My account has been locked up because my daughter has three separate BG3 games going with friends. Last week my son said we need to put a time limit on her because nobody else can play on Steam.

If you're ok with small spaces, the Seattle underground tours are really really fun.

I live in West Seattle so I'm biased, but I think the best park in the city is Lincoln park over on the west side of West Seattle. Grab some sandwiches (or ice cream) from Husky Deli in Alaska Junction then head down to Lincoln Park, get a bench down by the waterfront, and just hang out. The southern most part of Lincoln Park is the easiest way to get to the water. You can go thru the park too (which is a big beautiful urban forest) but the walk down to the water thru the park is a little steep, especially for people not used to hiking.

If dorky Americana type stuff is fun for you, there are lots of semi-pro sports happening around then. Our family likes going to the Dub Sea Fish Sticks games here in West Seattle, but there's teams all over Seattle. The Fish Sticks play low level baseball and it's much more people having a good time outside and screwing around than actual serious baseball. There's also Ballard FC for soccer, with the same vibe.

Imagine being so divorced from your community that you think only the actual act of being killed in their school affects children and not the practicing for active shooters, dealing with the fact that people walk into schools and murder children in your society, etc and not understanding the possible consequences of that on small children.

Very good statistical argument. You may have missed a very small issue though, the part where it's children and being murdered and them having to deal with that. Other than that, well done.

When is she coming and do you have a car?

I play SSX 3 Gamecube like it's my 2nd job.

He said he could connect to windows and fedora thru bluetooth.

I was having the same problem last night trying to connect an controller thru bluetoothctl on Mint.

Is this bait? It sure feels like bait.

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know it existed.

It wasn't for you. Your posts are banal and amateurish. It was for other people.

Back in the before times, bills would come to a vote and bills that had virtually total support would go thru with unanimous consent. Now, bills are blocked from being voted on so that Senators aren't on the record being shitbags. As you quoted Vance saying, "“it’s idiotic for us to take the bait” in regards to Democrats using the bill to force Republicans to publicly declare whether or not they support IVF."

Think about that statement from a Senator, then marvel at how fundamentally different he sees the job of a Senator from say, you or me or regular humans.

Duckworth is putting a face to whoever opposes a wildly popular issue, IVF treatment. It causes people to think about the issue, because legislators are in fact advocators (you know, in complete contrast to Vance trying to hide what he advocates for). There's nothing performative about it.

in my opinion, it is the standard democrat cynicism. it is simply something that in the future can be used as a bullet point for her future candidacy. without context, one could write ‘honestly’ she “fought” for IVF.

For Duckworth and for many people, IVF is a opportunity that is basically magic. It changes their lives and it gives them the opportunity to have children. There are few things more powerful than that, and it's tone deaf to an extreme degree to think that something is performative just because it isn't targeted at you.

I mean, usually I'd say you're being a petulant childish asshole, but I'm trying to be better too.

It's ok if everything isn't important to you, champ. It can be important to others and we can support that. There will be Republican supporters of IVF that wanna know too.

I bought the game and I still considered emulating it just to run it at higher res.
