We all crave that basic acknowledgement that we exist and matter. Knowing someone spent that time and energy specifically for you I think definitely scratches that itch.

My take is that Intermissions are both good and necessary and so should make a comeback.

Good thing I can only count to 4.

I’m firmly in camp Taco Bell but you’re right. A grilled burrito does not a quesadilla make.

It’s also stupid politics! The median Dem voter is agitating for Nuremberg style trials and cracking guillotine jokes right now! Schumer’s “Baileys” would be at the No Kings Rally with a Trump effigy lol.

As someone who has had passive suicidal ideation since I was like 12, absolutely, yes. The paradox of it however is that knowing it is an option prevents me from having to exercise said option. No crisis has been bad enough to make me use it. So, maybe, no crisis ever will.

It’s making my job fundamentally more difficult as now I have clients sending me twenty page memos full of absolute hallucinated horse shite that they demand I file immediately. I hate it here.

IIRC, it defines any gender non-conforming clothing as drag and therefore “a sexual performance”. Which means they basically give cops the ability to selectively arrest any they THINK might be trans.

I mean a huge part has to also be the absolute mad swings between administrations. It seemed like Lina Khan was doing some good on pursuing actual antitrust cases but that all ended the second Trump came in.

Absolutely one of my major concerns. But then I remember that FDR was a class traitor and helped push through the most progressive expansion of programs and assistance to the poor in the 20th century. So it’s possible that things can still change, it’s just harder.

Also double the Contracts going out when it attacks with Ishin in play.

Not trying to slander digital art by any means but it is very refreshing to see such beauty captured on physical media. There’s a solidness to it that is really irreplacable.

And that makes sense. Symbology and sacrement are meaningful things. So much of human life is built around and mediated through ritual. The belief that it somehow becomes a supernatural foodstuff is “gilding the lily” to me. It becomes so self-serious as to become mockable.

And that’s why the belief in literal transubstantiation never made any sense to me. So the priest can succesfully make it into God’s flesh but he’s allergic to the leavening or something?

That last sentence is an absolute gut punch. But it also reads as utterly true. Reality often loses to myth and the cult of personality and myth-making they seemed to have cultivated about this summer camp is an indictment all its own. Their failure killed those children and no one should forget it.

MTG card, XGG casting Cost called “Awaken the Woods” - creates X 1/1 green forest dryad tokens.

Absolute monster with Awaken the Woods.

It’s all because Scotland put some windmills up that were in line of sight of his golf course. Everything about his life is about personal grievance.

They took a grounded show about the horrors of war and turned it into Power Rangers. It is enjoyable precisely because it is so ridiculous. Admittedly that’s not for everyone but I’ll always love it.

I mean I’ll be ageist, I don’t care. You’re a fucking weirdo if you’re still working in government at 80+, no matter who. It’s an indictment of the entire system that we have created these effectively lifetime jobs that no one willingly leaves because the perks are too good.

It’s not the weakness. They’re both Commander only cards. It is a bit weird to print a better version of the exact same effect at half the cost less than a year later.

The opening lines from Rommath to Umbric in the remade Magister’s Terrace is just the most obvious “I’m upset you left me” pining.

“I recalibrated these defenses just for you!” Makes it so obvious you both Expected and Wanted him to come test them.

It’s just Lost Cause-ism. It’s all always Lost Cause-ism. The regressive, fascist cause is never defeated due to its own inherent contradictions causing it to break down, it was those _________s who stabbed them in the back.

I’m near a major export hub in the center of the country so our oil is always cheaper. Before the Iran attacks, our gas was $2.30 a gallon. It’s $3.59 now.

There’s a reason this part of the county is called Tornado Alley. The wild temp swings from one day the next is why we end up with the conditions for spawning em’.

It makes some sense to me. The Silents and older Boomers have been moving away from Trumpism. Trump’s main base at this point has been the younger Boomers and older GenX.

Nazis always start by making socialist arguments. The problem is that the socialism ends up being only for white people at the cost of everyone else. The Dem leadership could prevent this by being actually progressive themselves but they refuse.

How much coke is this man snorting? Absolute motor-mouth and can’t stop sniffing for more than 15 seconds…

I’m a ginger and since the shots usually only ever half work, I always get the nitrous whenever I have dental work done. I may still technically “feel” the pain during the drilling but the nitrous makes it so I do not care one bit lol.

I mean it’s kind of hilarious for you to post this like a day or two after suggesting college students who were protesting genocide as being astro-turfed. Perhaps those college students were better capable of understanding actual evil than you want to admit?

JFC. Throw the whole man out. WTF?!!
