ya perishable and rental jokers are sneakily very debilitating, the former in that there's a chance your run-winning joker craps out on you in five rounds, the latter absolutely demolishes early game econ. it really does feel like you need to just restart until you get a decent joker to escape early game hell and hope you can find something in time before faster ante scaling from purple stake destroys you

Trying to gold stake a few more decks in Balatro, at 4 or five out of 15 so far? Shit's hard
Also running back another Dark Souls 1 enemy/item randomizer after just finishing one. There's a lot of fun to be had retreading a game you know well with so much stuff shifted around, especially one like DS1 where the first half is so intricately designed. It's basically a metroidvania with how you're trying to open new areas. Otoh there can be really annoying enemy placements - Darkwraiths my detested >:(
Do you introduce yourself by telling people about shitty things that you've done in the past?
No, because such things generally aren't relevant to how I'm interacting with those people. In this case, the user's past conduct is very relevant because people might not want to lend money to someone who was very publicly thrown out of the community for homophobia and abuse.
Do you support the checkbox on job applications about ever having been arrested for or convicted of a crime?
... No? That's an institutional barrier to employment, and not remotely similar to the situation at hand. I also wouldn't support banning people from the mutual aid comm for being arrested for or convicted of a crime, if you're curious.
Dang, so it is
The context in this case is that this person was already banned for various offenses like hurling slurs at other community members, including OP. If she was honest about her identity, he wouldn't have given her money. How is that not a lie by omission?
Wild if true. Do the redacted parts of that first screenshot line up with the original Rachel? Otherwise just a first name is a bit of a stretch IMO
But if it is the same person coming back after, what, three years to hustle four figure sums from a tiny internet forum is... something
I don't know if I've ever seen a more rizzless individual
dudes rock
it's still kinda worth it when it makes him lose and you get the 
Local festival had people doing Rush covers last night, now it's Coolio and Outkast. Any guesses for tomorrow night?
I could talk vaguely about allowing for more infrastructure development by cutting planning red tape but I don’t
"I could actually answer your question, but I won't"
It's not hard. "Even if you don't need new housing, building more housing means more economic activity that funds the government through already existing taxes to do things like hire dentists."
I'd feel some sympathy if this guy's only option was to explain Modern Monetary Theory to someone who's probably been indoctrinated by years of "the govt budget is just like a big household budget" rhetoric, but this is easy street.
I don't think there's anywhere I can do that (apartment building). But I'm gonna find an electronics disposal/recycling and/or household hazardous waste disposal place to take it to soon
