Among other reasons........I'm gay.

Right wing SCOTUS judges, including the one that the GOP is about to confirm, have voiced interest in overturning gay marriage.

That alone is reason enough to never give the GOP the time of day again. They've proven time and time again that they want to take rights away from me, so fuck them.

It's probably the most average anime I've ever seen. Not bad, not great, just a pretty okay ride, at least as of season 1, haven't gotten to 2 yet.

The fanservice character does suck. Her gimmick is ridiculously overused and quickly becomes more annoying than anything.

But yeah, watch it if you want. It's decent, but I've seen way better animes.

Supposedly Walmart isn't doing it at least.

I'd imagine it'll be on a store by store basis, but a lot of it will likely be online.

From what I hear, it's pretty fun with some major issues.

-Lots of downtime between content updates.
-Grindy as hell at higher levels.
-Low, low gacha rates, including a story of someone supposedly dropping thousands of dollars for one character.
-Supposedly they're actually planning to nerf characters, so that shiny new character you dropped thousands for may get nerfed later anyway.

Take those with a grain of salt, though. This is all just what I've gathered from my friends who are playing it.

they haven't revealed the entire roster yet, and they are already talking about DLC

this is literally worse than SFV's launch

It's just how FGs are nowadays, for better or worse. They used to have numerous rereleases, but now they go with seasons of DLC instead.

I'm kind of mixed on it, but overall it's a better practice than needing to buy several new versions of a game to keep up, and it lets them keep adding new characters over time.

But yeah, announcing tons of DLC months before release isn't great.

The game is effectively over if it's 2 imposters vs 4 crew or 1 imposter vs 2 crew.

Ehh, you can win at 6, but you have to group and be quick on reports before they can double, or hit the button before they can double. I've definitely won some 4v2s before.

1v2 is pretty over, though, unless the settings suck and have a really high kill cooldown.

https://www.eatthis.com/usda-allows-chicken-produced-from-diseased-birds/

When the president invoked the Defense Production Act in April, to keep essential goods in production through the pandemic, it had some unexpected consequences on the food supply chain.

The meat industry, in particular, has seen a significant deregulation. Rollbacks of safety measures such as plant inspection standards, meat labeling regulations, and farm pollution restrictions have taken place in service of preventing meat shortages and keeping the industry operational with fewer bureaucratic hoops to jump through.

Now, as a direct result, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said it will allow the sales of chicken meat made from birds that have had diseases. And yes, that's for human consumption.

Bloomberg reports that in July, the agency accepted a petition from the National Chicken Council to allow slaughterhouses to process birds infected with Avian Leukosis. The infection causes a condition akin to cancer in chickens, where malignant tumors and lesions can develop.

Not only will inspectors not be required to examine the first 300 birds of each flock for signs of the disease, but processors will also be allowed to simply cut the tumors off and process the rest of the bird.

And eating meat of sub-par quality isn't the only negative outcome. Avian Leukosis is a rare but highly contagious disease that affects birds and poultry, and while it's unlikely to be transmitted from birds to humans, it isn't entirely impossible. According to Bloomberg, the indication of cross-species transmission comes from U.K. workers who were exposed to birds infected with the disease and have developed antibodies.

Parthapratim Basu, previous Chief Public Health Veterinarian for the FSIS, told Bloomberg the deregulation may be another major public health crisis waiting to happen. "A poorly regulated meat industry could very well become the source of a new epidemic," he was quoted saying.

Saw it and reposted from the politics board since it seems like something worth discussing.

Pretty bad.

I wonder what the "Corona is fake" and "It's only the flu" people have to say about this?

If he doesn't have it, nothing changes.

If he has it and recovers, "See? It's not that bad! We don't need masks!"

If he has it and dies from it, "The deep state assassinated him."

There's not really an outcome where their minds would be changed.

Amid how awful it is, there's something almost impressive about how Trump is openly doing anything he can to rig the election with nothing we can do about it. Like, you wouldn't think the entire US government could be broken so transparently and easily, but ehh, here we are I guess.

But yeah, we're pretty fucked.

