Do you like playing D&D but it sucks shit because you always miss the shitty fucking goblin? Here’s Nimble! You hit the goblin! Skip the attack roll, roll damage, and watch it fuckin’ die!
Too bad the Bugbear behind him skips the attack roll too. Mweheheh.

Let's convert Skydawn's Phantasy Star TTRPG to Nimble and see how it goes. The default monsters are really boring and PCs are slippery little shitstains, so let's put the Igglanova's apparently cosmetic tentacles to use. THROW CHAZ AT HAHN.

Don’t know who needs to hear this, but — em dashes, like that one, are prescribed in technical writing style guides all over the industry. It is a very common standard to advise using those instead of semicolons or other ways to break up text.

Billionaires don't need more yachts, but an increase to the royalty rate on Steam would be life-changing for many small indie devs.
Starting to think billionaires were a mistake.
Gabe Newell caps off Steam Machine week by taking delivery of a new $500 million superyacht with a submarine garage, on-board hospital and 15 gaming PCs
"We knew we were asking for unusual things," says Newell, "and Oceanco embraced it with open arms."

Remember how Trump said ICE targets “violent criminals?”
Trump’s own DOJ now reports that ONLY 2.5% of the people ICE arrested in Chicago have any criminal history.
That means 97.5% have ZERO criminal record. They were targeted because they were of Latino ethnicity. This is what fascism looks like

I am still amazed at how thick Republicans are that Democratic voters really, *really* do not like the Clintons.
They're establishment-popular, not actually popular.

I’m currently in a perpetual stalemate. With my current regimen, the cancer isn’t advancing or retreating. But that can change with any given scan.
Spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to convey my one story I want to write so that if I die, there’s a small chance it can continue.

welp. being billed for an at-home sleep test I took a while back. new doc randomly prescribed it, assuring me it was covered. foolishly said fuck it and took the test because I wanted to know if I have sleep apnea. at no point was I informed that insurance would only cover LESS THAN HALF of the cost

Going to repeat this every time I see the GOP "plan":
I have kidney failure. I require dialysis to live. Three times a week every single week. It costs $1000 per treatment.
So either they need to give me a MINIMUM of $156,000 a year...or I'm going to die.

I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

The reason why flight disruptions were the breaking point for Democrats is that they need to not be in DC as much as possible.
They need to go home. They need to fundraise. They need to not do their job.
Trump and the GOP have now learned that next time, they should start with flight disruptions.
