Ocarina of Time. I tested it out some time ago. I'm sure any game with time travel is going to have this as a weakness, but it's just so clunky. The story feels like a weird living childhood daydream sprinkled with what many accuse of being political undertones, and while I technically don't mind the graphics, those particular ones are weird as a glasses-wearer who is using them to fight.

All of this was especially the case during the level where you're inside Jabu-Jabu, which is the whole reason I ever played the game in the first place, as I had to help my friend through the level because of both the headache-inducing squiggly lines (which go with the graphics like a 60-watt bulb goes with a 180-watt lamp and prevented my other friend from helping, he gets vertigo despite his age) and because the parts right before and right after Jabu-Jabu set off her submersion phobia since you're in the country of Ruto. Sometimes the game seemed to know how to crossover into the style of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, which is a neutral statement.

Lucky you, it's been hot for us in the snow belt. Another reason I'd trade places with someone.

That's not "his" evil plan (which doesn't even include the president for life part, that was wishful thinking out loud), and the part about jailing opponents is mainly related to those who exploited due process in the political sphere in the past eight years. Which, although Trump is not himself innocent, many, many people did, both for one side and the other (think the Biden family trials, which any normal person would see as parallel to the Trump trials), but with this kind of thing never going anywhere, even for state governors.

As for the rest, are we really going to hold someone accountable just because of their toxic fandom? That's the mistake many are trying not to make with all the involved sides. I for one criticize presidents by, I don't know, their policies and broken promises (e.g. Trump's military inclusion protocol).

First thing that comes to mind are my glasses I'm wearing right now. Might as well start with the thing on my already awkwardly roastable face.

All the more reason to vote third party. The two in power can both be described this way. But nobody wants to reflect on this.

Maybe it's my hair that attracts them then.

Well shoot, I always was taught wasps were the ones I should be worried about health-wise. Seeing this to be wrong, now I'm having thoughts.

And we know for sure Project 2025 actually speaks for the president? As much as it sounds like an agenda book for QAnon and white supremacy, Trump himself has spoken against this side of extremism (whether or not he himself can be classified as bypassing checks/courtesy). That is not to say I support Trump (I don't), but people are turning it into a game of Chicken Little, especially with an immunity ruling that didn't change anything.

If we wanted to get technical, we could technically say that a candidate promising to be peaceful becoming authoritarian while in power is a violation of campaign promises. But... who here actually punishes lying about your goals while president? Who points a finger at presidents who went against their word and says "we voted for a president who would address the envionmental/right problem, and that's not you"? Nobody. For two and a half hundred years, nobody thought to put that in place? The American people cleared out a direct path to tyranny, and now everyone is blaming everyone else.

I've been paying attention from both ends (unless there are more than two ends). All of what you described have been reactions, not the actions themselves, though I never heard of any hit lists.

There isn't exactly a single candidate in the past ten years I would've called competent. In 2016, every last person running was out of touch, the only thing that enormously benefitted were the memes. Which is why I often mention my biggest qualm with Democrats, that in 2016 they wanted votes so badly they shunned third party voting as "throwing away your vote". Uhm, no, throwing away your vote is what we're doing right now. If the system wasn't simply a monarchy with two choices and if people voted honestly, this is a situation we wouldn't even be thinking about. I feel sorry for nobody.

Less family illnesses and more people to get along with.

How do they defend a hive if not for the ability to sting?

It's definitely hard to miss all the people where I live pulling out of driveways in dresses and people taking pictures across all the public areas, it really lets you know it's prom time.

What's your experience with prom (or multiple proms if you went to others too)? How did everyone look? How was it celebrated? Was it good?

When I was little, TV shows and movies apparently liked to make their production logos creepy. That logo that appeared either in the beginning of a VHS tape or DVD or in the end was enough to get some of us to not sneak out of our rooms at night and watch our favorite shows/movies. And as I grew older, I'd be confirmed of the fact I wasn't the only person caught off-guard, as there is a whole genre of discussion around it. Which one would strike the scariest vibes in you?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it's always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the Mayans.

This seems to be something people don't always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that's the case, change the setting and that changes too. In the places where I've lived, people often needed that mapped out. Where are they known in your rural locales?

It's Autumn in the Southern hemisphere (Spring time in the Northern hemisphere), and I get fascinated by a lamp post near me that some birds have been using as a hand-me-down for a decade now.
