The All Things Political Topic - Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence
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.

The New Drinking Thread
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.

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.

What are you Playing Now? - the man sez Video games are bad for you - fight the man!
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 have never seen an episode of WoT, but of even Hurlshort is hating on it I know it's got to be bad.

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.

Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u
It's been a while but I believe I've seen it. I'll probably watch it again soon

Obituary thread
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.

Food Thread - Those that eat
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.

Anime and Manga - New Season
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 ****.

Anime and Manga - New Season
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing episodes 1-5 A group of child soldiers are sent to Earth to fight against an aristocratic fascist regime. So far I'm digging it.
