I think she wins solely because of abortion. Yeah, dems didn't do anything to protect abortion rights, but they're also not the freaks showing up to protest or bomb abortion clinics and harass women on the daily. "Not actively making things worse" plays well for people in a lot of circumstances.

My prediction is that I'll be one of 10 PSL voters in my entire state. Will report back if I'm on the money or way off. Also voted in person for the first time ever because this backwards state doesn't do mail votes. It only took like 15 minutes but like why? I even got to use a touch screen to print out my ballot and stick it in a scanner. If you're worried about mail being manipulated, how come you don't worry that scanner dumps straight into a trash can hidden in the shell?

How was Rogue Trader? I haven't played the other Owlcat games because they have overwhelming options and I'm not a tabletop enjoyer. I read Rogue Trader is a completely different rules system though.

Haven't had trick or treaters in 7 years across 3 different apartments and multiple states. Just 1 fairy princess around Year 5 and had to scramble to find some stickers to give her. Everyone does the trunk or treat stuff now, which made sense for little kids, but is also sad because it turns it into a sectioned off activity that you drive to and then go home.

It's not a co-op. They're just relatively small and mostly hire senior developers who demand a higher level of respect and work/life balance. They used to only work on projects people wanted to based on consensus and personal interest. People floated between teams, you were free to convince people to work on your pet project instead, etc. They stopped doing that when they started on Half Life Alyx and talk about it in the design booklet because it also meant that literally nothing ever got completed since there was no direction and promising projects floundered from lack of support.

He's unfortunately the public face of Buddhism to the common person in the West, but I always have to go out of my way to emphasize how he's really just a drop in the ocean. He's not even the spiritual head of his own school, just the political figurehead for the exile government.

I studied at a Kagyu-Nyingma monastery and he never gets mentioned at all. His relevance to the average Buddhist who isn't Tibetan is really quite low, and even many Tibetan practitioners don't think of him as an authority, but just another teacher they may or may not be familiar with.

Someone practicing Zen or Chan or Pure Land, or anything else outside of that sphere doesn't regard him at all except on an individual level.

Edit: I know he tries to sell Buddhism to the average Westerner who is influenced by Facebook posts, so pithy quotes like this are his style. But the Gelug school is literally the debate school that practices reductio ad absurdum in the courtyards to suss out what is true. So it's always a little sad to see that and the rest of the philosophy de-emphasized.

They sort by 'all' and don't realize where they are.

Every recent US president has had personal phone conversations with the leaders of 'hostile' countries. Is Stein a powerless wrecker like AOC says or is she a 4D chess mastermind who will dismantle US democracy with the help of Putin? Can't have it both ways.

You are clearly emotional over the thousands of deaths I've caused. Please come back when you can have a rational debate about the merits of genocide.
