I am well aware of that, but thank you for your unsolicited pedantry. One may have noticed the quotes around the term and chosen to ignore them, but certainly not you.

(Also, I am still hunting for whatever source I read ages ago claiming that the Boston accent is pretty much what the generic British accent was 300 years ago because I can both easily believe it and completely doubt it.)

Ah, I miss my Massachusetts roots now, where watching new folks try to pronounce "Scituate" "Billerica" "Athol" and so many more is a source of endless hilarity.

This is like "My Genre" entirely, and Obsidian is just chef's kiss for environmental storytelling and little email thread/journal/note vignettes.

Oh Lord, any Fallout/Outer Worlds I am reading every terminal entry, snooping every conversation, opening every drawer in preparation for the next run where I will do the exact same thing but make slightly different quest choices!

A partial list of what Bovino does not have to tell a federal judge happened today:
*An agent pushed a City Council member in Albany Park
*Agents deployed pepper spray in Albany Park & Evanston
*Agents were involved in a car crash in Evanston
*An agent pointed a gun at a woman in Evanston

You realize things like "I can't talk about a pending case" "We can't comment on pending litigation" "My lawyers and I are not stupid" "Do you really think if you keep asking I can give you a different answer?" are dodges?

one of my favorite things is when the subject of a piece threatens a journalist and the journalist responds by casually printing everything very matter of factly

I asked Microsoft PR about thisβ€”specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICEβ€”and the company declined to comment.

I don't know why people are so excited about concerts. My cousin was trampled to death at The Who then stabbed at Altamont before he went septic from a ticket stub paper cut. You absolute ghouls.

if you think that a jewish woman getting murdered by a nazi paramilitary death squad is a good thing because she was a socialist, then i have some bad news for you about your actual politics.

Truly sick and dangerous scapegoating by the party that controls all three branches of the government.

I do not want ANYONE hungry to go without food or shelter or medicine, which I used to think was what differentiated "us" from "them", alas.

I grew up in Boston - moving to the bay area had a LOT to do with why I hate myself hitting the gym every morning working off all the food that we just do better out here. (Except lobster rolls and pizza)

Like - I also think that there are far more valuable things to argue about than what you're defining a neighborhood as, but as long as you're making life difficult for ICE, I don't care if you live in a yurt on top of a supermarket.

True - I mean in NYC, SF, San Jose, LA you'll get "suburban" single family homes with lawns and yards that are all in the city proper, but I'd say (for instance) I live in a suburban neighborhood in the city.

I have informed my kids that my grave needs a pressure plate that triggers samples of me telling people to stop stepping on me. My request for my headstone to be a life sized me giving finger guns with a smirk was summarily denied.

Extremely recently, Burning Airlines semi-reunion at Best Friends Forever fest might be the single best live show I have seen this century.

I am at work at the moment, but will look for the thread of his Reddit shit posts where he was specifically pointing out totenkopf vs "other skull insignia" and drop it here.
