I’m not 100% sure, but it seems pretty important your windshield doesn’t explode inward when you’re flying a plane.

Watch out, they bite.

Honestly, I'm not a mycologist, so someone with more expertise feel free to correct me, but I'm pretty sure that's BS.

Because we should at least be consistent in our arguments even if they're not. That's why I'm saying anything at all.

They have to act outraged or the legitimate outrage of democrats and progressives will make them look even worse. It's vital they maintain every aspect of their alternate reality or it all crumbles.

The republican party universally sucks, but it isn't a monolith on this topic. Many old school republicans hate Russia and love funding the military industrial complex.

The vote passed 70-29 in the Senate.

The margins are so slim in the house, you only need a handful to vote in favor for this to pass.

If 22 of 48 republicans voted in favor of it in the Senate, you can get at least that many in the House, which is more than enough.

Their only play to prevent this was to avoid bringing it to the floor, which is exactly what they've done for the last month.

Even as a split bill, this should pass easily.

Ukraine also has bipartisan support. There's no guarantees it'll pass, but it passed in the Senate just fine.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, though the historical context makes the statement very different. The point wasn't that you can only pray in private. The point was you can't use apparent piety to increase your social collateral.

Doubtless, some of these people are only out there for exactly that reason. Others because they genuinely care and are deeply misguided in how best to demonstrate that concern.

Completely agree. I genuinely believe everyone should be allowed to believe and behave how they want, free from coercion, so long as they aren't inhibiting anyone else's ability to believe or behave as they please.

I think there's plenty to criticize here without resorting to the same outlandish polemics they employ.

Okay, so this app is super messed up, but this take on prayerwalking is the equivalent to satanic panic for D&D.

Prayerwalking is just what the portmanteau describes. Sometimes it contains an evangelistic bent of looking for specific people to pray with or whatever, but mostly it's just people out praying for people and places.

In your experience, what percentage of servicemembers are like that? I have my own impressions as an outsider, but my anecdotal experience is likely far less meaningful than your anecdotal experience.

47 locations in 8 states. 34 of them are in Texas.

I think it's fair to describe it as primarily a Texas experience.

It’s a gas station chain in Texas called Buc-ee’s. Some Texans freak out about it in a huge way. I have lots of Buc-ee branded apparel as a result of my brother-in-laws passion, which he’s instilled in my niece who now insists on more shirts for her aunt and uncle.

I’m cool with it as they pay everyone well above minimum wage. If you want to fan out over a corporation, you could do much worse.

Can’t wait for more info. Rimworld DLC is like a semi-annual holiday for me. Always a good time.

Or the missing princess of Wales? There’s a lot to unpack here.

The answer to the actual article and not just the headline, seems to be an unequivocal yes. The question that really needs to be answered is whether his core audience will care.

It may be enough to push the “RINO’s” toward someone like RFK Jr.

Absolutely, the real problem is the west is failing to live up to its promises. I hope republicans either develop a conscience or can have their arms twisted into doing the right thing.

If and when you get something please share!

I appreciate that perspective, but the alternative perspective is they lost 10% of all their Abrams. It’s not great news.

I’d be curious to hear what your homebrew looks like. I would love to incorporate it if possible. Cortex Prime has rules for mobs of npcs the players can mow through.

I did a prequel session with pre-built characters during the yellow turban rebellion and they were tasked with preventing a yellow turban garrison from reinforcing the last turban city which was besieged.

They ended up blasting their way into the besieged city instead and just ending the siege. They had a great time.

So we’ve done a ten year time skip and the players are assuming control of a fictional city/province after the previous ruler died at Hulao Pass. The coalition against Dong Zhuo has splintered and it’s every warlord for themselves.

The company rules from Reign allow them to run a city and interact with other leaders of the era and set their own missions in order to survive the era of chaos.
