A world renowned, pathological liar "played you"? The guy famous for a decades long history of incredible contradictions, tall tales and epic falsehoods. That guy. The Mythomaniac to end all mythomanics. The compulsive liar that lies more easily than he breaths? He played you? Really? I'm shocked!

It would be irrelivant. Trump will change anything and everything to suit his needs. You can change whatever you want and he'll just change it back on day one. You know, that one day he made very clear that he was going to be a dictator. That's the one day set aside to change every single thing he needs to. After that, nothing else matters.
Yeah, I'm no expert but won't Trumps tariffs on everything under the sun be much much worse than the inflation?? Manufacturing won't come back to the USA, it'll just shuffle around any of dozens of countries that will still be cheaper to operate out of. Also, retalitory tariffs are a thing which will harm what manufacturing IS in the USA. Also, Trump promised his rich buddies 3 trillion dollars in tax breaks. He's going to slash health budgets (and more besides) to fund it. What are people thinking!? They're going to fund the ultra rich from their own pockets AND pay massively more for goods while damaging local industry?! I mean there's a million other things to worry about including mass-deportation but cost of living is about to increase BIGLY!?
I've always found this subject fascinating. Why are we all so different in this regards? What's going or not going on up there? Anyway, this is my result…
Tap for spoiler
I imagined a bright red ball, like a shiny red plasticy looking ball
The "person" pushing the ball was just a disembodied arm, the ball rolled and bounced around the pool table much as a pool ball would
The arm was pretty much my arm. I didn't bother to visualise the person, instead concentrating on the interaction with the ball.
The ball was larger than a pool ball, maybe softball sized or even slightly bigger
The table was basically a pool table, green felt, but smaller or maybe the ball was just much bigger
All this I knew from my visualisation but when answering the questions I probably solidified my thoughts a bit. When viewing things they are constantly changing or shifting to match new information/ideas/concepts of what's there. I don't really see the whole scene at once easily, instead focusing in on different aspects of it. For example if I'm concentrating on the red, shiny ball then the table is just a green plane/background.
Wow, that's a bummer :-/ For me it's 15-20 min by car assuming a few minutes walk to where I've parked. 25 min by bike (20 min by road but I take a safer 'scenic route') and about 40 min by bus and about 10 minutes of that is walking to/from the bus stop. And the bus fare gets capped at 8 trips per week so every trip thereafter is free meaning if you commute to work every day, Friday and all weekend will be unlimited free trips.
So because you will be able to generate game assests easily without weeks of modelling and texturing etc games will be waaaay cheaper to buy right?… Right?…
I don't get it? A space for gays? Or Gaaaaaays in spaaaaaace!!! I need to know!!
I don't live in the US and am not an expert on any of this State vs Fed stuff but it seems to be the case that the government at the State level CAN restrict speech and descriminate against you based on your sexual orientation? Because they're targeting books/speech that are relavant to people, partly at least, due to them being in the LGBTQIA+ community. And it's up to YOU to defend your right to access that speech by taking legal action? So a kind of 'guilty until proven innocent' adjacent scenario. I'm so confused and maybe I'm missing something but it sure FEELS like the 1st amendment is optional?
I assume they could also therefore remove books based on the race of the characters in the books or because of the subject matter being of particular relavance to people of colour? But I assume that's happened before and been tested legally and that's the process that's happening now with the LGBTQIA+ book bans? Is it simply that the LGBTQIA+ community isn't yet as robust in their advocacy, lobbying & litigation as they need to be? That they don't have the equivalent of the NAACP on their side? Should they have to? Isn't the 1st ammendment and anti-descrimination law pretty clear?
As someone living outside the USA, I have struggled to understand what's going on there and why it's allowed to happen when the 1st ammendment exists expressly to stop the government from suppressing speech, the restriction of which can be damaging to vulnerable communites. Take the story of Roy and Silo, about a same sex couple (of penguins for goodness sake?!) raising a child together. This being banned sends a message to children of same sex parents that there is something wrong with their parents / family unit. I find that disturbing enough, but to the child, it could be traumatizing. How would parents explain to their child that their favourite book has been removed from their library purely because the subject of the story is a family just like theirs?!
Most concerts I've been to that have required travel outside of my home city have been 1000km away and I always fly. This has probably been about 10 times all up, 4 of which were festivals with multiple bands I wanted to see. I have yet to travel to another country for a concert but for a very few specific bands that's not out of the question. There's probably only a couple of bands that haven't toured here yet that would actually be that tempting.
Not just you. I have never in all my decades cycling this earth, heard the terms cager or cage to mean car driver or car?! The headline made feck all sense to me on first read.

People be voting like they're in a ranked choice or proportional representation system & not in a 2 party FPTP system?! Those that previously voted Dems can't just be voting for a 3rd party and not realise that they're effectively handing the win to Trump!? Maaaybe do a 'protest' or 'teach a lesson' at some time when there's NOT a wannabe dictator leading the other party?! Just a thought…
