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.

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.

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.

...why did you censor John Lewis's face in the first pic?

Honestly it's an unreasonable expectation to expect all voters to be excellent judges of character, or even understanding enough about practicalities to identify the better of two bad options. Even if these people had access to better information, would they process it correctly? I can be somewhat understanding of folks who were tricked by these lies given the context that they live in.
