Look, I agree with you. But the laws are already in place to require a certain amount of physical stability. In the current context, that's just plain nuts, I'd pick just about any other democrat over Biden. Who knows, maybe he'll reject the nomination (like he probably should). And we'll get AOC or Harris or something.
This is promising. Trump just lies (surprised face), Biden just exaggerates or makes small speaking errors. (Among all the brain farts and studdering)
I watched some of it. Super embarrassing for Biden. Added all the fodder Fox needs to make edits and clips until the end of time.
Wish Bernie were an option, but he's got medical issues that make him ineligible.
Playing the original (GameCube) is also fun. For me neither control structure is the end all be all, I just preferred the Wii version.
The remake was visually good for the most part, but I think the original looks better overall.
I hope they release all 3 of the original primes with the remaster before 4 comes out, but I'll still be playing my Wii prime trilogy 🤣
Prime VR would be my JAM!
FINALLY!
Just wish we could use Wii controls. That was the best way to play prime. The switch remaster was okay, but not as good.
Anyone familiar with obsidian and have also used this? Any comparisons you can make?
This is a bad comparison. Language absolutely works as described in the previous comment. While certain trends such as using "literally" to mean "figuratively", are personally super annoying, that doesn't change the fact it's 100% correct when enough people do it.
For real, I've heard some recordings, and the only similar thing I heard was "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free".
I think it's important to note as well, nearly ALL chants in most protests rhyme, so "... sea, Palestine will be Arab" just doesn't sound like something anyone would be saying.
Username checks out...
That's been the American legacy for a very long time.
Supporting Israel's genocide is nothing I would have voted for given the choice.
From what I understand of Ukraine's situation, I'm happy to support them.
The Chinese government already has our data thanks to Facebook, Google, and reddit (and just about every other free service). This ban ("forced sale" that will never happen because the US is only 10% of their revenue) is to limit our communication, not to save our data. They could pass legislation to protect our data across the board, but they (the house) have too much invested in meta and them to do anything to harm their bottom line.
This ban only became the biggest most important thing for the government to do after we all started learning what Israel was doing in Gaza. Our house of reps is primarily owned by Israel and private corporations, and Tiktok is a driving force for change. It's getting more young people to vote than anything before. And all they want is representation that actually represents, rather than cater to bribery. This idea is terrifying to those currently in power, because they've enjoyed doing almost nothing good for the American people for 4 decades while getting stupid rich at the same time.
I understand a lot of people knew what was happening to the Palestinians for years, but that was information the US was happy to keep to itself. Tiktok made it super clear to the rest of us what was actually going on.
I'm not trying to say data privacy isn't important. It is, but the ship has sailed on that problem. We can do things to limit the damage to future users, but everyone that's already been on the Internet... 🤷. This is an issue they have with US citizens learning about all the shady underhanded shit they've been doing for decades. If they were truly worried about our data privacy, meta and Google would be their first and primary targets, rather than the primary beneficiaries from a sale (because a sale would immediately ruin it) or ban.
And finally (sorry, I know this is long), I've seen more anti Chinese information on Tiktok than anywhere else. If they were in control of what's being shown (the government's other big excuse here), you'd think they'd censor their past and current atrocities from being known. Everything I see on Tiktok doesn't serve China at all. In fact if we're finally able to vote out the dinosaurs and money whores that currently run things, then it may actually hurt China in the long run.
Thanks for reading my ranting Ted talk. Sorry about that!
I thought that picture was a screenshot of the movie District 9. Now making a parallel, even those alien guys were treated better than Palestinians.
That is, in fact, all they seem to think it takes.
Second result for me was a document about Russian hackers and their demands that we enstate trump as president after he lost.
I 100% believe that. But might it have done some good anyway? Just because "they'll just do it anyway" is a terrible excuse not to try to better the situation.
So religion is a pretty common theme in his books. Stormlight and Elantris (more for the latter) have heavy religious influence.
I'm reading Elantris now, and I can't imagine a man who understands religion as well as he does (based on his writing) believes anything about the TSCC. This thought just came to mind as he's describing how the one dude knows how to manipulate the masses, using their pride and shame to his own ends.
Anywho, just throwing that out there. 🤷
Have a great weekend, and a lovely second Saturday everyone!

Super weird, noticed it today on his right foreleg just above the elbow joint. Feels like there's something underneath, and had this chunky white protrusion. Can't find an exact match via Google. Expecting some sort of cyst or maybe a blocked gland?
