The dark dimension.

I trained myself up to this one also. It's great for Spot the difference pictures and games.

I can hear high frequencies that supposedly only kids and teens still can. The most recent time it was 'useful' was (spoilers) a magic show in Vegas a few years ago.

Otherwise my hearing is terrible.

Unless he's talking about something terrible he's planning to do. Then it's likely true.

There are a lot of categories of food and drink that I will never understand how anyone likes them. 'Unsweetened and carbonated' is reasonably high on the list for me - carbonation itself is bitter in my experience, and bitter by itself is unpleasant.

Of course different strokes for different folks, I don't think people who like it should stop, I just don't get why they do.

So you're saying it should actually be pronounced "La Croiks"?

I care a tiny bit. I could care less, but not easily.

I suppose it is made of beta particles.

Just One can also do a lot more than 4 players. If you add additional writing surfaces and erasable markers (or pencils or whatever) it's pretty much unlimited.

Edit: It has enough for 7 players in the box (at least my copy does)

Because no clock ever should show 00:60.

Well, it's 59:60 but close enough.

The name and theme remind me a bit of Perfect Hair Forever

Naa, they 'took over' WCW in about nineteen ninety eight six.

Well, actually...

That would be infuriating.

Maybe keep askandroid in reserve for when that time arrives

Beautifully said.

Ah, I see what you mean

Yeah, I was writing for the perspective of someone whose votes mattered at all to begin with (which isn't myself). Indeed the electoral college is its own catastrophe and needs to die.

Anyway, yes, the DNC is to blame. I agree.
However a part of the mechanism that helped trump win is opinions like "even if I was in a swing state there’s no way in fucking hell id be voting for a genocider" - I get it, I really do, but if I were in a swing state myself there's no way I'd help the rapist convict even worse genocider win. There were no good options this election, but there were orders of magnitude differences between levels of bad.

I agree with most of what you said, but voting 3rd party in the general election really is mathematically equivalent to simply not voting.
And it's worse when it's voting 3rd party in place of voting for the least bad of the two electable parties, then (just like not voting) it's mathematically equivalent to voting for the most bad of the two parties.

This is not an opinion. It's how the elections are structured, and I would very much prefer a better structure, but we don't have it and have to work with what we have.

Even in the primaries, voting 3rd party usually simply means being unable to influence the major parties - but in this case you are absolutely correct that the "primaries" were a farce.

They do now
