Now is when people are forming their opinions on him. If it's in-bounds to talk about what a "fighter" he is, it's in-bounds to talk about how he treats trans people and homeless people, too.
That's the road we came in on. Nothing out there but snow and a perfectly good pair of sunglasses.

Water in the desert at last It's central to the themes of the game. From Laguna to Seifer to Cid to Galbadia, the whole world trades its memories (and values) for power and loses its way. The characters who recognize this move past it, the ones who don't are consumed by it.
God shut the fuck up
That is the Democratic Party's motto, yes
Sounds like it's important to nominate a candidate that won't alienate voting blocs you need in order to win and prevent that, then. Maybe you don't care about winning as much as you say, because if you did, you'd understand this on a practical level no matter how much it annoyed you.
Really bad idea
The VA really went for it, the way he pronounces Cthulhu replaced any unsettled feelings with bafflement though
Also used to get freaked out during the final section of Monkey Island 2, my 7-year-old brain couldn't handle the fact that you could be interrupted at any time and you didn't know when it was gonna happen
Serpent's Grotto in Kyrandia 1. Dozens of identical rooms you had to light up and keep track of, or this would happen.
It's interesting how people like you always speak in abstractions when it comes to trans rights. You never identify it as trans rights when downplaying it, you say things like "any one political position". Are you afraid to say trans rights aren't important enough to draw a line on?
I'm at my wits end here. Rent going up, bills to pay, no income, no answer from disability appeal. Body is going through so much pain and still waiting for important appointments. I feel like a complete failure.... Any help is appreciated. gofund.me/c72e466e
It's like when a website fails to load its images and you just get all the section headers as a string of nouns
This isn't even a complete thought, it's like Koko the gorilla signing a bunch of associated words in a random order
Just because trans people's lives aren't important to you doesn't make them frivolous issues in the way you believe they are. You will lose if you go down this road and you'll deserve it.
It seems like you've missed the point, or much more likely, are choosing to deliberately misunderstand the point to downplay Jeffries being the platonic ideal of his own bogus smear.
Lost with Better Call Saul's focus and episode count is something I think about a lot. Slightly too early for the kind of TV it was, but definitely paved the way
TV Tropes on one monitor, CinemaSins on the other, smirking so confidently I pull a muscle
That's how politics works, yes.
I think a sizeable percentage of media illiteracy comes from laziness, spite, or reflexive overcorrection rather than inability. Most people can reason and analyze just fine in the right setting/conversation - there's just a lot of incentive to grandstand and fire off maximalist broadsides instead.
Me and literally no one else I knew in life standing awkwardly around heaven, trying not to accidentally piss this guy off
Deathbulge RPG released 2 years ago today. To celebrate, I made a video counting down the most work-intensive animations made for the game. I really hope you enjoy it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4je...
Sometimes you think of something stupid and just need to know it's already out there
thinking of the chainsawsuit where google keeps making their logo more silly and childish to counterbalance their evil
This is one of the most ghoulish, despicable things I've ever heard of. I thought I'd lost my capacity to be revolted by the way people use this technology, and the way carnival barkers pretending to be journalists would pretend to speak to the dead.
Not interested in ladder kickers, sorry
My time with Ubisoft has closed, and I'm looking for new full-time work! I have game accessibility experience from indies to AAA. Looking to make your games accessible for disabled players while honoring your creative goals? please reach out! linktr.ee/clintonlexa (Signal boosts appreciated!)
I'd be interested! Here's a sample of some full-scale work and scaled emotes (may have to open in another tab, Bluesky will probably scale them weirdly) You can reach me here, or through my same handle on Discord or Gmail.
A wonderful friend of mine, Skavenger216, got sideswiped on the freeway and it *ruined* his car. Delivery driving was his work... please, please help. Anything you can give will be dearly appreciated. ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/support-mi...
I've been bedridden for the last 7 months, unable to work, and now my roommate who was covering rent is having tax issues. I need to raise a few thousand dollars to cover rent and bills for this month, so If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Thanks so much. ko-fi.com/fooneturing

I mean, 2 is a pretty safe bet
It was me, I was too lazy to clap for Tinkerbell
Yeah, I just can't get worked up about every green rock people keep saying is kryptonite. "This one's gonna do it!" Well, no, it probably won't, it's probably gonna take a long time and a lot of pain and failure on many different axes to make anything better. That's not "Let's stop trying".
def, mango/pineapple/peach are my go-to's
Think some people are telling on themselves by assuming "Mueller won't change anything" means "We should all just give up then"
If you can't stand up for trans people and other vulnerable people when you're the only alternative, then you deserve him
⚠️Opening Emergency Commissions⚠️ I'm in the process of getting a Vgen page, but for now you can check my new updated carrd site for commission info. I'm now doing Live2D Model + Rigging art. This is to help with the new rent ($2053) and bills. edobean.carrd.co

