Pennsylvania’s Central Bucks School District was one of the places where Moms for Liberty lost big in the 2023 elections, with a right-wing school board majority swept out and replaced with Democrats. On Monday night, Karen Smith—who had been serving on the board in the Democratic minority prior to this election—was sworn in as the school board president, part of the wave of change from the anti-LGBTQ+, pro-book-banning board voted out in November. She made a powerful symbolic choice when it came to what book she’d be sworn in on: not the Bible or another religious book, but a stack of frequently banned books.

    How dare you insinuate my first wife from Harvest Moon 64 is a lush and only likes me for my dog… Wait a minute.

      Never played it, just the SNES one. I liked it and am curious so maybe I’ll check it out on emulation or something.

        It’s definitely worth on emulation too. Making use of 2-4x speed makes things go by a lot quicker if you enjoy efficiency. Getting around and time management were always big in the older games if you wanted to err toward the side of completionist or being a slut lol.

        All my buddies went with Ann or Maria. I would’ve gone with Elli or Potpurri next myself.

        Elli got them mom vibes and Potpurri was just cute.

          I can not remember what version it (the playstation one?) was but if you did not get a wife by a certain point in the game she would just show up and force you to marry her. I guess they did not have it programed to be forever alone.
