We have the potential to love like the sun does—a golden cup over flowing without expectation of return.

Trying to do that.

The inequities of others do not excuse our own.
Dog every single team the league coaches its players on how to utilize known gaps, failures, and oversights in how the game is refereed.

Like, that’s basically 80% of an O or D line coach’s job: how to commit holding on every down without getting called for holding.

Removing all competition actively incentivizes enshitification.

If Pete gets his way and we start a ground war in Venezuela, a lot of US soldiers are going to die instead of being captured because that’s what happens when one side starts breaking these basic rules.

Not to mention the morale problems “just do all the murders, we’re murderers” always causes.

Also one of the big issues soldiers had was with the muzzle break and its propensity to get filled with jungle detritus. That has been redesigned. As has the forward assist.

Most of that reputation is the same teething issues with early production runs nearly anything has.

I’m gonna go ahead and not look inside of this bag labeled dead dove and move on.

They’re all such characters!

But I could hear to split Pico and Pacha up. The longest they’ve ever been apart is a few minutes at the vet’s office as they take turns getting shots, blood draws, etc.

Pretty sure Miller would literally rather starve to death than even tacitly admit that every thriving great power in history has been a melting pot.

Other neoreactionaries/neofeudalists in the regime? I think some of them straight up believe the US crumbling will only make them richer.

Delusional.

It ruined Pat McAfee too tbh.

His show was way better before he blew up. I’m happy for him the individual and the people he took with him to the payday, but man, all that content is absolute unwatchable trash now.

The name on the payment was “Piper” and I’m guessing you can get a timestamp or transaction number from that.

Placed on an iPhone with iOS 26.1, via safari.

Just in case the info helps your ticket!

Can confirm PayPal showed up as one of the payment options, despite you having it disabled.

Apple Pay worked a treat.

Yeah, those prices seem right depending on exact specs.

$75 to $99 is a hell of a jump.

Now that ya’ll mention it, he did deserve worse.

A lot of games use 3D models but have a locked perspective making it appear 2D. Are we sure Hades isn’t one of them, and if so, does it still count as 2D?

$100 for a 1TB nvme sure does feel like a big discount from its constant availability for $50-100.

So strange that I have two 2TB nvme’s in my TV stand that were $115 when bought on a random day in June.
