Yeah sorry I genuinely don't understand the people saying call 911 as some form of protest or help for the victim like the cops aren't gonna show up to support the white dudes totallyinsisting they should be there. The best you accomplish is making a dispatchers job more difficult and they are the real first responders, worst is clogging lines for an actual emergency.

I opened the comments hoping to get some better context on the park itself. I'm looking forward to watching this, it's exactly what I wanted so thank you.

I am so drunk rn but I can't wait to read this tomorrow because you are a goddess sharing fucking .gov sources to a mother fucking bill and I'm ALL ABOUT those kind of sources after years of clickbait news

we the people have probably read more of any given proposed bill than the republican congress voting on it, how fucked is that?

Idk I saw news and discussion for all these things and when I brought them up with people I know they also heard of them. We all have a somewhat wide diversity on how we learn about current events too.

I dont think the disinformation/distraction machine is working as well as it thinks

article from February

the New York Times reporting that Trump discussed with associates his desire to tear up the grass in the Rose Garden and cover it up with a solid surface.

He is weighing whether it should be “limestone or an easily interchangeable hard surface, with the possibility of installing hardwood floors for dancing,” according to the Times.

Oh look he did the thing he threatened to do

Get books off the internet! Brilliant!

Doesn't tourism help the economy? You gotta give people time off to be the consumers you want them to be.

I know nurses and other government employees who wouldn't want less mandatory holidays off, you're either off or get holiday pay to work on a Monday!

damn I hope it isn't an unfortunate choice of words

I kinda feel like I'm taking crazy pills* I'm seeing examples of dictatorship left and right, six months after taking office, and mostly all I really see are jokes and team cheering or jeering.

A journalist was fired for speaking against a person in political power. Not only that, the offense was just calling someone hateful. Meanwhile slurs and hateful dehumanizing names and actual made up diagnosis are used to put down anyone critical of anyone in the current administration that is currently in Trump's good graces.

*I'm aware that we are humans giving knee jerk reactions, and often these posts are a form of stress relief. It doesn't stop me from feeling like Chicken Little

I also just wanna add this journalist has some fantastic writing skills and damn now I wanna look up his entire career. I hope someone snatches him up and I'm really proud and heartened to see a public figure face the consequences of standing up to fascism and still hold their head high. To publicly say they stand by their statements and not apologize.

Amazing, came to the comments to see if anyone pointed this out and it's not even a parent comment.

I find this scary not funny.

I have had playstation for a while, but aside from Petz, Rollercoaster tycoon, and the sims <4 I never had a pc that could handle games.

I was gifted a used custom gaming PC cuz the owner was getting a new one! I have an $80 steam gift card I'd love to spend on multiple pop culture classic games I've missed out on and can only enjoy on PC/Xbox.. my favorite are 3rd person rpg with exploration as an important element in learning about the lore/story. Some sort of reward for exploring thar isn't loot.

Games I loved

  • Control

  • Horizon zero dawn

  • Persona 5/royal Those three are S tier life changing, think about forever types

  • Bishop trilogy (2 is best @me bro)

  • P5 strikers

  • Persona 4 golden

  • Final fantasy, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15

  • Catherine Full Body

  • Alan Wake

  • Ni no Kuni2

  • The forgotten city

  • Until dawn

  • A plague tale 1 innocence

  • TLOU1

  • Uncharted 1-3

  • Portal 1 & 2

Meh

  • life is strange 1
  • TLOU2
  • Nier automata (ikr, wtf? )

Did not finish/Gave up for lack of interest

  • Mass effect 1 (and thus none of the sequels)
  • Little nightmares
  • Fallout 4
  • Cyberpunk 2077 and not for glitch reasons
  • Ghostwire

So far the only game I'm sure of is the fable series but I dont even know what version to get? It often gets confusing for older games for a newbie

Computer details: Intel i9, 32gb ram, and Nvidia GeForce rtx 2070

 

***Edit: deux ex

So I have access to the ps plus catalog. I'm really excited they have disco elysium the final cut, and dues ex mankind divided

My brain has muddled these two awesome franchise pop culture knowledge where I feel like I'm more or less able to go into either blind and I wanna preserve that! The thing is it's not really clear to me for either title if I'd be playing a sequel (or something that is better enjoyed with prior context)

So I guess my question is for these two games, what should ideally be the order placement? Even if I just watch a yt essay on a previous game I don't have access to just to have some good groundwork context.

I also am curious what games you discovered that is available through similar subscriptions. Were you pleasantly surprised? Just meet average expectations?

 

Here is the Opening Draft [01:32], which could serve as a trailer.

And his current project/upcoming video is the entire series of Power Rangers

 

Yeah sorry not your typical post here, I hope that's OK!

I'm thinking of getting this for my (14)nephew and my brother to play together. He used to play DND in the 80s and this game really sounds like it tries to honor a lot of the culture and whatnot of the games.

But... I haven't played anything like either of those and my brother is extremely busy with little free time and my nephew doesn't have as much free time as the average kid.

Is this a game that could still be enjoyable in small doses? Does it get overwhelming or stressful fast for most people who don't play games nearly as long or as intense as this? For context they play a lot of match style games but my brother loved the original assasians creed.

And if not or for some reason you have another suggestion I'd love to hear it because at the very least this game sounds good to me and I'm interested in what other games it's fans like that I could also check out. :)

 

Ya'll jealous of my black 08 prismacolor fine line marker and pilot precise v7 rt.

Okay what the fuck is that last one? Why does it sound like a sports car marketed to males 14-26?

 

Is there a really popular product, technique, or otherwise viral trend that you tried and it fell short somehow?

What was it, what were your expectations, and what was the result?

(LOL no shame, totally posting this in the makeup community if I can find it)

 

I love how far against mainstream Radcliff has gone post HP. And this is just delightful regardless

 

What is an old show you think is great and really doesn't get mentioned enough? Why should someone watch it?

 

Hope mildly witchy stuff qualifies. At least while things start gaining momentum. I have a lot of those!
