Tabletop rpg design uses the term “fail gracefully” to describe being able to still function when you forget the rules.

Older games used to regularly stop amd collapse into boring chart-reading and index-looking-up. A lot of modern games are entirely playable if you forget everything except the core mechanic.

Agreed!

Yeah i can understand that others enjoy it, but even a poker night with friends sounds unpleasant to me - like a game night ruined.

I always describe gambling as non-alcoholic vodka.

It just does nothing for me and leaves an awful taste in my mouth.

once saw her as Bernie Sanders 2.0 but now think she’s more pragmatist than revolutionary

What hot fucking nonsense is this? No shade on bernie but no one left of john mccane thinks sanders is a revolutionary. He’s a pragmatic leftist who joined the dems for pragmatic reasons.

You are 100% correct and it’s shocking that even this current headline is a massive improvement. It admits that it was israel and says what happened and who died: “Lebanese officials claim 3 dead in strike” is the kind of BS i’m used to seeing.

It’s not real. A delivery person wouldn’t get to the door of the oval office. And almost certainly an aide grabs the bag, though the fast food delivery obsessions is partly about security paranoia, so maybe he is paranoid enough to grab the bag.

Slightly but significantly less bad. For now.

Ah yes, legislative reform that emerges from nothing but the powerful suddenly deciding to be nicer.

The rich won’t stop killing us if we ask them nicely. All progress has involved threatening the lives or property of the powerful.

Hate the game, not the players.

“The game” is rich people brutalizing humanity to squeeze an extra dollar. The game wouldn’t exist without the players.

“Are you already aware of the situation?” [Ungaro tweeted @ pam bondi]. “Do you fully understand the extent of the information I possess regarding you and the individuals associated with you? I strongly advise you to consider the seriousness of these matters. Any actions taken against me or attempts to escalate this situation could have significant legal consequences,”

This is the brazillian “model” who was deported at the personal request of her ex husband and father of her child, Paolo Zampolli.

He is one of trump’s closest friends, was close with diddy, worked with epstein, was a “modelling” agency director and obvious sex trafficker. He was the one who procured melania and trafficked her to trump.

Ungaro is obviously referring to her knowledge of her husband’s role in the wider trump-epstein trafficking ring. Her perspective probably sheds a lot of light on melania’s role.

He is not a republican asset, he’s just a member of the ruling class. He’s representing his class interest, not ours.

Even sad af persian cuisine is gonna be pretty amazing.

You’re talking aout the ruling class, basically. Around their world their class interests generally align, so they act as one.

Sometimes the ruling class get into intra-class conflict - factions form or some members try to steal each other’s stolen wealth, but they’ll usually stop when it begins to threaten the interests of their class as a whole. See: every single war. Maybe WW1 they didn’t stop in time.

But then we’d still be talking about the fact that he rapes children and none of his cabal of fellow rapists have seen justice.

I think there’s a chance this was the plan all along and the ‘ceasefire’ was just a PR ploy to avoid having to admit the tuesday 8pm deadline was just a bad bluff that everyone saw through.

Of course it’s entirely possible that the us regime did desperately want the ceasefire to work and was just too stupid to realize that israel won’t stop until they’ve created a crippling humanitarian crisis in iran.

This is for shitposting, not whingeposting.

Any such article is a lie, those assholes knew exactly what they were doing. Most of the fascist majority on the court are active participants in the coup that brought this regime to power, the rest are sympathizers.
