If “bloodbath” = Republicans losing influence, does “blue balls” = Democrats losing?

Unfortunately, most of them are not the leftists mentioned at the top of this thread.

I’m sorry you had that experience. Personally I didn’t think Dread’s bosses or levels were significantly harder than classic entries in the series, and some are straight up cake-walks once you know the patterns.

Regarding the instant death, it really didn’t bother me. In the older games, you would find hazardous rooms that you couldn’t progress through without a suit upgrade. The rooms with the E.M.M.I function the same way, except you get to interact with them instead of just turning around to explore elsewhere. They enhanced my fun with the game.

I’m glad Dread was generally well-received, but I guess it would be nice if they made an assist mode for people who just want the story, and the dopamine from killing a boss without having to try multiple times.

Wait, what in Dread was like Dark Souls that wasn’t already in classic Metroid games?

If my grandma had wheels she’d be a bike

The USA is big, yes, but the population live in the cities not in between them.

Some of us are a 2 hour drive from a small city, 4 from a big one. My state capital building is almost 3 hours from me.

If he is the murderer, which hasn’t been proven, he has a kill count of one. The murderer he allegedly killed was responsible for thousands of deaths.

I hope you’re right!

I respect your perspective, but I’m not convinced. Everyone I’ve seen say that just asserts it as fact, even though there is no shortage of demagogues in the alt-right. So many people think this ends with Trump and aren’t planning for what comes next, it seems.

If Trump had written project 2025, I might be more inclined to think that. Trump on his own is what his first term was.

I just don’t believe that, sorry. Nothing special about Vance, I just think all anyone would have to do is lean into Trump as a martyr. Even a freak accident would be painted as the work of radical leftists, and Vance or whoever would capitalize.

I know this is hyperbole, but just to remind anyone who needs it, there are married gen z people with children.

Hi, friend. I don’t believe you are transphobic. Something that might help for next time is to imagine if what you are saying about a cis woman could also be said to a trans woman.

she sure does have a man’s jawline, shoulders, and build, same as Large Marge from Georgia…she should just be honest with herself and accept who she is instead of…

Hope that helps!

Wait, what? That’s disappointing. I use Shinigamieyes, haven’t noticed anything weird yet.

Congress doesn’t need to be okay with it if Elon’s cronies waltz in and kick everyone out.

Not technically, but your employer can hire someone to do your job while you’re striking. The result is that when the strike is over, your job is filled and instead of going back to work, you are placed at the top of the rehire list for whenever that job becomes available again.

First time I’m hearing about this. A quick search shows this list of companies Muslims are/should boycott, and Costco is not listed. There is also this source I found claiming that while there is a single Costco warehouse in one Israeli city:

“Costco has publicly stated its commitment to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which recognizes the right of both Israelis and Palestinians to self-determination. The company has also expressed its support for the efforts of organizations such as the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to provide humanitarian aid and support to Palestinians.”

If you have some information I’m not seeing, feel free to share.

It’s my grandpa’s fault that my dad hit me as a kid because my grandpa nutted in my grandma.

So the implication, not letter, of the 2nd ammendment gives US citizens the right to shoot cops if they are acting as an extension of a tyrannical state. I wonder if there is a case to be made that this executive order infringes on the constitution.
Of course, I don’t expect any 2A stans to care.

Unfortunately none of the families of cops that died from Jan 6 trauma were able to have it classified as “line of duty,” as far as I’m aware.
