For many now-extinct tribes, American expansion literally caused the end of their world. But even when the US “merely” took away the land and killed or assimilated most of the tribe, there is good reason to call those events apocalyptic.

You’re right in that DLC doeesn’t mean a game is unfinished. But Gamefreak’s using the DLC as a vehicle to finish the game. They could’ve just added the 207 new Pokemon in post-launch with a patch, instead of launching it alongside the DLC.
The fact that in November modders found the models, textures, sounds, and some…

I think the bigger news to me here is that Gamefreak is saying flat out that they shipped an unfinished game and are patching in all the other Pokemon that weren’t originally in.

I’m just admiring the last few seconds of that clip. He ends the anecdote on a little cliffhanger, reaches for the mug of water, and when Fallon asks him to resolve the cliffhanger he adds a button to the whole anecdote. Then he takes a sip of water.

You don’t get to complain about SimCity and Gradius III being ports, and then drop a list of titles that is chock full of ports.

Appearance of impropriety is irrelevant if there’s no proven impropriety

Yeah, that’s why I asked. I didn’t really expect an answer because no matter what you say these days.... I feel like the words matter more than the meaning or the intonation... which sucks. I think that the best way to educate someone is to help them, which is obviously a small group. But it seems it’s easier to just…

You’re right, absolutely.

so far, just in this thread, I’ve gotten 4 or 5 different and exclusive answers about what the actual differences are.

Yeah there’s overlap and enough of one that if I don’t feel like opening myself up like a book to complete strangers (like right now) I’ll just say “I’m bisexual” or “I’m queer” or just pretend I’m straight just to avoid the conversation altogether. I have encountered bisexuals who would say things that suggest that…

I want to start at the bottom and work my way back through your response if that’s ok. I’m not doing it for any other reason as Objective Adjectives is a completely new thing for me, I’ve legit never heard or it before and never honestly knew it. But reading that, I now understand why a lot of what I write can be....…

Pansexual here. Figuring it out and landing on it as a word I use to describe myself meant doing a lot of reading, talking to people, watching (helpful and unhelpful) youtube videos, personal reflection, and... Yeah I hear you, it can feel convoluted at times and honestly I don’t really like wading into discussion…

I think you hit on it hard in one of your comments above—it’s an ongoing conversation, and the nuances are very individualized. The discussion around what it means to be bi vs pan just isn’t settled. As a bi person married to an enby person, I can tell you with absolute certainty that being bi does not mean being…

I’ll throw my hat in here, because I’ve also experienced some confusion over the terms (being fairly late to the party). I’m a panromantic aesexual, so my perspective is a bit different as well; take what I say with a grain of salt, here.

Stop. You're bad at it.

I think the main worry these days is that his handlers have lost control of him, mostly because he’s fired most of them.

Absolute truth. I cannot imagine the cognitive dissonance required to claim that an individual holds certain principles (like truth being of paramount importance, justice needing to be equitable, etc.) while defending bullshit in their own ranks just so “the other team” doesn’t win.

If my preferred candidate does…

Yes, this. Johnson only pretends to be a moron. He deliberately projects the appearance of a lovable doofus, because he knows it lets him get away with far more than he might otherwise, and earns him support from working-class sorts that would normally despise his upper class self. I mean, start with the fact that his…

You are right. I am not a lawyer on the internet.
