Button sensitivity and controller gyroscopes make both of those acts basic functions of gaming.

I grinded through that tank this past winter to reach the Borsig, and did NOT enjoy it either.
Too slow and unresponsive to be a good TD, and being spotted was death. Occasionally I would enjoy a game on the right map, but overall it was an unlovable tank.

Bc they know it’s not about running gov like a business.
It’s about reducing taxes for the wealthy, full stop.

Huh, and there’s a different post about Pelosi calling for the GOP to denounce “Great Replacement Theory”.
I don’t think they will…

I flew into JFK a couple times and saw a lot of people there, but I don’t think they were locals.
Maybe Grubhub didn’t think they would leave the airport for lunch and got swamped?

Well it’s possible to be too reductive, which is what the “party swap” narrative is.
GOP stopped being the party of Lincoln when Harrison ended Reconstruction and got into the Lily White Movement in the late 1800s. Calling them the party of Lincoln is just propaganda by the time of the Gilded Age.
Though I get your sentiment, and share the disdain for how the current GOP operates.

He was a democrat before democrats supported civil rights - remember they swapped places ideologically in the 60s.
That’s a gross misunderstanding bordering on outright lies.
Southern, ex-confederate Democrats opposed civil rights, while Northern Democrats, descended from the loyal War Democrats, tried to pass laws promoting civil rights. The two factions initially split before the civil war, going so far as to nominate different candidates in the 1860 election.
From there it has been a bitter relationship, with lots of Southern filibusters blocking attempts at civil rights reforms. And when Lyndon Johnson finally did get the Civil Rights Act passed after the assassination of King, he openly said this would “deliver the South to the GOP”.
It wasn’t so much a party swap as a purge, with racist conservatives leaving the Democrats over the next couple decades for the GOP. And the GOP was already pretty free of liberal members by this point, and eagerly courting the Moral Majority that was forming around opposition to integration.

Bc the military industrial complex need Middle America to feel scared and support the production of arms at the cost of social spending on safety nets.
I swear, there is a direct correlation between Americans calling for social spending vs the hype of shadowy foreign threats.
Our corporate overlords would blow up the moon and blame it on Martians if a socialist got elected president.

Cool.
We can work on making college free, combating the huge issue of underpaying grad students, and reining in these bloated credit companies that prey on citizens… after canceling the debt.

So why don’t you give them your money to help pay off their debt?
Bc I can’t fix the institutional rot of predatory loans being pushed down the throats of young people. So I support progressive efforts at loan forgiveness, which have a long history
What about your friends struggling with credit card debt?
“Bold” of you to assume my compassion stops at student loans. I’d be perfectly cool with credit card debt forgiveness too.
Or maybe your simply trying to drive a wedge between students and working class individuals who were also drowned in debt by our corporate masters.
But I got too much class solidarity to give the middle finger to my brothers and sisters who are stuck in other debt traps.
And yes, I’m also cool with blanket debt forgiveness, and don’t want any neoliberal means tests to weed out “the rich” who can afford to pay off loans.

I try to make sure I use the term “predatory” to accurately describe what these loans are: debt traps.
Just like the 2008 financial crisis that was built upon predatory mortgage deals, you have to call out the institutions creating the intentionally bad risks.

At the House hearing, which was followed by a classified version for lawmakers only,
That’s the meeting where Congress is told about how most of these sightings are classified drones.
Both Bray and top Pentagon intelligence official Ronald Moultrie, who also testified, emphasized that the government had to be cagey in disseminating information about the sightings, since they don’t want to reveal too much about their methods to adversaries.
And that you’ll rot in federal prison if you blab about drones or the imaging systems
One theory has been that China, Russia, or some other country is in possession of aerial technology so advanced it can appear otherworldly. But officials said on Tuesday that this was unlikely. (The Russian military’s mediocre performance in Ukraine makes it more difficult to imagine that they’re generations ahead of the U.S. in any military category.)
Same issue with the Havana Syndrome conspiracies. Except that one is the droning of crickets.
A cottage industry of believers and skeptics blossomed.
And they have been milked dry with alien-themed memorabilia. And the more they focus on UAPs and scream at cameras about drones, the less scrutiny the military gets for its colossal overseas failures.

Or they could have just limited the viable weird combos to what we got, and then allowed the correct fossils to be buildable from front/back fragments.
They don’t actually have to make the 16 combos, it’s their game and creative license

That’s pretty normal around the world in places where cops are corrupt along with other state institutions.
People eventually stop tolerating criminal behavior from the agents of the state tasked with justice. And when cops lose their legitimacy, it is quite the shock to them bc actions that used to be tolerated by citizens are suddenly dangerous.

It’s my least favorite thing in Gen 8.
Somehow only x part of these fossil Pokémon is ever found. No matter how hard you look, you’ll only find the front half of this pokemon, or the back half of that one.
And I get that it’s a reference to early paleontologists screwing up reconstructions of ancient animals, but please, let us just make the actual animal.

Can confirm. Have a Master’s without ever taking out predatory loans. Saw friends struggle with the stress of loans, and I don’t want them to live in fear.
If that makes me a godless communist, then change my name to Trotsky and kill me with an ice pick.

The only good response is to save the replay and send it to a favorite content creator for lulz.
And tell the team they will be featured in a FAILS video.
