I want that controller. Also, a faceplate for my (original version) PS5 would be cool.

I also stopped playing after I think the first level because it just became Disney park rides. I've heard people say just don't use it. But I don't know if the game is built around using them. Like playing a Final Fantasy game without limit breaks. You can skip it, but it gives you a break every once in awhile and keeps up the pacing.

If the DNC is too conservative, then she is inversely too liberal for the DNC. And she isnt, it's not a monolith. She would be more than welcome in the more liberal half of the government.

If she wants to change it, she should join and do so. She might not succeed. That's how Democracy works. She'd be more likely to succeed though.

I've never heard a single position of hers that is too liberal. Even Andrew Yang was given his time to make his case. Voters said no.

The problem is that she's not actually popular enough with voters to get elected, let alone popular enough in the liberal half of the country to get nominated. She's saying the game is rigged because she doesn't actually have a chance.

The game actually favors her. RCV would help a moderate like Manchin get elected.

It's okay to hate both terrorist organizations.

If Jill Stein thought she had a chance, she'd join the Democratic Party and actually campaign to win. She's just running for the self-indulgence despite hurting civil rights and climate initiatives.

They have a shot, by joining the Democratic Party. The same way that progressives join liberals, make their voice heard, and let the voters decide.

Any third party presidential candidate that aligns mostly (or entirely) with one of the other parties but doesn't join them is at best chicken shit. If you can't convince half of the population which is closest to you politically, you're not going to convince the other half.

The only way a third party candidate would even theoretically work is if they were moderate (think Joe Manchin) where they would appeal to moderates from both parties.

Someone like Jill Stein has no business running outside of the Democratic Party. If she can't convince the Dems, she's not convincing the rest of the country. Running as a Dem and convincing 26% of voters is her best road to the presidency, but she knows she'll never get that much support.

I loved the middle parts of WandaVision, but hated how it ended. I've liked most of the other shows, so I'm hoping this will also be good.

I wasn't expecting this comment to end so wholesome. But I'm glad it did.

Holy crap, she's 31? She looks like a 60 year old that had extensive work to kind of look 40.

 

This is an objective, unbiased ranking in the same vein as the NFL Title Belt. As such, the number 1 ranked team will always be the same as the current NFL Title Belt holder.

This is Week 1 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2024 season. See here for last week’s rankings.

The Chiefs beat the Ravens to keep the NFL Title Belt and first ranking. The Chiefs will hold the NFL Title Belt until their first loss of the 2024 season. The Bengals will have a chance to take the title belt on Sunday.

With the Commanders losing to the Bucs, the Commanders will remain last place until their first win of the 2024 season. The Commanders will play the Giants Sunday to move out from last.

Let me know if you’d like to see more of this, if you’re curious about how I came up with these rankings, or if you noticed any mistakes. Also, the table text seems to not show on dark mode on PC. So let me know if it works for you on dark mode or how to fix that if you know.

1 Chiefs -- The Chiefs beat the Ravens to keep the NFL Title Belt and first.

This ranking assumes that there are never any fluke games and all teams are appropriately ranked. If you beat a team that is higher ranked than you, you move ahead of them and they move down one spot. However, other teams can jump in front of teams that are higher ranked than you, moving you further down the rankings.

This is Week 0 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2024 season. See here for last week’s rankings.

The Chiefs beat the 49ers to keep the NFL Title Belt and first ranking. The Chiefs will now hold the NFL Title Belt until their first loss of the 2024 season. They will play the Ravens on Thursday night.

With the Commanders losing to the Cowboys in the last game of the season, the Commanders will remain last place until their first win of the 2024 season. The Commanders will play the Bucs Sunday.

The secretary of state's response filed Monday agrees that a staff member got an e-mail asking for a copy of what to submit. It states that a staff member replied with a Word document.

However, the response states that what the staffer emailed was "an internal recordkeeping document" and not any sort of template. The response states that no such template exists.

The response also denies Arkansans for Limited Government's claim that attorneys and representatives with the secretary of state's office assured the group it had filed the necessary paperwork.

 

Jack Black has said he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked an outcry with a comment about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

The comedy rock group were on stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Gass was asked to make a wish after being presented with a cake for his 64th birthday.

He appeared to reply: "Don’t miss Trump next time."

Gass also split with his agent following the incident.

 

I get a lot of spam. In the subject it might say something about Home Warranty. The sender will say Home Warranty (the actual sender will be randomwords@randomwords.com).

But whenever I use my email's search engine, to delete all emails that say "Home Warranty", it can't find them.

Do people usually just ignore these types of emails?

 

I got banned from an .ml community for basically nothing and I remembered .ml is the tankies instance. So I'm looking for an alternative so I can be off of the instance entirely.

 

FWIW, the community was worldnews@lemmy.ml.

I assume I was banned because I said I understood Biden opposing surgery on minors, specifically trans surgery. Although I disagreed with it.

 

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma’s top education official ordered public schools Thursday to incorporate the Bible into lessons for grades 5 through 12, the latest effort by conservatives to incorporate religion into classrooms.

 

Reggie Bush has his 2005 Heisman Trophy back, as the Heisman Trust announced Wednesday the formal "reinstatement" of the trophy to Bush amid what it calls "enormous changes in the college football landscape."

The Heisman Trust's decision comes after Bush forfeited his Heisman Trophy in 2010 in the wake of significant NCAA sanctions for USC, which included Bush receiving improper benefits during a Trojans career that spanned from 2003 to 2005.

 

The House on Saturday passed a $95 billion aid package that includes two long-awaited bills with $60.8 billion of Ukraine aid and $26 billion in aid to Israel.

The Ukraine bill, which passed with 311 votes in favor, 112 votes against, and one present, will now head to the Senate alongside the Israel aid bill and two others — one with aid for Taiwan and another that forces Tiktok's parent company to sell it.

 

I'm just curious if anyone is watching. It's been entertaining.

I keep wondering if there's a potential spring camp/minor league future for the UFL. They could start popping up in college stadiums during the off season. Imagine if a college team, let's say the Arkansas Razorbacks, had a UFL team that focused on giving former Razorbacks a place to play if they don't go to the NFL. It could even be a way to entice middling players to go to that school. Now do that with any college that wants to participate.

 

The Bills received a 2025 second-round pick in exchange for Diggs, a 2024 sixth-round pick, and a 2025 fifth-round pick. The Texans acquired that pick from the Vikings when they traded their 2024 first-round pick to Minnesota last month.
