I never get a good answer regarding why they think a government should be ran like a business. They don’t fill the same niches, and the Constitution clearly lays out the role of government:

…form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…

Nothing about consolidating profits into the hands of a few, nothing about profits at all, actually. Nothing about buying/manufacturing and selling goods or services

And why do they always trot out the worst possible examples of businessmen as who they want to run said imaginary corpocountry (Trump is self explanatory, but Romney’s entire ethos was buying companies and bankrupting them)?

Guild Wars 2

Maybe like 5-10 mins of Grim Dawn here and there

In the tabletop space, my group is recording season 3 of our podcast and this season we are playing Mausritter, and it’s a blast

This is pretty much the only video game I play like I’ll hop on Arkham Knight or Grim Dawn or literally anything else for maybe 30 mins and I’m like… Nah Mechanist go BRRRRRRT

Wife and I both are currently finishing SotO storyline, already did Janthir so I guess we’ll try and get sky scale after the story

2300+ hrs since pre launch and I literally haven’t done half of what the game has to offer

Bruh the shit going on in Ohio this election cycle where LaRose has reworded (see also the abortion amendment where his “summary” was longer than the actual text of the amendment) the ballot to obfuscate the actual intent of Issue 1 to make people vote No which helps consolidate the Republicans grip

It’s ridiculous. My wife is relatively intelligent and she doesn’t understand the wording on the ballot and I explained to her that despite the reading, a No vote will continue the status quo. Like I’m a free speech kind of guy but just put the damn text on the damn ballot like don’t bullshit us Frankie!

Fuckin schmucks

I’m… Mixed on this. I feel like what Dungeon World (1e now?) has going for it, and what has extended its longevity, is the community around it that has contributed so much due to the open nature of the product. Will this be just as open?

Plus, Chasing Adventure fills that really cool niche of a 2e. So does Stonetop. How will this improve on either of those?

Actually yes lol I do DDP Yoga

Usually less than 100g a day for protein. I stay as far away from oxalates as possible I would be surprised if I have 10mg/day. I know 40mg/day is considered low oxalate.

I have gotten kidney stones frequently since 2006

Cut out tea, nuts, potatoes, chocolate, whole grains, carrots, spinach, and everything else. Keep my sodium around 1500mg/day

I still form them prolifically

I had a 2cm stone back in March that they tried blasting and ended up getting chunks of the stone stuck between the stent and the wall of my ureter. After keeping the stent in for 3 months my urologist gave up and another one picked me up. When he went in to laser the stones, he had to laser chunks that had adhered to the stent before he could get it out

They shockwaved my other side last month and got the newer stent out and had my follow up today and there’s two more little ones on the left side already forming up

Next step is an endocrinologist
