  1. Eh, I would argue that atheism is not a belief system, but the lack of one particular belief. But Trump does not have the clarity of thought to be really pro- or anti- anything. He just wants to get the money. Hmm, maybe he should be at the Christian table, next to Joel Osteen, etc? I mean, all it takes is a *professed* belief, right? Either way, he can't sit near me. I can't go back to prison.
  2. As an atheist, our table is full, sorry. He can go stand by the anarchist table and see if a spot opens up. Maybe one of them will brain him with a skateboard.
  3. No, but why should that stop you from investing in their project anyway?
  4. I guess he didn't have an aneurysm overnight after getting all worked up. Shit.
  5. Great, now Trump will be putting on his robe and wizard hat with 14-year-old Ukrainian girls.
  6. You think that dolt knows how to use a computer?
  7. There are tens of millions of Americans clapping right now.
  8. He's going to bang his shoe on the podium, isn't he?
  9. "Your drug costs will be plummeting downward." Uh huh. The Democrats are demanding health insurance premium increases. Oh, sure.
  10. "Wages are going up much faster than inflation" Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, sure, fat man.
  11. He's just making up numbers. "Nobody can believe what's going on" Yeah, you mean right now while you're talking?
  12. "Drugs brought in by ocean, and by sea, are now down 94%" Yeah, source? Because that is some grade a bullshit.
  13. This babbling fucking moron.
  14. What does that mean, they switch from birdshot to buckshot??
  15. I haven't posted in here in way too long. So here are some games I learned this year that get two thumbs up. (These aren't all games from this year, but they were new to me this year) SETI. This game is outstanding: the theme, the components, the design, all of it. Expansions are coming. If you don't like this game, you're wrong. Harmonies. I prefer heavier games, in general. But I do love a game that can be taught in 5 minutes, and played in 20 minutes, but still manages to pack in a lot of strategy and replayability. This is one of those games. Tremendous. Hegemony. Heavy, asymmetrical national domination. Great design. Apiary. I like this game more than I expected to. Worker placement with some twists: workers age up and get stronger, then leave the game for good. And you can bump other players' workers off of spots you need, but that helps them, too. As with Maracaibo, players have a lot of agency in how long or short the game goes, which I like. DinoGenics. Manage a dinosaur park! It's a pretty average game, but the theme and components are cool, and you don't need to find psycho board game nerds to play it with. Caverna. Agricola's much less punishing brother. It's sandboxy and thinky, and it won't make you feel stupid during the learning curve like Agricola. I do like Agricola more because of its tightness and the way the cards change things each game, but Caverna is a cool variant that won't make your girlfriend hate you for taking the last reed. Vinhos. Vital Lacerda has never missed. I don't like it as much as Lisboa, his masterpiece, imo, but I like it about as much as The Gallerist, which is to say, a lot. Firefly. It's a pretty average pick-up-and-deliver, but if you're a fan of the show/movie, you'll play this at least three times before you've seen all the cards and done all the reminiscing. Pandemic: Fall of Rome. A war-gamey twist on the Pandemic co-op formula. Fun, and another game you can play with just about anybody. Also, for those interested, Harmonies, Apiary, DinoGenics, and Caverna are all on BGA. See y'all next year....
  16. Ooh. Yeah. Umm, I'm gonna have to sort of go ahead and disagree with you there.
  17. This is disgusting. God damn.
  18. The worst fucking people ever.... HHS cuts millions in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics in retaliation for them suing over RFK's vaccine policy. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/hhs-cuts-millions-grants-american-academy-pediatrics-rcna249769
  19. Get a card that says "Merry Christmas" and Whiteout over it, then write "Happy Holidays." He will 100% scrape off the Whiteout to see if you actually did what he thinks you did.
  20. To be fair, you don't have $60,000 worth of plastic surgery to let a piece of good art distract from what a fine piece of no-sex-til-marriage ass you are now.
  21. There is a non-zero chance that he's trying to invade Cuba and he pointed to the wrong place on a map.
  22. It is very clear that they're looking forward to a time when there is no one to tell "the other side" of history.
  23. I disagree with Klatt on this take, but he can be wrong once every several years and still be one of the very best talking heads out there.
