Or… maybe we broke the boards with our tagging.

Thomas has been a liability as long as he’s been on the court.

It was kind of a big deal five years ago, but only because Felix was coming off of a 2-gold olympics. She more or less started a movement for all athletic apparel companies to be more inclusive of female athletes because of the attention her move to Athleta (Gap) and subsequent ESPN article brought. Why Caitlyn Jenner is bringing it up five years too late has more to do with the fact Caitlyn hates herself than any justified criticism of Nike.

Just goes to show, the art of bullshitting is completely lost.

Sinema is probably done if that's the route she wants to take. I mean, hunting unicorns is usually something a girl gives up before she turns 12.

I don’t doubt it, though some of the other complaints make me wonder how much control he had over the operation. The sushi thing reeks of mismanagement at the intermediate level if even remotely true.

Some of that seems preposterous. But, I don’t doubt the school was mismanaged.

He can if a hero for justice won’t step forward.

I totally missed the joke until just now.

You can’t even rule your own love life.

Totally you, G-man.

You would make an objectively awful leader, @Real_AirCooledGirl.

The problem is a complete collapse may be unavoidable. Not all dictators are despots, and, while it’s debatable whether or not Putin is the sole monster in the cave, his reign is more defined by the way his tactics have gutted the ranks of Russia’s civil servants than. Once he’s gone, there will be a power vacuum among a bunch of inept hardliners.

So you’re saying you’re unAmerican? That’s disappointing.

The Deluxe Edition, a tenth anniversary re-release, does include a bonus disc with some internal remixes / B-sides. Like most of these "deluxe" commemorative editions, It incudes the typical ancillary versions that would have been part of the original creative process - things like alternate edits and experimental riffs. It's been out for about 12 years, though, so not sure why you haven't heard it. Another thing about NIN is that Trent's songs have been out for so long and disseminated so often that how we recall the original music changes. Even after listening to "Closer" hundreds of times, I still misremember the arrangement and hear for the first time elements that were always there.

There is, apparently, an "electronic rock band" supergroup called AHZ that seems to have done a remix. Industrial isn't an obvious muse for electronica but it wouldn't be impossible.

Tricking constituents isn't really the question here. All politicians create an image for themselves that makes them electable; most aren't conclusively fraudulent human beings like Santos.

After he had, what, 27 years of political capital in the Senate to cache? By comparison, she had a third of that experience and she most likely used whatever that decade earned her in the 6 years she was out of office. Contrary to what out instincts might tell us, loyalty doesn't garner success in the political world, and that holds true even for experienced politicos. Loyalty is a means to an end and is as useful when it's shed as it was when it was used to build up currency. A guy like Specter was already at the upper end of his political lifespan (his actual lifespan as well) and making the switch was going to reap far more benefits for him in the short term given he had nearly three decades of political connections and favors to cache. Ms Cotham had little to offer her new party other than a veto proof supermajority which isn't going to translate into a successful post-political career. Specter may have cemented his legacy by making the switch, she's cemented her perpetual obscurity with hers.

He was going to give non-answers anyway. If reports are to be believed, he was mostly a pawn for various indeterminate proxies throughout the entire debacle.

That seems like a bit of overkill if she's only doing it out of spite. Even Trump doesn't do what he does solely out of spite - he does it because he has the base to make it work for him, at least to a degree. She's has no seniority in her new caucus; she has no political capital to make any constituent or, God forbid, personal priorities; and now she's has no political allies. I don't really see what she's getting out of this other than to hasten her own political demise.

It most definitely is horse shit, but it's also not that unsurprising given the state of politics. Progressives in particular, are susceptible to this ploy because it's far easier to espouse progressive ideals than to actually enact them.

How different?

Unless he takes a heel turn and claims the insurrection was his idea all along, I don’t think pleading the fifth benefits him all that much.

Ghosty…. When there is a revolt, what side will you be on?

I think pretty much every Isekai ever was inspired by D&D in some form.
