I have my doubts about this, we had problems with faithless electors in 2016 as well, that's how we put Orange Julius in the white house the first time around without the popular vote. If the electors decided they wanted to vote Trump there's not actually anything preventing them from doing that, there's no law stating that they must vote in step with their electorate. The intended balance to that is supposed to be that you won't get re-elected if the people learn about it, but conservatives don't seem to be concerned with that anymore.

All that to say, if a large pro-Trump section of the electorate decided to just vote for him no matter who their constituents voted for, there's no mechanism to prevent this and it would look an awful lot like the election we just had.

If my death comes with a bumpin' soundtrack I think I'll consider that a net win.

Fictorum is the game that most scratches the wizard itch for me. It's an indie game, so don't expect AAA polish, but what is there is absolutely what you might call a "hidden gem".

Just because EA claims something is an expansion on the box, does not make it true.

You could ask the same thing of Wizards of the Coast who sent goons to a guy's house over some Magic The Gathering cards.

We live in an age where these two things are becoming interchangeable.

I mean, back before Kanye canceled himself, I used to use Feedback as my morning alarm and I feel like that one hit just right for that.

Turnip loves when other people come up with plans, because he ~~can't~~ can just ignore it and do what he wants anyway

That's like the one silver lining I'm seeing out of this whole situation, is that Trump can't stick to a plan if his literal life and freedom depend on it. We saw that in action in the E. Jean Carroll defamation suit. It doesn't matter how well the plans are laid by his mice and men, he's not going to read them. And if we're lucky that by itself will be enough to prevent a total enactment of P2025.

Technically speaking, nachos and salad are two different food groups. But by this same definition a steak is a salad and a salad is actually nachos, provided it has croutons.
