He’s also a Dominionist that wants to rule the world and bring about the apocalypse.

That was a very good guess!

Not just a product that consumers don’t want to buy, but one that most consumers can’t buy because of high prices and low wages.

I purchased my current car used. I plan to purchase my next car used. The new car I bought in 2016 will likely be the last brand new car I ever buy (I know buying used typically makes more sense anyways, but the point still stands).

Autonomous vehicles are at times both amazingly advanced and bedshittingly idiotic.

I’ve ridden ~25k miles in them for work, and I trust them more than 95% of the drivers on the road. But I’ve also experienced them acting in ways that are still quite far from the way humans would.

Oh, the humanity!

Gotta get one last war crime in.

McAllen is only 65mi from the ocean; a hurricane would be horrific. It’s not like Texas gets hit by hurricanes a lot, right? Right?

In a previous house I rented, the HOA ladies would drive around the neighborhood roughly 3 times a week. There were less than 200 homes in the whole subdivision. Even if you walked slowly, it would only take an hour to walk the whole thing, but instead they drove.

No Man’s Sky. A foot deep but a mile wide.

No worries. I’ve never played a ttrpg, just have a passing interest and thought I’d ask. Cheers!

Is this a body-swap thing, or just the players having to play different characters?

Trump, and a large portion of the US electorate, don’t understand soft power. The idea of propping others up helps yourself; of graciously taking a back seat in one area to strengthen your position in another. It’s fucking infuriating, and it’s going to have ramifications long after Trump joins Kissinger.

“Cluster headaches”

Sitting in my closet, rocking back and forth waiting for it to be over. Exactly the same, I told my wife afterwards “If I’d had an ice pick, I would have shoved it through my eye.”

Trump nominated Jay Clayton for the spot yesterday.

A distant family member of mine was (is) a Marine, and made it to Drill Instructor before the effects of his PTSD from 3 tours and a TBI became too much (ie he basically had a psychotic break) and he medically retired.

After he got out, he and I talked about it one time. He told me that he’d had a lot of trauma growing up and was fairly bigoted when he first went in. But that after a while he couldn’t care less about someone’s sex, gender, race, religion, etc (at least as far as the people who had joined; he admits civilians are still a tough thing for him), because when you’re in the suck, none of that matters. The only thing he cared about is whether the person next to him was properly trained and willing to put their life on the line for him, just like he would for them.

It’s not to piss them off, but to send a message. Just like Putin, he’s going to put the screws to somebody wealthy to send the message “I did it to them, I can do it to you.”

It’s not about the House or the EC, it’s the Senate. 2 more reliably R senators makes things worse
