I don't know what to tell y'all, there's a nonzero (and surprisingly large) chunk of the population that thinks Alien Ant Farm wrote it
That may be the case but I don't think it's anywhere near enough to say it is "arguably more famous". Like I would imagine that for every person who thinks Alien Ant Farm wrote it, there as several more who have no idea Alien Ant Farm covered it.

Like it's one of the biggest songs from the biggest pop star of all time.

I really wonder what her specific game is. She's not in some at risk district from what I recall so why is she trying to moderate her image?
Because she is trying to position herself as a post-Trump leader of the Republican party.

Like as much as people talk about Trump running again in 2028, and I do believe Trump wants to do just that, odds are it isn't going to happen. Like even in the off chance he can successfully erode the government enough to make it happen, he's an old, obese man in an extremely stressful position. He can literally just die at any point in the next couple of years.

MAGA is ultimately a cult of personality and with Trump out of the picture, party leadership is going to be up for grabs. And Greene is banking on Trump's presidency being extremely unpopular by the time his term is up. So right now she is jockying to be the most notable "anti-Trump" Republican. So that when the leadership vacuum hits she can be like "look at all these deeply unpopular things Trump did that I opposed. It's time to return to common sense conservatism."

The risk is obviously that Trump does successfully become the 2028 candidate or that the MAGA movement stays the ruling force of the GOP even without Trump holding it together. But even then from the sounds of it, she's already on the outs with MAGA so she doesn't have a ton to lose. As you mentioned, her seat is very safe.

Yeah, uh, I dont know that giving a buncha dudes packages shuts down the gooner allegations.

Its weird. Like Luna Snow in her entirety is just dreadful.
Now if you want to argue that Luna's designs are bad fashion, you won't get much push back from me, but as a gooner character, I just don't see it. Sure she has a swimsuit skin but it's easily the most conservative of the swimsuit skins. But even then, the swimsuits are mostly just swimsuits.

But the rest of her skins are hardly overly revealing or goonery.

I thought about that as a possibility, but from a game design perspective it feels like it would be a terrible idea to create a character whose Powers aren't activated unless you physically touch one of your opponents' backline characters. It would make you functionally useless for a huge chunk of your play time, especially if that resets on death.
The assumption is that you could use it on your teammates.

Mind you, I very much doubt they go this way because it would be a nightmare to balance. Either it would be dummy busted or useless, I see little middle ground.

She can use the powers she absorbs, so I'd assume either the in-universe lore will be that she drained a healer into a coma the way she did Capt Marvel, or she'll have some sort of energy management gimmick where you need to touch opponents to build up energy to use a healing power.
The most interesting theory I heard is that all of her keybinds are Touch and when used on someone, it takes that characters corresponding keybind. So in that case Rouge could just take your team's other healer's primary fire and function as a healer.

Rogue's powers could make for an interesting moveset
Rumors are she'll be a strategist, which doesn't necessarily mean healer, but effective does mean healer if she wants to get much play, as team comps without two strong healers is significantly handicapped.

I have no idea how you turn Rogue's powerset into a heal-focused one.

A grocery DoorDash mistakenly got delivered to my place and couple months back. It had milk, Oreos and Animal Crackers.

After giving it a few hours to see if anyone would claim it, I ate it all. I'm sorry, Melissa, I'm sure you needed those DoorDashed milk and cookies, but they are mine now.

Trump is worse in the sense he is a real life threat to the world.

So the truth is an absolute defense against defamation and he has already released a video where he basically admitted to doing all the thing Emiru said he did. And he's a public figure which means it's even harder to prove defamation.

Either he has one hell of a trump card yet to reveal or, more likely, he's completely and totally about to get fucked.

If he would have just supported his brother, Jimmy would have turned out much different. Chuck was a piece of shit.
Yeah, I don't buy that. Jimmy was extremely scrappy. Despite Chuck's consistent machinations, he still managed to professionally climb. He never had an issue getting to where he needed to go.

