Topic | Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar declared the new President |
ElatedVenusaur 08/15/21 4:46:01 PM #73 | It was always obvious that the government we created was both extremely incompetent and extremely corrupt. We taught a bunch of men to fight for it, but why would you lay down your life for some venal piece of crap who was always going to flee with as much Afghani money he could as soon as things went bad? We, instead, launched brutal drone strikes which regularly killed civilians in droves and propped up corrupt, brutal warlords and a government engaged in sex trafficking and are shocked nobody wants to die to preserve it. --- She/her |
Topic | I stopped playing DK64 because i cant beat the donkey kong arcade things |
ElatedVenusaur 08/14/21 4:46:19 PM #3 | Yeah, I remember trying Donkey Kong dozens of times before finally succeeding. --- She/her |
Topic | It's kinda weird that the people in FF7 are cool with (spoiler) |
ElatedVenusaur 08/14/21 2:49:47 PM #10 | eston posted... There doesn't seem to be any actual law and order in FFVII's world tbqhYeah, the only places that seems to have coherent governance are either being run by Shinra or are Wutai. Everything else is either some hamlet too small to bother with or a private fiefdom. --- She/her |
Topic | Elliot Paige shows off his body on Instagram :O |
ElatedVenusaur 08/14/21 2:47:19 PM #5 | SSJ2GrimReaper posted... looks like every jrpg protagonistI dont know, his hair is a little short for that. --- She/her |
Topic | Is Sephiroth overrated as a villain? *FFVII & FFVII Remake spoilers* |
ElatedVenusaur 08/12/21 10:27:11 PM #14 | Hes pretty cool within FFVII: hes this total badass who goes insane, murders a ton of randos, murders Aeris, and --- She/her |
Topic | Is there anything to do in Bridgeport, CT? |
ElatedVenusaur 08/12/21 10:17:37 PM #4 | If youre driving, just be sure to avoid rush hour like the plague, or youll spend a disgusting amount of time crawling down I-95. The general area has any kind of dining you would want: Fairfield is close by(south via 95 i.e. the opposite direction as New Haven) and super bougie, for better and worse. New Haven is chock full of restaurants, as is Bridgeport(to a lesser extent) and the towns between them all. New Haven is particularly famous for pizza: the most famous place is Pepes, but Modern also commands a large following. And indie pizza of great quality can be found throughout the region. --- She/her |

Topic | Is there anything to do in Bridgeport, CT? |
ElatedVenusaur 08/12/21 2:02:22 PM #2 | Bridgeport is pretty sad, unfortunately. Its a desperately poor and long-neglected city. New Haven is nearby and a lot livelier though. You could take the train or bus there, or even rent a car and brave I-95 Silver Sands in Milford(two towns over towards New Haven) is a pretty nice beach connected with another nice beach via boardwalk(Walnut) that is surrounded by little shops. And, if you like breweries, Brewport in Bridgeport and Two Roads in Stratford(one town over) are pretty good places. --- She/her |
Topic | Nobody is talking about Afghanistan? |
ElatedVenusaur 08/12/21 12:31:05 PM #52 | For better and for worse, we have succeeded in winning hearts and minds. For the Taliban. Theyll probably be stronger when we leave than they ever were. It is because we and the Afghan government we created have fundamentally failed at every turn. --- She/her |
Topic | Yoo, what's good, Hairistotle update AGAIN (pics obv) |
ElatedVenusaur 08/12/21 1:10:05 AM #22 | Glad to see you back! Got my estradiol upped 2 weeks ago and itscongesting me. Like, my nose, which is apparently an actual potential side effect. Which is weird and annoying, but as I told my trans friend, estradiol will continue at current levels until morale improves! Youre looking good. And youre still practically at the beginning. --- She/her |
Topic | What is the SMT on Switch like? |
ElatedVenusaur 08/11/21 7:53:25 PM #9 | SMT has no social element. Nocturne isnt far removed from the series origins as a dungeon crawler, but its stylish and well-presented. The story is scant, but pretty good. And dark, of course. And its a good challenge, of course. Never played Persona, but I imagine the battle systems are similar. --- She/her |
Topic | Great Green New Deal. Senate passes $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending bill |
