Begging your pardon for that, sorry.

Well, 2026 is easy because neither of them will be on that ballot. That’s why midterms are tough for incumbents, because there’s less motivation for their party to turn out, but the aggrieved opposition are highly motivated to turn out as a referendum on the current administration.
2028, who knows man. Anything can happen between now and then. I feel like if someone voted for Trump in 2020 or 2024 then they are terminally stupid.

I tried doing Ironman a while back. Not even on classic, just on whatever the latest patch was. It was only getting easier with time and I wanted my name on that leaderboard. In my mind, it didn’t seem like it would be that difficult as long as I played carefully.
I gave up after level 20. I didn’t die, but I had a few close calls and figured it wasn’t going to be worth it to grind out 90+ more levels using the worst gear in the game and no healing or stat boosting items.

That dominoes shit makes no sense to me. I’ve tried to look up the rules multiple times online and then I go into the game and try to make a legal move and the game won’t let me.

This sounds insane, and I used to think so as well until my ex did just that in front of me one day and then I tried it the next time I cooked a pizza at home. 1000% a better tool than a pizza cutter wheel. I’m a convert.

That advice was likely a holdover from the time when wedding rings were essentially insurance for the wife if her husband died suddenly - sell the ring and be able to live for a while on that money while you search for a new husband.
Now that women are, y’know, allowed to work for a living rather than being forced into homemakers, it makes a lot less sense for the wedding band to be outside of one’s means to purchase.
I just tell people to buy what looks nice to them and is in budget. My wife has a gold band with some inscribed decorations, and I have a band of silver and inlayed meteorite. They were both under $1000. No need for flawless diamonds, rare stones or precious metals. We’re happy.

It’s not really that surprising that Trump would request a cameo considering they used one of his hotels for filming.
The thing that I have never been able to get over is how the guy who live in a luxurious penthouse suite and shits on a gilded toilet, that has built his entire brand identity about being a rich douchebag somehow convinced people that he was a champion of the common man, as if he has literally anything in common with the average American whatsoever. I still burn even today when I think about how stupid people are to have fallen for it in the first place.
Now any criticism of him is automatically political, because he got elected to the most important job in the nation. Even criticism of him before he became a politician is being reframed as just disgruntled Democrats trying to tear down Trump.
I hate him. So much.

- Comment on My Religion 1 month ago:
I think because most religious tenets are more restrictive rather than permissive, it’s easy to say “everyone should have the freedom to practice their own religion.”, but the part that gets left out is “including no religion at all.” and that is an important distinction.
Whenever I meet these types of psycho Christian nationalists who think it’s A-OK to impose their own regressive views on others by rewriting the law to be a reflection of their holy text, I just fire back with an even more regressive, barbaric interpretation of a religious commandment.
“I worship Ba’al Hamon, and my religion says I must sacrifice an infant child to gain his favor. I will lobby my congressmen to change the law to add an exception to infanticide when performing a ritualistic blood offering. Oh, what’s that? You don’t like that? Gee, and you were so gung-ho about forcing people to abide by your religious demands a second ago. I thought we were cool with forcing our beliefs on other people?”
If your religion can’t coexist with nonbelievers without forcibly bending them to your rules, it’s a shit religion.

- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 1 month ago:
The nemesis system patents and Namco’s loading screen mini game patent are two examples of why game mechanics and features should never be granted an exclusive patent.
Of course Namco’s patents expired in 2015 at a time when seamless load screens had become the industry standard.
Who knows what the gaming landscape will look like when people are finally able to get their hands on the nemesis system again?

I’d hedge my bets too if I knew I had mere minutes to live. I stand to lose nothing and I gain comfort at the end, regardless of whether or not I am rewarded with some kind of afterlife.

Fantastic read, thanks for sharing. At a realistic interest rate, the savings per month are literally just a few dollars. Unbelievable.
This idea seems like something that someone who understands absolutely nothing about economics and doesn’t care to learn anything beyond initial vibes would latch onto, which is precisely why Donald Trump is pushing it.
