I read that while denazification largely failed, the cold war got going and Germany realized they needed to pass pro-Democracy policies to garner aid from the rest of the free world. The next generation of Germans largely turned away from nazism and here we are today.

Someone similar happened in Taiwan. The KMT under Chiang Kai-shek weren’t really pro-Democracy either, but they knew they had to steer policy in that direction to win international support.

Where’s Mom??

That was one of the Superbowls I’ve ever seen

Does anyone have a link to the skit where cops were called on a guy hauling his dead dad in a wheelbarrow through the neighborhood?

Went something like -

Cop: We got calls of a body being hauled through the neighborhood in a wheelbarrow.

Guy: Yup, that’s me.

Cop: Why didn’t you call 911?

Guy: 911 is for emergencies. I woke up and he was already dead. So no emergency.

Cop: Why does that kind of make a ton of sense?

I had no idea it’s real trouper. I’ve been saying real trooper all my life.

Media presence is going to be something I’ll consider when picking a candidate.

Will you answer nature’s call?

Only Congress can grant the name change officially. Hegseth can identify how he wants to.

For the uninitiated, NFP is Natural Family Planning - the practice of avoiding coitus during ovulation as a form of birth control. It’s seen as a natural form of birth control compared to artificial birth control in the form of condoms and the pill.

It’s strange to me that the Catholic Church singles out birth control as needing to be natural, but not much else.

It’s around 75% effective at preventing pregnancies, but doesn’t stop STIs obviously.

Why do we do this to ourselves!? Nothing is ever good enough. Can’t it be enough that we agree with each other? Why are we gate keeping awareness?

I’m suspicious on the donation document. It’s listed as entrepreneur when I’d seen he was in an electrician apprenticeship. Tyler Robinson is a common name, are we sure this is the same Tyler Robinson?

A friend told me a story, in college he was in a dorm going down the elevator and as the doors close he heard a girl on the floor sobbing, “I don’t know why I waited a week to take the morning after pill!”

He gets down to the dorm’s lobby and sees a big buff dude say to his friends, “Yeah I don’t know why the fuck she waited a week to take the morning after pill!”

Everything you wrote is true, and I gotta respect that you’ve at least given mobas a try. It’s not your cup of tea and that’s alright.

One thing that you didn’t mention is the team work. While there are toxic people out there, mobas tend to be games that a group of friends can play together for free. You are correct that the abilities can feel limiting - along that vein finding ways to chain spells together with your team mates was one of the most fun ways to get creative.

This is what makes watching pros play a lot of fun. There are people out there constantly experimenting with mixing items and spells to create hilarious strategies to gain an edge. There are all kinds of spells that can come off as overly subtle and dumb sounding, but you pair it up with something else and all of a sudden you have a wombo combo.

Mobas came out of War Craft 3, so any of the millions of people with a blizzard rts background will have skills that will transfer. The single hero format means you can focus all your attention in one place instead of keeping track of your army and your economy at all times. Starting with an established and automated base means that the game isn’t on a knife’s edge like RTSs. There’s a lot of stability and simplicity here over RTSs.

The games tend to be simple in concept to understand but very difficult to master. I had a lot of fun picking a handful of heroes and learning how to best use them. They all have their own quirks and limitations that may not be obvious at first. Conversely, it was rewarding to learn how to shut down heroes that had stomped me in the past.

It is very difficult to get established in these games. It can feel like one of those tv shows that you have to get to the third season before things get better. And I can completely understand people wanting games that don’t start off as rough. The high skill cap can keep people coming back for years though.

I hope this helps 😊

It keeps the story alive.
