In more ways than one, in that the pendulum has swung toward downplaying the contributions of Lee and Gygax in the interest in getting retribution for Kirby and Arneson. It’s unquestionable that Gygax unfairly exploited Arneson’s work and concealed his contributions, but I also think that Kuntz clearly has a tendency…

He’s Anakin Skywalker’s grandson, isn’t he?

Broth veggies usually include celery, which is a natural source of nitrates.

Hey, guess what? Literally all of that stuff is also in vegetarian food. Some of it is even naturally occurring in and derived from vegetables.

Right. This is why a pizza isn’t an open-faced sandwich, it’s a topped flatbread. Wrapping/enclosing/sandwiching a filling in bread = sandwichoid. Cooking a filling enclosed in a dough = dumplingoid.

Don’t you wish Kinja had a ‘block user’ function?

Aside from being one of the most obnoxious commenters on Splinter, which really takes some doing, this person has also distinguished themselves at AV Club for their full-throated, spittle-flecked defense of the Star Wars prequels.

I’m surprised to hear that this salad is common to the point of being a cliche, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.

I actually kind of like his performance in Deathstalker. He’s so incredibly miscast as an evil wizard. Like, he plays it as if he’s one of Seinfeld’s neighbors who thinks he’s an evil wizard.

“The Landlord’s Game” was a satire of capitalism. Monopoly only is in the loosest sense. It certainly doesn’t have textual critical references to capitalism like this game does to socialism.

This game isn’t attacking pure socialism/communism, though. References to minimum wages, small business owners, etc.; American liberal cultural signifiers (veganism, plastic straw bans); symbols like the red rose used by groups like the UK Labour Party and the DSA.

I’m actually kind of surprised that a large publicly-traded entertainment company would release such an openly ideological product under their own name. I mean, like how most publishers have a specific imprint for releasing right-wing books, I’d have expected Hasbro to have a subsidiary named Fountainhead Games or…

Oh! I remember her. The spoiled rich girl who was inexplicably loyal to a creepy, philandering, balding would-be tyrant. Also she was in that movie once.

50,000 views????? Wow!!!!

It’s not an argument about nutrition. It’s an argument about whether John Mackey’s uninformed opinions are newsworthy. The fact that he’s said ignorant shit before is relevant to the question of whether his latest pronouncements should be transmitted to the public free of charge.

It’s a trophic efficiency problem. No matter how bad for the environment it is to grow a thousand tons of soybeans, the impact will always be lower per calorie than if you go and feed those soybeans to cattle and then eat the cattle.

There is no logical fallacy here. I am arguing that Mackey’s random thoughts on nutrition are not newsworthy, not that he’s incorrect. The only reason this non-expert’s musings are being presented to us is that he’s a wealthy CEO.

Chipotle mayo with the calamari? What the fuck?

Whoever came up with that salad should be banned from kitchens forever. Buffalo mozzarella, avocado, and creamy balsamic dressing? I can just see someone saying “this salad isn’t gooey enough, we need to make it creamier”. Olives, tomatoes, and... roast pecans? Also, “black olives”? You’re serving buffalo mozzarella…

He tried to enact an absolutely ridiculous “power grid resilience plan” that was just a massive bailout for coal and (old, shitty) nuclear power plants at the expense of renewables. Luckily, the Secretary of Energy can’t wipe his ass without getting sign-off from an independent regulatory board. In this case, FERC…
