, Aliens are dumb and only know how to kill and reproduce, and the Preadators routinely get beat by less impressive physical specimens with primitive technology. The point of all this isn't to flex basic scifi/fantasy knowledge, but to point out how competency is usually an illusion based more upon aesthetic and demeanor than proficiency.

The Naked Director. Normally tv sex makes me feel embarrassed, but this ended up being funny more than anything. I'd reccomend it for the nsfw folks, but make sure netflix doesn't set your audio to the dub because it's creepy.
