The optimist says we are living in the best of all possible worlds.

The pessimist fears that the optimist is right.

Be the Punisher.

Want to make cool skull logo out of burning cars.

Can't really see the parking lot from above.

Just sort of pace out the outlines with gasoline, hope you get the proportions right.

Comes out like this:

Comparing the attacks and India's response to 9/11 is apt because America's response led to America wasting billions if not trillions of dollars fighting a series of wars that had the primary effect of making people hate us even more than they did before, and also led our national politics down an ever stupider road than we were on before and let us directly to the point where we have our own tinpot dictator.

If history should teach us anything, it's that America's response to 9/11 is the absolute opposite of what one should do when attacked, if one wants to have a better long-term outcome.

Goddamn triangle grid downtown!

Me: "Oops, I went the wrong way! I'll just take two rights and be going back the way I came!"

Pittsburgh: "The fuck you will!"

Great city, though, once I let go of my preconceived notions of how navigation works.

Han Solo never even met that guy! He was Lando's friend!

Horizon Zero Dawn would have been awesome with a nemesis system, especially if it was applied to the robo-dinosaurs. You could have the in-universe justification that a particular robot uploads its consciousness upon death and downloads into a new body, and now it remembers how you killed it before and it will adapt accordingly. Start having epic robots that know you, and you have to keep an eye out for them, but also upon being destroyed they could dispense better scraps.

If it's every weekend at the same time, then anyone who works on that weekend day will never be able to go to any protest, whereas the people who can will find themselves expected to always be the ones at the protest. A schedule that moves around a little gives people a chance to take turns protesting when they are able.

If it's going to have some kind of inventory system... figure out a way to prevent players from hoarding high-value items until the end of the game, at which point they are either meaningless because you're so leveled up, or else you can trivially defeat the final boss by spamming all the holy hand grenades you've been socking away.

Pope Joan was quizzical...

 

No bourbon or anything, just spicy ginger ale and sour cherry.

Brands blacked out so as to not be promoting products.

 
 

A quick search suggests that the average American uses about 1.3 pounds of honey per year. If I'm 40 years old, and guess that I might live to be 80, that's only 52 pounds of honey, which I could easily buy in bulk. Honey doesn't expire, and even assuming the price doesn't skyrocket from bee die-offs, inflation alone will make the price go up over time.

Does it make sense to buy all the rest of the honey I'll ever need for the rest of my life, right now?
