Jesus fucking Christ. How long has Coppertone been around?!

our overly bloated bureaucracy of a government is way overdue for…

I know they can’t hear me and probably would find an excuse, but:

Ok Mr Quotee, but can you tell me exactly what is bloated about it? I need specifics because you are obviously in the know. Also, are you using, or have you used, any of that stated bloat in any capacity? I’d also love to know your definition of bloat and then re-ask you when looking at budget deficits before and after.

I would argue that one can still hate immigrants and also realize that they bring value. Doesn’t Trump employ immigrants at Mar A Lago? They want some here, but they would prefer they speak English because they refuse to learn any other languages. You save money not printing songs in other languages or hiring interpreters, etc.

They would be happy to educate immigrants just enough to ingrain them into our system for labor, but it’s easier if they speak English because it’s quicker education and less money.

How are you withholding that much without wage garnishment happening?

They want them already speaking it before they get here. They don’t want to spend the money to educate people outside of the bare minimum of what’s required to make Amerikkka run.

One of my classes I am currently taking for my grad program to get my master’s in elementary education will probably be discussing this.

No, Cartman, you’re not wrong here.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Interesting. I never thought of that before. Thanks!

I sign this as well. It’s literally a character difference and there is no ambiguity at all. There is no downside.

Holy shit! I was dying of laughter when they are just randomly falling down, when the ref randomly grabbed those two like little kids to keep them from running off, and then ones being carried out on a stretcher.

The X-Wing book series was so good to me! I need to reread it as an adult and see if I still feel the same, but there was a ton of relationship building, more on characters like Wedge and Tycho and how they were important to the rebellion and new republic, and the descriptions of the star fighter battles were really good.

 

I used to see him all over the place and now nothing. I checked his post history and it’s been 24 days since he last posted anything.

I don’t know the guy or have any personal stake, but seeing someone everywhere just suddenly disappear is odd.

 

As a kid I hated veggies but as I got older I really enjoy some veggies, especially broccoli, roasted in a drizzle of olive oil and a little seasoning.

As an American, I also used to abhor vegemite when I tried it until I learned how to properly spread it on toast during my visit over there and I’m obsessed now!

What did you hate, but gave a second chance to? I’d love to try some new stuff!

 

Hello, I’ve never traveled internationally post smart phone world but I have Verizon and I added the month international plan so I can use my phone over in Australia.

I got the instructions back and it seems that I just need to turn roaming on and that’s it? I don’t need to activate a different eSIM or anything? Does anyone have experience with this on Verizon? It seems too easy and I’m worried I’ve missed something somewhere.

 

Big fan of Matt Colville. I own Flee, Mortals the book and the PDF. I use the pdf in my games, but having everything in dndbeyond is also amazing. I think I’ll purchase it again and get Where Evil Lives too.

I’m stoked about all of the 3rd party content getting added such as Kobold Press. It’s making this digital stuff very worth it!

What does everyone else use and/or recommend?

Anyone watch it yet? I am still processing it. I don’t know if I liked it or not.

Thoughts and spoilers hereI was expecting more closure

  • Zillo beast was just in this whole series as a plot point to allow Omega to escape?
  • Rex and his crew had no resolution
  • Time jump with Omega in the Rebellion and literally no mention of her anywhere else?
  • What happened to Cody?
  • Why was Scorch done so dirty as a glorified name drop, he would’ve been covering their rear to make sure no one snuck up on them
  • Nothing about any of Tantiss’s other potential secrets
  • The clones didn’t have resolution. They’re just scattered across Pabu and Pantora?
  • The brain washed/mind controlled clones were cool but ultimately useless and easily defeated after spending all previous encounters handing everyone’s asses to them
  • Bunch of force sensitive kids out now to be discovered by Luke? Hunted by Vader?
  • Assaj was just there to tell us Omega was force sensitive? They could’ve used anyone to reveal this
  • Will Omega show up in Skeleton Crew or the crossover movie/show?

 

Hey all, please direct me to any community that would better serve me for this question and I will gladly delete here and move it there.

My conundrum: I have an old dining room table that is 30” high, 71” long, and 37.5” wide. It’s in my basement and sits against the wall when not in use and can be pulled out for room to sit on all sides.

I have 5 adult players and am adding a 6th to our table. It’s fine except for needing room for snacks and player accessories (sheets, dice, dice trays, etc).

I thought about getting a larger table that is foldable.

My other thought is what kind of accessories could I get that would help them be able to place things on the table but also leave room for my mat and miniatures? Is there anything that I could clamp on? Are there stands?

What options do I have? Money isn’t an object here, but I don’t want to have to break the bank if there are other options that I could do cheaper.
