This ain't it, Sen. Booker. Fix the tax code, stop letting tax breaks create billionaires who don't have to follow the same rules as the rest of us. Most of us don't mind paying into the government; we mind how you are spending our money.

I have played enough video games to know there's something worth getting to behind this wall.

Setting aside getting byes and points, for your average player sometimes it was fun to go to a nearby GP for the social aspect, checking out the vendors, and who knows? Maybe you spike the event randomly.

A song written and sung by two people who would have hated these dimwits. Especially Sinead.

It's such a conundrum. The problem with the U.S. finally learning its lesson is I live here, and it will hurt all the wrong people. Unless maybe it finally forces us to impose actual consequences on the wealthy and powerful.

We are governed by the cringiest, most embarrassing, Internet brain-rotted dipshits imaginable. I didn't want to believe this was real, but there it is on the WH Twitter page. Some 20-something dork is so pleased with himself right now.

Hand them both knives, toss them into an arena, and let them fight it out so we can gamble on the winner. Oh, wait, "predict" the winner.

I don't think so?

Haven't any of these dimwits ever watched _The Princess Bride_ vis-a-vis making classic blunders?

My God, they are somehow replacing Noem with someone who has even fewer working neurons.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - that infamous commie, General Dwight David Eisenhower.

I love cooking for my family, and I suppose viewed through some lens or another it could be a spiritual experience. But somehow I don't believe that is the lens this man is thinking of.

We are led by aggressively stupid people who have the memory of goldfish on top of it. "Oh, fighting on multiple fronts has always worked out fine, don't be silly."

This dude is so full of shit, I could smell it through my wi-fi. "It's not gambling if our customers are smart" is some pants on head nonsense.

Someone went to the liquor store and bought a six-pack of Douchebag Light, I see.

It's still less than the contempt the man himself has for the people who voted for him.

He is mentally trapped in the 80s in that regard.

Possibly Champions, maybe Top Secret? First fantasy non-D&D RPG was Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play, for sure.

Does pick 2 drafting have any adherents? Are people clamoring for more of that vs. 8-person tables? I don't know anyone who enjoys it.

Those three sets felt at least thematically like Magic to me in a way that SM and TMNT do not.

This man either genuinely loves his city and the people in it, or he's the best damn actor I have ever seen.

I agree with this, although I think a set tanking can also be an LGS's problem, especially if the store's health is only so-so to start with.

I watched ~30 seconds of one of those videos, and that was more than enough for me to know I don't want to hear from any of those people ever again.

I have never been able to make myself watch that movie, even though I know it is an all-timer.

I am normally of the opinion that the scolds and moralists among us are on the wrong side of most issues, but the anti-gambling people might be onto something. And that is setting aside not being able to go a day without being bombarded by ads for Draft Kings, et. al.

Pixar did a great job making you think for one moment that they were maybe, actually going to go full "Old Yeller" here, just traumatizing an entire generation of kids.

And in that vein, "Why are you crying? It's just a kid's movie."

The movie:

Gotta get the kids all in on thinking they need things they don't actually need early.
