And this is How Col. Campbell’s persona came to be in Sons of the Patriots.

So, just sword and sandal Sims? Jesus, it sounds so plausible now.

My fear is that they will fix the chalice dungeon exploit. I’m perfectly willing to admit I am not good enough to beat it without that.

By your logic the president can only be arrested if the morality police and religious hardliners disagree. 🤔

I have tried many times to do exactly what you said, and I still am not getting the option to add a custom search engine.

Any advice you have is appreciated.

As an old person, I approve this message. It’s exhausting to keep screwing things up for everyone that comes after us.

Consider how the federalization of Student Loans has contributed to the price of college outpacing inflation by many times, and income by a magnitude.

That’s still only part of the problem, of course, hiring university leadership from the for profit business sector, privatizing loan servicing, etc. have all made college tuition skyrocket, but the loan program is a major issue.

A better option for college would be to subsidize universities directly with the requirements that their tuition stay within a linear relationship to inflation. Somewhat like state colleges offering low tuition for residents.

Housing needs more federal controls, which, to her credit she has explored in her platform along with disincentivizing, exploitative investment in private housing.

FWIW, I didn’t read anything in BM’s post that made me think he was arguing the incident was fake. I interpreted that (s)he was saying it probably was other debris or shrapnel, and he’s insisting it was an actual slug to look like a tough guy.

Right on, this isn’t about Ukraine’s restraint, it’s about Russia’s psychopathy.

FWIW, I had a subscription over a decade ago. I can’t say I ever thought of it as “Left”, it was at best, corporate center. But it definitely has gone more right as it has also gone more sensationalist. They partnered with Daily Beast for a while, and then were sold to IBT media, an international “news and Information” conglomerate. I think your memories are from the old hard journalism days, and they have gone back to corporate, but corporate-right.

Tangentially, isn’t the phrase, “WITH abandon,” to mean unchecked, or unrestrained?

Obligatory: Uncle Tom was actually a good guy. The idea that he was some kind of traitor or such comes from a crappy adaptation of the book. In the actual book he dies to save some other slaves.

“Rock the vote”?

1. Happy Birthday!
2. They’re great. You’ll be surprised how often you’ll run to check it after seeing the generic weather and compare them. Mine also isn’t in the right place for the wind, but it gets enough I can pretty confidently multiply by a percentage to get the real number. I hope you find yours as interesting as I do.

I think it’s important that you know that another human being on Lemmy got both sides of your joke. You earned my upvote.

Oh! And we may get rid of Non-compete agreements because the FTC just voted to recommend a ban.

His FCC brought back net Neutrality. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/net-neutrality-fcc/

His CFPB put up limits to anti-consumer terms for payday loans and bank fees. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-cfpb-is-cleaning-up-junk-fees/

His administration raised fees for oil drilling in several major areas, although he also approved a large number of drilling permits so this may be a wash. https://apnews.com/article/oil-gas-drilling-public-lands-interior-climate-ffc88438d6f9c5d48e9a8fc7cffc749a

The UAW endorsed Biden. This gets weird, because many blame Biden for ending the rail strike, which he did, and which echoes the Bush Sr. Foul play with ATCs and pilots. But in exchange for ending the strike they got nearly everything they were asking for in the first place. Fain plays hardball and has probably gotten more for unions and their members than almost anyone, if he’s okay with Biden, I’m inclined to agree.

UC cousin in the house. I got a cheap bidet seat, loved it, and ended up splurging for the full on Toto, automated, temperature adjusted, and air dry bidet. If THAT’S not heaven, it’s awfully close .

Seriously, you’ll practically weep with how much less miserable a flare up is with one of these nearby.

That was a lame joke about the check mark. 😔
