The bigger issue as I see it is that Trump wants to rule by charisma first. I don't think Vance particularly gives a shit if people curse his name - meaning that, at the first sign of things getting out of hand, I think he's more willing to hit the "start killing protestors until the streets are red" button.

I knew people when I used to work at a grocery store who would come in when we opened at 7 or 8, grab a 24-case of, say, Natty, and come back at 3 or 4 for another case, and some come back at 11 for ANOTHER.

Actually, with cuneiform, you might still see people talking about trousers. Pants as we know them were popularized by Persian fashion originally, IIRC (though the garment itself dates back a lot farther to the Asian steppe), and then pollinated to Europe via military expansion and practicality by Rome.

Gotta pick my first, FFX. To Zanarkand is still one of the best ways to open a game.

And it's barely gonna make a dent. This is like him spending $5.

I love Lancer, but I have real issues with the lack of balance passes (because printing errata would apparently be unfair for hardcopy players).

I'd be down to watch this. Give RFK a 1br apartment on the sketchy side of town, an old Toyota Camry where the CEL won't turn off (but you're sure it's just an O2 sensor, ignore it for now), and a job 40 minutes away where you're pretty sure they're not gonna fire you but you're definitely not getting a pay raise any time soon. For extra fun, let's throw $40k worth of student loans on there.

I wonder how even the ones that grew up in something like this, like JD Vance, would be able to cope.

Also, for the people who care about that, firing squad is how you kill other soldiers. By extension, the Pentagon is acknowledging this man as a combatant and not a terrorist.

There are a few, unconfirmed and anonymous staff leaks that say he's been stopped from using nuclear weapons several times.

Also we literally can trace, at least with some pyramids, people who built them. They weren't slaves, they were masons and craftspeople and levied labor - and from graffiti we've found, it was considered a pretty great honor to work on one. Even just from a religious angle, do you want heathens who you've forced into slavery to build your vehicle for ascension into the afterlife?
