So the options are Collins, who has a known track record of voting with MAGA, or Platner who has no record of voting with MAGA and has run a campaign that looks nothing like the policy of a MAGA candidate.

Could he completely turn around and vote MAGA? Sure. As could his primary opponent Janet Mills. Or any of the other tiny percentage of Democratic primary opponents.

But you know who will vote with MAGA 94.6% of the time? Susan Collins.

It's because people are showing up and voting FOR Platner.

Looking at previous Maine Democratic Primary for Senate. Six years ago Sarah Gideon got 116,264 votes out of 162,681. This time around Graham Platner got 149,206 votes out of 207,068.

Platner is getting people to show up. This is a good sign going into the general.

5E has "Delayed Blast Fireball" which has higher base damage compared to the standard "Fireball". It's higher level, and it also charges up to do more damage. It can also be upcast, so that.

Upcast Fireball.

I suggest watching the video, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QkC1aK7jfLo but the article has an OK summary.

Also a Mastodon shout-out in the video.

Just like last time I know it all finished airing over Christmas and New Years, but since those are inconvenient times for some, let's discuss the series finale of Stranger Things.

A video produced using artificial intelligence (AI) showing President Trump rubbing and kissing Elon Musk’s feet

That's some poor reporting. How do we know it was AI generated? The footage looks authentic to me.

Bob Uecker brought the Brewers to life for generations of fans. And that was just the start of a second career in entertainment that reached far beyond the ballpark.

Uecker, the backup catcher turned Hollywood star, and the legendary radio voice of his hometown team for more than five decades, has died. He was 90.

Unless I'm mistaken, none of those will block server-side ads.

So the 2024 Players Handbook (PHB) is set to release in September. I've already bought and paid for the book. In fact I get early access in early September.

However a bunch of YouTube and other folks got the books much earlier and the embargo for them to talk about it lifted in early August.

So now I have to learn piecemeal how the new rules work. I have to hope whatever YouTube video I watch got the rules right. My only reference is random videos.

Luckily someone did write down a rough outline at https://rpgbot.net/2024-dnd-5e-transition-guide-and-change-log-everything-thats-different-in-the-new-players-handbook/

Anyone else find this to be bullshit? It's like Christmas morning for "influencers" but my gifts arrive in a month.

In short if folks know of a good copy of the 2024 PHB I'd love to read it.

Not that I disagree but Kamala married Doug in 2014 and has two step children, aged 29 and 25. Or 19 and 15 at the time of marriage.

She is certainly a mother if she wants that title.

acting as a strong comeback for Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.

No thank you.

I've heard great things about this story, but I'm not watching something run by these loons.

If it's a one and done season, I'll watch it once it's done. If it's going to take multiple seasons, I'll watch it when it's done. It's Netflix, so they won't finish it.

AMC Theaters suck (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago by MimicJar@lemmy.world to c/movies@lemmy.world

20 minutes of trailers and 10 minutes of AMC puff pieces including the Nicole Kidman OMG Cinema commercials.

Earlier today I went to an AMC IMAX theater to watch Dune Part 2 (spoiler free review, a great film), and instead of the film starting at the scheduled time we have to duck around for 30 min before the film starts (which even then isn't true since we get two 30 second studio logos).

I'm so happy that most theaters I go to are smaller with usually only a preview or two.

But for AMC, fuck you.

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 96 points 2 years ago

They're the same people. If someone is on a power trip, it suck regardless.

I always assume people doing this are unhinged/crazy and I definitely don't want to deal with that.

Sometimes they look nice enough.

Usually what happens is myself and everyone else on the train look at each other, have a shared look of "Morons? Am I right?" and then when that person leaves, we all share a group laugh.

So I guess what I'd say is, if you do this, know that everyone is laughing at you. If you say you don't care, that's a lie, you do care, that's why you're doing what you're doing. This is not positive attention, this is negative attention. Please take a moment and reflect to be a force for positivity and not negativity.

Babies are too loud (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by MimicJar@lemmy.world to c/voyagerapp@lemmy.world

Setting > General > Highlightenator

(Great name BTW.)

I'm not quite sure the solution but I found the babies to be too loud and distracting. I think if every account had a color and emoji it wouldn't be as distracting, but I also might hate that more.

It might just be the yellow of it all, if it were black and white that might make it better, but that's not how emoji works so I'm out of ideas.

I do think it's a neat feature, but I had to turn it off. Figured by posting here other folks might have ideas.
