Why do people keep dunking specifically on Obama for this? Isn't this the same as every US president ever?

It's weird that I know about Johnson's Johnson long before I became aware of all the legislation that passed while he was in office:

• Civil Rights Act
• Voting Rights Act
• Medicare/Medicaid
• Food Stamps (and other social programs)
• Immigration & Nationality Act
• National Endowment for the Arts
• Public Broadcasting Act (PBS/NPR)
• various education & environmental bills

That dick got a lot done...

And also started the war in Vietnam...

Kind of a complex legacy, but holy shit that's a lot of good domestic work, ESPECIALLY for a single term president (plus the year following JFKs assassination).

Genuinely think this format is a great way to write character backstory. Not any of the content beneath the headers, that's for the DM and player to flesh out during sessions. The Nickelodeon Board of Directors are the big bad for one campaign, the guy who framed you for arson is just chillin in the pub you walked into, etc. Work out the details like it's an improv scene.

Cornell, who has led the Minneapolis-based retail chain since 2014, received $9.9 million in total compensation for 2024, an 87% drop from his 2020 peak of $77.5 million.

What the actual fuck? Why are humans being paid $10m A YEAR, let alone over $75m?!

The tax system is so complicated, most people can’t handle navigating it on their own. Most people have jobs where taxes are automatically removed from pay checks and sent to both state and federal tax agencies. However, that amount is just an estimate and once a year (or quarter) you need to file paperwork to confirm whether you over or underpaid and then you either get a rebate (without interest), or you’ll need to send in a payment to make up the difference. That paperwork has been lobbied to remain as complicated as possible so that companies like Intuit can provide services that tax payers find useful and continue to pay for. This is more complicated for business owners, both big and small.

I love Queen, but (with the exception of Somebody To Love) I feel like you’ve picked out the worst and most overplayed Queen songs. If you’re open to seeing why folks like them so much, I’d suggest the following (in my order of preference):

• Under Pressure
• I Want To Break Free
• Radio Gaga
• Stone Cold Crazy
• Killer Queen
• Crazy Little Thing Called Love
• You’re My Best Friend
• Don’t Stop Me Now
• Who Wants To Live Forever

There’s a pretty good mix in there. Some are more operatic than others. Some go pretty hard.

Sex scenes are common in modern games - and are often made by filming human actors who are then digitised into game characters.

Is “common” referring to cringey low budget Steam games? I don’t think I’ve seen any sort of on screen simulated sex in a game, ever. Granted I tend to only play well publicized indie games and larger releases. But how common is this? Am I out of the loop?

Having just turned 43, I can tell you that I don’t think I became an adult until my early/mid 30s.

That blunt hand is fake, but they look stoned in the original photo as well.

You can tell it’s shopped because of the pixels

Stupid people always say no. There are no rules given for what smart people say. One could answer no to the question and the stupid people rule may not be applicable.
