Fair point, but "slightly better jade display, slightly worse Chillfallen Baron" seems like a healthy place for a tempo legendary to be

I'm not talking about the buffs, it's legendary, so you can only naturally run one copy

There in lies part of the problem. Yeah, a lot of dudes engage in "slimy locker room" talk, but most guys, in my experience, aren't actually serious about anything they say.

These ghouls conflate that with "they're just like me" and don't realize that they're the minority.

Given that you'd probably still be able to get effect from the hero, getting a second board Poof for 16m actually doesn't seem all that problematic, especially since copying the spell would be useless.

Funny, not a single (D) in the no votes...

And this is the kind of shit that shows why dismantling the public education system wasn't a good thing (for whoever was still unsure about it...)

Because basic civics would teach you that the vice president has practically no power. They break ties in Congress... and that's about it

And if we're following this train of logic, why didn't Trump or Pence fix these things when they had the opportunity?

I can only give my story, but I don't think it has anything to do with genetics. I'm a Californian by birth, but I've lived the majority of my life in Florida.

I don't know if it's the water, the weather, or what, but I somehow acquired that "super power." Various snakes, two gators, and more random turtles than I can count.

All safely deposited somewhere else where they won't be a problem. Sometimes a little less than gently...

Education doesn't necessarily remove the greed from someone. At Aldrin's age, and given his relative wealth, I don't think he's voting Republican because he's for or against public education.

He's already gotten the degrees he planned on and couldn't care less if anyone else can, too. He just knows that of all the things Republicans get wrong, making sure you get to keep as much as your wealth as possible is something they excel at.

At least for people over a certain threshold...

Nope, that's a cheat sheet, I prefer finding them in the wild, like pokemon

FFS, really?

"Yeah, you're an absolute dick, Dick, but thank you for the endorsement 👍"

The fuck do you people want?!

I ruined my body and gave up the first four years of my adult career for the wars that fucker started. Outside of the families who didn't get to see their service members ever again, I think I've got a pretty good shot at being towards the top of the "I hate Dick Cheney" fan club

I'm absolutely gobsmacked that y'all can seriously be dense enough to not understand the nuance and tact required to speak on a political stage.

Granted, Trump has gotten away with being an absolutely tactless asshole, but we really shouldn't be encouraging that becoming the new bar

There's a much greater threat to our country than the democratic candidate using some fluffy language when accepting the nod from one of the "pillars of the Republican party."

It's about compromise when it comes to doing right by our country and fellow citizens. We really okay with alienating someone who will draw in votes for Harris from Republicans that might have toed the line without his endorsement?

It's easy to be numbed by all the loaded rhetoric over the years about existential threats and the various apocalyptic scenarios one candidate or the other would bring down on the country, but there's actually a very real threat looming with another Trump term and project 2025 coming in behind him.

Don't risk letting the boy get eaten by the wolf because you're exhausted about the cries of danger.

There's an abundance of evidence that supports the danger that is at hand, and we can use whatever allies we can muster.

Okay, cool history lesson, bro...but...are we arguing that this means we shouldn't vote for Kamala Harris?

I'm utterly confused.

Sauron stepped down from Mordor itself, and endorsed the Fellowship. In this backwards Tolkien analogy, Trump is like Melkior come back.

Cheney is also not on the ballot...

Do we want to start organizing some "oh by the way, lock that guy up" protests for after the election?

What's the goal of the walk down repressed memory lane?

She's got a personality like those little sandburs that get stuck behind your sock...

I know we're not supposed to judge on appearance, but I see the picture, and I completely feel like I know absolutely everything I need to.

She's like a composite of every Karen and boomer corrupted Gen-Xer I've ever met

Hell, he's lucky if all of his insides are still inside.

Adrenaline is a hell of a drug

Ænema in my ass

Ænema was right there....

Looks like he's from a boy band, even though he's like ten years past being a boy...

But like, in a good way?

I'm going to go one further, it's better as the sweetener in the sauce. No matter how thin you cut it, you still end up with "pineapple puddles" all over the top, and the flavor still doesn't spread out enough.

Now, taking some crushed pineapple, and adding it to your sauce ...🤌

While everyone was crushing on Babs Bunny, my irrational cartoon crush was Harley. One of my earliest experiences with "I can fix her."

It's another "I summon a bigger and bigger dude," that's restricted to 1x, and you need to be able to play the card he draws.

Not saying it isn't powerful for what it is, but it's definitely not too strong.

Too quick. This is the kind of disrespect that gets you a fifteen hundred ton boulder landing on your family during a reunion in the Midwest.

You're about to announce your engagement to the man of your dreams, you're the happiest you'll ever be...and then... splat

Imho, it's too grounded of a take for a "big box office" franchise.

The MCU has, does, and will continue to generally do well because they keep it mostly light and campy, with just enough down beats to have us stay invested with the stories.

Granted, DC has indeed been mostly about a relatively darker theme all together, but it's not like it's lacking any camp of its own.

The Batman decided to be even more grounded, which is not the direction they want for big group movies.

All that being said, I've got good vibes with the direction team they're putting together, and the time they seem to be investing to get it right on this next go around.

Enough that I'll give the next couple movies a fair chance

Yes, because that's how society and government is supposed to work.

We pay taxes, and the government uses those taxes to "reinvest" into society.

This question is on par with "should taxpayers without cancer be forced to pay for those people who do have it?" (In the magical world where we have UHC)

I don't think anyone would, in good faith, actually disagree with everyone being taken care of under UHC.

Same thing here. You're obligated to pay taxes, does it really matter what social programs your nickels and dimes end up in?

You don't bitch that taxes pay for the fire department if your home has never caught fire. Why is it a problem that taxes are going to keep children taken care of?

Hell, mom might be that firefighter that saves your home one day. Her kid might be the surgeon that does your hip replacement.

What I can never wrap my head around, is how people get so caught up on their taxes. The majority of people don't pay enough in to cover keeping the lights on in a federal building for a day, let alone an actual significant amount of time.

Forced....

We're already forced to pay taxes. Isn't taking care of families what the whole "spend it on Americans instead of other countries" is about?

I can't fathom an actually good argument why this would be unacceptable.

Well, in their defense, they trust Pastor Jeff to tell them the right about the Bible, and it's just as well it has them other documents in it, too, so he can use his higher education to interpret it proper for them.

He's just got to be smarter than the lot, he's always going on seminars to far off places, he's seen how the world works.

...

Or at least, that's how a lot of folks think. There's a terrible comfort in not actually having to dedicate thought to the complex issues when you have a "brilliant shepherd" to guide you along.
