Don't forget his weird obsession with windmills being the apex predator of birds.

I like your list. I think Mark Kelly is the obvious best choice and I hope she lands on him. Novelty factor is strong, it would be foolish to underestimate the astronaut card. He balances the ticket well and might also help win Arizona.

Jon Stewart would be absolutely hilarious, though. If nothing else than for a potential VP debate with alleged couch fornicator Vance.

Judges are appointed for life, so they can be impartial and don’t need to worry about who won’t hire them after their term ends if they made unfavorable decisions.

Brother I'm not talking about letting the new president fire them at will, I'm talking about term limits and retirement ages.

4 years is absurdly long to you?

This one is maybe on me since my word choice was possibly ambiguous, but I was referring to the campaign cycle - not the length of the term.

I'm in a similar boat too, but I don't have any advice either sadly. I've been struggling with managing hyperfixations my whole life too so all I can offer is sympathy. The switching off issue is especially rough and has been ruining my sleep my whole life.

I can't use weed medically sadly since my country is insanely archaic in terms of drug policy, but hopefully it will change some day. I'm glad some people out there get some relief.

What the fuck are those MAGA idiots high on?

Fox News and a lifetime of leaded gasoline is a hell of a drug.

Would be funny to run back the "I approve of this message" counterplay, but I think they have too much respect for Biden to do that.

It's been a week. I'd have been shocked if she was ahead already. Some of the polls in this aggregate were even taken before Biden stepped down, for Christ's sake.

The momentum is going in the right direction, but there is still a lot of work to be done. She has had a fairly quiet Vice Presidency, while Trump is a household name. It's a good thing she's gotten all those campaign fund donations, because she's going to need them.

Republicans being unable to stop themselves from being racist and sexist might well play in Harris' favour here. The vast majority of racists and sexists were going to vote for Trump anyway, but this type of approach and messaging might alienate some moderate undecided voters.

Just hours after she announced her candidacy, Trump’s super PAC released an ad attacking Harris, claiming she “covered up Joe’s obvious mental decline” and that she “knew Joe couldn’t do the job, so she did it” herself.

Is this really the own he thinks it is? By most measures the Biden/Harris term has been fairly successful so giving your opponent credit for the lions share of that work is certainly an interesting strategy. And the coverup is a fairly toothless accusation since Biden actually stepped down in time.

The US is bizarro world in so many aspects. Political Supreme Court appointees that are appointed for life (!), two party system, the electoral college, the absurdly long election cycles...

I think this was pretty much the best that could be expected from an american presidential candidate. Israel's position in the geopolitical balance of power makes it impossible for her to just outright denounce them. She's signalling that she's (hopefully) going to be less limp-wristed than Biden was on the issue, but the US's hands are largely tied when it comes to Israel - at least for as long as the forward outpost in the Middle East is as desirable as it still is to US interests.

Amazing. I respect Joe Biden and think he had a pretty good term overall, but stuff like this shows just what's been lacking.

On a related note, please let Trump be dumb enough to accept a debate with Kamala.

It's a shame the writers and directors of The Frontier were so shit. The programmers did stellar job within the confines of that crappy engine and I'm still salty Xilandros fantastic vehicle implementation isn't made available as a standalone (officially).

Yes, the reply above you is exactly what I meant.

Is that release date too late for a possible GOTY claim? I know I'm high on wishful thinking but I'm coconut pilled right now and letting myself dream. After all they've been through I really really wish this game comes out as a slam dunk GOTY game-of-the-decade type thing.

I wish they didn't go with simplified ammo. I know it's a small thing but I loved having to weigh the pros and cons of weapons based on the ammo they use, and I'll die a little inside every time I unload my M16 and shove those rounds into the AK-47 I just picked up. And seeing generic "pistol ammo" and "assault rifle ammo" is so immersion breaking - and this is a series that lives and dies off immersion.

But who knows. I might be dead wrong here and the slight dumbening down might help them attract a wider audience, in which case I'm happy for them. No matter what in the end I just wish them huge success after all they've gone through.

Has to be Jesus Christ Superstar (original 1970 album version). I got into all sorts of other artists a little bit later, but that was the first bit of music to really hook me. I remember walking around the schoolyard alone listening to it on a cassette tape walkman around that time.

To be fair he was never in a really bad car, and this does in part show the huge effect machinery has on results in F1. Still, the consistency to almost never put in a stinker or have a poor qualy and fail to make it up on the Sunday is really worth highlighting.

Toto just found his new bargaining chip.

I haven't thought about this game in many years. I only remember it taking so long to come out it became an early meme, and then finally coming out as a wet fart after all those years.

I played a little bit of this, and while it's definitely still a work in progress, it actually feels like a cohesive game coming together.

I guess the mod is based on earlier leaked builds? I only took a glance at the ModDB page. Have you played the original? Is the mod any better?

Eh, I think Monaco is special enough to get a pass. It's okay with one track like that on the calendar. It's got enough about it to make it feel special, and at least the qualy makes up for the race. Monaco qualifying is still one of the most exciting and entertaining days on the F1 calendar.
