I resent this notion: when the tax evaders pumped money into trump with the humble request of practically no longer paying taxes, Trump was there for them in an instant. When the arms industry was about to ask for an even more ludicrous cut of the national budget, he diverted even more their way before they could even finish the sentence. When the companies cutting up the carcass of the environment for money at the cost of a livable planet asked for the removal of any sort of environmental protection laws, Trump was there for them. When the monopolist student loan providers, private hospital operators, or private prison complex slavers were asking for unfettered access to all their victims’ money, Trump gave them the go in a heartbeat, so I will not stand for anyone saying that Trump doesn’t care about Americans. They just have to be the couple super-rich lobbies bribing him and his cronies.
Retarded? You obviously don’t understand that it is working perfectly and exactly as intended. Only, it is not a system to maintain the health of the average citizen, it is instead a system to siphon as much wealth from the regular people as possible towards the few corporate entities who managed to buy themselves the monopoly to exploit the poorer castes and drain any poor fuck who needs medical assistance dry for all they’re worth.
The average American is prey, but there are enough reserves of these human resources to simply not care that it’s either bankruptcy or death in the average case of a medical emergency.
I just noticed this when I saw a strange “Achievement Unlocked” notification pop up on Reddit. What do you think of this?

They have all their bots creating first-class content. They don’t even need mods anymore. They don’t need humans anymore. They are basically a self-sufficient bot word factory and AI breeding ground. Like, if I ever felt the urge to rate babes with my masterful babe-rating skills or use my excellent human-judging skills to discern whether the repost-bot is the asshole in that regurgitated story, I’d go there in a heartbeat.
This was my conment on a post saying that pregnant people should always be used instead of pregnant women. My comment was under someone saying vitamins for pregnant women should say vitamins for pregnant people. I have a trans son and many trans friends. My comment was not promoting hate!

A little bit of friendly advice a very wise person gave once:
Truthfully I think getting triggered by a stupid label on a pill bottle is kind of unnecessary. Just rip it off or write over it. Not a big deal. 100% of the people buying them are people so they put people on the label or something…big deal. Its just a vitamin for pregnant people! Its the same thing no matter what color the bottle or what gendered nonsense is written on it. Smh.
It must suck going around choosing to be triggered by something like that. It shouldn’t be that difficult to just be secure in your own indentity and stop letting the way the world works get under your skin. So maybe instead of finding even more cumbersome paraphrases like “pregnant individuals” just to be contrarian when “people” is just as accurate and shorter, be secure in your identity. Don’t let the way the world works get under your skin.

While there is no at-will cantrip that directly heals, the unlockable illithid power Transfuse Health lets one heal another character at the cost of half one’s current hp.

When will the patches be stable enough that one would -with a reasonable degree of certainty- no longer expect save corruption anymore in the process?

Yes, turns out that insulting your customers when they complain because you took away all the good stuff in order to incentivise spending money via your very bad alternatives will piss off even the last few masochistic users still remaining on reddit, so you have to eat some crow and try to somehow monetize the last thing you took away instead.
(It’s worth noting that although there were understandable concerns about the Contributor Program leading to karma farming or other spam and fraud issues, we haven’t seen an increase in this behavior since the rollout six months ago.)
For many Star Wars faithful, bringing up the canned Boba Fett 1313 title instantly evokes some painful memories. The game, which was set to start the beloved bounty hunter from the original movie trilogy, was revealed over a decade ago but was canceled quite soon after its reveal, leaving fans of the franchise to wallow and...
If Disney made 1313 today, every measurement of time would be given in parsecs, Boba would never shoot at anybody before sitting on a bench and getting shot at dozens of times, half the time with the shooter missing point-blank, the other half pinging off the beskar, only to end with Boba regretfully shooting his opponent after giving them time to say “Maclunkey!” into the camera. There would be a musical number before, during and after each such exchange.
Oh my god. Do you think this could have a noticeable impact on the economy? I hope shareholders won’t be slightly inconvenienced in the short term. THAT is something we must avoid NO MATTER WHAT THE COST.
(I mean, what have future generations ever done for US, huh? It’s their own fault if they’re not yet alive enough to stop us from burning their planet.)
