Something that rhymes with Yahtzee, perhaps?

Visitors to Greece appear ill informed about heatwave risk, warn rescuers (www.theguardian.com)

Over the past week, three search and rescue operations have been started for tourists who have gone missing during treks on far-flung islands, including one for the popular TV presenter Michael Mosley, who was found dead on the island of Symi....

harrys_balzac,

So, there are no weather reports in Greece? No TV, newspapers, radio, or Internet? All these tourists just show up and hope they can find a local who is a polyglot meteorologist?

harrys_balzac,

I was just thinking that 20 would only cover about half an average class

2016 was awful…it was like choosing between breaking some ribs or a breaking a femur. It was going to suck no matter what. Turns out the femur break was a compound fracture that had gangrene set in.

In retrospect do I wish she had won? Yes. Definitely. On the other hand, that might have meant a 2020 Trump victory.

Unless she really embraced the progressive wing of the party and really moved the country forward in terms of resolving home ownership, income stagnation, or health care in an impactful way, I can’t imagine her getting a second term.

harrys_balzac,

If Bernie had gotten the nomination I would have probably gotten involved, even though I’m in Utah and they’d vote for Hitler if he was Republican. Especially if Jesus ran as a Democrat.

harrys_balzac,

Kinda… mostly because the best ones never become candidates. The parties push the candidates that serve the interests of the partys donors then try to convince the voters they actually care.

Most elections are a choice between two mediocre candidates.

With the current state of the Republican party, it’s truly about getting more of them out of power. Unless you’re a white Christofascist bootlicker.

Starfield - not even once, kids.

Why was Trump talking about sharks at a campaign event? (www.usatoday.com)

“It must be because of M.I.T., my relationship with M.I.T., very smart. I say, 'What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater, and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?” Trump said. “By...

harrys_balzac,

Good to know!

harrys_balzac,

You are allowed to bring one personal item, that is, you can bring yourself.

You have built the Golden Gate Suicide Wonder. Population will decrease 5% per year in all water tiles.

harrys_balzac,

None of them from my state…cuz I live in mfing Utah and I’m sure the entire Congressional delegation would happily write messages on IGF bombs.

harrys_balzac,

The trucker sticker on the rear window is a clue though it’s too blurry to read other than “merci.”

harrys_balzac,

Yep. Netanyahu publicly supported Hamas for just this reason - he knew they’d eventually provide justification to invade Gaza.

He and far too many Israelis don’t want to work with the Palestinians to find a solution. The same can be said for the Palestinians.

Too many people in power who just want more of it.

Do I Need to Watch Discovery To Enjoy SNW?

Hi all! Long time Star Trek fan here with my first post. I’m gonna start out by saying that I promise I’m not a hater of Discovery at all. It just has done nothing for me and from what I read, has not made any changes that would have solved my personal issues with it. I’m fine with others liking it and honestly wish that I...

harrys_balzac,

I started watching SNW with having only finished S1 of Disco. After a couple of episodes, I decided I wanted to know the references.

I enjoyed S2 of Disco much more than S1 and that was 90+% because of the SNW cast being introduced.

Everything I didn’t like about Disconwas still there, but less of it.

In retrospect, I would have appreciated your advice. There were some good episodes but most of it was unnecessary.

Find a used one if you can. It was definitely one of my favorites. My Pikmin and Animal Crossing lives started there.

It was just a good solid system.

harrys_balzac,

How many are bots/paid for by Russia and China?

harrys_balzac,

“Everything.”

harrys_balzac,

It’s an emotional support porn star

harrys_balzac,

Most of that will be channeled to pay his civil fines, etc. I doubt the RNC or any state GOP committee is going to see much from it.

harrys_balzac,

I’m sure the prosecutors will be bringing this up at the sentencing. I’m also sure the judge watched.

Since he has been convicted, everything T**** says in public can be used to influence his sentencing.

harrys_balzac,

The first 2 seasons of Disco are worth it, in my opinion, since it segues to Strange New Worlds. I had no idea that Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds existed. Once I heard about them, I checked them out and enjoyed them a lot.

Don’t forget The Orville. Spiritually more like Star Trek than Discovery for the most part.

harrys_balzac,

Same here. I use GamePass and PS Plus to play games I’m interested in but not enough to buy right out the gate. I enjoy finding games that I’ve never heard of and enjoy. If I like it enough, I’ll buy it.

harrys_balzac,

Just call it “BungOLE”

harrys_balzac,

On here, it’s not so much the Faux News crowd but the tankies trying to “one issue” Trump back into power.

