So, is the government just easing into the obvious, or does this Bessent character just not give a fuck about his job anymore?

I’d probably have to resort to fraud. I’d just say I needed seed money for some AI bullshit, and BAM, I’d be swimming in cash overnight.

This is the most disgusting thing I’ve seen the Supreme Court do lately, and that’s saying quite a bit.

“It’s 100% natural!” “So is arsenic.” …

When I see “without chemicals” I just assume it’s shorthand for “without known harmful chemicals, probably” until I carefully read the label and learn more

Thank you for your valuable perspective. I was just thinking that I’d take it as a compliment, but then, I’m a guy.

I’m sure this will be a complete success, and I see no downsides.

Gross. I’m sorry you have to put up with that.

Superman.

Yeah, that’s an obvious choice, but I like his character more than his superpowers. He’s civil and polite to various world governments, but ultimately, there’s no stopping him from doing the right thing.

If he’s too powerful and that’s a negative to you, substitute Captain America. The same reasoning applies.

I don’t care that I’ve seen this before. It’s just funny.

What determines what “too big” is?

Ease of travel and speed of travel. Even a small map can feel cumbersome, repetitive, and boring. If the missions are designed poorly, and the game mechanics ignore an entertaining user experience, walking down the same hallway a thousand times can feel like a chore.

“Too big” is a relative feeling that involves many factors.

I’m watching a friend play it on Twitch right now

I’m pretty sure it was something like “Dracula doesn’t have a castle because he’s a vampire. He has a castle because he’s a Count.”

If this is annoying and pedantic, I apologize. For whatever reason, the original post isn’t displaying for me.

That’s a good question, and it deserves a better answer than I can provide

If you hate Putin’s bullying of Ukraine, definitely watch this video. It’s only 20 minutes, and it’ll make your day.

If you’re a fan of Putin, just keep your head buried in the sand.

I only use it to cover my ass because I’m not sure I’m right

She’s using her emotional problems as a way to manipulate you and avoid responsibility. Is that something you want more of in the future? You are an ideal victim for this type of emotional abuse, and she’s unlikely to change without professional help. Are you staying with her because you care about her, or because you’re afraid of what will happen if you leave?

If a perishable product comes in an opaque plastic container, that’s a deliberate choice. Always be suspicious of it.

You reminded me of one of my favorite quotes. I bet your wife will like it too:

“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.” - Mark Twain

I’m definitely not pushing my wife in any direction, just listening and supporting.

I hope your wife realizes how lucky she is

I’m glad you took a stand. Surgery is “bad”, but it’s a lot better than just pretending the problem doesn’t exist.
