The ironic part is that while the cast of the Witcher games and books generally are white, the message of Geralt and his adventures leans a lot more towards what these idiots would call “SJW” territory. The Elves and Dwarves of the Witcher universe are fill ins for just about any minority, and they’re usually unfairly…

Sure, but that’s not what was being argued here. For starters, Habeas Corpus primarily applies to potentially illegal government detention of humans, neither chimp is “detained” by the government; one is in an animal sanctuary, the other is kept as a pet in a lot. Beyond that, they weren’t even using the writ…

Not a lot of lines to draw here, not super complicated. Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian oligarch, owns the Renova Group and he’s also officially and closely tied to the Kremlin. The Renova Group owns Columbus Nova which purchased part or all of Sony Online Entertainment and renamed it Daybreak. That’s not a super…

Being a person, under US law (or indeed most law systems) burdens you with certain requirements as well as rights, you need to follow the laws and understand them fully; a chimpanzee (at least so far as we know) is incapable of coming to such an understanding of the law, this is the right decision. There are humans…

Great, so when can we start eating the bird eggs?

The masks don’t actually help prevent you from getting sick, they help you to prevent spreading sickness.

I mean given that they’re half supposed to be a sort of joke, yeah I can run with it. Not everything on that album is amazing but there’s a lot of great songs in there, including Toxicity imho.

System of a Down and Tool are still great bands...just don’t get too obsessed over them and you’re fine.

You could do the same thing with a traditional database system, there’s no reason to involve blockchain other than it being a buzzword that some people like.

It’s based on blockchain for no reason...so probably won’t work out.

I mean, I like a blowjob...I just don’t like the gagging sound, personally. If a lady is with me, they can just like...work the tip and the shaft without needing to choke themselves. The gagging isn’t really necessary.

I agree. I love a lot of the art and even some of the lore of the Destiny series, but the actual game is so unappealing to me. An almost entirely loot-based leveling system is unappealing on pretty much every level to me.

I guess you could call it a “trend” in the sense being muscular is a trend.

Not sure if that’s called attractive or not, but it’s what happens when you lift weights and build up your shoulder muscles. So a lot of male models lift weights to get their physiques and it’s just a consequence of that.

Here’s the thing, Gates is probably underestimating the costs of such a deadly flu pandemic. The so-called Spanish Flu of 1918 killed about that many people by official estimates, but given that reporting at the time was very limited it’s possible that number is a gross underestimate. For one thing, for propaganda…

Let’s be clear here, this 14 year old did understand what he was doing was wrong. Here’s the original article on it from Kotaku:

The reality is that all of this a bandage, trying to avoid the truth of what needs to happen. US Schools need to be fully funded and federally funded alone. The system in which schools are primarily funded by local property tax is utterly broken, rich kids in rich school districts get a better education, those rich…

And then it giveth again. In a cycle of giveth and taketh until it eventually explodes and deflates.

You know what, i’m gonna kinda defend gold negotiating guy. Far too often players just want to skip negotiating pay, but free lancers in the “real world” will always negotiate their pay and expenses. If the dude had built a character that was fastidious about money and he was playing his character, then it’s on the…

Nazi says what? Let’s reiterate here, the police weren’t satisfied with killing this man, they further wanted to invade his privacy by using his finger to unlock his phone. Why? Even according to their version of events, the man in question had done nothing to show he was involved with criminal gangs or terrorist…
