I prefer Rubio. I'd be okay with DeSantis. I don't like JD. But if it is JD who wins the primary, I will still vote for him.
Hopefully (but unlikely) we do have some fresh new politician who's going to fix everything and unite the party.
We need to stop handing Democrats a win everytime Republicans fail us on 20% of the issues.
We have been flip-flopping congress and the presidency like this my entire life.
How "good" has that worked for us so far?
Opinion: We Tried Republican, Then We Tried Democrat, Then We Tried Republican, Then We Tried Democrat, Then We Tried Republican. Is It Time We Try Democrat? https://t.co/EuR5SiETuW
True believers still sin. We are saved by faith in Christ, not by flawless behavior. Our failures do not undo His finished work (Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 8:1).
The Holy Spirit leads us to confess, repent, and grow; even when our failures are serious and our progress is slow (1 John 1:8–9; Galatians 5:16–25).
Struggling with sin is different from refusing to repent. Persistent, unrepentant rebellion calls a claim of faith into question (1 John 2:4).
Genuine faith changes our standing before God and the direction of our lives. It does not make us instantly sinless.
Someone struggling with sin who believes in his or her heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and acknowledges Him as Lord are saved.
It is impossible for someone who:
1. excuses their own sin
2. keeps trying to justify it against the Holy Spirit and other believers
3. Fabricating loopholes in scripture
4. insisting calls to repentance are "judgemental"
to truly believe Jesus is Lord and was raised from the dead.
@AZGrizFan@MisfitPatriot Trump's push for aggressive domestic production aimed to lower energy and gasoline prices for consumers. This lowers prices and increases the likelihood of a smaller company gaining more market share against established companies.
It's all about the money and control for them.
@JL88725339@GuntherEagleman The blue states are going to tie their electorate to the popular vote.
2026 was our last chance and with Kirk taken from us, the dividers found a way to convince enough to stay home.
It only takes 5 minutes on horseback to go from anywhere on the map to somewhere "interesting".
Part of what makes OoT unrewarding is that you don't really have options to just ride on the horse for the sake of riding. Larger maps like RDR2 and BOTW make riding for riding's sake fun.
@NightmareFoxxyy "you’d just find the strongest sword and then never switch off of it for the rest of the game"
Maybe because that's a major mechanism of every Zelda game for the first 30 years of the franchise?
I mean yes and no. We all already know about this now, so removing it didn't steal away the memory of your excitement at finding the secret 28 years ago.
Keeping it in wouldn't have restored that feeling either since you would have already remembered figuring it out.
It makes me feel as though for new gamers that might not realize they enjoy such cryptic challenges., but I think the consensus is they just like to play and have fun and aren't the same kind of gamers who grew up with cryptic and hard challenges.
@GuntherEagleman This entire post rests on the flawed idea that Democrats must have a good candidate to win.
Biden is proof the Democrats don't need anyone fresh, new or unencumbered by what has been.
2 Timothy 3:16–17 on Scripture’s sufficiency and Acts 17:11 the Bereans’ testing of teaching against Scripture. Definitions of “sola scriptura” also vary, many Protestants like myself mean “only Scripture is the INFALLIBLE rule,” not that there is no other teaching authority or that every doctrine must appear in a single explicit verse.
@BCarpenterBooks@MichaelFKane Without Zelda 2, oot would have been far different.
Oot was originally started out in development as a 3D re-imagining of Zelda 2.
They still paid homage to it, hence the names of sages being the names of towns in Zelda 2, which also makes oot a prequel to the first 2 games.
@GoyangiFish@Zelda_Updates Oot remake has the benefit that every asset fits a certain look. You can look at any asset from any angle it it really does just look like a 3D rendering of the art in the manual from 28 years ago.
I think the art style will keep oot remake looking good even 50 years out.
BotW takes place 10k years after its OWN BACKSTORY event, which isn't connected to any known game so far.
So it is very likely we are talking 50k+ years after OoT at the very least.
I wonder if this were a ranch in the same place with the same stone buildings as ancient ruins even before the calamity?
@0xG00gly I find it hilarious that they bothered with shortcuts and warp songs when you can horseback and run from any place in Hyrule to anywhere you want to go in under 2 minutes.
@RolandriE@doogan69@0xG00gly Running and gliding is more fun with plenty of space for it.
There's only so much running and horseback riding across Hyrule in under 2 minutes before it becomes boring.
BOTW allows you the freedom to run, fly, horseback ride, whatever across a diverse landscape.
Hard No on rent control @ScottPresler
Want Gilded Age growth? Start with what voters already support.
1. The Save America Act. Proof of residency and citizenship required for registration. Photo ID required to vote.
2. Term limits. Members of Congress can serve for life. Cap their time in office.
3. Balanced budget amendment. Washington spends more than it takes in every year. Make that unconstitutional.
4. Permitting reform. Federal reviews stall pipelines, power lines, and roads for years. Set hard deadlines.
5. Universal ESAs. School money goes to buildings, not kids. Let it follow the student.
6. Licensing reform. You need a government permit to cut hair or arrange flowers. Drop the ones that protect no one.
7. REINS Act. Agencies write rules that cost billions with no vote. Make Congress approve every major rule.
8. Spending caps. The budget grows faster than the economy. Limit growth and cut before raising taxes.
9. Regulatory sunsets. Old rules never die. Make each one expire unless renewed.
10. Deportations of all criminal aliens. Focus on the violent ones, but not exclusively.
Small government is not fringe. It is popular.
Every Republican legislature in America should immediately pass legislation to:
1) Ban sanctuary cities
2) Ban Ranked Choice Voting
3) Ban ballot harvesting
4) Require citizenship to vote
5) Require photo ID to vote
6) Ban the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact
7) Ban foreign entities from buying property
8) Suspend any gas taxes
9) Institute school choice
10) Abolish property taxes
11) Open non-juror records to public inspection
12) Mandate secretaries of state to share complete voter registration rolls with DOJ
13) Mandate voter roll list maintenance
14) Offer rewards for convictions involving fraudulent use of Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, Social Security, or other entitlements
15) Freeze rent increases
Republican governors would be wise to use this time to convene special sessions.
