Sorry, my timeline doesn’t even believe vaccines work. Everyone here definitely thinks polygraphs are foolproof lie detectors.

Are people really this unaware that polygraph tests don’t work. They are only about 50% accurate, which makes them literally useless. The fact that we use them in court cases is truly scary.

but that would require logic and reasoning and effort!

Here’s a crazy idea: How about some retailer just offer standing purchases that get fulfilled in the order in which they were received? Like walk into Game Stop, put down a $500 cash or gift card deposit, show your photo ID, verify your phone number via SMS, and whenever there’s a PS5 or Xbox Series X available, it is…

If you don’t want to play the games that are that difficult, then don’t. There’s not a paucity of media out there. Its not like Souls players are bombarding the makers of random other adventure games with demands to make it insanely hard so they can find it fulfilling.

Trying to insist that every game have an easy…

It’s funny how often the “every game should be for everyone” apostles fail to see the flaw in their reasoning when they instantly make an amalgamation between a community and its toxic vocal minority.

“While it’s true that we all live in a capitalist hellscape, labor-added value is usually supposed to add value for… you know, the consumer.”

This article blows. Seriously? Guy points out that it’s a with-or-against culture, doesn’t mention anybody, and you throw J.K. Rowling in, saying-not-saying that he probably-did-but-he-didn’t he was referring to that?

It takes a bit of gymnastics to tie him to J. K. Rowling’s TERF war all to make his comments seem far more incendiary than they were, but it effectively proves his point. I’m wondering if this article isn’t dripping with sarcasm I’m not hearing, or was just an effort to make a bean joke that didn’t quite land.

With the caveat that I have not read Mr. Beans’ statement in full, I have to say the parts quoted in this article sound like really good points. And then this article sounds like a perfect example of what he is talking about. Maybe the author of this article meant it to be like a meta ironic commentary? Like what bean…

I’m pretty sure he read the room incredibly well.

I’m not going to wade into whether there is an element of racism in D&D since I’m not familiar with its depiction of races, characters or themes, but knowing how old it is, I imagine it has some outdated language and tropes that may be racist.

“There is no excuse for donning Blackface.” That’s not how art works. You can and should debate it, not buy it, not support it, make your own work to counter it, but saying there’s no reason for a subject ever to exist for any reason never works out.

There was an SNL sketch from a few years ago where Bill Hader plays Al Pacino playing different people accused of murder for HBO specials. One of them involves “Pacino” wearing blackface to play Conrad Murray. He even looks at the actor playing a judge, who is Black, to ask if it’s okay. The joke seemed to be that Al…

“DrowFace? In this day and age??! No!”

And by all means, let’s school BOB ODENKIRK on how to write and perform comedy.  FFS.

Hey remember when Jon Hamm did blackface for the 30 Rock Live show? I thought it was funny, and even meaningful that the whole point of the sketch is that the network was scared of having more than one black lead in their tv shows (Kenneth: “A rule NBC still follows today!”).

Odenkirk’s response similarly misses the point...Odenkirk and Cross’ intentions are irrelevant 

There’s a difference between racism and making fun of racism. 

Sorry to be the one to tell you this man but you’re bad at reading.
