The phrasing I've settled on personally is "the only choices were Harris, Trump, or Either."

In a winner take all election, anything but a vote for the runner up is an endorsement of the winner.

To rephrase this: they take the time to block out labels to ensure there is a reason for the brands to pay.

Nancy Pelosi also said that we have enough votes to take the house.

I'll consider listening to her again if and only if Hakeem Jeffries is Speaker.

I think you're underestimating how deep the pay gap goes.

"women's work" jobs are so consistently paid less that mere career choice is a huge part of the pay gap.

Please understand that "nothing" means the built up surplus runs out and there will be not enough money to pay all benefits.

The smart and easy fix would be to raise the cap on ss taxes while flattening the "you deserve more money because you made more money when you were working" weirdness.

Instead, they'll likely either do nothing and force the dems to fix it in four years, play with benefits to make the poor suffer, or try and replace it with a phased in 401k style stock market scam.

(that last option, btw, is killing social security.)

In common commercial english, i would read that as "this merchant will offer to trade any of the books for an amoumt of currency equal to half the book's cover price plus $1."

Such vagueness also suggests sufficient informality that the merchant may either accept seperate offers or veto the general rule on a case-by-case basis.

Is it too much to ask for a meme template that doesn't DIRECTLY contradict your message?

Or did you mean to imply that single-issue anti-gaza-slaughter voters are the equivalent of star wars criticts being properly annoyed by folk who like melodramatic space opera?

Has it also led chidren to believe that if you cut down a tree with an axe it will just hang in the sky instead of falling down?

So, you're asking if there is a shoplifter whose small-dollar.spree was stopped by target, who was then arrested by the police, who then refused an initial plea offer from the DA, who was then charged by a grand jury, refused a pre-trial plea offer, went to trial, refused the pre-verdict plea offer, and was then found guilty?

Well, what about someone who hit 60k over 120 visits?

"they" has always been proper, it just used to be incorrectly taught agaist like split infinitives and ending a sentence with a proposition.

Wikipedia dates its first usge as over 500 years ago, and complaints less than 300.

Fwiw, I realized years ago that the only people whose opinion of my parenting actually matter are the adults my descendents will grow up to be.

Yes, you did. In approximately the same way that All Lives Matter was just a dog-whistley way of saying "No they don't" to Black Lives Matter.

When someone says I suffer from THING, responding with other people suffer too as your primary message is always a dismissal of the person's suffering.

If you want to avoid the inferred message, include an affirmative message of acknowledgement, like "nobody should suffer like that."

First house rule from my P2e remaster game, offered for your review.

Spell Slot Heresy

Since Pathfinder is balanced at a per encounter level, per-day limits on daily abilities are largely only kept around due to tradition. And tradition is just peer pressure from strangers, I don't see a good reason to follow it.

Any spellcaster can recover spent spell-slots with a one-hour activity, as noted below, while characters with focus points can recover them during combat.


Recover Magic

Traits: concentrate, exploration, manipulate
Requirements: You have expended a spell slot or used some other once-per-day activity

You spend one hour to recover your expended magical power.

During such time you may not work on any other activities or actions or be treated for wounds. At the end of the hour you regain spell slots or once-per-day abilities as per your daily preparations. If you have cast spells from a wand or staff, the item also regains any expended uses or charges.

If you are a prepared spellcaster such as a cleric or wizard, you may not replace what spells you have prepared for the day.


Refocus (1A)

Traits: concentrate, flourish, manipulate
Requirements: You are missing at least one focus point.

You take a moment to perform some deed to restore your magical connection, such as touching a talisman, speaking a phrase, or simply taking a breath. Doing so restores 1 Focus Point at the end of your turn.


EDIT: For the record, please presume the above is all released under the ORC license as a derivative of Player Core 1.
