Can't get 5 adults that REALLY want to play DnD together to play DnD.

Leftist memes did not lose dems the election. Voter apathy and the sheer popularity of fascism did.

I'm not necessarily attributing blame here, but I'm pretty sure that OP is suggesting that leftist memes helped lead to this apathy. Say what you will, Trump voters were excited for their candidate... somehow, despite the list of reasons not to being far too long to be listed here. But many on the left either were just lukewarm on her, just considered her the lesser of two evils, or were protest voting third party or abstaining for one reason or another, mostly over Palestine. And there were memes galore to make clear to everyone what the general mood was. It doesn't exactly inspire enthusiasm to those that need that a lot of enthusiasm to even bother (those people are frustrating, btw). I don't know how much it actually contributed to or propogated the apathy versus how much it just reflected the apathy already there, but a case could be made either way.

Correction, about 20-25 precent are. He's only got 71 million votes so far in a county of over 300 million. Half are just too lazy to fucking do anything about it, even turn out to vote.

412... and a half?

What income do they think he has, taxable or not? Does the IRS know about his secret identity, but they're just cool and keep it to themselves?

Nail holes? Black mold? Functioning power outlets? Nothing a nice inch thick coat of matte white latex can't fix!

Fun fact, I moved into an apartment once where the landlord had painted the inside of the tub/shower combo to cover the lime scaling. You know what's really slippery when wet, turns out? Latex paint. You know what bubbles up and chips off after a few months of being intermittantly sprayed with hot water and stepped on? Latex paint. So dumb, so pointlessly dangerous. Had to put down traction pads in my damn shower so I didn't break my tailbone or crack my skull. And by the time I moved out, the tub was like 90 percent unpainted anymore and looked a damn mess. Dumb.

There are alternatives that are arguably better.
You can play the exact same puzzles as on the NYT site without giving them your traffic. There are archives of their puzzles that you can play for free. If you like connections, go to https://www.connectionsunlimited.org/. For wordles, go to https://wordlearchive.com/. Just Google for archived versions of your favorite games.

Then there's also other publications that have puzzle games live this. For example, as I like the mini crosswords, there's a student publication, The Observer, that has these mini crosswords too: https://fordhamobserver.com/category/fun-and-games/daily-mini-crossword/.

Supporting the tech workers at NYT doesn't mean you have to give up your daily game addiction

Reminds me of when Trump tweeted that "My daughter, Ivanka, just arrived in South Korea. We cannot have a better, or smarter, person representing out country." and someone responded "Why not?"

Dude went to see Barbie a second time to seethe about feminism. Entirely missed Openheimer. "Too long, too sciency."

He's certainly old enough to get real time if they try him as an adult for aggravated assault.

This is from the last election in 2020. How fun that it's still relevant!
