But sometimes this can be uncomfortable... Are you able to just confidently walk up and grab it or do you loudly first ask "DO YOU NEED A HAND?!"
Most of the time this makes them super uncomfortable, which is great! Better them than me. But other times they're way too okay with it.

Dammit man, this hits close to home. I'm from Missouri and we used to talk shit on Arkansans all the time. Now I've lived in Arkansas for over a decade and can confirm... there are some sketchy parts. Lol, I need to escape.

That discrepancy hit me as well. How are the seats determined?

800 gamers tried to beat an '80s adventure without a walkthrough—only 2 did - Only .25% of players completed the AGAT, the Adventure Game Aptitude Test, designed by fiendish developer Woe Industries.

I had the same problem as a kid. My cousins had beaten it and given me some tips, but I could never figure it out. I also tried again a few years ago on an emulator but didn't have the patience to make it very far! Fun game though.

Well-meaning but misguided pro-LGBTQIA arguments
Reply in thread
That's exactly where I took my argument with 2 coworkers last week. I tried multiple methods to appeal to empathy or logic, but both failed. So I just declared that we aren't changing any policies with our discussions so maybe we just focus on issues that have a more direct impact on our lives, like worker's rights, healthcare, environmental issues, etc.

Wait, Jared Leto in Tron?
This hit me like a brick to the face earlier too. I'm relieved to see plenty of others share my sentiment!
But who else still jams out to 30 secs to mars every now and again?

Dozens of former Katie Porter staffers pen open letter defending her, months after backlash
Reply in thread
The only live shows I've watched in years is sports. Lately some NBA playoffs have been entertaining, but the ads are insufferable. I've been adverse to ads for a long time but especially the gambling ones are just ridiculous.
If you haven't been exposed to this shit in awhile, then yeah, I could totally see it being overwhelming. Hopefully Steyer can't just buy enough name recognition to win, but sadly that seems to be one of the biggest drivers of turnout.

Ahhh, that makes sense. I'm American and hadn't read/heard about that part of Canadian politics in awhile, so I appreciate the response!

Steyer can keep throwing millions at the race. I like Porter but she's got a long road to go.

My wife and I made the decent walk at least 6-7 times while we were there for 10 days 2 years ago. The fried onions and sauces they put on make the hot dogs so delicious! One of multiple solid reasons to visit, for sure.

Hollywood Is Cranking Out Original Movies. Audiences Aren’t Showing Up.

Those shows aren't going anywhere. They'll be waiting for your viewing pleasure whenever you're ready! I was late to Game of Thrones at like season 5, so still had time to catch up. I hope Succession keeps going and Severance is really fucking good right now...
I've been getting into nature shows lately outta nowhere. There's something soothing about it, but they're also informative. I'm just rolling with it

Trump's attack on ActBlue's "dark money" was backed by dark money
Reply in thread
Yep, they come in from random races all over the country. It would be great if I had the money to throw around if I liked the candidates, but that's just not happening. I started spamming Stop a few weeks ago and thankfully the texts have dried up. It was ridiculous!

Yeah, I like listening to Sam Harris but goddamn does he rant against Islam a lot. I skip through a lot of his Israel takes, as he apparently thinks all Palestinians are Hamas.

Probably not official, as that likely doesn't exist (yet). These are sellers that are catering to fuckers that want to bask in the misery of others. Since they're trying to profit from this situation, we have an opportunity to make their business tougher and hopefully aggravate them into failing.
