Like the left better actually.

This is the root of the problem, isn't it? When someone proves you wrong, and you persist despite evidence to the contrary, that's pretty stupid, right? This high school debate sophistry that Kirk and his contemporaries engage in isn't a good faith discussion and most of his audience isn't equipped with the critical thinking skills to understand that.

Three Houses just stapled a Persona downtime system to FE. Great game, but they didn't have to copy-paste it over and over again to make more compelling games. If you look back through the series there are a lot of great games with different paradigms.

I do agree that Engage was garbage though. Gameplay wise it seemed really solid but I couldn't get past how bad the story and writing was.

This guy's a turd but this is probably the right move. Studies are showing that the effects of THC on a developing brain aren't great.

Cannabis prohibition across the board is pretty dumb but we should probably limit it to 25+, and since that obviously isnt happening we should be pretty transparent about potentially adverse effects like we do with tobacco labels and should do for alcohol as well.

I can walk into a dispensary and buy a quarter for like 50 bucks.

A cloverleaf would only add significant time if there was traffic, in which case you'd have to be pretty stupid to miss your exit since everything is happening in slow motion.

I've driven in a lot of places and MA isn't really any worse than anywhere else I've driven. CT is way worse in terms of sucky drivers IMO

Could you elaborate? Truly not getting it.

Am i missing something? What's the problem here? Just go through the cloverleaf, you maybe added a minute to your trip.

I just think they're fun to shoot. I don't have any illusions that I should be walking around with guns on the daily as I am unlikely to ever have the training to safely draw on a threat, but just going to the range and making some pew-pew at targets is fun as hell.

This may be apocryphal but I recall that the reason his staff didn't intervene sooner was because he was prone to lashing out at anyone who disturbed him. So he might not have died so painfully if not for being such a colossal asshole.

Mf you didn't make a track, the AI did. Try again.

Isn't that irrelevant if the league isn't making money though? People watch the NBA. They don't watch the WNBA. The comparison you should be drawing for "enough" would be other niche sports nobody watches like bowling or whatever.
