Stop the presses: Trump is a narcissist!

And no, it doesn’t directly deal with Trump being anti-trans, but it definitely does deal with understanding and acceptance of fluid gender identity, and clearly promotes acceptance.

The overarching politics of the show (so far) seem to land pretty clearly left of center, with Roseanne herself being portrayed as stubborn and even potentially wrong-headed in her views. It was a strikingly true portrayal of generation gap political differences in families, and did not in any way pick sides. This is

Exactly. The overarching politics of the show (so far) seem to land pretty clearly left of center, with Roseanne herself being played up as stubborn and even potentially wrong-headed in her views. It was a strikingly true portrayal of generation gap political differences in families, and did not in any way pick sides.

The show is in no way pro-Trump. If anything, it makes fun of the culture shift and the age gap between the progressive younger generation and the often conservative older generations. The second episode is actually pretty explicitly pro-LGBTQ in its embrace of their gender non-conforming grandson. It’s just not at

Yes, in the same way that Mel Brooks’ dictator caricature was. Context matters.

I think this is easily the best of these classic sitcom revivals. There are a lot of bitter people that can’t separate the politics from the fact that this show pretty much exactly captures the tone of the original run of the show. It’s great so far.

Deschutes is just the tip of the iceberg here, friend. ;) They do have fantastic pub-exclusives though.

Just don’t expect to be able to buy property here unless you’re an absurdly wealthy California retiree... ;)

It is a fun place to live though.

Can’t it be both?

Hahaha...I was just coming here to say this. Talk about understatement!

You seem to like this game in literally the exact opposite ways that I did. You loved the war table stuff; I hated that. You hated Sera; I thought she was one of the best characters.

We do share a loathing of Solas though, so at least there’s that.

I agree with all of your positions save one—free college tuition. I am a higher ed professor, and I can all but guarantee you that mandated free tuition would be nothing but a massive funding cut to colleges and universities across the country, and would more or less guarantee worse higher ed outcomes across the board.

Pro gun control guy here. This is what compromise looks like. We should applaud it as it’s the only way real change can happen.

I rented it once or twice but actually mostly played single-player games (Zelda, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil, etc.) The main competitive multiplayer game I played regularly was Mario Kart.

It may be comfortable, but I seriously think that the Gamecube controllers were the flimsiest controllers of any system I’ve ever owned. I’ve been a gamer all my life, and the only console where I consistently wore out controllers was the Gamecube. I went through something like 6 controllers across that system’s life

I definitely would also say that. :)

At this point, I think it’s safe to say that No Man’s Sky fans are easily impressed.

You almost have to LIKE Trump on this one...almost.

Vapes are still carcinogenic. Not as much as burning a cigarette, true, but to suggest that they are a “healthy alternative” that doesn’t release carcinogens is wishful thinking at best.
