A deck-builder card game where you make poker hands, but Jokers and other cards give you crazy power-ups. I probably didn't explain that very well, but it's absurdly addictive. It's like the perfect Steam Deck game.

You could make the argument that if it was solely down to the popular vote, the last Republican president would have been George Bush in 1988.

The only Republican since then to win the popular vote was Bush II for his second term in 2004, but it's arguable that since Gore would have been the incumbent he might not have won that one. Plus there are a lot of hypotheticals like whether 9/11 could have been prevented under Gore, or if it had happened if the response was less aggressive, or if Bush II would have even run again after losing the first time etc. So it's impossible to say but certainly conceivable that Gore would have gone for two terms IMO.

I think tacking on irrelevant laws onto popular bills to get them passed shouldn't be allowed.

Politicians shouldn't be allowed to trade stocks, especially when they're in a position to pass laws that would directly affect their holdings.

Super PACs, it's absolutely wild that that's a thing IMO.

I think there should also be a "cooling off" period of some sort over passing/repealing laws. I'm thinking as an example of the Republicans after Obamacare was passed, when they tried to repeal it something like 70 times in 10 years. I get that things change and laws sometimes need to be amended or updated, but there should really be some system in place to prevent people from spamming up the whole system like that.

I'm also not a big fan of the filibuster.

It's funny how as soon as two competing projects (Life By You and Paralives) start to get closer to release they suddenly care about improving stuff they've ignored for 10 years lol

K-9 mail is eventually going to become Thunderbird for Android, just for anyone who didn't know.

That's definitely the more PG-13 version of why the ancient Greeks called it the Milky Way lol. Alternate version from Wikipedia:

In Greek mythology, Zeus places his son born by a mortal woman, the infant Heracles, on Hera's breast while she is asleep so the baby will drink her divine milk and thus become immortal. Hera wakes up while breastfeeding and then realizes she is nursing an unknown baby: she pushes the baby away, some of her milk spills, and it produces the band of light known as the Milky Way.

I like how they say things like "there may be a way" and "will be studied" as if they're trying to crack some immutable law of physics and not just taking some bigotry out of the stuff they made up.

As long as someone's punching nazis, I guess.

I'm the same, except when Conan does it. But also Conan could read out my tax returns and it'd be hilarious.

For those still wondering, a shanny/blenny is a little fish similar to a guppy, known for it's large eyes, blunt head and inability to acquire a proper-sounding name.

My uncle was visiting a few months ago from overseas and I was driving him somewhere in my home town, and he off-handedly mentioned a different route he'd taken to get there in the 1960s lol

When he was talking about turning 100: "I can't see, and I can't hear, but I can still eat so I'm not going to die."

He did indeed make it to 100.
