To quote (likely) John Swift, a lie can be halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.

No no, the worst thing would be having a beer with Lofwyr and everything seems totally normal after.

S-K is my favorite Corp to build stories around because it’s so incredibly easy to make lore-aware players incredibly paranoid.

The dragons are oligarchs.

Yup. The trans community has been doing this with HRT meds for YEARS because it was either straight up illegal, or almost impossible to obtain access because of the dozens of hoops you had to jump through.

My issue, as a younger grognard, is that point and click character builders and sheets have led to a lot of players who don’t actually understand how to play the game without their buttons. They don’t get what I mean when I say “roll a spell attack” unless they have a button that does it. They don’t get how to build a character outside of something like D&D Beyond where it does everything for you.

Pokemon Emerald? So long as I’m not the protag, life is generally OK. Aside from Team Aqua/Magma and the whole “causing disasters to expand the sea/land”, I should be OK.

It literally is him “killing” that stage persona and the ideas that powered it, yes.

Kentucky just allowed 12 year olds to work for nonprofits 18 hours a week.

Also, they were armed with new AR-15 rifles, which not all of them had been trained to handle yet. The rookie who, by his own admission, was handling the rifle in the following car said he fell (he was standing up) and believed the weapon discharged as the car accelerated, as his hand automatically gripped tighter due to the sudden acceleration. This is further muddied by the fact that the SS probably stole parts of the remains to cover up the fact they might have accidentally killed JFK.

Haley isn’t really afraid to say the quiet part loud.

Most waste isn’t spent fuel, it’s tools and clothes and PPE and steel and other bits that have been directly exposed to radiation long enough to become radioactive.

This one makes sense if the parents are old enough to have used silver nitrate film. Really old film can, and will, just catch fire on on its own if it’s even moderately hot and dry.

He also claimed the war didn’t leave him with any bad memories, but he’s got a whole marsh where dead people pull other people into the bog to drown.

Weirdly totally not about the Somme according to Tolkien.

I believe the Sermon on the Mount essentially says “clothe the naked, feed the hungry, take care of the sick.”. No limits on time.

The Didoche was written in an era where Christian communities generally had little wealth and were constantly in danger of arrest or execution. This is NOT the case in most places now, and especially not in the US, which this meme is referencing.

Nobody who’s suggesting state assistance is suggesting that we “take care” of people forever, at least not under the current system. Indeed, the data pretty easily shows that if you give people a place to stay, solid food aid, and some cash to deal with bills and miscellania, they start being functioning members of society, and get jobs and start the detox process or whatever interventions they need, really quick, like within months. This has been trialed even in the US in places like Denver, and it works.

So what you’re really saying is “I don’t want more of my money going to helping other people.” Have fun being the richest man in the cemetery.

Green is running Stein again, I thought? Except she’s gone pretty much towards the same extreme isolationism as Oliver and RFK.

Every name that’s been floated polls worse and has SOME form of baggage attached, or is a complete and utter unknown.

Not these Teslas, from what I understand. The type of glass they use is EXTREMELY resistant to shattering.

Even worse, I’ve run into fans who think the Terrans had the right idea.

Don’t forget megachurch pastors.

As Behind the Bastards pointed out recently in their Kent Hovind episode, the IRS doesn’t give a shit about what illegal or immoral activity you commit, they literally just want you to pay taxes on it.
