Shoulder Devil

Like there's no significant or meaningful change, Trump just wanted to be able to put his name on something again to say he's doing stuff.

Would not be the slightest bit surprised to learn the whole reason "China's already done their part" is that any supposed trade deal to come from this is just the same as the previous one.

The Puppy Bowl is an actual thing and I honestly watch more of it than the Super Bowl each year.

You know what you did, it was on a day that ended in Y

I kind of hate how effective that shit is with their voters, though.

"more of map red, that means more red voters, blue must have cheated" is weirdly difficult to dislodge once it's burrowed in there.

Oh, that was an easy block.

Don't need anyone shilling for crappy GenAI instead of, y'know, effort. Especially someone who should, in theory but clearly not in practice, fucking know better.

Hear me out:

So, did he need to be hosed out of the courtroom afterward, or was it more of a disintegration and there was just nothing left?

Very much not a lawyer but I would cry ANIME level tears on the spot, at bare minimum, if I ever faced this in court from a judge.

Very respectfully, holy shit.

made worse by the fact that his on-camera persona was *viscerally* grating and obnoxious, so.

Even the "appeal to my former, extremely niche appeal" strategy still leads to "oh, right, sleazy and completely insufferable"

I cannot imagine why anyone would do this

Pretty sure I remember it became a meme with him, specifically, given the circumstances of his arrest

So, that's probably coming back up, only louder this time.

first link I could find based on what I could recall about the details, I cannot remember the actual citation specifically

But I remember there being a decision that said fingerprint unlock was fair game just because you'd be fingerprinted at the station anyway.

Appeals court rules that cops can physically make you unlock your phone The 9th Circuit determined that forcibly mashing a suspect's thumb into his phone to unlock it was akin to fingerprinting him at the police station.

Is it this one?

At the same time, for somebody supposedly in great health, he's acting an awful lot like a dying emperor.

Understandable, I have the same approach to certain alleged historical duels.

I honestly expect them to act as if nothing has changed and just maintain the same "well, uh, it's just God acting through an imperfect instrument" bullshit

and acting like everyone else is just making a big deal out of nothing

I'm now going to be stuck imagining everyone else sharing news just busting through the wall like the Kool-Aid man to shout new developments at us.

But does she honor the dibs?

Because that sounds like a pretty fantastic arrangement if she honors the dibs.

Like MAGA absolutely treats the guy as a golden calf, saying anything bad about him (no matter how accurate) is like blasphemy to them.

Wonder if we could convince them to set up screenings where they let you through if you can hurl enough colorful insults at the guy.

If your barbs are weak or it sounds like your heart's not in it, they don't let you in, but if you roast that motherfucker they just nod politely and let you pass.

Oh good, I was gonna ping her if nobody else did.

By far the BEST advantage being that, as a skellyman (or woman), you don't need lockpicks, you just use your boney fingers :>

(Lizards, meanwhile, don't need shovels to dig, and elves can read memories and randomly gain new skills by eating people's remains :D )

Also saw several custom races, but haven't really browsed through yet. I find the four-ish you get work just fine.

And I say "ish" because there's an undead variant for each of them (Human, Dwarf, Elf, Lizard), and undead has its own perks and drawbacks.

I don't use any just because I imagine it'd cause problems trying to play with anyone without the same mods installed, but from a glance it seems like there's a good variety. Plenty of quality-of-life ones like class reworks, if nothing else.

not mine but THE GOOD BOY!!!

But by far my favorite thing is embracing the chaos of a Necromancer + Warrior class (Inquisitor), and not only stacking damage but also healing from any blood on the ground

Which there will most certainly be plenty of.

Especially after you learn how to make it *literally rain blood* :D

(related, but Buddy is also THE GOODEST BOY and deserves all of the belly rubs and snacks)

You can talk to ALL the animals and they're all voiced and an endless source of entertainment.

At one point you can even end up cornered by murderous hounds, hold up a ball, and hear a chorus of "BALL? BALL! BALL BALL BALL!"

and then just walk away completely unharmed by throwing it

Feel like his browser history would be just as illuminating.

You just know he's gotta have several bookmarks devoted to countdown clocks until a given underage celebrity turns 18.
