Whisper was always bound for a Nerf.  The weapon is, “Holy moly this is OP!” fun, but the question is why did Bungie make the same error twice.  Black Hammer had the same perk and it got nerfed to hell too, so why introduce the same gun with the same perk and now we end up with the same result.  The perk is what makes…

I assume the meaning is that if it’s a wild Bulbasaur, you don’t know its gender. It’s a wild animal. But when you have a known trainer who has her own Psyduck, she can tell you that this specific Psyduck is a male. It’s like when referring to a dog you see being walked, you can say “he” or “she” is very cute but if…

If all the lands had been marked identically, or all had been marked randomly, that might be plausible. But the marks were specific enough to identify which specific card was present. Three sets of marks, distinct, on only the three cards (each a playset of four) most critical to the deck’s function? That cannot…

I get violated by the TSA every time I fly, as a trans lady. Consequently, I tend to fly a lot less after coming out. It’s not fun to cry at airports but or to be so publicly violated.

Certainly beats “system stability” updates that are nothing more than anti-piracy measures.

The tricky thing is that isolating China and *not* doing business there might yield worse results from a human rights standpoint.

“It was very surreal. Generally people who are caught doing this always deny it, ‘No, no, no.’ He didn’t. He continued.

Game system emulators aren’t illegal, as has been proven in court multiple times. Using copyrighted code (be it bios, firmware, or ROMs), on the other hand, is.

For the last time, there’s been multiple US court cases, and while companies would absolutely LOVE for emulation to be illegal so they could talk like you, it isn’t. Emulators are totally legal. Pirating ROMs isn't and that's definitely spurred on by emulation, but emulators are totally legal.

‘they’ve come out heavily in favour of Shamima Begum’s right to Legal Aid (this is monetary aid for those in little income to access representation) to appeal having her citizenship revoked’

I’m inclined to agree with you, but Solo already had an appearance of Darth Maul that would be very confusing to anyone who had not watched the cartoons.

I think it has more to do with trying to force parents into acknowledging of your adulthood.

One can assume when the definition of a fictitious person’s sexuality is declared by the owner of the said IP that it’s ok to consider it the correct gender to use and not an assumption.

For all we know this doesn’t look at all like a choose your adventure rpg like AC odyssey, so the comparison is not appropriate at all. They want their story to a have a specific, recognisable character for their franchise, it doesn’t always need to be about choice in every single game, sometimes experiencing a fixed…

Oh my sweet summer child

I’m Salvadorian and not all that proud of my home country when it comes to how far punishing abortion goes. Women have miscarried and have been accused of illegal abortions, and have gone to jail over it. Girls younger than 12 are raped by gangs or family and forced to carry to term. This is our trajectory.

Yep. While there will be extensive media coverage and discussions about Assange and his rights, let’s spare a thought for the woman he allegedly raped who was denied any justice because he hid like a coward until the statute of limitations passed.

I can think of plenty. Racial and gender integration. Law. Licensing. Environmental protection. Human and civil rights. Social progress. Rural electrification and education. Military. Free tax filing where all the tax data has already been filled out and calculated for you and you just get a refund check or bill…

Similarly watched a slew of inappropriately rude, sexual, cussing previews when I took two girls (primary school-aged) to see A Wrinkle in Time. I actually went out to the lobby to ask WTF?
