@AutoMattock @broskiFGC That's more about install level 2 supers needing to be balanced, imho.

The Trump/Miller Doctrine is to do something awful so many times over and over that it eventually stops being covered as news. Bombing boats in the Caribbean, bombing other countries, threatening allies, ICE murders, etc. The first few times? Big news. Now? Barely even mentioned.

There's a very common playbook that leaders use when they fear that they or their party are going to lose an election. So, here are some of the steps in that authoritarian playbook that you should look out for:

1⃣ Install loyalists to key positions around the elections. The president, unlike his first term, has really put in deep loyalists across the government; in the attorney general’s office, in charge of elections and election security. Putting in people who are more loyal to him than they are to the Constitution and who will do whatever he says.

2⃣ Sow doubt in our election system. The president has been doing this since 2020. He’s talking falsely about how our elections were rigged in 2020. He’s been talking about how the elections we just had in Los Angeles were rigged. He said in the State of the Union this year that if he and his party don't win in November, then the 2026 are rigged. The president has come out against mail-in voting and absentee voting. The president is already starting to do this by suing states across the country, including Michigan, for their voter rolls. He has particularly taken a sharp look at the city of Detroit and in Wayne County. This is all part of a bigger play to sow doubt into the efficacy of our elections.

3⃣ Suggest that there is a crisis threatening our elections. This is all about amping up the stories and the coverage and the tweets about how we are actually in an emergency. That our elections are so unsafe, so problematic, that the president has to declare some sort of emergency.

4⃣ Respond to the perceived threat. Once you've created an emergency and you’ve said our elections are under threat, now the head of state has to respond to that emergency. Maybe they send the uniform military; maybe they send the federal law enforcement; maybe they feel the need to be on location at polling places. Maybe now they are seizing ballots and voting machines.

5⃣ If none of that works and the elections don't go the way of the leader, completely question the results. Sue to try and have them overturned. We lived through this in 2020, and as someone who, on January 6, barricaded herself in her own office, we’ve seen that President Trump does not accept the results of elections that he loses.

This is amazing. The Atlantic posts JD Vance’s oped from 2016.

“A few Saturdays ago, my wife and I spent the morning volunteering at a community garden in our San Francisco neighborhood. After a few hours of casual labor, we and the other volunteers dispersed to our respective destinations: tasty brunches, day trips to wine country, art-gallery tours. It was a perfectly normal day, by San Francisco standards.”

@Arlieth Not technically a beer, but perhaps makgeolli might work?

I have no idea what games they have, but there's a casino there.

[hipseongflash @hipseongflash]

@KBradJStorm lol well hopefully your casino luck also carries over to Singapore 😅

@WOLFGANGXO - Greatly reduce all Drive gain while SA2 is active.
- Disable blocking during SA2 (Blanka can still parry and perfect parry if he has Drive).

Someone is leaking the SCOTUS decisions to the WH before they're released to the public.

There's a reason we have the Postmaster General suddenly talking about post marks and how mail might be delayed before it's post marked.

You mark my words. We are going to see mail held up and not post marked, until after the election in key races. They have already worked out how to cheat this decision.

Do not drop your vote in a pickup box. Take it into the post office wait in line and make them post mark it in front of you.

@ShADoWxNoBODy You can definitely find much cheaper hotels in Singapore. Also the public transportation is first class, so that opens up your options.

[hipseongflash @hipseongflash]

@Beverley_Yim Gotta prepare a guide on how to get the event venue... I think MBS hotel rates might be more expensive than Vegas?

[hipseongflash @hipseongflash]

@KBradJStorm Main thing is NOT to book your accommodations at the EVO Singapore venue... there are much cheaper hotels available than Marina Bay Sands. Public transport to the venue is accessible and affordable.

@JoshEdits I think the main thing consoles provide is convenience for people who want to game, but don't want to fuss about drivers, compatibility issues, and whether their system can run a game that just came out.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

She actually looks Southeast Asian! I thought she would just look like a generic anime female youth, so this is a pleasant surprise :)
