This, admittedly, is not completely fair, but every time I hear one of these after-the-fact stories, I can’t help but think “how brave of this person to sit on the story right up until that celebrity becomes radioactive enough that I can share it with no risk.”

Well, if they’re employees of a company selling his product their job is, in a sense, help this guy (and many other corporations) make money. So, if they’re at work, then no, they very much don’t have anything better to do other than help him (and millions of other people) make money. 

Duke Leto also spells it out for Paul that the great houses look to the Atreides for leadership, and that this threatens the emperor, so the stage has been set for a war.

Unrelated to my other comment: Fuck this buggy ass site and all of GMG in general. Some of the ads are so broken that they freeze the page entirely or cause flashing and stuttering problems that look potentially seizure inducing for photosensitive individuals.

Read all the books and cite all the economic “rules” you want, nobody cares what a thing “should have” cost if it had been adjusted for inflation all along. It wasn’t, and we just care what it cost now compared to a year ago.

The “reality” is all economic “rules” are completely made up and selectively “enforced.”

Now,…

To be fair (to be fayah), I tried learning to draw for about 6 months or so. It is the HARDEST thing I’ve ever tried to do. I can definitely understand someone who wants to draw, but can’t, turning to this sort of thing instead. (Instead of turning to AI, the best thing would be to get art lessons, but not everybody…

That's not an ad hominem, says the guy named after it.

I’m not saying this is a good example of moral consistency, I just object to the idea that the Right wouldn’t say we eat ourselves without the times it’s just hysterics. They would. The validity or invalidity of the scandal doesn’t matter as far as that goes.

For a website that regularly spotlights cosplaying women it seems a little weird to basically demean them as “fluff”. I’m sure the hundreds of hours they spent on their costumes and makeup didn’t seem like “fluff” to them.

again? It’s a different dude.

The director’s cut will be three times as long. Not because of restored scenes, but because of all the slow-mo.

Just suck it up and get black plates? Seems better than waiting an entire generation because you don’t like the base color. Though I do think Sony should offer different color SKUs (or at least just white, though I could see OG grey being popular)

How long is it?

I wish I could find it (oh, Google) but on Reddit there was someone claiming to be a Google engineer saying that Google’s search engine works the way it does because it’s more or less programmed to think it’s smarter than you are.

My wife hasn’t played or seen the games or read the books, but she enjoys fantasy shows: producer guy’s target audience. She couldn’t keep track of Foltest, Calanthe (after season 1), Vizimir or anyone else because they don’t have meaningful roles. Their actions mean nothing. Their lines are forgettable. Things that…

Music. Hope that helps.

Like on one hand, if TikTok states that anyone can use these commercially, then that seems rather open and shut.

On the other hand, even if it is, it still seems kinda shitty for a big company to use a clip from a social media site to advertise for a game instead of making their own

Imagine if your favorite pizza place that you’ve been going to for decades suddenly changed their menu to sushi.

They can recast Cavill all they want tbh, but the show runners do need to go. Their decision making has been awful from the start, and the show’s only gone further off the rails with each season.

(And no, the decision making problems do not include “cast a black person”, if that’s a problem to anyone then they have…

If you want a good breakdown, there’s a tech website that rhymes with TheDirge that did a live breakdown of the case for all 5 days including how the Judge reacted to individual witnesses.
