How is going to prison not a punishment?

For the record, South Korea is infamously unreasonable on this matter. They regularly jail pacifist religious preachers for conscientious objection despite very obviously meeting all of the qualifications the court cited.

I feel the same way about Xbox that you feel about Playstation, but agreed that it’s better for everyone if we don’t have console exclusives. I’m never going to buy another Xbox again anyway, but I honestly wouldn’t have any problems if the games I love on my PS5 went over to Xbox. It benefits consumers to have that…

That last point is a big/interesting question to me. If MS & Sony are no longer console or storefront competitors and MS is just a (very big) publisher that also offers Game Pass, would Sony be willing to allow Game Pass on their console? If they did, they would obviously get a cut of the subscriptions, so I think it…

I’m always a fan of more people playing games. Exclusivity is an anti-consumer practice and I’d love Playstation fans to get the games I play on the console they want.

As far as unintentional endings go, this was an okay one though. It establishes the cyclical nature and asks the question where in the loop the show takes place, or if they even take place within the same loop.

I mean, Q isn’t exactly connected to time quite the same way. Even if the end of season 2 is the last time Q sees Picard before evaporating in a puff of logic, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t times Q had been around in Picard’s future.

Fascinating that this is just becoming a well-known thing for a lot of people. I kind of assumed everyone knew about the dangers of re-heating rice, particularly rice that got left out for a while, but evidently not. Indeed in the UK our NHS recommends not re-heating rice more than a day old.

I think the original connection to *fried* rice was the fact that some people make fried rice from leftover plain rice which they may not have stored properly.  Frying cooked rice will kill any bacteria in it, but it won’t break down any toxins that the bacteria have produced.

I’ll wait for the official Joe Rogan take, thanks...

This isnt anything like the chinese food syndrome nonsense. This is just basic food handling safety and I dont see anything racist about that.  MSG does make many things better and it helps with reducing sodium intake too.

If I can’t trust randos off of TikTok to provide me with a comprehensive overview of various hazards in the world, who can I trust?

Well written and informative! More writing like this on the site please.

The whole point of having F U money is saying F U to more money.

I don’t want Talking Heads to get back together if they don’t enjoy it. They don’t seem to have the Fleetwood Mac alchemy of thriving on pissed off energy.

There was some good stuff in S2, but I’m satisfied where S1 ended.

Nah, The Root and Deadspin dropped comments because Great Hill Partners fucked the writers on those verticals so bad that they all left and had to be resurrected with inferior writers and independent contractors that they could pay less and would “stick to sports.”

I didn’t get the sense watching the last season that anything was unresolved. I’m sure the writers and producers had ideas, but I was satisfied with where Season 4 ended. They also claim that they weren’t making it up as they went along but seasons 3 & 4 absolutely felt that way, and I say that as a Westworld…

Bergman wouldn’t miss an episode of Dallas, according to his diaries (RW Fassbinder was also a huge fan). Terrence Malick is a Zoolander super fan up to the point that Sean Penn had Ben Stiller record a video message in character for Malick’s birthday. Kubrick loved The Jerk and White Men Can’t Jump, among others.…

on the other hand I’d hardly describe Fielder’s work as lowbrow
