Lol, sounds like the first couple of years of D3 all over again. Maybe D4 will be worth checking out in 3 years, as in wait for the first expansion and then give it another year for things to settle.

It doesn’t, really. It’s a problem with U.S. anti-trust law. Rather than go with a structuralist approach, as in, how many major companies are in the specific market, what’s the size of the companies looking to merge, what’s the level of consolidation, etc., and the recognition that, historically, consolidation is not…

You wouldn’t be flattened. Most of you is made up of water, water doesn’t compress in this environment. After the water, most of you is a combination of other elements forming things like tissues and bones that also don’t compress at the pressures found in the oceans. What do compress are the gas pockets, like lungs…

I can think of something more insufferable...

Jews for Jesus is just one of a number of Protestant Christian organizations that proselytize to Jews, and became the most famous example of the movement, maybe to the extent that it became a generic term for the broader movement.

So ethnically Jewish people who see Jesus as the savior can’t be Jewish anymore?

You have the First Amendment for that. Personality/publicity rights aren’t new, and there are already cases on the books looking at where those rights conflict with speech/expression.

Huh, would’ve expected demo kimi ga mieta for Pocari Sweat from, I wanna say, 2021?

So here’s why this argument is dumb: While Universal Studios and Lego and Hasbro and Walmart and whoever may license and/or sell Wizarding World merch, Rowling doesn’t get a piece of everything else they make or sell.

Hey, remember the Diamond Necklace Affair? The one where a con-woman became the mistress of a cardinal, convinced him she was besties with the queen, arranged a fake correspondence between the two, arranged a clandestine meeting at Versailles between the two (the cardinal actually met a prostitute who looked like the…

Hey, I think A Lot Like Love is underrated, it was constructed similarly to When Harry Met Sally and Four Weddings, had a great cast, and director and DP who actually seemed to care about what they were doing and went for some interesting shots. That said, more of a romantic dramedy than comedy.

Origins was essentially heavily MMO influenced, DA:I much more action oriented.

It’s Shane on water. Mysterious stranger comes into town, town is harassed by outlaws, one family hires the stranger, stranger bonds with the child of the family, kills the outlaws, sails off into the sunset. Plus or minus a couple steps.

Just part of the cost of doing business.

I think you misunderstood, it’s FEDRA in both the games and show, so the rationale about DHS integration wouldn’t make sense when applied to games that span 2013-2033 and onwards.

Worth mentioning the games take place in the 2030s, with the outbreak being in 2013. Also, FEMA as a big bad was already a thing in video games like 2000's Deus Ex.

This was, of course, after he organized the March on Rome in October of 1922.

Or, you know, given how common baldness is, you have it yourself or have family members with it and can recall it from memory, bud.

Alopecia just means bald, and can have various causes; in that regard, male and female pattern baldness are otherwise known as androgenetic alopecia. Hair loss in women is also extremely common, the difference isn’t the incidence rate between men and women as much as it’s the social acceptance of it. Now, if you’re…

The State Department does an annual Trafficking in Persons report that looks into human trafficking around the world and how countries comply with standards set out by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Countries are separated into a tiered system, with tier 1 being countries in compliance with minimum standards…