But he could never shake the Slippin' Jimmy instincts. Once he achieved what he wanted he still needed to cheat and abuse the system. He self-sabotaged a lot of his accomplishments. Chuck didn't cause that.

Does anyone believe the old wives tale that using hairspray and or hair gel might contribute to hair thinning? Or just stems from it being more noticeable?
It doesn't cause hair loss but if you are already losing hair, excessive handling of your hair might cause the already loosening hair to fall out. Same thing happens if you wash your hair too aggressively. You can still use hair product, you just gotta be gentle with it.

I thought of another one.

Cyclops' inability to control his power isn't an inherent thing. If Rogue took it, she'd be able to turn them on and off. The reason he can't do it is because he was in a plane crash as a kid and suffered brain damage.
At this point Cyclops purposefully keeps his powers broken. He has had plenty of opportunities to do so, especially with the Resurrection Protocol, he just doesnt actually want them fixed.

Obliviously the real reason is that the visor and lack of control are iconic aspects of his character.

I wish Umbreon was more useful in the modern era.
Defensive Pokmon in general will always have a rough in-game feel because there just isn't a need for walling, pivoting and stalling. The games aren't that hard. So instead you get Pokmon that end up doing mediocre damage but can take a hit feeling much worse than Pokmon who are just one-shotting things and don't give a shit about defense because they are one-shooting things.

It's honestly hard to say from the view we are given in the show.

He clearly has an untreated mental health issue and he goes through some incredibly underhanded moves to obstruct Jimmy's law career. And it certainly feels like he is a bad person because we are watching the show from Jimmy's perspective as his brother and caretaker.

But like he was 100% correct about Jimmy, an undoubtedly awful person who continually take unethical short cuts and has no real moral compass.

Flygon. Like it certainly isn't bad but for a three stage Pokmon with a high evolution level it is kinda underwhelming. Especially since Trapinch is a fairly awkward to use Pokmon.

Too hard.

A game that is easy can be boring, but difficulty is only a single aspect of a game and the other attributes (story, writing, visuals, etc) can keep it engaging.

A game that is too hard risks the chance of you bouncing off of it entirely. It might have incredible other aspects to it, but it won't matter because you'll never get to experience them.

The Witcher 3 is a good example of this. It is not a particularly difficult game, even it's harder difficulties skirt more towards tedious than mechanically demanding, but it just knocks everything else out of the park. The gameplay might not challenge you but you don't care because you want to play for everything else.

Blue states: "We hereby sue you."
Trump: "That's nice."
The point here isn't to force win, but to help explicitly point out that the suspension of SNAP was caused by the GOP.

There is a lot of noise about who should be blamed for the shut down and everything resulting from it. This lawsuit is a counter for when the GOP tries to push that the Democrat government shut down is cutting SNAP. The Dems can then go, "we sued to explicitly stop SNAP from being suspended, this is 100% the Republicans fault."

If a cat is eliminating outside of the liter box it typically means one of several things

1) Their litter box is too dirty for them to use. Solution, clean the litter box more frequently
2) They don't have enough litter boxes. The general rule is number of cats+1. Placed in reasonably quiet places they can feel comfortable using.
3) They are stressed, have medical issues or are being abused.

If it's the first two that is actually 100% on your parents. That is basic care and it is their responsibility.

But I can't rule out that your openly negative behavior to the cats isn't triggering number 3.

i didnt use anecdotes at all, i made an analogy. This has nothing to do with maga, but you can keep saying that if you like. You cant even explain HOW a gentle water spray is abuse, because it isnt.
This might come as a shock to you but cats aren't humans.

They have considerably more developed tactile and olfactory sensors, so what feels like harmless sprays of water to you, doesn't feel like that to them. They also have very different and much less intelligent brains. You are able to interpret why you are being sprayed with water, you put yourself into a situation where you expected to be sprayed with water. The cat did not. It thinks it assaulted by water for no reason. That has a negative psychological impact on the cat. And it isn't going to cause and effect it. It's not going to associate laying down on the stairs with getting sprayed it is going to associate the giant asshole with the spray bottle as the bad guy who sprays it for no reason.

