TIL there's such a thing as vegetarian Spam
  • This stuff is great. Not a vegetarian but I eat plenty of protein alternatives because of family. Un-Meat Plant Based Luncheon Meat Style (you have to say the whole thing) is actually preferable to spam.

    Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)?
  • Conservative media comes through plenty in the form of business, tech and mainstream media sources 🙄

    Don't confuse the fact that Republicans have become degenerate doesn't mean their ideas are the basis of conservative ideology.

    UPS drivers won “historic heat protections.” They say the company hasn't lived up to that promise.
  • Biden only picked up that ball after the East Palestine disaster vindicated all the reasons the union wanted to strike in the first place. It was a PR move because he had blood on his hands.

    For comparison a single socialist city council member in Seattle pushed and won the for 12 days of sick leave for the entire city back in 2012. 4 days is bread crumbs. They would have gotten a much better deal had they just been left alone to strike and negotiate.

    J.D. Vance Told His Son to ‘Shut The Hell Up’ About Pokemon While Talking to Trump
  • That's just little boys though, you can kindly redirect. My boy is 9 and he can talk forever about Pokémon, Minecraft or whatever he is fixated on today. Sometimes I just have to tell him I'm done now, sometimes I have to say it a few times but that's ya know, parenting.

    You didn't drop him on the side of the road, but it was an idea to help you get through it.

    It Was Supposed to Be Trump’s Administration in Waiting. But Project 2025 Was a Mirage All Along.
  • The relatively low-budget feel of the database and the training academy has prompted some of the project’s partners to wonder what, exactly, Dans and his team have done with the $22 million that the Heritage Foundation initially pledged toward Project 2025. When I asked Dans how the budget had been used, he reached for one of his folksy aphorisms.

    “I remember this Old Milwaukee [beer] ad from the ’80s … and there was the one guy who was in charge of the beer fund, and [he and his friends] were all happy and they’re drinking ‘Old Mill,’ and [one of them] said, ‘Well, what did you do with all the monies that you were putting into the beer fund?’ And then you see the guy behind them with a big yacht.”

    “We’re drinking ‘Old Mill’ here,” he added.

    So not all of the $22 million that had been earmarked for the project had actually been allocated to it? I asked.

    Dans nodded. “We’re much more [low] budget over here than what people [operating] in the caverns of the liberal mind would like to believe.”

    "I got my yatch!"

    Trump Flipped Out That 'Lunatic' Project 2025 Could Tank His Campaign
  • I mean in the case of Trump it's not actually far fetched. He is a useful idiot to the people with an agenda. Not to cut him any slack, just pointing out that he is a buffoon chasing approval, he thought he would get it for P2025 but now that there is blowback he's legitimately like "I didn't read it, I don't read anything."

    This card is salt on the wound.

    This is the deck I am currently most excited about. I jumped on Thrawn Vigilance and am waiting for the last of those cards to arrive but this Iden creature light list plays to my favorite aspect of control, blanking opponents interaction.

    The main wincon is Vigilance and milling them out. All the removal in the deck means you'll be gaining lots of life off Iden each game, and flipping her is less of a priority than something you can plan for the right time.

    It does play some weaker cards like Repair & Restock but they are easy targets for resourcing early and basically free value later in the game.

    This is a great competitive control list that hits aggro and midrange currently dominant in the meta. Don't bring this to a kitchen table, cherish a friend that plays SWU with you.

    For all the great things they have to say about the game their scoring is heavily impacted by being a channel for board games. I agree with pretty much everything they have to say, except the art has really grown on me and I am glad they went in a different direction from previous SW card games. The art feels as fresh as the gameplay.

    And the gameplay is extremely good. FFG has announced that they have 3 additional sets already printed and an additional 6 ready to go. On top of that the tournament support makes organized play a priority for the game which I love as from what I can see WotC has been dropping that ball more and more as Arena has become more of their focus.

    Have you played the game? Are you interested?

    This deck is a great entry point into the game. It's incredibly aggressive, highly synergistic, and relatively cheap to build with the only 4 cards (12 for playsets) that will hurt your wallet. Currently Sabin Command is the aggro deck of choice in the meta, but Leia has a huge leg up over that build in the form of action economy.

    If you are coming from Magic this concept of action economy is something unique to SWU as there isn't instant speed interaction. Each player takes an action, goes back and forth throughout the turn and the first player to finish their plans for that turn then takes initiative in order to be first on the following turn. Leia's ability to attack with two rebels in one action not only prevents your opponent from interacting with a unit before damage is dealt in a turn, but also helps ensure you get initiative almost every time. All units in this deck have the rebel type. The big swing in the deck is playing Rebel Assault on Leia allowing you to attack with three units in one action!

    So their is the rebel synergy but there is a secondary synergy that limited deck building choices, which was For A Cause I Believe In and running 100% heroic aspect cards. This card will hit for 4 damage every time, while setting up your next draw. Incredible value and reach to finish out games.

    U-Wing Reinforcement is your late game refill, and can even hit Fleet Lieutenant allowing you to attack in the same action.

    Playing against this deck was incredibly frustrating as even when I had interaction I barely ever had initiative to prevent the unit from doing damage in the turn, and if I used my interaction on a unit that hadn't attacked yet to try and stop the bleeding I wasn't going to target the biggest threat on the board. There was even a turn when I was forced to take initiative way before I had used all my resources and units just to try and get on top of the next turn.

    I haven't dealt with sideboarding yet, but I would probably look to having some space units to shift into, Karabast for interaction, as well as Guerilla Attack Pod for late game reach.
