Biden obeys law and honored his oath so it’s apples to oranges.

In my experience therapy is something my therapist and I do together. My therapist isn’t giving me water. The two of us together are finding water that was always there.

It pretty valuable even if you don’t change it. He can see what his competitors are being paid. He can correlate it with Twitter’s user data to tie political enemies to physical addresses and more.

Not that they won’t corrupt it. They will almost certainly alter it to their own ends as well.

100% agreement here. Well written.

Denying reality doesn’t work very well here.

If the nation crumbles what do they have control over? If all the systems fail even the resources they hoard within a few miles of themselves and their guards are at risk.

I’ve never played Slugblaster but all the rest were great fun. However, I have had the very best sessions with Apocalypse World 2 and Monsterhearts 2. If you are into either of those genres and have the group for it you’re in luck. A good session feels better than literally taking happy drugs.

My needs changed. When I was a child I had an intense need to master new skills and show them off. Video games could meet that need in a way school never could. As an adult I can completely fill those needs with work so I have no interest in those sorts of games. Now I play games to be entertained and delighted. If I want challenge I’ll put that energy towards earning a bigger bonus for Q4.

I’m in the USA and it’s totally easy not to use Amazon. The first step is buying less shit though and people are pretty addicted to buying crap they don’t need.
