Never played that specific iteration of Bioshock (Infinite, I think?) but the series has ways to give yourself powers, flame powers are one. I only played the first one though.

I swear we just had this conversation when the Maine oysterguy turned out to be Nazi. It's entirely possible for awful people to stop being awful, but that doesn't mean they are owed the right to power over people or access to their victims, and we're not required to launder their reputations.

I'm An Old so I think DIY Halloween costumes are the best costumes ever so I think you'll be just fine.

And one of the granny episodes is top 5 best Bluey episodes for me (Granny Mobile).

I have small children and can recognize a Granny anywhere!

Rotini. Penne is right there to hold onto sauce, but these mfers gotta be extra and have weird frills to mess with your texture.

Witchcraft. I still can't make any kind of rice on the stove, I have to use my rice cooker or it comes out over and under cooked at the same time.

For Chrissakes trash panda I have been analyzing these tiktok metrics of inflatable costumes dancing all afternoon but Samantha says Kenleigh wants us to get more antif-luencers onboard and you missed the department void-screaming. What do we do????

Natural consequences are the best teacher sometimes.

I do not think those school assemblies are all that's going on. I doubt (hope?) it's anything very seriously nefarious, but I am positive there's certainly some lobbying going on to gauge favorability and loyalty to a cause. I know they're all show ponies but calling them all just for 2 hours of bs?

Also, regarding multi generation houses, I think we all kinda need to get on the same page as to what expectations are. Because norms and what's considered ok has changed and I think it's always gonna be hard to do what works for everyone without steamrolling someone "for the family good"

It's one of the reasons the fascists demand performative fawning - because nobody actually likes them and doesn't want anything to do with them on their own so they have to force it. They tell themselves they're ok with that, that they've owned the libs, but they're absolutely 100% not ok with it.

I mean, the Republicans are gonna accuse them of supporting political violence whatever they did or said. Even now after having sold their souls and voting for it they're being painted as secret terrorists out to murder everyone on the right. So they could have just said 'fuck it' and said no.

Also? I AM tired of public figures having to fall all over themselves for people we know full damn well were awful, and wail about how 'violence is bad' like it would do anything. A man suffered the predictable results of the world he was agitating for. "And yet it moves..."

I had 18 spines before I realized you can hit the ones in the ground that missed you for more...

The woooooorst (so far)

My grandmother used the failproof method of sticky notes on stuff you wanted. I did not sticky note the wooden smoking Santa toy and thus lost him to my cousin.

They're from the same document, the left starts the footnote explaining that the district courts have been reprimanded by Gorsuch for "defying" the SC's secret new rule to always let Trump win, but that this reprimand is bullshit and the SC is not giving the courts explicit rulings.

Remember that interview where the interviewer asked him what his favorite bible verse was (was it shortly after that dumb photo op with the upside down bible?) and he just absolutely whiffed it and mumbled something about 'all of it'.

Man's an antichrist and his supporters don't mind a bit.

Right? I'm not hardcore and barely practicing and even I'm clutching my pearls at the endless heresies these right wingers are coming up with.
