More rope to hang himself with...I hope.

We'll find out in a little over two weeks.

Nah, Lae'zel is just horny.

It's kinda funny how bitchy she gets if you turn her down.

Preach. The DNC deserve their share of the blame, and berating voters for not wanting to vote for shit candidates (especially how the DNC sabotaged the likes of Howard Dean and Bernie Sanders).

Dubya was the result of GOP fuckery, but Trump was a self-inflicted wound.

Do it.

See what happens.

Which is hilarious, because Colin Cowherd is an asshole who gets paid to spew inflammatory sports takes on camera/radio, and I fucking agree with him.

slumlordthanatos , 29 days ago to politics in Mary Trump says her uncle "absolutely" should go to jail

If I'm Judge Merchan, I'd cite Trump's naked attempts to intimidate the jury, witnesses, and the judge (as well as multiple violations of his gag order) as an excuse to throw the book at him.

I'd point out that all Trump had to do to get a slap on the wrist was keep his mouth shut, because it's my understanding that most people convicted of falsifying business documents don't get jail time; they usually just get fined, get some community service, maybe probation if it's bad. Most first-time defendants characterize this crime as an innocent mistake and behave accordingly, but Trump and his ego had to run his mouth.

slumlordthanatos , 1 month ago to News in Millennials are 'quiet vacationing' rather than asking their boss for PTO: 'There's a giant workaround culture'

My company doesn't pay out for unused PTO, so my boss will periodically (but more often towards the end of the year) tell us to use our vacation days if we still have some. He'll even call us and basically beg us to use them if we still have some in October.

I used to feel bad about calling out or taking PTO when I worked hospitality, because I knew that if I wasn't there, someone else had to fill in. Now I do warranty repairs for major PC manufacturers, so if I call out or take PTO, some clients might be annoyed, but I'm not inconveniencing any of my coworkers. It helps that my boss is awesome and encourages us to use it or call in if we don't feel well.

It would be the ideal platform for the GOP to run on...if they weren't also in AIPAC's pocket like the Democrats and Biden.

Man, Camellia's arc is a pretty twisty one, and she's probably the most fascinating party member in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. If you've finished your fifth playthrough of BG3 and are hungry for a different flavor, WotR is an easy recommend.

It honestly looks like someone photoshopped long hair onto Titus' face. It has the same expression as he did at the end of the Space Marine 2 announcement trailer.

The world is changed.

I smell it in the air.

Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.

slumlordthanatos , 2 months ago to Ghazi in Why Warhammer 40K fans are freaking out over a female Custodes in the new codex

Why is it only a problem when they retcon female protagonists in to things rather than out?

Please don't put words in my mouth. The issue was with how suddenly they changed it and how they clarified it, not with the change itself.

Retcons suck. Going straight from "Women can't be made into Custodes" to "Oh, there have always been female Custodes, you just didn't see them in 30 years of lore, even though we explicitly said they couldn't exist!" is just lazy and jarring, no matter the subject matter. Clarifying it with a tweet instead of just letting it speak for itself just poured gasoline on it.

This is a good thing GW tried to do, they just handled it poorly.

slumlordthanatos , 2 months ago to Ghazi in Why Warhammer 40K fans are freaking out over a female Custodes in the new codex

Like, this take is entirely fair. Incels are gonna incel, no matter what GW does, but this wasn't the way to change this.

GW has gradually been moving in this direction; IG regiments were originally all men, then they had gender-segregated regiments, then mixed regiments started becoming more and more common until they became the norm. And this is something I'm all for; a flashlight lasgun is gonna be equally effective in the hands of men or women.

But you shouldn't retcon established lore (even if it is problematic) with a tweet.

slumlordthanatos , 2 months ago to News in Semiautomatic firearm ban passes Colorado's House, heads to Senate

I feel like a better option here would be limits on magazine capacities. Limiting internal and box magazine capacities to 5-10 rounds on semiautomatic firearms could have the same effect without it being an outright ban. Maybe have different capacities for handguns and rifles.

This is just more ammo (heh) for 2nd Amendment voters. Being a bit more clever about it could convince some of them to drop their resistance.
