Probably the most exciting part of the trailer is that it all but confirms multiplayer which was probably the biggest missing element of the first game.

Yep, the manufacturers get massive tax breaks on this class of vehicle, which means they can make and sell them at the same or better price than a small, fuel efficient car. If a family with kids has to choose between a mid size crossover or an F150 at similar price points, why would you get the crossover? The USA needs to fix the way it taxes cars to disincentivise these fuel inefficient giant cars. No other country has these problems so it’s not a selfish person problem, it’s an entirely logical choice to make given the circumstances.

It’s actually 25, there was a typo in the article that they fixed.

I can appreciate that some states are better than others, in a similar manner to being able to appreciate that some EU countries are better than others. I’ve visited the USA and so I’ve seen first hand the good and the bad.

It doesn’t change the fact that globally, you are represented by your federal government and not your local state ones. As an Australian I might expect a foreigner to know our Prime Minister but never a state premier.

From overseas we just see a lot of the insane shit. Politically, the whole world is interested your federal elections because that is what has a chance to affect us. I don’t care who the governor of a state is really because they aren’t going to be able to declare some insane war or fuck over or save entire countries.

Even when we see state x legalizes y or outlaws z it just blurs together from out here. Much easier to see your own state doing good things when you’re inside it.

And yeah, USA doesn’t get enough credit for craft beer!

Often huge barriers to employment are owning a phone with a consistent number, and appearance/hygiene. For someone with nothing these two things can massively help.

In the musical wicked which I suppose is canon and happens at the same time, Glenda reveals to Madame Morrible that the wicked witch of the west will probably show herself if her sister (the wicked witch of the east) is in danger. So Morrible summons the tornado to threaten the sister which coincidentally brings along Dorothy. Glenda secretly was good friends with Elphaba (WWotW) so wouldn’t have intentionally gotten her sister killed. There was a lot of politics and propaganda and stuff, but Glenda wasn’t really a villain, just a vain person who found it easier to support an autocracy. Someone who has read the books could probably explains it all, sorry if I’ve ruined your headcanon!

What confuses me with this take, is that you guys get two options over there, so how was Trump a better choice? In a battle of lesser evils you still pick the lesser evil. Such an unbelievably flawed democratic system the US has.

It actually looks a lot like spinal halo-gravity traction which is a modern treatment for childhood scoliosis.

Centre stands need to be way more sturdy to hold it up. You can buy aftermarket VESA centre stands though if you can’t wall mount it.
