So Larian is calling attention to predatory employment practices, as they have done before, and this time they’re doing it by comparing the situation to predatory sales practices, and criticizing them in the comparison

Shut up, Wesley

The university I went to told us not to bother with unpaid internships, because it’s just a sign the company doesn’t care about you. Paid internships pretty much always still give college credit.

Netflix’s content has gotten so much worse too. I don’t think there are many people left that have a subscription for more than one or two shows. And this seems to be a trend across all the different apps. Makes me glad I set up automatic torrenting for everything I’m interested in, and all it costs me is $5/month for Proton VPN

If snakes are her hair, does that mean she essentially has Hobbit feet?

…by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

Classic fascist plays

I think Lindsey Graham said the same thing after the RNC back in 2016. It’s been going on forever, but that’s the first time I remember one of them saying it out loud. Paraphrasing, “I’m a politician. You can have your facts, I’ll take people’s feelings every time.”

In Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers, you can tweak cards like that. There’s even a 2 that can also be a 12

The first person NBC interviewed after their coverage of the VP debate said that Walz gave competent answers about policy, and clearly stood for average people, while Vance just deflected the whole time. And then he said he still didn’t know who he was going to vote for, and that the VP debate couldn’t sway him anyway.

Something usually only needs to be slightly better to scale well

I cannot wait for Walz vs. Vance. Vance seems like what these people are, distilled. It’ll be poetic to watch him get torn apart by a teacher

hunger is “fundamental to the working of the world’s economy”

I mean, he’s probably right, but that means we should work to change the system, not throw more orphans into the crushing machine

Plus, Bard can Cure Wounds themselves

He literally ran for president, and won. He’s not what the electorate wants moving forward, but that doesn’t make him incapable. He’s a career politician with decades of experience

This seems to debunk the claim that the US supports Israel so strongly because it’s strategically important. They’re actively dragging us into conflict

It was immediately followed by, “…but if you donate just $5 by our deadline today at 3pm, you’ll be added to our list of Premium Gold tier Platinum Donors, and Trump promises he’ll say thank you.”

Next, they say that all ballots that were already submitted have to be counted as-is. Then later, it’s revealed that there were Kamala Harris write-ins submitted during this time, but rather than being counted, they were discarded as invalid

His running mate also mentioned he doesn’t care if they’re legal or not
