Hell, universal basic income is a goal that could be achieved if you just said “trump could offset the tariffs with stimulus checks. They worked last time, right?” People keep trying to do the thinking for conservatives and it doesnt work. Just start with a good prompt and watch them do all the work

Literally the easiest way to do it: talk like a calm leftist Fox News anchor. “I pay my taxes, I got no other choice. I just want to see the benefit of that. Schools, trains, and hospitals. Hell, fix the pot holes & sidewalks. Just don’t give my money to elon”

Now obviously, I think people are dumb for ignoring the fact that he’s a proven racist, rapist, racketeering Russian. But I work in a very people facing job in a pretty conservative area. A lot of people just don’t understand our terminology and it’s actually really fucking easy to convince them

Guys I know I’ve been sitting on my ass and playing Balatro while you need me to do life saving open heart surgery, but can I borrow $20?

All Dems need to coordinate on this. Republicans who lose their farms & unions who can’t organize due to trump’s erasure of grants & rights can be disillusioned from the republicans. Don’t try to get their vote, just make them not want to vote R.

Maybe don’t add reflections to the pupils of character’s eyes? Idk it feels like that kinda effort is uh unnecessary to get the game out? Care less about useless graphics???

You don’t use wrenches on tires.

Holy shit the Ventriloquist would be fantastic

My family always joked that he wasn’t real cuz nobody else ever saw him. Until one night my dog looked into the alley and started shrieking. Not barking - new noise. He was so scary my dog shrieked. My sibling and my dad ran to check on the dog and finally saw Big Larry, doing exactly the same thing

We get to the end of the alley and my mom’s white knuckling the steering wheel. I cut the tension by saying “that was fucking terrifying.” we get home and tell my family about it - they run outside to look into the alley and… he’s gone. We nicknamed him “Big Larry The Alley Ghost”

The whole alley is tense. It felt like a David Lynch nightmare except I’m living it. We go through another patch of dark and now we’re sharing his spotlight. His back is to the garage door, he’s facing us, and I swear to god he looked EXACTLY like the guy from The Hills Have Eyes. Only 7 feet tall.

Under his spotlight in this alley we start to see… This dude is *fucking gigantic*. His head is touching the top of his garage door. He’s in a baggy baby blue t-shirt and matching shorts. He isn’t checking his bins- he never was. He’s just looming there and swaying with the breeze.

…and start to see that the dude hasn’t moved. He’s also really tall and just standing by the bins. Oh well, we’re halfway down the alley and no room in the garage, so gotta keep going. We’ve had the windows down this whole time and don’t want to roll them up at this point cuz it would be rude.

They had changed the bulbs in our alley’s street lights, so each lamp was like a spotlight and then a stretch of darkness. We get a quarter into the alley and start to see someone in the distance. Probably just a neighbor checking their bins, no problem. Get another quarter down, check our bins…

Easily the most terrifying moment of my entire life. Midnight. Just got off of a deep clean night at work, mom’s driving me home, and we’re going through the alley to check on the bins. It was winter, but like 38°. Warmer than it should’ve been, still cold, but the defrost caused a weird haze

I’m just now putting together that it’s her making the kind of gross food Dennis Quaid’s character eats… damn.
