My account has been locked up because my daughter has three separate BG3 games going with friends. Last week my son said we need to put a time limit on her because nobody else can play on Steam.

What a dirtbag.

Man, Garber sucks.

Got season tickets to my local USL club.

Imagine being so divorced from your community that you think only the actual act of being killed in their school affects children and not the practicing for active shooters, dealing with the fact that people walk into schools and murder children in your society, etc and not understanding the possible consequences of that on small children.

Very good statistical argument. You may have missed a very small issue though, the part where it’s children and being murdered and them having to deal with that. Other than that, well done.

I play SSX 3 Gamecube like it’s my 2nd job.

Ah.

you’re on the internet too much

holy smokes that headline sucks

Oh, when was that, when two people were honestly debating their views and policies? Was it Nixon? Reagan? Bush? other Bush? Which Republican was it?

what bullshit

You can be critical of a politician and still support that politician. Why that’s suddenly a super difficult thing to understand is beyond me.

…so then you totally did understand, you just wanted someone to waste their time explaining it so you could immediately come back with jill stein nonsense. that was a dick thing to do.

KillerTofu got it right, I just wanted to post and agree rather than just upvote. Yeasts changed the flavor of my homebrewing pretty significantly as well.

In the mind of the pro-nuclear advocate, they imagine oil and coal plants being decommissioned and beautiful, brand new super perfect never failing nuclear plants taking their place. In these dreams these nuclear plants are never made by the lowest bidder, are never under staffed or inadequately maintained, are never involved in war, are never targeted by terrorists, and are never struck by acts of God. These plants have perfect supply chains whose materials are exactly as durable as described and never less. They are run by people that will, quarter after quarter, year after year, never take shortcuts for profit or make decisions that will negatively affect the plant or the people working there. You see, even the capitalists are perfect little angels in this perfect plan that makes perfect sense.

Because what they’re selling is a perfect version of a perfect nuclear plant. All inputs and outputs are perfect with the very small exception of the nuclear waste of course, which they have a perfect answer for as well. You see, we will perfectly store and perfectly wait for a perfect answer to our perfectly nightmarish waste product from our perfect energy source.

hey bro its cleaner than oil hey bro we could get rid of coal hey bro it’s super safe that’s why my plan calls for it to be built in South Dakota

No thanks. We don’t need to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire to prove our environmentalism. Renewables are here. Let’s make the great leap forward of this generation be the deployment of renewables on an unimaginable scale.

Even the baseline assumption that oil producing countries and corporations would just sit there and let it happen is so patently absurd that it’s hard to take the conversation seriously at all. Sure buddy, Exxon and Saudi Arabia aren’t going to deploy their armies of lobbyists and use their cartel to undermine the wholesale transition away from their product.

Sure buddy. Environmentalists against nuclear are binary thinkers but our idea of using nuclear isn’t just naive magical thinking. Sure.

Is this bait? It sure feels like bait.

Thanks for posting this. I didn’t know it existed.

It wasn’t for you. Your posts are banal and amateurish. It was for other people.

Back in the before times, bills would come to a vote and bills that had virtually total support would go thru with unanimous consent. Now, bills are blocked from being voted on so that Senators aren’t on the record being shitbags. As you quoted Vance saying, ““it’s idiotic for us to take the bait” in regards to Democrats using the bill to force Republicans to publicly declare whether or not they support IVF.”

Think about that statement from a Senator, then marvel at how fundamentally different he sees the job of a Senator from say, you or me or regular humans.

Duckworth is putting a face to whoever opposes a wildly popular issue, IVF treatment. It causes people to think about the issue, because legislators are in fact advocators (you know, in complete contrast to Vance trying to hide what he advocates for). There’s nothing performative about it.

in my opinion, it is the standard democrat cynicism. it is simply something that in the future can be used as a bullet point for her future candidacy. without context, one could write ‘honestly’ she “fought” for IVF.

For Duckworth and for many people, IVF is a opportunity that is basically magic. It changes their lives and it gives them the opportunity to have children. There are few things more powerful than that, and it’s tone deaf to an extreme degree to think that something is performative just because it isn’t targeted at you.

I mean, usually I’d say you’re being a petulant childish asshole, but I’m trying to be better too.

It’s ok if everything isn’t important to you, champ. It can be important to others and we can support that. There will be Republican supporters of IVF that wanna know too.

I bought the game and I still considered emulating it just to run it at higher res.

which kinda sucks, honestly. it’s not like these kids seem to have really had a great chance before, then she runs for congress.

holy shit what a disaster.