I won't vote for Gavin Newsom
Hell yeah, staying hydrated really was the answer
I accepted the Daemogoth Titan quest from Roanella when I was already in a companion conversation and now I think the task is bugged, she just keeps offering it again. I'll drink some water though
Have seen people I otherwise generally respect make excuses for this because "asset design is not art" and "it's like making a coffee cup by hand instead of with a machine" Like all graphic design is obsolete and without value because they needed to reflexively defend a game they liked that did it
It affected the structure of PS1 RPGs a lot, you got some clear act breaks in the tone and pacing of the story. The end of each disc was like finishing a season of a TV show.
Straight up "This isn't about me, but I'm the only one who understands how to talk about it correctly, which I never do, except to blame it on people I have grudges against"
When all you have is a hammer, etc.
It's the only lens through which she appears to consider what's being done to Gaza, which to me is implicative of a massive failure of empathy and perspective. I've found some critiques of her to be overstated in the past, but this is pure solipsism.
Look some people need their comfort characters
She talks about Gaza like it's a popular show she kind of hates and wants to correct the discourse on through subtweeting
"I can't hear you / Okay I can hear you now" still gets me
earlier today there was a group of 10 year olds on the train saying stuff to each other like "i am 31 years old" and "i just turned 34" and laughing harder and harder each time
There are also a lot of subtle ways that individual player choices reverberate through the world, and I think those are more effective than the global "high" and "low" chaos modes. I always enjoy The Outsider marveling at the contradictions in my choices.
I think it's fair to argue that the way the series assigns completely polarized values to the characters and larger society based on whether the player kills 40 guards or 50 is not very elegant, but in the context of these being the greatest playgrounds ever produced by the medium, I barely care
Runs learned: ~28 + Casual runs: ~7 Best place: 1st Worst place: 191st (Super Meat Boy, 2011) Longest run (solo): FLY'N (1:19:59) Longest run (multi): Mega Man 1-6 (3:37:00) Shortest run: Super Meat Boy (21:19) Most fun: Syphon Filter Least fun: Glare (still enjoyed it at the time)
Pan's Labyrinth is great all around but the thing that stuck with me was the very end. They destroy the Captain with their reply to his last request, even before they shoot him in the face. You watch him die twice. If they just shot him it wouldn't be enough. They take away both of his futures.
He's genuinely dumbfounded that they won't grant his request. He thought he was owed this and dies hurt and confused.
the fated post
I've never been able to get into it, but just on principle I'm negatively polarized against anything a 2000s-era angry gamer convinced half the internet to repeat as gospel
I've muted people I otherwise like because of that one post, been wanting this feature for at least 10 years
A lot of people trying to figure out the magic spell he must've cast on voters, because they can't conceive of his platform being popular
"We have to pull back on palestine support" "we have to pull back on trans rights" "Dems should be more centrist" EAT HOT ASPHALT YOU FUCKING LOSERS!!!
I think it's a criticism of the media rather than the public
Mr. President, sir, you cannot bomb Iran without first giving me your autograph
Getting into a physical fight with my own ventriloquist dummy in front of a baffled crowd because I can't get it to say what I want
Really enjoying the idea of the Burger King and Burger Chancellor having a Zapp Brannigan/Kif Kroker dynamic
Hate when I am triumphantly told, in response to my sincere inquiry, to drag on somebody's whopper
Did I say 12? Ah, I misspoke. I meant 28
"Damn, this storm is really picking up, I should make some coffee in case the power goes out for 12 hours," I say, seconds before the power goes out for 12 hours
The impact of the encounter in Emissary was probably seismic for them, shaping how they see their role in beginning to guide Bajor's history. I think in that way their values and self-concept are descended from him. They in turn create him so he can teach them.
Realized on recent rewatch that the moments of intersection they have with the corporeal world probably happen "out of order" from our perspective. If so, Sisko's first contact with them may be their first ever encounter, and all "subsequent" intersections happen before or after it.
I hope he's able to get some rest there
confused squint for 30 seconds followed by wide smile of understanding
Holy moly. You've entered your Octopus Pie era
Jeffery Combs doing voicework in Lower Decks was a real treat
building my base in a swamp biome next to a bunch of hostile mobs, confused why i'm not having any fun
It's like giving them a negative review as a person. It denies them the satisfaction of knowing they've provoked you. You're just a reasonable citizen who has thoughtfully evaluated their whole deal and left them 2 stars
Love when the prevailing culture of an online community stops being about what it's about, and becomes about its most forceful personalities litigating in-group faux pas in excruciating detail and endlessly huffing to each other about the riffraff
no
my little ponys
He does like being in between two other things
There was a deleted verse that was even more grisly as I recall
I Remember Larry for the dark horse pick
"Don't struggle, you'll only make it worse"
Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing
So being a volunteer devil's advocate to cater to the feelings of the worst people in the country was just a present to yourself?
Should people who look Mexican also stay home, so the right won't use images of them to scapegoat the entire movement as an invading army? How far should we go to look presentable to a group of people determined to lie about us and destroy us?
Also, *psychotic* to draw a parallel between nazi & confederate flags and the flag of Mexico. Some howling freaks on the right might draw that equivalence, but you don't have to do that for them.
It's almost like they will use any excuse they can, and invent one if every last protester expresses nothing they can pretend to find insidious. As if there's no possibility of pleasing them, and imploring protesters to cater to dishonest people for optics accomplishes nothing.
Dan's PAX presentation only emboldened you
Too many Toads putting dotted blue line flags on their karts
What part of "every country in the world" rolled smoothly off your brain?
Somehow they're both the scorpion and they're just stinging each other 3 feet off the shore
Oh yeah, I enjoyed it a lot!
I'd honestly be happy to play it with all jank intact I just don't want to buy a console for it. Lies of P is the closest I'm getting I guess
OH MY FUCKING GOOOODDDDDDDDD MATSUNO YOU ARE THE ETERNAL GOAT
Who's gonna be the true hero that mods in the PS1 translation too? (Also hell and fuck yeah)
