Same exact thing happened to me yesterday! Concerning...

Yeah my Wii U version froze for several seconds yesterday after I clocked a Moblin. I’ve also had three non-Moblin crashes.

She endorsed Bernie, not the other way around — unless he endorsed her for a position I didn’t know about. Still, though, you’re right. She really doesn’t deserve her progressive cred.

George from the Famous Five comes to mind. In the books, she (if that pronoun applies, which I don’t think it does) is identified as a tomboy, but consistently expresses a desire to be recognized as male. The books are from the 1940s, so of course that wish is not granted, but it persists throughout the series.

He also said he “wanted to make a statement,” which seems to move it closer to your definition.

God, I HATED The Sun Also Rises. But the final in the class I read it for had a question about which book we read was the “most innovative” or something, and I chose it because I was pretty sure my teacher would like that answer most.

All you’re saying here is “not everyone agrees with you.” Well, I’ve got some news for you, buddy: not everyone agrees with you, either. So you’re no more in your rights to state that this article is definitively a joke than anyone else is to make any other definitive claim.

I think that part of Heather’s point is that just using the game as a “playground” is more political than you’re giving it credit for. Even the most gameplay-oriented player can’t view the game as just an abstraction.

also, you know who else claimed not to want “people who have contempt for [their] culture and people” in their country? NAZIS!!!!!

you know who have ALWAYS been minorities in their own country? MINORITIES!!!!! (non-immigrant minorities that is)

Yeah — the CNN article also mentions that they had to march at the very back of the parade the past two years, so I guess they sort of knew what to expect from these people. It makes me wonder what changed this year. I recall that the Trump administration said it would be switching from Obama’s focus on diversifying…

The former. From the CNN article:

This is true, but he’s trying to keep the schools open for the additional 13 days, right? While it’s almost certainly true that they got closed in the first place because somebody realized that they could get extra pay by cutting out a paycheck for the teachers, I think it still makes sense in the short term to just…

Too late. Justin Timberlake already did.

ugggh I really don’t want to start an argument with you because I agree with this point in general and I almost always fall into the really strongly anti-whitewashing camp (and I do think they should have chosen Japanese-American actors) but... GiTS is a Japanese franchise about Japanese characters that takes place in…

Haha yeah it’s really no big deal, it just irked me a (teeny tiny) bit.

I know this is a technicality, but since you yourself said “technically”... Vladimir Putin is not Asian. He was born in St. Petersburg, which is in Europe. He is ethnically Russian, and the majority of Russians live in Europe. And as an ethnic Russian, he is considered — and this does matter, regardless of what other…

That is true. As someone pointed out above, though, weak for a Zelda game is very strong for the field in general.

I actually don’t think that’s the consensus? It’s true that it’s generally considered to be overhyped, but my impression is that it’s pretty well regarded but a bit of a slog.

Matisyahu was talking generally. In this case, justice was served — but it often isn’t.
