His handlers are just using it as a distraction from the class war. Trump is too dumb and fried to think with that level of intention.

ISIS the American post-metal band, not ISIS “the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria”

Depends on how steep the hill is and how precise you need to be with your position. Parallel parking in San Francisco almost requires the handbrake.

I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and regularly drove my standard transmission in San Francisco (one of the hilliest cities in North America), and used my hand brake all the time to maintain my position while I engaged the transmission. I’m not really sure what you’re on about…

Like any decent Lovecraftian work, it looks like a big ol’ bag of NOPE.

It’s all just because Americans edit: the majority of Americans have a pathological aversion to metric prefixes

The burden of good taste is always knowing that nobody you met will ever know what the fuck you’re talking about when it comes to music.

No worries! I don’t think the chain needs to be stiff, just tight. From what I can tell, these are called a chain wrench, and I found a demo video.

Hope that helps!

I’m no mechanic either, but it looks like you can tighten the chain around a stuck cap and then use the red handle as a lever to apply a large amount of force, “unsticking” the stuck cap

I’m not saying that just because someone says you’re gay, you can’t correct them without being homophobic. I’m saying that the people that people that go out of their way to make sure everyone knows they’re not gay, who get offended at the idea of being mistaken for gay are acting homophobic.

I grew up in approximately the same era as you in a very conservative area, and yeah, there was a lot of homophobic behavior and slurs. But if someone asked if I was gay in this day and age, I think anything more than a quick correction is over-reacting.

But hey, that’s just my opinion; you’re welcome to yours. Have a good day friend!

And if they work that hard to make sure everyone knows they’re not gay, then bonus! You also found out that they’re homophobic.

I teach college chemistry, and half the time it’s to STEM majors that see the obvious applications, but the other half the time, my students are going into nursing or other “STEM-adjacent” fields and I try and try to get them to see that the applications are there, if they just look, but many of them never do.

You could be mixing up correlation and causation. The divorce could have happened for any number of reasons and the ensuing loneliness and alienation could have been what led the husband to seek validation in manosphere bullshit

An old character actor who became somewhat relevant again when Family Guy referenced him and he voiced his own character, but then he turned out to be a racist piece of shit.

That’s fair. I’d say it’s easier on the GM, but asks more of the other players

edit: Plus, there are free digital tools for doing that planning that that are super robust and easy to use. I find myself using Pathbuilder to plan out characters I know I’ll never have a chance to play.

Fair. I try to take that approach, too, but I still don’t like the cognitive dissonance of knowing someone I respect as an artist is a piece of shit. I can ignore it a bit if they evolved into an asshole over time (like I can still listen to early Kanye, barely), but I still don’t like it and it colors my appreciation of their work.

Isn’t Killer Mike one of those “black capitalism can save us” type guys anyway? Because that kind of tracks with him.

Maybe? I don’t know much about his personality or politics, but I would have said a lot of RTJ songs are fairly strongly anti-capitalist (“Ju$t,” “Report to Shareholders,” etc.). But maybe that’s just me projecting my own anti-capitalist beliefs on their lyrics.

Honestly at this point that’s how I feel about most artists in general.

Yeah, as my politics get more progressive/radical, it’s gotten to the point where I either have to listen to stuff that’s almost explicitly apolitical (mostly stoner/doom metal songs about death in battle, wizards, and weed work pretty well) or else I actively avoid reading about the artists so I can pretend they’re more progressive than they are.

I think if you get the video from Duck Duck Go, you can copy the link without the tracker. Plus, I think Firefox gives you option to “copy link without site tracking” from most search results

I was just thinking about this last weekend when I heard a Run The Jewels beat on a TurboTax ad during an NFL game.

Pathfinder 2 is sooo much better than DnD, especially if you want to GM any official campaigns/modules/one-shots. Paizo’s writing on their adventure paths make it so easy to just jump in and run a game or pilfer encounters and piecemeal a homebrew campaign

Plus, the character creation, ancestries, and classes are so flexible that you can play almost anything you can imagine without having to homebrew anything. You want play as the Rat King from The Nutcracker? Sure. A goblin sapper from Warcraft 2? Easy-peasy. You want to play as C-3PO? No problem. Christ, you can play as the fucking Velveteen Rabbit if you want.
