First of all, that cookie looks absolutely baller. Secondly, damn you I’m going to get crumbl cookies now and fucking up my diet lol

Biden.

Just got this thing last week, I love it so far. Still haven’t figured out how to make good use of the back paddles on PC, but even without those it’s a great controller.

Likability advantage? Since when was he likable?

It generated printable Black Lotuses? Jackpot!

I mean…duh? Basically the entire point of having different laws in different states is that people can choose what laws they want to live under. No one should be surprised that young people are considering that when choosing colleges.

I don’t know why they bother, reading the verbatim transcript of what he said is more entertaining than any clickbait.

The art of the insult has truly declined over the centuries.

This is the best thing I’ve read all day.

Sure, but don’t let that stop you from insulting him. The activity is its own reward.

Parallel worlds/multiverses. I hate them because it removes all stakes or consequences from the events of a story. Character died? Bring in a new version from another world. Inconvenient thing happened? Move to a world where it never happened. Nothing matters, nothing is canon, everything is reversible.

I wouldn’t say it’s great even there. If you want people to pay 20% more for their food so your workers can get paid, just list that on the menu. Raise all food prices 20% and pay the wait staff a decent wage. Customers pay the same in the end and your staff isn’t dependent on customer generosity to make a living.

I’m going to buck the trend here and advise the more conservative position. I took a developer job in the insurance industry right out of college, and I have no regrets. The work is rarely exciting, but it’s stable and not very demanding. I have great work life balance. And developer jobs in non tech related industries seem to be largely immune to the upheavals and layoffs currently affecting the tech world.

High rates of gun ownership is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for high rates of homicide. “Necessary” would imply that high homicide rate is flat out impossible without high gun ownership, which is clearly not true.

Twice the refresh rate means twice the frames, so I’m twice as productive.

Or at any rate, that’s what I’m telling my job to try to get them to buy me a high spec gaming monitor.

Is it though? My understanding is that a murder charge requires intent to cause harm. Causing death without intent would be manslaughter. If someone is out of their mind in a panic attack and tries to shut down the plane so he could get to the ground, it would hard to prove he intended harm to the other passengers. They probably weren’t even in his thoughts.

Not a lawyer though, my understanding could be flawed.

Honestly, he’s an idiot and he certainly won’t get my vote, but I can’t even be mad about him running. I’m just glad to see a ballot with more than two relevant people on it. Sick and tired of choosing between “dumbass with a D next to his name” and “more dangerous dumbass with an R next to his name”.

Iirc they did know, or at least Arwen did. Elrond says something to the effect that she will be giving up her eternal life when he’s trying to talk her out of being with Aragorn.

Yeah you’re right. I have read the most recent one, I just miscounted.

I quite like Mat too, but never could get behind Nynaeve as a character. All the Aes Sedai, even the young ones, seem to have this attitude of “I know everything so I’m closed off to new information” which is infuriating to me. Egwene and Elayne outgrow that somewhat by the end, but less so Nynaeve.
