Dunno about TN, but in NC, a Weapon of Mass Destruction is a legal term referring to anything designed to harm more than one person simultaneously.

This led, for example, to a local headline about a man holding up a bank with a WMD because he used a sawn-off shotgun.

What, are they running down the same presidential campaign checklist as 2016 and just forgot to remove the “hush money to pornstars” line-item for this go-round? Someone call Karen MacDougal and find out if she got the same offer.

Or… mountain folk who live up in the…mountains?

The PS3 also had damn few games to play at launch. If it wasn’t for Sony’s decision to ship it with a BD-ROM drive it probably would have been a total flop. Home theater nerds saved the PS3.

On a walk through the woods, would you rather encounter a strange man, a bear, or twice-impeached former president Donald J. Trump?

Yeah, I’m sad Jackson got redistricted out of his seat, but hopefully he will win his State Attorney General race and be well positioned to take a US senate position or maybe even run for governor down the line.

I’m almost tempted to turn off 2fa on my account and give it a weak password just to see what its next life becomes.

Not to mention the Republican candidate called trans people filth, demonized abortion after his wife had one, and was known to spend multiple nights per week at the local adult arcade

That’s one you can choose. I’ve always stuck with the classic First in Flight. Way too many In God We Trust driving around though

Dominated.

A/S/L???

Outer Worlds is way closer to a Fallout spiritual sequel (or beat Starfield to the punch) than an Elder Scrolls game.

Did they ever fix the reputation system? I managed to instantly piss off an entire city while I was in the middle of it because I accumulated one too many “We don’t like you” points in the middle of a quest. Completely ruined my immersion and was a hard stop for me.

I also don’t buy his take that the game started development in 2016, this is what was big culturally in 2016, and the team just retreated into a bunker until launch and didn’t have any way to course correct.

That’s not how game development works. I guarantee the headcount for this project didn’t peak in 2016 and stay steady. This was a low-priority item on a few people’s kanban boards for a couple years, probably had multiple starts, dead-ends, and reinventions.

I have to think Sony saw the writing on the wall, pushed the project out the door because they didn’t think it would get any better barring significant reinvestment, and braced for the impact. I credit them just a tiny bit for not writing it off on their taxes and canning the project like Hollywood has been doing lately.

Yeah, it sucks. I still think we have a better shot at pressuring her to take a harder stance on Israel while in office than Trump, so I’m still gonna vote for her.

I don’t have downvote arrows in either my browser or Jerboa on Android.

I disagree. There is no ignoring Trump between now and the election. If the Dems stop now, then the only messaging out there will be GOP messaging which can put a spin on his hissy fits and work to salve his ego.

He’s a weirdo and we shouldn’t let anyone forget it (until it’s time to forget him).

Fair points, but I can’t participate in this thread because I’m on an instance that doesn’t allow down votes. The up vote solution is at least a bit more inclusive

Harris Teeter where I live. We do have Publix locations around now though. I still need to check them out and see if they live up to the hype.

The best sandwich shop in my town is the deli at the grocery store. They are less concerned about skimping on ingredients because it’s more important to entice you in and get you spending money in the aisles.

For $8 or $9 they will stuff a footlong sub so full they can barely fold it over. And it’s generally fresher ingredients than you’d find in a Subway
