Just invited River to Japantown. So what to do? Shooting pleasantries of the same dialogue options.
Guitar? Locked. Radio? Can't play the romantic Royal Blue Station. Can't turn on the TV to discuss the downed Kang Tao AV. Can't have Mr. Wands cook his favourite Mexican meal. Can't even play the Rocker music near your stash. Can't sit down and drink Whisky or smoke a cig and spill shit about Arasaka.
Yes we get a shower scene he just comes in but I'm a straight male I'd prefer looking at V instead of River. And then you sleep together.
But then when you wake up, you don't even get the buff of extra XP.
What kind of a lame date is it? I feel the older romance was a bit more fun because you actually have an extra safehouse to sleep in and get a nicer buff (I did that with Judy way before, like 3 years ago). Now when you visit River, he stands there without a dialogue option, and Joss isn't home. And you can't use the bed.
I am all for adding new interactions. But this is downright a downgrade, unless I have done something wrong.
I also prefer romantic relationships that you can actually share your minds with your output. Like maybe we shouldn't talk about how Arasaka has put a price on my head but you know, at least we should talk about how the Parade is so packing of people, or how the new pistol shoots nicely. Even just random shit like Mizusani feels great or something like actual organic food tastes good.
I get it is difficult to record new lines. But maybe do that over text messages or something. Take him out a spin with your Quadra or something. Dine out and play a bit of eating animation. Use Jackie's animation when he eats noodles will already be an improvement.
I hope we can send a text message to split up. That's not the kind of date my Corpo V is looking for. Lol.

Jack had a decent time as a newborn compared to his aunt, uncle, and father. Being born during the 2000's of course. He was a hybrid of an infected human, rhat being Felix, and Gwendolyn. Luckily for him, it made most of his teetg, except for the molars, sharp. That, and his incredible stamina and weather resistance.
The first four mounths of his life came to horrible turn as his mother, Gwendolyn Kayuri, was killed. Luckily for him, she was able to hide him before Felix arrived.
The next 14 years of his life was hiding. Mostly in basements or hiden rooms, never to see another person than his father. But that's all he needed in life. His father provided a surprisingly good education for Jackson, however not babying him too much.
Now at 14 (1st image) Jack had found it strange that he wasn't allowed outside. Felix didn't have the heart to snap at his son, the poor boy's innocent eyes eating away at him. Felix then told Jack to pack up what little he owned, and for the first time in his life, he saw the outside.
Only for a brief moment however, his poor eyes were adjusted to the dark. His eyes slowly adjusted, mostly thanks to a pair of sunglasses, and laid his eyes upon his worst fear... People. He noted how ghostly pale his skin was. How they looked so "normal" compared to him.
Felix drove him out into the woods, it was far more beautiful than the movies and games he's seen. Than after some rough terrain, he saw an impossible sight... A fort made of logs, and within a town. His father explained that they had made their own community to fight a corrupt government.
Jack was terrified at the prospect of living with hundreds of other people. And all within a single town... It took him weeks to adjust to breathing the same air with other people. That's when one day, he noticed an elderly lady in some black and white robs was struggling into a church.
Being the innocent respectful boy he was, he lended her a hand. As she invited him in. He felt a strange calmness as his cowardice fade. He realized he was in a catholic church, for him it was calming. He felt welcomed there, and soon became a catholic.
2 years pass as Jack was 16 (Image 2). He had a small group of friends. One of which being Maria, who was quite the explorer in the woods. Jack had a feeling he never quite understood... It wasn't a bad one, but a pleasent one. One he only felt around Maria.
Jack finally confessed these feelings to her, revealing she felt the same. Than it hit Jackson in the head, his heart thumping out of his chest. He was in love. But at that moment...
He noticed a commotion outside. Going to one of the fort walls, he watched as a bloody fight ensue between his father, a large muscular woman,a short, pale man with strange fleshy tentacles, and an older man who bared a resemblence to Felix.
He ran outside, quickly stopping Felix from the 4 killing each other. He spoke from his heart, finally setting his foot down. The fight finally de-esculated. However, the older man fell, clutching his chest. Muttering out an apology to Felix and the others. Than Jack finally pieced it together... They were his family, and the old man was his grandfather.
Before he could say anything, Morgan went limp. Jack saw someone take their final breath for the first time. He was in deep shock as Felix walked back inside, not caring about his father's death. However, he saw Felicia and Télios bawling out for their dead father. Rather than leaving the two out there, he led them inside.
The two were overjoyed on meeting their nephew. Jack had opened up a bit more to them, showing them around and showing them to Maria and his friends. Felix however, wss displeased. Thinking the two were using his son to gain intel. Felix quickly kicked the two out, but not with Jack giving them his phone number.
A few hears pass as Jack was 19 (Still image 2, just imagine him a bit more matured). He was enjoying his day until one of Felix's right hand came up to him. Felix was killed, thus leaving Jack the leader of the rebellion.
Before Jack could even mourn, a fire in the surrounding woods broke out. That, and a full-scale FBI and CIA raid was upon them. Jack, with no idea how to lead, panicked. He had no clue on what to do, luckily, most of the rebels knew their positions from drills.
But it wasn't enough, the fire was bad enough but all the enemy units surrounding them? All hope seemed lost until a shout of pure rage and agony was heard. Out of the flames came the scorched corpse of Felix. Jack instanly knew it was his dad, bursting into tears.
Felix was now back at the helm, ordering his men around as they pushed the enemg back. Felix had taken so much gunfire, it was a surprise he was still even standing... Suddenly, Maria was shot. Jack's heart was pumping with adrenaline as he ran for her. He carried her, surprising for his slimmer stature, and ran to safety. Luckily the bullet only hit her leg, but the agent who shit her followed.
Jack noticed, and grabbed a gun. He had the shot but... He couldn't take a life... One of the other rebels shot the agent down as the war finally began to die down. They repelled the enemy and saved the fort from burning! However... Felix collpased, he wasn't immortal, just damn hard to kill.
Jack held him in his arms as he realized there was no saving his father... Not wanting him to suffer, Jack put a gun to Felix's head. Jack muttered a prayer through hesrt-wrenching tears as Felix finally confessed how proud he was. And with a loud bang... His father was free from torment.
The blood on his hands and face... Yes it was the right thing but... It didn't feel like it... He passed the role of leader to Felix's right hand before leaving the rebel life with Maria.
Jack was now im his 20's (3rd image), he was living happily with Maria in (generic city #4). He had been volunteering at any time he could, helping aid the agony of the world. Maria worked at a resteraunt, bringing the two left-over meals. But that's not how they paid rent...
He went over with Felicia and Télios when he could. Spending time at the fight club made hin sick, seeing people laugh at such violence... However, Felicia had made a fortune out of it. She was a bit stingy, seeing that she wanted to save for a mansion, but gave Jack rent money.
However, after a few months of this, Jack was disgusted about his actions... He looked in the mirror, he wasn't a innocent boy. He was a young man, a young man who took a life and now lives with blood money...
He made a plastic mask, fitting snuck on his face. And at long last... He saw that boy again. But the eyes... The eyes don't lie...

