Yep did a double take, actually getting hammered haha

Yeah I tend to agree, they have a lot of upside in remaining the rational and responsible party in all this chaos, worth some level of risk to maintain it.

Makes you wonder… has anyone heard of video conferencing?

Yeah was gonna say, he’s been a funny guy.

Also when we say “libs” here, we’re talking reform types as opposed to hardliners/pro-nuke folks? Because I’m having trouble imagining them being into brunch and identity politics…

I presume Pakistan is pulling out all stops in terms of security, but man, those guys have gotta be worried mossad’s gonna try and pull some shit. How can you meet with these fuckers when they’ve killed your previous negotiators and acted with such duplicity. Hopefully they refuse to have Witkoff or Jared in the room.

Certainly jibes with the admin sending him to lead “negotiations” in Islamabad.

I think I saw them sometime around ‘97-98. Wild to think this is still circulating in some form almost 30 years later, yikes I’m old, fuck.

Man those drivers right when the flame column kicks up and onto the bridge… talk about something terrifying and unexpected—looks like they all kept going and got off the bridge, hopefully.

Yes, this is a problem I had as well—trying to remember what I was, especially for the first 20-30 levels as usually you don’t need to have your second class locked until then. And Syrah so many different combinations, it’s draw for the sure of trying out new combos and equipment that supports that.

My only complaint is probably that “endgame” involves grinding for some set of gear that wasn’t available prior to completing the campaign, and there are some rift-esque activities, but basically you achieve the super cool gear and you’re sorta done, you do t have a lot of activities to use that gear for other than the random rift like thing and the super/secret bosses, which mostly serve as trophies to demonstrate the power level you’ve achieved with the good gear. But because there’s so many cool class combos it really wasn’t a problem for me, I would usually just start up a new character.

It’s honestly one of the best AARPGs I’ve played in a long time, lots of interesting build combos, satisfying gearing, and the campaign is interesting enough (given that you’ll have to replay it quite a bit.)

That said, it’s one of those games where the DLC aren’t really optional, as they sort of complete the game. Luckily there’s only 2 (with a third on the horizon) and they aren’t usually that expensive.

This is such a key point you make—quality of search results and available info to use to solve a problem have degraded so far that you almost have to rely on web search enables AI to do what you used to be able to do on your own, and in both cases now you have to engage a lot of extra effort in trying to discern if the information is at all useful.

And like you say, the situation will only recursively get worse as the two feed on each other further destroying informational value.

It’s just a natural biological process, it’s beautiful really, the union between a probe and drogue.

Ah thanks good catch, I didn’t realize what today’s date was.

Edit: this is a different plane/day, disregard

A yogthos post with Iranian tracking camera footage to corroborate:

Man they really got to remember to check the lint trap before they take off, SMH how have they not updated their checklists???

Hopefully someone who understands forex better can explain, but I’ve been wondering: aside from de-dollarization/symbolic fuck you to US, is it possible that Iran has set yuan as the toll currency (as opposed to their currency) because it is a currency they can use outside of sanctions to buy equipment, tech, goods from China? Possibly also because it will cause Chinese oil shipping the least discomfort in terms of coming up with funds?

This post is making me want to get off my ass and start making falafel again. I had a good habit of soaking/blending chickpeas and keeping it in a container in the fridge, was super convenient for lunches because you just scoop out some and oven/air fry/pan fry and have awesome lunch protein for a wrap or grow bowl or whatever. So easy and cheap too.

I’ve seen falafel that is more shaped like flat mini hockey pucks, those tend to work well in a wrap. Also I’ve been guilty in the past of taking falafel balls I’ve made and cutting them in half after they’re cooked, particularly if I made them too large at the beginning.

My dude, people won’t read my emails If they have more than one paragraph or lack bullet points, and you drop a 4 page poetry-prose missive? /s

Haha that’s fucking insane. I don’t know how to spell Seamus’ name either, but what you wrote looks pretty damn close IIRC.
