“How could they, after listening to three and a half weeks of testimony about how I was an un-credible person, not...believe a word that came out of my mouth?”

He’s going to be really upset when he hears about this new western lib fanservice anime featuring gender bending as its central plot point:

Ahahaha, you really think a random piece of merchandise is more canonical than the actual manga? Yeah, you’re not grasping at straws at all.

I do find the notion of a fan of anime and manga calling gender bending content “western propaganda” quite amusing.

Dude, official sources from outside of the manga have been wrong before. At some point they confirmed that Shanks was a Yonkou when he met Luffy, turned out that was proven wrong in the manga. I’m not saying Yamato will end up as a confirmed guy for the rest of the story, I don’t think it’s Oda’s intention either. But…

Fuck yeah.

Yeah I knew Ashley Johnson more recently from Blindspot, a goofy FBI procedural that ended a year or two ago. She was the science geek and her on-screen dad was Bill Nye playing himself. It was dumb and fun!

Nope. Listen, I’ve loved Diablo from day 1, played Hellfire, used to wake up before school to grind for runes in D2, and enjoyed D3 post auction house, but there is no way in hell I’m downloading Immortal. Yeah, I could play for free, but number of downloads is still a metric Blizzard uses; number of “potential…

The author concludes with a lukewarm it’s complicated and a metaphorical shrug emoji while saying that they might be wrong.  I am agreeing that they are wrong.

The title is actively encouraging people to take the first hit for free and risk getting sucked in though. Like you see the problem but you’re still flippant about steering people into harm’s way. I understand where you’re coming from—I played the game and didn’t spend anything either. And if I wrote about games…

I absolutely am in favor of banning gambling, since it’s a behavior which preys on the average person’s poor understanding of statistics (as well as certain exploitable aspects of human psychology) and it has no positive impact of which I’m aware.

This is a terrible take.

“Sure, they’re giving out <addictive substance> for free, but we can just stop once they start asking for money. We probably won’t be addicted by that point...”

Many people can do what the article describes, play the fun free parts of the game and then walk once they start asking for money. A smaller percentage will…

so if everyone wears a mask it will...

It does if the mask prevents the saliva and other fluids containing the virus from getting to your nose and mouth. I read a study saying wearing a mask is about 80% effective at preventing YOU from contracting the virus. It’s not 100%, but if you were told one restaurant was 80% lower chance of you getting food…

I was just telling my husband how many comments I see on Reels (or however you view TikToks on instagram) are young people asking “What is that song ? What is the name of this song?” I’m like how do they know nothing of 70s or 80s music? Barely anyone under age 30 knew of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” when that TikTok guy…

“WTF is this?” one person referencing Almalki’s comment asked FaZe Clan’s account. “I don’t agree with how he went about it, but it’s his religion and we have to respect it just like people apart of the lgbtq community should be respected,” another replied.

When I was growing up in Germany, “dealers” were showrooms. You went and looked and sat and test drove. And then you’d take an order form and ordered the vehicle as you wanted. You then financed it and/or paid a deposit and got the car some months later. The price was the price.

This is a simple fix. Have one or two examples of a vehicle for test drives and viewing. And have a place where boomers can sit down with someone and order the vehicle the want.

Salespeople add zero value to the experience. I know more about the cars I’m interested n then they do. They don’t even know the simple things like what they actually have in inventory. Everything they do they look up on the computer, and they are the one thing between me and a good price on a car. If I can actually…
