I watched the episode with the Zoo game yesterday. I would like to amend my earlier response as follows:

I watched the first episode of The Devil's Plan the other day. I enjoyed it. It's another Korean reality gameshow in the mode of Physical 100, but this show emphasizes problem solving instead of brawn. 12 contestants trying to win a starting prize of 500 million won (about $371,000). The prize could increase depending upon the contestants' ability to finish challenges/puzzles.

You folk obviously don't know much about Thomas Massie or his history with Trump. https://rollcall.com/2020/03/27/who-is-thomas-massie-the-house-member-from-kentucky-trump-wants-thrown-out-of-the-gop/

FWIW: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/prediction-market-faq#§whats-the-current-status-of-prediction-markets I found the above while trying to figure out if the Zeitgeist prediction market was kosher for US residents (which I'm still not sure about).

A lot of people judge a President by how the economy fared during their tenure even though Presidents have very little to do with it. Carter's term coincided with the fallout from Bretton Woods. It was an economic situation decades in the making. The great economic malaise sucked ass and few peeps were happy living through it. On foreign policy - where Presidents actually have influence - Carter tried to liberalize the USA's influence (emphasizing human rights and such) and made some progress until the Iranian hostage crisis near the end of his term. That was his undoing as Reagan talked tough and Iran actually feared him. Reagan was the beneficiary of the Volker shock which ended the inflation and economic malaise that dominated the 70s. He was also really good at delivering speeches. He was charismatic and life was good while he presided. The wall also came down shortly after his tenure in part due to the deficit spending on the military that the Soviets couldn't match. They both did some good things, but the legacy of their actual accomplishments is largely overshadowed by the economic conditions that prevailed during their tenures. Conditions that were created/governed by monetary policy (ie. the Federal Reserve) more than their fiscal policies.

Fuck yeah. The first champions was good shit. The slugfest brackets generally had the above avg bots battling it out (there were a few poseurs in there, but not many). Bring on the destruction.

I'll take things South Austin's mom knows for $800, Alex.

To be fair, I had extremely low expectations. I didn't say eveyone speaking met my low bar. There are some that did though. Somewhatracist.gif

I'm watching the debate before the vote in the background and I'm fairly surprised to hear a lot of folks sounding thoughtful and rational.

Abstain is what results from pulling out in time.

Doors. Odd sci-fi flick about alien objects that appear all over the Earth. Most of this movie did not make any sense to me. I managed to watch the whole thing and I'm bamboozled and befuddled as to what exactly happened and what the point of the movie was.

If they were wanting a best outcome for a functional House, yes. If they are wanting the best outcome for strife and division in the Republican party, not so much.
