I also just don’t figure out how she is that confident about this emotion she wants to express. Is she really so certain that he absolutely knew what his sexuality was? (I’ve certainly known men who took a long time figuring out that they are gay or bi.) Is she angry that he’s happy? I just don’t know what she wants…

This article is very odd in the way it introduces that hearsay: “Fisher has shared a new statement, detailing the racism he experienced on the Justice League set at the hands of the executive producers....” It then goes on to describe potentially racist things that Fischer did not personally experience, but rather…

That’s fair, and obviously I’m just expressing my frustration at not being able to purchase something that I actually really want to purchase. But Sony had about 11 months of awareness of supply-chain disruption in Chinese superconductors and other parts before they “launched” the product, and currently it seems like…

I would very much like to give the Sony corporation $500 American dollars in exchange for its product that launched last November. Sony is currently unwilling or unable to accept my offer. This may seem like a curious business practice to some, but I’m sure they know what they’re doing.

Going to learn who both of these people are as soon as I figure out how to open up a new browser window and do a google.

Annoying old pedant here. I vote for the phrase “Despite comprising only 30 seconds of footage” instead of “Despite being comprised of only 30 seconds of footage.” Saves you two words. Back in my day, internet posts charged by the word, which was the style at the time. Give me two nominalizations for a transitive…

With any luck there aren’t any other metal objects in that building like forks, or machinery, or hip replacements, or piercings.

Right. Weaponizing wokeness in the worst way possible.

“Oh, you’re telling me that you were drunk? Well if that’s true you were raped. Let’s report this to prove your love to me!” This is pretty messed up stuff. She’s trying to be honest, he’s taking it to extremes then reporting her guilt and shocked reaction at his extremes as a “trauma response.” She did the asshole…

Every time I see kids skateboarding in a parking lot, (1) I think of this Onion article, and (2) the kids prove the article true: https://local.theonion.com/nations-amateur-skateboarders-havent-landed-trick-in-12-1819574936

I don’t feel educated enough on the medical aspect to comment on the disclosure part, but I’ll chime in to say that there is some very controlling bullshit going on if you discover something they have not told you for a year and the person says, “I didn’t tell you because my status makes me suicidal!” Even the vague…

Oh, a number of reasons. You reference one of them: although very few people go to trial in federal court, your concern about defendants taking pleas is still pretty relevant. The government HATES dismissing charges, so you’re very often faced with a client who has to consider taking a good plea offer by pleading to…

I agree with you, although I write separately to note that federal courts won’t accept no-contest pleas these days. (It’s a damn shame too.)

Hey now, we here in America have a long ecumenical circumcision tradition that includes Jews and non-Jews alike. For us non-Jews it’s not about piety but rather because we as a culture are terrified of human sexuality and believed in the late 1800s that non-consensual infant dick surgery was a good way to stop kids…

It’s worth pushing through on Fallen Order. That level gets pretty fun, and the story gets good at that point too. There are fewer slides as it goes on (that ice world really taxes things, doesn’t it?). The biggest problem for me is how short the game is. But it does give you some sense of finality.

What’s the deal with the age-appropriate-but-still-beautiful-and-talented wife?!? Seems like they should have cast someone 30 years younger than him to really meet Hollywood standards.

Well don’t that beat all. 

Definitely makes you think that it wouldn’t be too hard to come up with a good video game-themed amusement park. Obviously getting all the rights would be a nightmare and it would inevitably end up like “Nintendo World” vs. “Sony World” or whatever, but I’d sooner go to that than, say, Disney or Universal.

Right. And that is a possible subtext to the letter, but I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt given that we don’t have any specific evidence supporting that theory. 

I think I disagree with your conclusion while agreeing with a lot of the points you’re making about romantic gestures. I don’t think Dan is advocating for a romantic hail mary here. I think he is advocating for simply being honest with someone who had previously had feelings for her. A mature person can explain her…