ElatedVenusaur 08/11/21 1:51:46 PM #80 | https://twitter.com/heatherscope/status/1425491680833179658 Straight from the Speaker's mouth now. To be clear, this is exactly what she said she would do all along, the House Progressive Caucus is both backing her up on it and reminding her they can shut this down if they want. --- She/her |
Topic | Great Green New Deal. Senate passes $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending bill |
ElatedVenusaur 08/10/21 11:26:13 PM #67 | https://twitter.com/USProgressives/status/1425131542783963137 48+ votes is way more than enough for the House Progressive Caucus to kill the bi-partisan infrastructure bill. --- She/her |
Topic | So Rick is (SPOILERS)? |
ElatedVenusaur 08/10/21 10:16:39 PM #16 | theAteam posted... He bangs anything and everything.Yeah, he banged a female-presenting hive mind at least twice. Justadding it to the list. Rick is always down to have sex; however with whoever. --- She/her |
Topic | Biden says Andrew Cuomo has done a 'hell of a job' as governor |
ElatedVenusaur 08/10/21 6:11:14 PM #19 | He served New Yorks elite very well, so its little wonder Biden is a fan. --- She/her |
Topic | Great Green New Deal. Senate passes $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending bill |
ElatedVenusaur 08/10/21 1:48:18 PM #12 | BLAKUboy posted... The likelihood of even getting the bill past reconciliation is well in the negatives so long as Manchin/Sinema are the deciding votes.Then their precious bipartisan trash pile can go to hell. --- She/her |
Topic | Andrew Cuomo is resigning |
ElatedVenusaur 08/10/21 1:11:00 PM #49 | Long overdue. He was a terrible governor and an even worse person. --- She/her |
Topic | Great Green New Deal. Senate passes $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending bill |
ElatedVenusaur 08/10/21 1:09:20 PM #4 | ImAMarvel posted... Isn't this incredibly watered down from what was originally proposed?Yeah, and only half of it is new spending: the rest is just re-allocating money from other purposes. Weak ass bill, and the House shouldnt touch it until the Senate passes the $3.5 trillion reconciliation proposal. I mean, the two combined are still far less than necessary, but --- She/her |
Topic | Biden Ramps Up Pressure on Cuba, Abandoning Obama's Approach |
ElatedVenusaur 08/10/21 10:07:38 AM #7 | I am sure brutalizing the Cuban people in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic will endear them to us! That's how it works right, they won't just blame us for all of this, right? ....right? --- She/her |
Topic | Is your job requiring masks again? |
ElatedVenusaur 08/09/21 5:49:29 PM #26 | Yeah, Whole Foods is now requiring team members to wear masks again. I never stopped. I wouldn't trust these customers further than I could throw them. --- She/her |

Topic | What was the first Fire Emblem game you played, CE? |
ElatedVenusaur 08/08/21 4:30:28 PM #13 | I started with Blazing Sword. I had already cut my teeth on Ogre Battle 64, so I was eager to get my hands on another SRPG. IMO, Blazing Sword, Path of Radiance, and Three Houses --- She/her |
Topic | Taliban gain more control in Afghanistan. Governmnet buildings occupied. |
ElatedVenusaur 08/08/21 10:04:01 AM #20 | Zikten posted... We should have committed to a permanent presence. Or at least an ongoing one until maybe someday things calmed down.How many decades are we supposed to stay? 3? 4? 10? Our very presence and military operations have served to delegitimize the If it makes you feel better, Afghanistan will be unified after we leave. --- She/her |
Topic | Is Rhyperior the most pointless Pokemon evolution? |
ElatedVenusaur 08/07/21 6:21:19 PM #3 | Yeah, Rhyperior was a serious miss. Even Lickilicky and Probopass have pretty significant buffs Ambipom is okay and Weavile and Yanmega are great. --- She/her |
Topic | It is pretty weird how the Bible portrays God in a really negative light |
ElatedVenusaur 08/07/21 3:09:27 PM #27 | MushroomMuncher posted... No no, that's different. That's giving a motive of why the person did the thing. I'm pretty sure Noah's Ark story gave God a motive to flood the earth. The thing that would be similar to what i'm talking about is "Why did the person just not murder the other person"The apocypha talks about how much of humanity at that time were the descendants of Cain Just...pointing out how crazy it is. --- She/her |
