As a huge fan of both i ceratinly noticed.

Just never really said anything cos it felt like if you ever said that to someone they’d be like: “oh really....that’s...cool............” Top Gun is neither the coolest nor nerdiest thing.

I suppose with Maverick being awesome and all maybe it would feel less spongy to point…

Or, it was such an obvious homage everyone assumed everyone else realized it?

Anyone that can afford a $100k luxury sedan can most certainly splurge on delivery of a larger TV. Also, at the age they could afford such a car, they are probably unable to lift anything heavier than an iPad, nor able to clearly see a screen smaller than 70”.

You’re “only joking”, the internet’s most impenetrable defense (🙄🙄🙄), so I’m walking into a land mine here, but... There’s a difference between continuing to support a known piece of shit and having supported in the past a person newly discovered to be a piece of shit. Obviously.

Aw jeez.

If anything this feels more like the prequel to The Menu.

I haven’t seen The Menu but isn’t this The Menu?

Qanon warned us about the danger of groomers.

Even if she doesn’t literally take a royalty cut from every copy of the game, buying Hogwarts Legacy is the same as saying that you don’t mind that the franchise is the product of a virulent transphobe, or that the premise of this game in particular showcases some of the most nakedly bigoted elements of her setting.

I generally agree here, outside of the “tacit support” part. It isn’t a matter of absolutes. Rather, I believe that Rowling’s views should be a factor in one’s purchasing decision. Buying the game doesn’t make you evil, but at the same time, it is a compromise (for those who disagree with her views, which should be…

I’m pretty sure that the person you’re replying to is arguing that WB bought a license because it is a well established franchise with many fans. This part:

There is no unfortunate turn of events. The transport truck driver is obviously driving an oversized load without the necessary precautions in place to ensure public safety. 

Never compare what you know in your small circle to the rest of the world.

When you have 30 entities, it’s not a big deal to go to 29 because one bought up another. When that’s gone on for years, and you’re down to lets say 5 entities, it’s an inherently bigger deal for one to buy up another and take that number down to 4; the same value exists across those 5 as existed across the 30, but…

I’ve noticed lately that with these sorts of posts, cryptobros no longer fall over themselves to post a thesis in the comments describing how wrong we all are about cryptocurrency.

“mistakenly published”

The difference between that freelance artist and the “normal job”, however, is that all the time spent on that project can’t be spent on other projects.

Yeah. I spent $20 on it, had a fun couple months.... and now I think I’m more or less done with it. Because the season turnaround is just way too fast for $10.

MKE guy here: I've been following the story since details began to emerge, and it sounds terrible. You bring up some fair questions about the boy's true intentions and his understanding of the consequences of his actions. No matter the cause nor the intention, charging this kid as an adult is reprehensible. If the…

If that is your worst Christmas Morning .... then you have quite  a privileged and sheltered life.
