Two decades.

Daggerfall was way, way, way ahead of its time… but when Vijay, Peterson, & LeFay left Bethesda it was all downhill. Morrowind was a pale shadow of Daggerfall, and it only went downhill from there as each release stripped back progressively more and more of Elder Scroll’s ambition and personality. Who was responsible for all this anti-ambitious anti-progress? Todd Howard.

Are you implying that there is anything else that matters?

Cope harder, Hollywood. Your business models are parasitic and predatory, and it’s nice that at least one governing body on this planet is looking out for consumers.

Debian is my go-to. So long as you’re already comfortable with Linux, you can get gaming working with a tiny bit of elbow grease… and unlike some other distros, Debian is rock-solid.

Taco Bell is about as Mexican as Mac & Cheese. When I talk about Mexican food, I am talking about Mexican food.

Maybe it’s that I don’t watch much comedy, but I’ve literally never seen anything dump on Indian. There is nothing more delicious than Indian. Nothing. Not even Mexican food. I do not say that lightly.

Likud - like any right wing movement - has a vested interest in ensuring that terror continues. Fear is the only way they can possibly stay in power.

The Avocado Tartine (+ Poached Egg) from Tartine Bakery here in California.

I'm a carnivore, through-and-through... but that $20 piece of avocado toast is orgasmic.

Second place: Tacos de Pastor de Trompo from this little stand in Ensenada (Baja, Mexico). I'm not sure if it's even still there, but those tacos were ecstasy.

Ding ding ding ding ding! This is exactly the case.

The police are merely getting away with less corruption and misconduct. The metric "solving crimes" has ALWAYS been a red herring.

Commerce and wealth-based taxes (income, sales, capital gains, etc) are sufficient to cover any and all social needs. Taxing people on their own possessions - especially those critical to living - is beyond unethical, it is evil.

A property tax on a primary dwelling residence is unethical because it is not attached to any act of commerce. It is your home. It is your family's life and legacy. Property taxes do not care whether the owners are billionaires or do not have a penny to their name, so they harm the middle class and the poor while it's little more than an afterthought for the wealthy. Case in point: Hawaiians who are forced to sell their ancestral homes because they cannot afford property tax... because the "value" of their ancestral land is constantly and steadily increased by wealthy interlopers. This is just plain, old-fashioned banditry and theft - nothing more and nothing less... and if you advocate for it or justify it, you advocate for evil.

Property taxes of most primary dwellings should not be a thing.
