Here’s the thing about Republicans and conservatives in general: they not only believe that their beliefs are the only valid beliefs, but they also think that only people who share their beliefs count. This is why they were so shocked by the abortion-driven turnout. They convinced themselves first that no polling…

She looks like a woman in her early/mid forties, and a very good-looking one at that, with a short haircut. If you’re wondering what happened to her, she is a human woman who ages just like every other human woman. If you think she looks like a man, I don’t know who you’re looking at.

I walked out of GOTG2 absolutely convinced that Adam Warlock was going to have the soul stone (the only one yet to be revealed at that time) and be a major part of Infinity War. It just made too much sense. The actual soul stone scene was such a bitter disappointment.

You’re partly right - but the difference isn’t that one party wants to destroy everything and one party wants to help people. Both parties primarily exist to make the rich richer; the difference is that the Republicans want to make the poor poorer and hurt people in general while the Democrats want everyone to do well…

I’m literally dealing with that situation right now supporting code from a guy who just left our project. Just block after block of copy/pasted code with tiny little alterations. Job one for the new guy is going to be refactoring that into something that doesn’t make me want to vomit (and something that we can…

The thing that always makes me laugh about these right-wing “free speech” dweebs is that if you ask them what should be done to combat ideas that one disagrees with, they always respond that the “marketplace of ideas” will sort out the good ideas from the bad. This is the marketplace of ideas working, but the dweebs…

I had the exact same issue with the show. After the first episode, I thought that the show was going to be about the ethics of AI, the nature of consciousness, and morality in general. But it wasn’t. It was about unraveling the mystery of the different timelines, and stupid reveals. I hate that kind of show. I don’t…

Many countries have laws that prevent companies from selling products at an unreasonable rate below cost. (Usually antitrust laws)

All this talk of how Geralt couldn’t possibly be played by anyone except Henry Cavill is hilarious to those of us old enough to remember when everyone was saying that Geralt couldn’t possibly be played by Henry Cavill.

I have nothing to add except to laugh at the sheer number of idiots who responded to you instead of taking exactly one second to check if someone else already did.

I mean, if he wants to investigate, I guess he can. All he’ll find is incidents of vandalism not directed or endorsed by anyone with any influence and countless acts of police brutality that exacerbated (and in some cases caused) situations.

Biden still has the ability to veto an abortion ban, and there’s no chance that the Republicans can get enough votes to override that. So in practice, for the next two years at least, the biggest danger of a Republican congress is gridlock and nothing happening. The big thing is going to be 2024, when the Republicans…

That’s true - you don’t get the deli and the baked goods are not fresh. In a 24-hour store though, they tend to stock in the middle of the night because it’s easy to do without getting in customers’ way. It depends on the time, but in my experience the shelves are nearly fully stocked by about 3:30 or 4 am.

About shopping at the wrong time of day: if you live in a place with a 24-hour grocery and you have a schedule that permits it (like shift work), try shopping in the middle of the night. It is the absolute bar-none best time to be in the store.

her claim isn’t that “toxic masculinity” does not exist, but that those forms of masculinity are not toxic at all, they are righteous.

People don’t usually think of themselves as bad people, no matter how bad they’re being. I can’t say this with certainty, but I’m 99.9% certain that the vast majority of abusers don’t say to themselves “welp, time to abuse my wife for a bit, then I’ll head out to buy some groceries.” Instead, most likely, this guy had…

Yeah, this definitely comes across as a legitimate criticism of the actual show and not a cover for the opinion you had from the moment you found out that they were giving speaking roles to people of color.

Hit dogs holler.

I’m not and was never upset that the stuff in the prequels didn’t match what I’d spent the previous 20 years imagining. I was upset that pretty much everything in the prequels was shitty.

He has been outstanding. He’s doing everything right, and his scenes are the best part of every episode.
