I don’t know about competent but brazen for sure. Think they won’t try to steal the election by straight up bombing high density liberal areas? Oh, they definitely would.

Didn’t the Brennan Center come up with scenarios in his first term but didn’t anticipate an angry mob ransacking Congress as one of them?

If I was stating it was a genocide I wouldn’t have used a question mark. The US is applying a lot of pressure on Cuba but to what end? The regime falls and what? We create another failed state (a la Iraq or Afghanistan)? Does anyone really think Trump, of all people, wants Cuba and its people to be free? Trump doesn’t want Americans to be free!

Gaza 2.0?

Humans want to accomplish things, but business wants to get shit done. The two will always be at odds.

He doesn’t ever speak to the average American. Every word is to his donors and handlers.

That compact doesn’t address gerrymandering.

I hate this lazy coding approach. I see it at my work all the time where people keep proposing agents that do exactly what some of our tools already do, just slower, with more resources, and nondeterministic.

These new maps should come with a proposition for a new interstate compact.

If you hear our anthem turn your back, take a knee, walk away.

Ah, there’s that good old fashioned American Exceptionalism!

Which Chapter though?

I’m guessing, assuming the best intentions, she’s volunteering because otherwise the detainees would have no progress in their cases.

On the surface this sounds awesome actually. Male loneliness is definitely a contributor to the rise of Trump and fascism in general. I can somewhat relate too. Even though I’m married I have no good friends, just old ones hanging on by a thread. I feel like I’ve forgotten how to make friends and confide in anyone but my spouse. COVID really did a number on the world, far beyond the disease itself.

There’s “Christian values” then there’s “Christ’s values”. Never the twain shall meet.

“Hmm, these holes shouldn’t be here…”

I don’t believe this was missed at all. Even if it’s a bad look for the admin it’ll still soak up hundreds of hours of talk time when we should be talking about the depraved shit the victims statements accused Trump of doing to them.

He should reasonably be able to find artifacts on his own I would think, and he does eventually get passed the need to use them, but then that means most of his backstory gets abbreviated.

I always thought that was a bit lazy. Most other characters have multiple points in which you can recruit them. Not to mention you could lose Gale just because you had a bad dice roll.

Ha! Yeah, I mean no discouragement but I don’t think the devs designed you to do everything in one run. I mean, there are certain items that you can’t get unless certain important characters die. If you really wanted to collect everything that could be collected (just usable items, not junk) I imagine you’d have to play through the whole game 6 or more times.
