I see a lot of top ten board games and across all of them, I’ve seen only one party game.

It’s your favorites! That’s fine. Count them however you like.

But I contend that Say Anything brought me at least as much joy as Battlestar Galactica, that Anomia is right up there with Twilight Struggle.

I like the trolley problem but not as a thought experiment. I see it as a critique of us. No-one is questioning who is tying people to the tracks, forcing us to make the choice? Surely, that is the actual problem?! We are content to contend with the fiction, accepting tangible elements as fantasy

Thing is, a lot of communities do have systems to address these things and what that looks like is “The pastor or the church elders tell the wife she needs to be more obedient and pray harder.” I have yet to see a hardcore abolitionist contend with the fact that some communities are pro-abuse.
Look, if your community justice and reconciliation system doesn't have a way to address someone like Ted Bundy and domestic abuse, I'm sorry, but it's not a serious system.
I‘m tired of being nice about this; “abolitionism” has had years to develop a non-idiot policy program and the best they’ve come up with is ”murder without even the pretense of juridical process.” And I am not nut-picking; this is all over abolitionist writing.

In a way? But you seem to be implying that the solution is that we shouldn’t judge misbehavior any differently. I would contend that is a naive and childish way to look at the human condition. Exploiting a consenting adult is scummy. Exploiting a child is FAR WORSE

Republicans are starting to contend with the fact that the president will soon be gone, and they'll be fending for themselves and with no immunity from prosecution.

Just my 2 cents as the fan running this account, but yes & no. Bears don’t have a ton of cap space. Adding that big of a contract would require some restructuring, which hurts the cap down the road. Only makes sense if a team thinks it can contend in near future. Poles must be of that opinion.

There is a fix for inflation and it isn't quick, and it requires cooperation. Biden knew this, but he had Corps that were inflating inflation with price-gouging to contend with as well as the inflation itself, Trump caused because he didn't care. However, Biden was getting it under ... 1

I got cornered recently for saying that I have a mild Zemeckis curiosity just not the BACK TO THE FUTURE shlock. The defenders go very far (Kehr did claim FORREST GUMP was an American Candide), sure. I'll contend he has displayed directing chops on a variety of projects, but i don't see an auteur.

Seems like so many pundit types were excited for the anti-woke grift to continue that they had no idea how to contend with the actual moment and their brains melted (there is no universe in which this novel’s first draft is finished after January 2025)

Have you looked at our current administration lately, because I contend that we ARE SURROUNDED BY CRETINOUS, VICIOUS IMBECILES.

I can't with these two, this is too much cute to contend with. Not sure how comfy this is for Scrimm, but I'm happy to see they both seem to like the wee blanket I made them.

Now after continuing to experince heavy blow after blow, the luxury of "top dog" may not last. Nintendo, for example, has to contend with it's own demons, especially going after fangames and competition.

They can't do anything about the Sega and Steam partnership as their icons turn into jokes.

“Crip time is time travel. Disability and illness have the power to extract us from linear, progressive time…Some of us contend with the impairments of old age while still young; some of us are treated like children no matter how old we get.” Alice Wong RIP disabilityvisibilityproject.com/about/?amp

I contend the mainstream media’s coverage of *potential* Clinton Foundation corruption played a bigger role in the 2016 campaign than is thought — took a great accomplishment of Hillary and Bill — providing low cost HIV-AIDS medications to millions — and turned it into a negative.
I remember when Republicans were beside themselves that the Clinton Foundation took donations for non-profit purposes from the Saudis and other countries AFTER he left office, noting it posed a conflict of interest because Hillary could still run for office in the future.
Emolumental: The Trump Organization is in talks that could bring a Trump-branded property to one of Saudi Arabia’s largest government-owned real estate developments.
Trump is set to host Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, next week.

"Disgraced financier" you say? So, along with being a pedophile and rapist he was up to some shenanigans with finance?

I’m absolutely devastated by this news. Alice’s passing is a huge loss to the international disabled community. Being disabled means you have to watch your community members leave the earth, as you contend with your own limited lifespan.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

@justinwolfers.bsky.social NAILS the felons grifting and profiteering in a quick synopsis.

I contend the ONLY reason he ever ran is he saw the massive potential in scamming us. For him, his family, and his buddies.

And Epstein was still alive so he had his hobbies.
The scale at which the President is profiting from his post is staggering. Perhaps past presidents and their self-dealing snuck out with a million or so — a briefcase full of cash. This time, it's billions, which you should visualize as a fleet of school buses filled with Benjamin Franklins.

To contend this only could have been done by an LLM is, to me, to engage in exactly the hype that you decried a few posts back.

So they renamed Mr. Pibb as "Pibb Xtra" and now they've reformulated it and are calling it Mr. Pibb again. I contend they should call it The Pibb.

I still contend putting $20 on an NFL game if you are at a casino seems fine. Betting on if a pitcher will throw a pitch above 98 miles per hour on your phone as part of a 7 leg parlay is wild. Limit and regulate this stuff (and tax the hell out of it).
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

To be fair, Mulroney had interest rates in double digits to contend with, and Wilson (the finance minister) did an admirable job.
