I’ve rarely been happy to hear someone I enjoy lost a job. But 40K is absolutely a world of fans in need of this kind of servicing. And if you think LOTR dorks are into lore you have zero fucking clue about 40K dorks.

This is the insidious utility of someone like KW. He can say something with a tiny kernel of realness to it and use it as an anchor to hold down all the insane bullshit that comes with it.

Racist math. “We might lose ten dollars on regional advertising”

Disney owns ABC and Marvel. And if there is anything I know about that corporate structure and their product:

This is the sad reality of right vs real. You don’t want to blame the victim, in this case some guys who were just trying to have a little harmless joke. But also that victim should have known beforehand what they were walking in to. That’s real. Cuban is an asshole. You’re going into a room with an asshole. That…

Right, and there’s nothing that they seem to be able to lock down with a patent or new technology. It’s entirely depending on exclusivity deals.

It’s pretty telling of the mentality of the HWR that the focus is on the vaccination angle. To me that’s something you do not have to attribute to a moral stance, just misinformed paranoia. Sad and harmful, but not innately tied to hate.

Both films are, as Modus alluded, “good” in the same way. For one scene or one aspect that was so special at that time it blinded us to the fact that it was attached to something otherwise unremarkable.

if you can’t tie specific names to these actions you’re fabricating a strawman. You’re not going to sway anyone of substance with a strawman and whatever ideology you represent here if one can be sussed out comes off looking worse for your participation in it.

I never got the priest and nun thing and mostly remember the perception of their use of a man in the final stages of dying from HIV/AIDS being exploitative.

This menstrual product...fucks?

I think the consumer they target is going to use it in their cul-de-sac and keep it in the garage. They will slip a disk the one time they try to load one up in a truck to actually take somewhere.

That seat height is completely unrealistic for this bike. That’s basically low-rider posture, fine if you want to take every bump on 3" of air and your tailbone. Riding height is probably a good ten inches higher, it’s just not photogenic.

Mid drive is nice, you’ll get more power to the rear because of gearing unlike a…

The very thing that makes this seem more difficult should actually make it less. Dimming or “dark mode” is old tech for widgets and digital displays. And for this money I’d think the level of display tech controlling your HUD should be at least on par with 20 year old video games.

I’m the only one who thinks it kinda has the hips and shoulders and forehead of a Dodge Charger?

There is really nothing interesting about 20th century “riverboats”. They are not “boats” they are marginally floating legal loopholes to skirt gambling laws.

Counterpoint: They failed to find some new “edge” to replace the stuff they could no longer get away with doing.

If only The End had won an oscar and been nominated for another then those soties about Emma Watson being so upset by shooting uncomfortable scenes would have been pitched as a “well it was all worth it.”

Talk about wildly misplaced over-confidence in one area and zero in another.

“3,000"? With a gun? From a guy who looks like a recurring secondary bad-guy from Justified.

Damn the old days were wild. So few software developers in the world that you’d get your 18th century strategy games from the same people you’d get your dot-matrix greeting card printing software.