That Claudia and Jackie went on and on about how a woman should be a homemaker just for Claudia to admit she will never cook and that it’s okay cuz Ben is the chef.

"I have very little evidence... But that hasn't stopped me before." - Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld, asserting that Democrats may be preparing “electoral dirty tricks,” before admitting he has no basis to think so.

Criss-Cross Cohen Sauce

Trump’s attorneys spent the day bashing Trump’s former-fixer-turned-nemesis, Michael Cohen, on the witness stand. It wasn’t pretty.

• Lawyers for disgraced former President Donald Trump seemed to relish their chance to assault the credibility of the key witness against their boss in the ongoing Manhattan hush-money trial. Trump lawyer Todd Blanche dove in immediately, asking Cohen about the time he called Blanche a “crying little shit” on TikTok. Cohen admitted that sounded like something he would say (fact check: true!). Blanche threw more shade at Cohen, grilling him about social media remarks and contrasting Cohen’s recent Trump-ire with his past adoration. Blanche blasted Cohen as an infamous and convicted liar, while Trump “listened” on with his head back and his eyes closed.
  
• This trial is drawing near a close — and not a moment too damn soon. Cohen is the final witness for the prosecution, meaning prosecutors may rest their case as soon as Thursday. Next, Trump’s defense gets to call witnesses, if they have any. Trump once said he’d take the stand himself, then waffled about it. He’s done this two-step before: Promise big, then wimp out.
  
• Outside of the courthouse, Trump’s minions gathered to say the kinds of things that the judge has barred Trump from saying in a formal gag order. The most notable visitor: U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who called the case an illegitimate sham, but never entered the courtroom. Others included Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), Governor Doug Burgum (R-ND), and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. New loyalty test alert!
  

Trump’s appeal to end the gag order was denied Tuesday morning, just as his MAGA faithful were mustering outside the courthouse to talk big into microphones on his behalf. But that, surely, was one big coincidence.

