I don’t know about truly NSFW, but I’ve known a few firehouses whose crew pose for calendar pictures and then use the proceeds for a party or expenses. Maybe call your local fire station?

What the hell, that sounds like an amazing day.

We’re playing with a wireless keyboard, we had a bad time playing the first game with controller. I really wish they had a “sticky drag”, where you could click on a box to pick it up and then click again to drop it into a slot.

The wife and I are on the penultimate chapter of Rise of the Golden Idol, which has been an excellent sequel to the first.

On my own, I finished up Plague Tale: Innocence, which was… okay. The stealth elements were alright and the puzzles were somewhat enjoyable, but it dragged a little bit and I was a little annoyed with the combat (the final boss was pretty good). I also 100%'d World of Horror, which took me absolutely forever.

An ex-coworker of mine recommended Mango Languages, which is supposed to be much better and also if you have a library card, you can usually get a subscription for free through them! The lessons are probably a little longer than 30 seconds, but not too much longer. I’d say a minute tops.

Usually RCV is an initiative or referendum depending on how your state does it. In mine, it’s just a separate issue on the back that we have to vote for, alongside things like “should we institute a tax for schools” or “should we approve building a new park”. Entirely separate from voting for candidates for any position.

Don’t forget a little note saying "Think this is stupid? Vote for Ranked-Choice Voting!’

The cultural victory, if you will.

I think the fact that you’ve spent a lot of time in liberal organizations is why you think that way about where it falls on the continuum between progressivism and conservatism.

Interesting that you characterize my statement as "both sides"ing. I would say the thrust of my statement is not “both sides” but “one side”. America does not have a progressive party, only conservative and conservative-lite. Given the choice, of course I’ll choose the latter, not least because the former is so far off the deep end it may never recover as a party. That does not mean I think that both parties are the same.

Visually:

--------Progressivism ------------------------ Center ------ Liberalism --------------------------- Conservatism.

Liberals and conservatives are more similar than liberals and progressives.

Seconded! It also has a more informative cycling interface.

Misanthrope?

I am, thank you! It’s pretty common in my city, the police took one look at the surveillance footage and shrugged it off. I hope the thief got a decent amount for it.

The new ebike was my first big purchase after getting the new job, and it’s a ton of fun. :)

My first ebike was stolen, about a week after I’d put it together. I was looking forward to zipping around my city with it. What really sucked is that I had bought it before getting laid off, and was looking forward to zipping around the city for fun while I looked for a new job. Luckily, I did find something new after 6 months and could eventually buy a new one.

Brother printers are easily within 100-200.

Are you even looking at them?

It’s interesting to see how much of Canada has bitten the American onion over the past few decades.

The big differentiator in this thread is “can you bend?” because if you’re stuck in an Air temple unable to fly, that would kind of suck. I guess if you had a buddy with a sky bison, that might make it easier. But the Earth kingdom seems to have their shit the most figured out out of all the kingdoms (Fire’s fascism notwithstanding).

Yes. It belies the fact that they don’t want to think about anything past surface-level reactionary takes.

Well the lessons there were a) don’t be a conniving bitch, and b) don’t be a stepmom or stepsister.

While Europe is far ahead in terms of training for police, I don’t think even 4 years is enough.
