…yeah I’m trying to imagine a scenario when this would ever happen. I’ve never seen someone try to upsell someone else on coffee before.

I’ll bite. What?

When the internet was better, sometimes people just made entertaining things for no particular reason.

I keep waiting for the headline to be something like “Vance slammed face-first into the sidewalk by passersby until he stopped twitching,” but I’m always disappointed.

This may be the first time I haven’t fallen into the subset of “everybody.”

Everything I want to play runs using Linux/proton. It seems like the only things that have trouble are things I’d never consider even installing, let alone running.

I liked that one; there were some really funny memes.

Feels weird that the thing I’m looking forward to most is left alignment for a bunch of currently center-aligned text. I’m not sure when I started to hate center alignment, but I’m always happy to watch it die.

Great summary work — this part makes me a little crazy:

The Agriculture Department could also turn to a specific interpretation of existing law to justify continuing to fund food stamps, said David A. Super, a law professor at Georgetown University. Under that theory, food stamps are an entitlement program, like Medicare, that is not subject to the annual appropriations process.

“The simplest approach for the U.S.D.A. would be to recognize that language in the Food and Nutrition Act makes SNAP an entitlement independent of appropriations, and continue paying benefits on the strength of that language,” Mr. Super said.

Because of course food isn’t already an entitlement program. Always money for weapons, never for starving people.

I believe they’re drawing a parallel between anti-war sentiment in WWII and current events in Ukraine. I’m not sure who the #1 enemy would be, though; maybe that’s subjective.

Haven’t played this, but I think Bastion is the first game I remember doing the grandad voice thing. I enjoyed it there, not sure about liking it elsewhere.
