I saw someone call it a "DEI holiday" and I got to say the world would be a much better place if that guy choked on a phallic object. Anyways as someone who grew up maybe an hour away from Galveston, it felt weird to realize how much of the states didn't know about Juneteenth. The US memory holes quite a bit I guess. Miss Juneteenth (2020) is also probably one of the best Texas films there is.

Generally good, for the most part 5.5 is an improvement but there's still some questionable stuff like Warlocks potentially being better martials than martials and the entire Ranger class.

For a non-insignificant amount of people, that's the appeal.

At this point not really, everytime Trump folds or backtracks it's always either 4d chess or Trump has always been for it. I remember reading somewhere that the MAGAts (or whatever term you want to call the Trump crowd) wanted to conquer blue states/cities due to perceived humiliation for "losing" the protests of 2020 and it seems that is turning out to be all too correct.

Look man, I'm no Kamala stan but I doubt she'd be sending in the Marines because ICE got yelled at in front of a Home Depot.

Fake news, not enough chemicals.

I got a bottle of Eagle Rare 10 and honestly it's disappointing. Still Austin (Straight and Cask Strength) is a better pour with several people preferring it. I also cut up a watermelon and have been making watermelon margaritas, sidecars, and whiskey sours.

Yeah, after I posted that I went on Bluesky and saw Ro Khanna already did.

I think it's pretty funny that Elon and Trump are fighting like a couple of high school girls from an 2000s teen movie. If their mutual friends Ghislaine was around to mediate they'd probably make up pretty quick. Politically I guess Elon's influence is going to take a massive hit.....assuming the Democrats aren't dumb enough to try to get him into their tent.

To boot, at present the number 1 democrat in Washington is Chuck Schumer, who is pretty much Shapiro if he was a generation or so older. The idea that dems are not gonna go for white guy jews (or zionists) falls in the face of who democrat politicians actually are. It's also worth noting that out of all the options in that poll, she's the least "national" politician besides Newsom as the rest are ranking members of congress, presidents and vice presidents, and Michelle Obama. I think a big part of it is that she has a relatively small tab in the "don't know" section, likely due to an outsized focus from Republicans and "Radical Centrists" who have been infuriated and infatuated with her for years, so you know who she is. Combine this with her perceived distance from the democrat's leadership when said leadership's performance is viewed as being underwater and I can't say it's particularly surprising. However, my bet is that AOC tries to primary Schumer instead of making at go at president.

No, but you could use Toybox to make the level cap 40. You'd probably want to cheat for the Legend path if you did that though, as everyone now gets the most of its gimmick. Hitting 20 way before the end of the game wasn't a deal breaker for me. I think for me what killed WotR was BG3 tbh. The Owlfinder games were easily 90%+ combat and most of it isn't very interesting, you figure out the buff spreadsheet and hope you win initiative before archers machine gun the back line. Kinda lost interest after doing the harpy fight and doing the dice rolls to solve conflicts in BG3.

I mean this is what's baffling for me, the guy talked about tariffs every damn day for a year and you still had people shocked about "Liberation Day" tariffs. At some point you have to assume the stupid **** he says is genuinely what he believes instead of dreaming up a scenario where a dementia-addled boomer is playing 1776d chess by rambling on his twitter fork.

I think a lot of his supporters realize Trump is a conman but think that they're in on it rather than marks. All big winners of the Fell for it again award.

I think the funniest thing about Trump is that he has done more to harm his followers than anyone else and they still worship him like a golden calf.

I have never seen an episode of WoT, but of even Hurlshort is hating on it I know it's got to be bad.

With Trump hollowing out the weather service, I get the feeling the first hurricane to hit is going to take a much more severe toll than it should. The leopards await.

Frankly I think having the Loomers of the world hate you is the bare minimum. Then you do understand it. As it's used now "woke" is mostly just a term of abuse, a marginally more respectable way of saying libtarded or whatever. Of course the other times woke gets used it's a dogwhistle for some slur or another, though it's been overtaken by DEI on that front.

Per usual the adult converts are being very normal. I hear JD Vance is drowning his sorrows in CK3 marathons and spending time with the couch, if ya know what I mean. It's gonna be a minute before we can get a read on Leo 14, but while he's probably not going to be as good as Francis was at least he's not a deranged bootlicker. It could have been worse is scarce comfort but I guess I'll take it.

I think there's a good possibility that Trump just says they had an incredible talk, never been anything like it and makes a deal that is just what's been in place for decades.

I know calling these pricks hypocrites is useless but anyone in the Trump regime whining about governments restricting speech deserves nothing less than public scorn for the rest of their lives.

It's been a while but I believe I've seen it. I'll probably watch it again soon

I imagine death is a better option than spending time with JD. US (lapsed) Catholic here, you're not wrong but the caveat is we got a lot of Protestant converts who only flopped to Catholicism (or Orthodox) because it lets them be more unhinged and larp as crusaders.

Mac and cheese, ham, chicken, and other Easter stuff I ate at a family gathering. First time I did a "southern style" msc using eggs and honestly it works well for substantially less effort than making a cheese sauce like I'd typically do for a baked mac and cheese. Everyone said it was very good, but I think I should use sharp cheddar next time instead of medium because the flavor could get dialed that way a bit more. Overall this is probably going to be my go to baked mac, and I'll save the more intensive method for fancy takes.

I'll need it, looks like there's a lot of Gundam. Probably won't watch all of it though. Bit further in, like Violet Evergarden there's a Lieutenant DIO. There's also been a coup to make the regime more imperialistic and all kinds of fun ****.