If you wanted to take it seriously, there are probably multiple timelines. The main characters have died numerous times, and I think the world has ended at least a few times too.

People who are on a team together with random, for sure. I don't have nearly enough friends playing for a full group, so I've been going with randoms.

Earlier, I got a totally clean kill on someone, and got away with no witnesses. A few minutes later, the body was reported, and someone with a matching name with the victim immediately accused me/voted for me and got everyone else to as well. It was very clear that his friend told him who did it. Super unfun way to play.

I live in MO, and you could do way worse than Branson. It has some lame stuff (the Simpsons jokes about it are pretty accurate for the main strip), but there's a rad amusement park there, a water park, solid shopping, good food, and a lot of scattered stuff to do.

It's probably the best tourist attraction in the state as long as you know where to look in it.

My cats follow me around my house, nuzzle me and purr, sleep on me as much as possible, hang out with me for as long as I'm around, knead me, and meow at me if I'm asleep with the door closed.

If that isn't love, I dunno what is. Both of them are some of the most loving animals that I've ever seen.

It's on DS, iOS, and Android. I'm not sure if the translation is up for iOS/Android, as I've only seen it for DS and I'm not sure if it's formatted for the others, but I'd imagine you could apply it to those versions in some form.

I strongly feel that AAI2 is the best-written game in the series. I have it tied with AA3 at the top of my list. I feel like AA3 is a better emotional finisher to the original trilogy, but AAI2 is just genius.

I still remember the moment that I solved everything during Sirhan's testimony a bit before the formal reveal and it suddenly made so much sense how the game had been weaving every single case together without them initially seeming to be connected. I literally dropped my DS (was playing on a R4) and ran to my computer to tell my friend who loves the series but hadn't play I2 yet that he needed to play it now.

Goddamn, though. The game is just brilliant. Simon is such a top tier villain and was such a great shock to find out about. Sebastian is also in my top tier for the series due to his development, for what it's worth.

But yeah, I always love seeing more AAI2 appreciation. It's a damn shame it was never officially localized, because it's downright incredible.

Uhh Awakening is definitely better than Shadow Dragon and Birthright.

Agreed with the top tier ones, though.

My big thing with Awakening is that it's way too busted to a degree that optimal play is really bland. Robin and pair up are both completely busted, to the point where doing anything else is almost pointless. Doing a serious Awakening run is like...pick Fem Robin, marry her to Chrom, pair them up, and Nosferatu tank while taking as many busted skills as you can get. Other flaws aside, that part really kills it for me.

Birthright is basically Awakening but less busted (it shares some of its flaws with story, characters, and maps, though) and SD is bland but its gameplay is decent. If not for Awakening being really busted, it would rank where Birthright is/slightly above it for having a more interesting story.

On the subject of how much we like the games, I made that somewhat recently when discussing opinions of the series with a friend.

Not super super serious, but roughly how much I like each game in the series.

All.

I've played a very small amount of the original trilogy. Nothing substantial, but I've played them.

Beat Genealogy a while back.

Finally beat Thracia a few months ago.

Beat Binding Blade ages ago and am rebeating it now.

Have beaten FE7 several times.

Same with Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance, and Radiant Dawn.

Beat Shadow Dragon once and probably won't touch it again, it's pretty bland.

FE12, I missed a Starsphere on and thus missed the good ending on. I plan to beat it all the way once I get a non-shitty laptop that doesn't drop frames.

Awakening I beat once and may not touch again. The game is too strictly busted to be all that fun, and I don't really like its maps.

Beaten all three Fates routes. I may rebeat Conquest some time, but probably not the other routes.

Beat Echoes once shortly after its release, may do another run some time.

Beat GD and BL on TH, plan to do at least one more run.

I'm a huge fan of FE, it's one of my favorite series ever.

This is really tough. Miller, DeVos, Kushner, and Barr are all really solid options. Pence is also evil as fuck, he's just better at hiding it.

I ultimately voted Kushner solely for the recent report about him letting COVID run wild because he thought it would hit blue states harder. That may have been one of the most infuriating things that I've seen from this awful, awful administration.