Under The Radar

So… should we panic about the nerve-wracking New York Times poll data showing Trump leading President Joe Biden in five key battleground states? We’d be lying if we said we’re NOT breathing into a paper bag. But panic is not the order of the day, according to Pod Save America co-host, Dan Pfeiffer (who also hosts the Friends of the Pod exclusive, Pollercoaster). “The picture is not super pretty,” Pfeiffer said on today’s episode of the What a Day podcast. But, he continued, “no, you should not be running around like a chicken with your head cut off.”
First of all, this election cycle is still in its early days. Second, Biden doesn't need to carry all six battleground states to win the election. If Biden wins just Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, he’ll prevail, Pfeiffer pointed out. And in those three states, even this poll shows Biden within the margin of error among “likely voters” (rather than all registered voters, with whom Biden's numbers are worse).
Still, the president clearly has work to do. He’s not just behind Trump. He trails Democratic Senate candidates. Biden won Nevada by two points in 2020, but now lags Trump by a staggering 12 points among registered voters there. By contrast, Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) leads her Republican challenger by two points in the Silver State. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) is five points ahead of his Republican opponent in Pennsylvania, where Trump leads Biden by three points.
Curiously, the NYT poll also found that 17 percent of registered voters actually blame BIDEN for the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, despite the fact that Trump appointed the justices who did this and then went around taking credit. Never mind, I think maybe we should panic again!

What Else?

The Biden administration told Congress it plans to move forward on a shipment of more than $1 billion in new weapons for Israel, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed officials. The latest shipment includes over $700 million in tank ammunition and $500 million in tactical vehicles. The Biden administration has stressed its opposition to an Israeli assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah over fears of a humanitarian catastrophe, but has so far only withheld a single shipment of 2,000-pound bombs.
Gov. Tate Reeves (R-MS) signed a new anti-trans bill Monday that bans transgender people from using bathrooms, locker rooms, or dormitories that do not correspond to their sex assigned at birth, or risk being sued. Reeves has already banned trans athletes from competing in women’s sports and banned gender-affirming care for minors.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken got on stage during a surprise visit to Kyiv and played guitar for a cover of Neal Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World.” The idea, seemingly, was to reassure Ukrainian leaders that the U.S. still supports their war against Russia, a few weeks after Congress approved a delayed $60 billion aid package. Is this what they teach in the School of Foreign Service?
Meanwhile, President Biden signed a bipartisan bill Monday that bans Russian imports of enriched uranium, the main fuel used by nuclear power plants. Russia accounts for more than a fifth of U.S. nuclear fuel, but Biden is looking to cut financial ties with the Kremlin. The bill, which allocates $2.7 billion for domestic uranium, was held up for months by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) while he threw a tantrum about some of his provisions getting nixed in the defense bill. Shocker. Don’t hurt yourself working so hard for America, Ted!
The Arizona Supreme Court agreed to delay enforcing the state’s 1864 near-total abortion ban until late September, which could bump the law from ever going into effect. Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) signed a repeal earlier this month, but it won’t go into force before a stay on the ban is lifted, which would have potentially left a small window of time for Republicans to get doctors thrown in jail for performing abortions. Sorry, fellas, we know you really wanted to!
House Democrats opened an investigation into Trump’s disgraceful meeting with oil executives, in which he reportedly begged for $1 billion in campaign donations in exchange for axing dozens of Biden’s environmental policies.
Rudy Giuliani has been ducking his indictment by an Arizona grand jury last month for allegedly trying to overturn Trump’s loss in the state, and has yet to be served. Prosecutors reportedly made multiple attempts to hand the former U.S. attorney his summons, but have been unable to reach him in person or by phone. Maybe they should try summoning him from the underworld.

I tried it and i feel like it did make the pasta better but not sure if it was placebo, can any culinary masters confirm or deny?

I myself 26F is currently in the process of reconciliation btw faith and sexuality. I formerly held a side B stance after consuming content from jackie hill perry, becket cook, preston sprinkle, and samuel Perez. It also helped that I was in school and focused on other things. But at the age I am now I realized that I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life. It's also unfair that people like me are told we need to be. Even though this subreddit has helped with my faith, I often wonder what's the point of even being christian sometimes.
I guess im just tired of hearing the same things from conservative christian evangelicals who make comments like

1. " Even though Jesus befriended sinners doesn't mean he condoned there behavior "
   
2. Love the sinner, but hate the sin
   
3. "Jesus told the adulterous women to go and sin no more"
   
4. Comparing homosexuality to alcohol and drug abuse
   
5. Blaming sexual abuse in childhood for the reasoning of homosexuality
   
6. Your identity should be in christ and not a label
   
7. Labeling our relationships as a "lifestyle"
   

Idk it's hard to have to justify your existence with people like this. They sit there and take any ex gay testimony as a blueprint of how we should live our lives. Also I'm getting really tired of people claiming to be ex gay but still experience SSA. A change in behavior but not attraction still makes you gay lol. It's like you can only be accepted if you stay celibate and say that you struggle with SSA.
Also when it's comes to LGBT stuff some of these Christians are out here doing the most and protesting at pride events but don't keep the same energy for people at the strip clubs, people having pre martial sex, divorcees, having kids out of wedlock ,or even pastors sexually abusing members of there own congregation. These people are still considered real Christians, but if you dare admit that your a gay christian, people will debate if your truly saved or not which is messed up.
Sorry for the long post. I want to know how the rest of you deal with comments like this?
