I see it increases damage per round, does it also increase accuracy or do I need a high dexterity already to use it effectively

We are in an age of misinformation, outright lies, and absurdity proposed as hot takes. But one brave soul, paid to be the senior culture correspondent at The Economist, decided to be as dumb and wrong as possible, setting the bar so low it's a tripping hazard in hell.

I visited LKY Singapore and it was the tiny-ass island with ironclad laws punishable severely. Dissent not tolerated. Difference not tolerated. Clear caste-like system based on ethnic origin.

It worked because it was a tiny island. Six or seven Singapores can fit inside RI.

LKY / Singapore admiration really is a synechdoche of *pre-Trump* American right-wing thought.

Rigid cultural conservatism, a state explicitly aligned with large firms, and maybe most importantly: a system of formal racial equality paired with an obvious and unquestioned racial hierarchy.

two thing that annoys me about Lee Kuan Yew worship is that nobody who does it seems to care about *modern* singaporean politicians and American right-wingers who do it would never accept LKY's policies of, e.g., massive public housing projects in a country that makes posting racism illegal

My GoFundMe is still open. PLEASE help me reach $5000 if you can. I'm desperate.

I just got a call from my loan officer that because I had to spend my down payment on rent, I may no longer qualify for my mortgage loan

I need to come up with at least $5000 asap or my house search will be for nothing and my mom and I will be homeless in under 2 months

I gotta say, it's a bit rich relaunching Vertigo, "Comics! They're not just for kids!", after being lily livered cowards who hurled a trans writer under the bus for making a Kirk joke.

I haven't withdrawn the $2000 from my GoFundMe yet and can afford to put pretty much my entire next paycheck into savings (about $1000) but that still leaves me $2000 short

I had $10000 in savings when I was first approved for the loan 6 months ago but my house search went on so long I needed to use it to pay rent so now I don't have enough for my closing costs
