ME2 would be infinitely better if you could take an ultimate paragon track, and tell Cerberus to pound sand. Then spend the rest of the game racing against Cerberus (with deep disadvantages) to beat them to the Collector home worlds. …giving Shepard’s clone a slightly more interesting story…

My (apparently unpopular gaming take is that Mass Effect is the best of the trilogy. The other two are meh at best. The armor and gun purchases were half the fun, dummies! And you ditched that after game 1. Mass Effect Andromeda has some great elements but on the whole makes no sense

Sure, this is bad but $10?!?!?!? That’s like f*** you money. I’d be inclined to take the card and then state flat out that I’m not voting for a dick who tries to buy my vote for $10 when gas is almost $5 a gallon. Wtf am I going to do with $10 of gas?

Trump is a Russian asset and doesn't want you to know that Russia attacked Ukraine. If Russia stops fighting, the war is over. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine is over. Trump is a traitor and must be held accountable.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

WSJ is reporting that the Trump regime is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar to build a case to strip her of US citizenship, forcibly remove her from office, & deport her. Please understand how dangerous and catastrophic this is. It’s already fascism that he’s trying to do this. 1/2

Read this. LOL. She now says she misunderstood the where did you take the bar exam. "When I moved to China." She thought it was "What did you do after law school." LOL. Turns out basically everything law related listed on her CV/Linkedin is either misleading, false or even possibly a crime.
