Gonzales is the incumbent. The incumbent generally gets the votes from people in their party by default.
I'm well aware of this. For example, Governor Greg Abbot got ~70% of the vote in his last primary despite his wildly unpopular handling of covid, a big freeze, and several other issues (like participating in a witch hunt against AG Paxton, probably the most popular statewide elected official in Texas, and endorsing his opponent in the primary.)
If they vote, they will be voting for Herrera.
I think that "If" is a lot bigger than you're apparently making it out to be. I don't think the "Not Gonzales" voters are likely to flip to Gonzales, but that Herrera might be more unpalatable to the runoff voters than Gonzales. I don't know if you've ever watched any of Herrera's "edgier" content, but I expect Gonzales to be featuring lots of that stuff in some particularly vicious attack ads over the coming months.
I guarantee Gonzales is shitting his pants right now, because he knows all of this too.
I hope he is, but I don't see how the runoff is anything but an uphill battle for Herrera.
I was hoping this was a real quote. Brandon likes his memes (he imitated Henry Cavill "cocking" his arms from Mission Impossible when he did his youtube boxing match) enough that I could see him doing this (at least as part of a larger quote.)
I'll admit that I don't know much about how votes tend to go in runoffs, but while I'd agree that ~55% of the primary voters voted for "Not Gonzales", I don't see how that means Herrera picks up the ~30 percentage points worth of those voters who didn't vote for him, especially given the particulars here. Gonzales is (or perhaps was) an establishment Republican politician, whose policies probably put him generally Auth-Center on a political compass. Herrera is a gunmaker and youtuber whose stated political beliefs would probably put him somewhere between Lib-Center and Lib-Right on a political compass. Herrera is also young, foul mouthed, and irreverent, which aren't things that I see the typical Republican primary voter supporting.
Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe I'm a bit blackpilled on "conservatism", but I feel like it's more likely that the things I brought up cost Brandon 20 percent of the "undecided" voters in the runoff (most likely by simply not showing up) than that the "Not Gonzales" voters unify behind him as a bloc.
Last night, the people of Texas’ 23rd Congressional District sent a message: they’re done with Tony Gonzales and his betrayal of our shared conservative values.
I like Brandon, but this is a stretch considering that Gonzales got ~45 percent of the vote in the primary. Brandon needs to about double his portion of the vote to win the runoff, whereas Gonzales only needs to increase his portion by about 10 percent. His best hope is that all the people that didn't vote for Gonzales decide to turn out and vote for him, and that a bunch of the people that did vote for Gonzales don't turn out for the runoff.
I hope he wins, because I really do think he's what the country needs if we're going to (peacefully) turn this ship around, but I don't like his odds today as much as I did before election day.
You mean like releasing a manufactured plague from a biolab?
DnD used to have a concept of morality that was inspired by Christianity
Not in the stuff Greenwood wrote. And while he may not have written for any of the BG games, he created the Forgotten Realms, where the games take place.
It's burgers approaching their use by date. Only chain burger place I've really wanted the chili is DQ (which probably does the same thing).
There's still room for the drawing/coloring quality to go down, and if you don't think there's room for the writing/story quality to go down or for the general degeneracy to increase, you haven't spent enough time on 4chan. They'll give you examples galore.
I have to imagine the purpose behind this is twofold: sucker investors/execs who don't understand AI into thinking it's a panacea for their woes, and an attempt to do something to survive while inflation and stagnating wages are killing their market.
So, no, not "profit".
The comic book industry can only get better
Having seen recent examples from both mainstream comics and "alternative" comics, the trend is definitely going to continue downward.

Are we sure? Other than the unprovoked, unhinged meltdown and suicide, I've seen a couple things indicating he was trans.
Frostys are the only reason I ever ate at Wendy's in my adult life. They also had the Baconator (which is basically just meat, cheese, and condiments between two buns) which I had a couple times as a teenager, but I can't think of any other reason I'd ever have chosen Wendy's over any other option.
I'm gonna start this by saying that I've observed more price increase in fast food since 2020 than I had in all my years previous. Now it's apparently gotten so bad that the traditional means of disguising price increases aren't working and fast food joints are coming up with "clever" (read: "retarded") ways of disguising their price increases. Wendy's has decided that they're going to increase prices (because I guarantee the baseline pricing for this isn't going to be lower than current prices by more than a few percent) based on demand fluctuations throughout the day.
This makes sense (to some extent) in an Uber where the service you receive during a "surge" is likely to have higher associated "costs" for the driver (traffic, namely) and you're on your phone getting a quote before accepting the service, allowing the "surge pricing" to act as a means of smoothing demand and compensating the driver for additional labor.*
With fast food, unless the majority of your customer base is ordering through an app, the service received is completely incomparable. It costs the same in materials and labor to make a burger during high demand as it does during low demand (and I'd argue it probably actually costs less during high demand since you can make multiple burgers at the same time with less labor than if you spread that same number of burgers out over a longer time.) And as far as I know fast food chains generally don't implement increased compensation for employees based on working during high-demand hours (they just try to have more employees available during these times), so compensation for labor isn't part of the increased price.
For fast food, increasing prices during a "surge" also isn't going to smooth the demand curve, it will just lower it. People aren't going to plan ahead to adjust their mealtimes with fast food, they'll just pick another option. Why even go into a Wendy's for lunch if you don't know what the price will be? Just go to the Burger King across the street.
I can't think of anything I've seen this dumb in the fast food sector ever.
*I don't actually use Uber so I'm making some assumptions about how specifically they implement surge pricing.
He knows, he's "quoting" lefty journo fucks who like to pretend that de-banking isn't a real thing (insert 1984 quote here.)
He is a [...] Jew
In this case the extra words are superfluous.
Apparently FDR put up a bunch in the lead up to WWII in an effort to unify the country (so when the populace wouldn't resist when the started drafting young men to go fight another war in Europe.)
If the original picture was posted publicly, I don't see the problem.
If the original picture was posted behind a paywall, I also don't see the problem, but I could see how that would violate the rule.
Wasn't the point of the twitter account to shame whores by posting "modest" AI edits of their publicly posted pics? I fail to see how doing that would violate this rule.
It's more than that. In Christian (and therefore Western) tradition, the rainbow is a symbol of God's promise to never destroy the earth again with a flood. By choosing the rainbow as a symbol of their faggotry, they are consciously flaunting their sin and spitting in the face of God.
Whether or not you are a Christian (or even deist at all), you have to understand just how much these people hate God and Christian morality, and how openly they display that hatred. The Pride movement is perhaps the most widely accepted movement that is so deeply and openly opposed to traditional Western ideals (only Feminism comes close in this regard.)
Well, they did "recast" her to be based on/look like the Margot Robbie Harley. However I don't think they did a very good job of porting the scanned face over (when do they ever) so she looks... wrong.
You can't say "on the nose" in reference to jews here, the mods will delete your post.
(I'd go find the an example but the site doesn't offer search functions for comments by a specific user, or comments at all.)
Welp boys, time for another crusade...
It's SNL, they haven't done anything in good faith since Norm got fired.
He. That thing isn't a woman.
Feel free to contradict me, but the last great Video Game OST was Doom 2016. Far Cry 5 got close with the "Hope County Choir" stuff, but that wasn't the full soundtrack, and even it had some issues due to clearly being written by lefties ("Your truth" isn't a phrase that belongs in any lexicon.)
