Waiting 100 days would be a mistake. RIGHT NOW some Republicans in the Senate are willing to vote against Trump. In 3 months, the outrage of 1/6/21 will have died down some and those Republicans may not feel so strongly about sending a message to the ex-president.

“I’m being told to take action on the matter”

“nowadays this would barely make news.”

Seriously, playing internet spaceships at home alone is fighting Covid

(The other 18 claims were withdrawn over the summer, which could be seen as the influence of Dawson’s money on the case.)

Okay, so this is massively stupid. An actor’s job is, quite by definition, to portray someone/thing they’re not. Should Dustin Hoffman not have been cast in Rain Man? Was Daniel Day-Lewis the wrong choice for My Left Foot because he doesn’t actually have CP? I don’t think these films are any less effective or…

Well, I’m sure there’ll be some uproar gainst Riz once they hear of it.

Joe Biden won the election.

But they own the IP, “fan projects” is the happy clappy way of saying “stolen IP”.

I totally disagree. This total mod directly uses Nintendo’s art and program assets. They should object to it for multiple reasons.

Man it’s so awesome how his body crumbles due to the brain injury he has just sustained. I love watching him lay there and struggle to regain consciousness.

We’re just supposed to listen and then adjust…

Of course, you can go ahead and *ask* that people not use quotes from Muslim religious texts in their artwork. But artists do not need to accede to this request. And, when artists do quote Muslim religious texts in their artwork, you can complain about it. But the complaint is not one that the artist needs to take…

Not recently but I’ve played EVE for a considerable time. I’m okay with this. Null-sec corps kind of viewed Empire space as plebs, and if it weren’t for the markets they had to interact with at all, they’d largely never stoop to ever interact with it. They’d rather live comfortably and self sufficiently behind their…

I’m surprised because...

Came here to say exactly this. People with the predisposition to fall for snake oil pitches will fall for almost anything that is framed correctly and fed to them the right way. Critical thinking and skepticism are vital to navigating the modern world without being duped. It’s one reason having a higher education is…

The Republicans probably would have just run her for Senate. 

The wellness movement is largely built on the magical thinking we can control our fate with the correct behavior. Surely if we do enough yoga and eat only the correct things and find inner peace we’ll never ever get sick.