Majority of Americans wrongly believe US is in recession – and most blame Biden (www.theguardian.com)

Nearly three in five Americans wrongly believe the US is in an economic recession, and the majority blame the Biden administration, according to a Harris poll conducted exclusively for the Guardian. The survey found persistent pessimism about the economy as election day draws closer....

harrys_balzac,

Not the sharpest bulb in the tree.

harrys_balzac,

Last I knew, nobody was committing genocide in the name of Baphomet or Satan Lucifer…or pretty much any god except the Dommy Abrahamic Sky Daddy.

harrys_balzac,

Same reasons why people still use Facebook - too many folks who think it’s still a good thing.

harrys_balzac,

Nice. I started playing the first one but ended up having to get rid my XBox so I never got close to finishing.

Looks like I might go back and play it before the sequel hits EA.

harrys_balzac,

I can’t believe I forgot Caesar and Pharaoh. I played the f out of those when I was a PC only player. I sucked at them but loved them.

harrys_balzac,

As an American, I’d like the UK to provide Mexico with the same weapons so they can launch strikes into Texas, Florida, and Alabama.

harrys_balzac,

I would say something about cognitive dissonance but that gives people like this too much credit.

harrys_balzac,

Fortunately, the DoD seems to have readying things for the bill to pass and get signed. It shouldn’t take too long for things to flow to the front.

harrys_balzac,

Serbia. China. Turkey. US. UK. Rwanda. South Africa. Belgium. The Haudenosaunee. Israelites under Moses and Joshua. Assyrians. Stalins USSR.

Uncommitted voters are not apathetic. The Democratic party is (www.theguardian.com)

What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

harrys_balzac,

It’s like people forgot how many Americans died during the height of the pandemic because T**** is a fucking idiot.

Anyone who is even remotely near the crosshairs of the Christofascists needs to pull their head out of their ass and vote Democrat this election.

The Republicunts don’t care if you think “both sides are bad” if you’re LGBTQ+, atheist, non-Christian, think abortion should be freely available, etc.

Ideals and principles don’t stop bullets or beatings.

About to try the Outer Worlds

I’ve been very busy with work the last few months so I haven’t really played any games, but things are finally starting to get back to normal a bit and I wanted to try this RPG. I played it a bit when it came out but decided to really dive into it this time. Just wondering if there’s anyone here who’s played it and has...

harrys_balzac,

I’ve played it off GamePass a few times since it was released.

Is it a great game? Not at all. Is it entertaining? Yes.

The characters are all a little odd in different ways, making it interesting to try different combos for parties, depending on what you think you might be running into.

I told myself that I was going to spend more time with my other companions but I almost always have Parvati with me.

Depending on how you build your character initially, you’ll find that you’ll want different companions for different tasks. That means some backtracking but there is some fast travel and I know I’ll miss loot at times, so it’s usually worth it.

Definitely not open world but that’s okay if you don’t have hours to spend wandering down a track only to find some BS loot.

Dialogue options do make a difference and that is what kept me going back. All the “I wonder what’ll happen if I …” is fun to explore.

Again, the customer is always right - in matters of style and taste.

harrys_balzac,

Everyones favorite source - “trust me, bro.”

harrys_balzac,

Is the Kraken in the room with us now?

harrys_balzac,

I wasn’t meaning that you had no sources…I was referring to the asshat you replied to.

I did a poorly job of communicating stuff

harrys_balzac,

There’s always the chance they’ll end up starting a nuclear war with Pakistan. I wouldn’t put it past Modi to nuke India.

harrys_balzac,

She’d probably end up missing and hitting someone else.

harrys_balzac,

I appreciate your appreciation, random Internet stranger.

harrys_balzac,

Don’t tell me how to live my life! You’re not even my real dad!

harrys_balzac,

harrys_balzac,

The few people I know who have mentioned they’d vote for him are people who would vote (or did vote) for T****.

harrys_balzac,

I wish more Trump Supporters were media literate so that these words might reach them.

harrys_balzac,

Baldurs Gate 4: From EA. $99 for the base game. Then you have the season pass with unique characters (squirrels you can kick), as well as character DLCs, then don’t forget all the skins. Oh! Did we mention that Act 2 and Act 3 are sold separately?

harrys_balzac,

Don’t. Don’t give me hope.
