Between house/senate control and even just presidential election results, this is very hard to be true; 2 years Obama, 2 years Biden, 2 years Clinton, and 4 years Carter. Last good chance for that was with Kennedy.

people were using coded messages throughout history and careful about lists of names, meetings, even before modern surveillance stored and processed seemingly all information exchanged. even if you're doing something, if someone you haven't known a long time asks or asks insecurely, the answer is no

The unfortunate thing is that John has already said a bunch of nonsense, though none as wild as this. I can't remember specifics, but do remember stopping paying attention to anything he said pre-2020, mostly libertarian stuff.

I wish! This was an action rpg, not a turn based/tile one, and I don't think it had anything to actually do with EO, just the characters were remarkably similar. I want to say some of the class names were even the same?

This is part of why I stopped playing it, the difficulty I wanted to play at didn't exist; too easy to feel good, too hard to be cozy with it.

Maybe: people don't want to say bye, because of superstition reasons, so they start with mmmmmmmmm, but then can't think of things to say that aren't weird so just use the word anyway.

IMO games critique is at pre Buster Keaton levels, and it creates things like this. No one talks about mechanics as message, in spite of "The Medium is the Message" coming out in 1964. Makes me think of the final photo from Harvest Moon 64, and how it feels like people would not respond well to it.

I want to like this card but my lizard delver brain can't stand it lol. I imagine there's something Death's Shadowy that really excels with it though.

For some reason the idea of this post without context cracked me up.

I know I’m not a fancy political strategist but I’ve just got this slight feeling that “look at what hypocrites Republicans are on trade policy” might not be as effective a message to the average voter as “your kids might die because Donald Trump thinks it’s okay to feed cows chicken shit”

I understand that's what it sounds like! But I want a professional to do it, I just don't want to have to interact with them at all about it.

Eating out of a bowl improves snacking so much, it's wild that it takes us so long to relearn this.