This wouldnt be happening if people had empathy for me. I have to solve my problem when others wont, and say stupid shit like move out. Its not animal abuse and insisting it is reveals you as a troll. Its fuckin wter. I guess barbershops are abusive too. And showers
I guess most vets and animal behavior experts are trolls to because that is the recognized consensus and the fact that you are so flippant to that point just makes you look more like an unempathetic jersey.

It is totally fine to not like animals. I personally don't like dogs myself, but if I'm stayingwith someone on their dime and/or goodwill, I put up with the dog. I might be annoyed but that's life. Sometimes you get annoyed and you just deal with it.

Im an adult that hates animals. I didnt ask for this. People cant move just cuz they feel like it. You are delusional and forcing problems on to innocent people
Fun fact: When you don't own your own space, then sometimes you have to put up with discomfort.

It's unfortunate you can't move out for whatever reason. But should your parent just not get to own pets that they want because their adult child who hasn't moved out doesn't want them? Is that fair to them?

Like do you at least pay rent? If you were actually paying for your space I'd be more sympathetic to your plight as you would at least have an argument that your rent entitles you to a certain living arrangement.

Like when you described the cats being your problem, I assumed your parents were like neglecting them and you were having to feed them and change their litter box but no, these cats are simply existing and it's pissing you off to the point where you are using punishment tactics that are proven to be ineffective and just encourage negative behavior.

You are a grown-ass adult living with your parents, which is totally okay, but like they are allowed to have pets so stop being an absolute baby about it. You don't like animals, that's fine but if you want an actual animal-free living space then move out.

I can agree to the central premise they gave for Dexit. That the size of the roster made it untenable to maintain while simultaneously allowing Game Freak to create a quality game. That is totally unstandable.

The problem is that they never actually fulfilled the second half of that premise. Like even if you like the post-Dexit games, I think you can agree they are a long way from quality and certainly not any notable step up from the pre-Dexit games. They are generally ugly, poorly optimized and frequently just not finished. And if that is the case then what did Dexit it give us? I suppose you could argue that without Dexit, the games would be even worse, which is probably true, but at that point I think issues are far more significant than roster size.

Maybe they think they can sell more lootboxes now that players have a reasonable way to get the skins they want? I cant imagine there were more than two people out there willing to pay a million for a fucking skin lmao
No. It's because the CSGO skin gambling/investment market was starting to bring some pretty negative heat to Valve as it looked like they were enabling gambling aimed, at least in part, teenagers.

Valve doing this undercuts that whole market and gets some heat off their back while maintaining decent monetization on the skins.

The first one literally felt like it ran out of budget. Like the first planet was great and I was excited when I completed it and got ready to go to the next only for the subsequent planets to have what felt like increasingly thinner substance.

Like I know it was a budget game, but I kinda figured they would portion out the budget over the whole game. Instead it felt like they used it all on one planet.

Star Wars is set "a long time ago". It could be in the 16th century.
While I'm not arguing that the Star Wars guys thematically fit into the franchise, they don't, Soulcalibur does play pretty fast and loose with its era to begin with. Like why are the Alexandra sisters and Aeon styled like they are ancient Greek and worshipping Greek gods in the 16th century? Like Athens was fully in control of the Ottoman Empire at that point and its temples converted to mosques.

Honestly, Soulcalibur has generally done decent in getting guest characters that largely don't feel out of place in the setting. Really only the Star Wars guys and 2B feel like they don't fit at all.

I do with 2B had at least one weapon option that didn't look sci-fi for create-a-soul purposes. Like floating magic weapons wouldn't feel too weird and you could replace the bot with some sort of crystal/rune thing that shot magic. But nope all weapons are really sci-fi looking.
