As someone who voted for her, I’m completely on board with never seeing her or hearing from her again. She utterly failed — lost a (mostly*) free and fair election to a demented fascist idiot who’s destroying the country. Enough of the responsibility for our current situation rests on her shoulders that she can fuck right off forever, along with Biden, the Bushes, the Clintons, Mitch McConnell, Joe Lieberman, Newt Gingrich and all the other neocons, neolibs, and corrupt, amoral, greedy, misanthropic assholes that got us here.

She might survive as a politician if she took responsibility for the loss, and pushed for change in the Democratic party. Hopefully, she’ll do that, and not follow Clinton’s example. Seems unlikely.

• There was probably some amount of fuckery, but if the margins were as wide as they should have been, they couldn’t have pulled it off.

I’m unfamiliar with this medal, but can only assume it’s intended to commemorate the US losing the information war. Seems a bit macabre.

I wasn’t aware that they’d done a miniseries adaptation! Adding to my watchlist, thanks.

I hated Myst as a kid. Not just because I disliked the gameplay, but because its inexplicable popularity heralded a shift in the adventure game market. Instead of more Sierra or LucasArts-type games, there were, for years, scads of shitty, boring Myst-likes.

I do have them tagged as “nazi trash”, so that checks out.

I was on the ride last summer, and the only name that I remember being mentioned is Davy Jones, of mythical locker fame. They did add him to the ride in 2006, but he was created for the movie in 2003.

Sounds like you’re just lucky!

Several hospitals in China have been offering childbirth pain simulation experience for over a decade.

Yeah, that’s the craziest part of this story. Why would any hospital do that? It seems wildly irresponsible.

I thought this had come out already? All the garbage is blurring together.

'tisn’t the least bit funny.

Fyi, it’s martial law.

If it can make it through 5 training jumps, sure! Honestly, the little jumps they make you do on practice equipment hurt more than landing with a (functional) parachute. I’m just glad they weren’t using the towers when I went through; those seemed like a terrible idea.

Luckily for the rest of the species, this describes nearly all nazis.

I tried to get into Fallout 4 for the second or third time recently, and have just given up, and uninstalled it. It’s the simplified dialogue that ultimately robs it of any meaning for me. Nobody has anything very interesting to say, and the player just has a few one-word prompts to respond with. I don’t suppose that’s any different in Fallout: London? I imagine they’d have had to go to unreasonable lengths to change it.

His chief weapon was surprise, iirc. That’s all, just surprise.

This is from Waterworld, right? Troublingly relatable.

I mean, occasionally they do. Always popping up where you least expect (or want) them, in my experience.

Yeah, probably safest to stock up on onions now, so you won’t be caught out. I always keep some on standby for this kind of thing.

The single-player NWN used 3rd edition. I played a lot of NWN2, which was based on 3.5.

Samesies. I think it didn’t help that I played the sequel first. It’s just really damned dated. Some older games age really well, but NWN did not.
