You can look for sword art anywhere. I guarantee the library has some books.

Because last time his number one policy promise was to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it. And his number two promise was an alternative to Obamacare.

He's not so great at following through with his promises. That's the only thing non-MAGAs have going for them: he's pretty incompetent.

A buddy of mine got "OUCH" on the inside of his lip. Ironically, it hurt a lot less than the piece on his shin.

For real. Any gun I could obtain as a private citizen is not going to stand up to the weight of the police, let alone the US military if a true authoritarian regime took over. My right to a hunting rifle doesn't matter when they have tanks and drones.

The real problem is that the size of the House of Representatives has been frozen for 100 years. The number of electoral college votes a state has is equal to the number of reps and senators they have. Since the House hasn't grown alongside our population, the relative representation for rural areas has steadily grown more and more.

Ending the cap on the House would balance out the electoral college issues and help reduce the constant congressional deadlocks we're seeing.

The difference being the PS4 wasn't backwards compatible. The remaster was intended for people who hadn't and couldn't play the PS3 version.

PS5 is backwards compatible, making this a little more bullshit.

Whoopi Goldberg has that anecdote she loves to tell of being a little girl, seeing Nichelle Nichols on TV, and Whoopi starts running around the house, screaming, "Mommy! Mommy! There's a black lady on TV and she's not a maid!"

My fiancé was on the phone with her mother yesterday, explaining Project 2025 to her, and her mother literally said, "Oh, Trump wouldn't go along with all that. He used to be a Democrat, so he's petty liberal for a Republican."

"Not admissible because it was illegally captured" didn't give me the warm-and-fuzzies this comment sounds like it should've.

When I was in high school, the girls' running team made shirts that said, "Fast girls have good times." It's been more than twenty years, and I still think about how funny that double-entendre is.

So, yeah, you would've sold a lot more weiners.

You're close to the truth at the end there. They spent $90 million on it, found out it was an absolute dog when they started test evenings, and decided to scrap it rather than pay another $50 million+ on promotion and other post-production expenses.

With a $20 million write-off on a $90 million movie, they still lost $70 million. They just didn't want to lose more.

It still sucks for the actual creators and the fans, but it's not like doing this actually makes the studios richer. It's just about not falling into the sunk-cost fallacy.

According to Spotify, Midnights has made me a Swiftie. I've listened to that record ...too much.
