Coffee would have made me an apostate too. Damn, I love coffee. Live and drink, friend.

Hey, that guy is hogging all the happiness! Get him!

that phone bigger then he goddam he

It makes grim sense from a business perspective. All coffee has a unique flavor, but all burned coffee tastes the same. Burning all the coffee ensures a similar flavor profile at any Starbucks in the US. The fact that the flavor is bad is entirely beside the point.

I’m lucky enough to be in an area with a ton of local coffee roasters, so I’m never that far from a good cup. But even before coffee became an addiction for me, I didn’t like Starbucks coffee. The plain coffee is too burned and doesn’t taste good, and the mixed coffee drinks are too sweetened to cover up the burned flavor of the coffee. These days if I can’t get to a local coffee place, I’ll just go to an AM/PM or 7-11 as they’ll have better coffee than Starbucks.

Highly recommend this game. It got better once they started allowing you to quicksave and checkpoint your progress at towns/outposts. Prepare to die. A lot. Live and drink, friend.

Out of all the BS about this orange baby flooding our collective intakes every single second of every single day, this bit of “light treason” coming to light earlier might not have been as impactful as it could be when the election draws nigh.

Hopefully the Harris campaign seizes on this and beats him like a pinata with it for the next month. American Presidents should not provide aid and succor to their geopolitical enemies.

Whenever anyone asks me what fictional universe I want to live in, I say the Culture universe. Hands down the best sci-fi universe to live in as a regular humanoid. It’s a post-scarcity galactic paradise where if I ever get bored, I can plug into a Matrix-style simulation of any other fictional universe that’s 100% real to my senses. Or I’ll take any of a number of drugs that a gland in my brain can generate at will for shiggles. The possibilities are limitless.

I’ll take a shot at this if you first explain what commonalities you see between this guy and Harris. I’m interested to see why you think they’re at all similar.

Oh dip, they’re demanding an answer this time. He’s gonna have to respond or else they’ll… checks papers oh, they’ll just demand it again. Must be nice to avoid any and all repercussions from breaking the law over and over and over again.

Well boo-friggin-hoo! Nobody’s holding a gun to his head and forcing him to run. His legal problems are 100% his own damn fault, and he’s putting the whole country up for sale to the highest bidder in order to evade restitution. I eagerly await the day when I never have to hear about this blowhard moron ever again.

That wasn’t witchcraft! What she did was Headology, plain and simple. Far more efficient. All you have to do is make the recipient understand that the lies they tell themselves in the dark corners of their mind are flimsy untruths that everyone can see through.

She played his ass like neon orange ten cent kazoo. With a giant button on top labeled “Insecurity Complex”. Little wonder that he’s chickening out of further debates now. Though, I expect he’ll make a lot of noise about doing a debate on Fox. Or Newsmax. Or maybe on RT, live from Moscow.

Sucks to suck Donnie.

THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS

The first time the moderators countered his obvious dog-whistle lies I was absolutely blown away. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Then I started laughing and didn’t stop.

The correction was really well done and completely natural by both moderators, I almost didn’t register what happened. Love to see it.

That’s a cool illustration of a great scene from The Dark Tower series! It’s a good read if you’re down for reading a finished series.

This just in: Worst Vice Presidential pick in human history continues to back Russian-owned Holocaust-denying millionaire lackey. More at eleven.

I’m amazed. Basic IT training should be enough to know that Starlink systems at the very least would be advertising their location to a third party non-US megacorp.

Easy solution: nationalize Starlink. That keeps it out of the hands of a lunatic man-child, and sailors can get their sports scores! Talk about a win win situation.

Dunno about bike infrastructure in San Francisco as I’ve only been there a few times, but one variable you should mind is that South Lake Tahoe is snowy during a good chunk of the winter. Don’t plan to move there and bike around unless you’re comfortable biking in the snow.

It can be warm in Tahoe in the summer, but the snow is a certainty and cannot be avoided if you’re living there. Tahoe is usually fairly mild, or it has been while I’ve been there. It’s also way high up in elevation, which can cause respiratory problems for some until they acclimate.

Why’s he got bulletproof glass around him? Did one of those crazy cat ladies that I keep hearing about throw their cats at him or something? /s obviously but that’d be funny as hell
