The Pathfinder games ($3.99, $11.99) and Shadowrun: Dragonfall ($3.74) are on sale for cheap.

Hard West is only $2 and it's pretty good, X-COM style but with named characters and more story focused and a kinda quirky luck system where shots automatically miss if you have enough but it lowers your luck, getting hit gives you luck back, and you can also spend luck on abilities, so if you're behind cover and just get grazed it can work to your advantage. There's also a sequel ($8.99) that I haven't played.

X-COM 2 ($3.99) and Darkest Dungeon ($3.74) are cheap, but if you're interested in those you've probably already played them. Into the Breach ($7.49) is also good.

Wildermyth ($17.49) is an interesting little indie game. You start out with three characters who are random people who rose to the occasion to become adventures, and encounter random events that can develop them in different ways. The stories are pretty well-written, but they are self-contained, which allows them to be incorporated into your own random characters' stories, but they don't like tie together into a larger story. It's kind of a unique approach and works... ok. The combat system works well, easy to understand, but with more choices available as you level up.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark ($4.49) is heavily inspired by FF Tactics but the story is forgettable and you're playing as a fantasy cop, on the plus side the gameplay is less janky and the classes are better balanced compared to FFT, imo.

Super Lesbian Animal RPG ($9.74) I haven't played but I vaguely remember hearing something good about somewhere and am thinking of picking it up.

Honestly this guy just seems like he was looking for a way to get sent to prison, or suicide by cop. What else can you make from someone running a checkpoint at a political rally claiming his water bottle was C-4 and randomly throwing around a bunch of fertilizer? It's either gotta be that or he was just completely out of his mind and didn't know what he was doing.

I'm sorry, but that just sounds like a rebrand of the same old, right vs left politics we've been stuck with for generations. Everyone should check out my blog, where I've invented an entirely new ideology, unlike anything that's ever been tried before, which is a third way that takes the best parts of both sides. Everyone in the country puts aside their differences and works together to make the nation as strong and powerful as it can be. No more of this divisive and archaic "class conflict" stuff, everyone can come together and unify against the real bad guys who are trying to destroy our beautiful country.

I'm happy to come on to any platform to talk about it. Any open-minded left-leaning person should be happy to have me (unless they're some of crazy extremist who just calls everyone a Nazi), because I've deradicalized a lot of far-right people by selling them on my ideology, Social Nationalism.

Windshield-involved collision

In the view of the established religion, the salvation of the imperial family was hailed as divine intervention by the Sovereign. Pamphlets by clergymen linked the miraculous escape to the miracles of 17th-century icons at the end of the great plague of 1654–1655; the laity believed that prayers in front of these icons enabled the survival of the Tsar. A special icon of the God's Grace on the 17th of October, made for the occasion, widely circulated in photographic copies. Moscow, the old shrine of Orthodoxy, was perceived as the source of the miracle; a contemporary pamphlet declared that the "power that Moscow had professed and that had exalted her revoked these laws [of Nature]".

Part of the reason for the election spectacle is to make people feel invested in their decision to vote for whoever they do. If you vote for someone and they get elected, then any criticism of that person is a criticism of you and your decision making.

People were fine with criticizing both Biden and Kamala during the 2020 primaries, because they weren't invested in defending their decision, but the moment he became the nominee, he became a shining pillar of perfection, and as soon as he was no longer the nominee, he lost that. It almost gives you whiplash how quickly they switch back and forth between stanning everything he does. I've also seen the bullshit talking point of, "Congress controls weapons sales to Israel, Biden would love to stop it but can't because he's just a smol bean" (ignoring all the times he bypassed Congress to send more weapons) suddenly disappear from liberals' mouths. Seamlessly, they've switched over to BlueAnon conspiracy theories about how Kamala is secretly pro-Palestinian and is just pretending not to be to fool ~~the deep state~~ Zionist voters, or just willfully misinterpreting her statements as pro-Palestinian.

No propaganda could ever compete with what voting does to people's brains.

Wouldn't that also require the hijackers to stay seated and keep oxygen masks on?

Of course not all of the energy used to power the pump is lost (that's the whole idea) but there is still some energy loss. Maybe it's only a small amount like you say with the turbine but that's what I was referring to.

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I know that's a thing I just don't know how it compares to what OP is talking about

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago

It seems like you'd lose a fair bit of energy from powering the pump and from the turbine not capturing 100% but I don't actually know how it compares to other types of energy storage.

This pic goes so hard, it's hard to believe this is the source (CW: transphobia)

They are called transfem feet and transmasc feet. The conversions to Standard Burger Units (sbu) are as follows:

1 foot (transfem) = 1.1 foot (sbu)

1 foot (sbu) = 1.1 foot (transmasc)

If you're a transfem who would be 6' (sbu), you are now 5'5" (tf). If you're transmasc and would be 5'5" (sbu), you are now 6' (tm).

These new units could help marginally with height dysphoria, and the only tradeoff is being extremely confusing.

Thank you and you're welcome.

 

I know some of the basics but I'm still confused about certain rules. When does an S become a SS and when does it become a $ (and what about $$)? I also don't know how to handle words that don't have an S or a K in them.

I was hoping to translate the core BDS list, but some of them are proving challenging:

  • HP (Hewlett Packard)
  • Siemans
  • AXA
  • SodaStream
  • Ahava
  • Sabra
  • Puma
  • Israeli fruits and vegetables

I was thinking something like HeWaffen PacKKKard and SSodaSStream but I'm not sure about the rest.

Thanks.

Edit: Forgot to list Puma

I'm going to an event soon and the last time I was there there were some of those awful street preachers with megaphones shouting bigotry. They're a nuisance and nobody wants them there, but it's a public festival and evidentially they're allowed to be there.

I tried looking online (reddit-logo)and most of the advice was stupid lib shit, ranging from, "Call the cops and tell them they're violating statute blah blah blah" or, "Just ignore them, you can't change their minds and engaging just feeds their persecution complex." Obviously the cops do nothing, I don't care about changing their minds or what they think I just want to shut them up. But I also don't want to get arrested and if possible, it'd be nice to avoid disturbing the other people further.

Most likely, I'm just gonna have to endure it, but I thought I'd raise the question for brainstorming bc it feels like a common enough situation that other people will encounter it too. Best I can think is screaming something back at them emilie-shrug

UPDATE: I ended up just wearing a bunch of pride stuff and then they weren't even there lol

 

Well have you considered
