I honestly figured this was what the GOP was holding out for.

They know that defunding ACA is a losing issue, and they saw how badly they got fucked on Tuesday in deep red territory over Trump's economy.

What do they think is going to happen in the next 12 months to change that?

For context, the cost of the ACA subsidies for one year is less than the giveaway Trump just promised Argentina, as long as they re-elected his preferred candidate.

The Dems are willing to give the GOP everything they want in the spending bill in exchange for a one-year extension of ACA subsidies, and the GOP still won't do it.

This is fucking wild.

I remember hearing that Xbox Game Pass was going up in price, but I never heard by how much. I just had the charge hit my account.

How did they raise it 50%?!

I'm not going to quit over it. I do enjoy the game and the gameplay loops.

I just also think they're making a lot of silly decisions right now that are unforced errors.

Wow, they separated it from battle.net balance so that you can buy multiple copies of items in the store.

If you want a specific chair from the real money shop to go with a table you have and you want to arrange four chairs around the table, you would need to buy the real money chair four times.

It's weird how quick people were to jump to Blizzard's defense when this was announced when it was obviously going to be a RMT currency from the start.

Noooooooooo!

I'm so sorry to hear that. I don't have any recommendations, but I hope you find the right therapist.

Do you want to lose the midterms? Because this is how you lose the fucking midterms.

The Dems are talking about a "compromise" where they get a vote on ACA subsidies in exchange for passing the spending bill.

They're fucked if they back down, they know they're fucked if they do it, but they're still thinking about doing it anyway.

Price isn't my big barrier right now. I'm looking for something comfy that's suitable for WFH or gaming.

I've got an old gamer chair, and it's not really what I need. 😂

An office supply warehouse is a good idea, for sure. I may have to give that a try.

I know people have been down on the Switch games, and some of that is very valid.

It feels like the Pokémon games are building to a fun place, though, and I can't wait to see what comes next!
