It is canon, but when there are seeming disagreements between canon sources, the notions of interpretation and perspective are useful in wading through the inconsistencies.

Don’t make the perfect into the enemy of the good. We’re under no illusions that gun control, properly implemented, will ever get rid of murder completely. That doesn’t mean that we can’t make reasonable efforts to reduce the murder rate and particularly reduce the frequency and casualties of mass violence.

Wagner was definitely antisemitic, but it’s debatable whether that subtext is actually present in the Ring Cycle. If it’s there at all, it’s in Das Rheingold rather than Die Walkure. 

The console versions of D3 don’t need perpetual online connectivity.

The tech isn’t widespread yet, but diesel fuel itself can be manufactured in a carbon-neutral fashion (or nearly so).

The real trouble is when you hold the door open for someone, and you find yourself unable to figure out when to let the door go as a long stream of people file in right after.

Based on that description, it probably is plagiarism.  It sounds a whole lot like paraphrasing or rephrasing someone else’s content without citing them as a source.  That’s definitely a type of plagiarism.

This is turning into the video game journalism equivalent of Shattered Glass.

6 year marriage. They knew each other for 15 years. 

I don’t think the idea is really to be a true competitor to Steam. I think the idea is to earn enough from the storefront to provide Discord an additional reliable revenue stream.

76 is also the sort of game that would need its own launcher anyway if it wasn’t wrapped in a larger company-driven launcher.

Sidenote: Thrall is more like Orc Moses than Orc Jesus. The parallels are a lot stronger.

I haven’t been active in the game for a while, but it does seem that the optics on this story are really tiresome.

Unless you inadvertently find yourself penalized for underpaying your income taxes by too high an amount.  We very nearly hit that threshold last year, and we thought we’d filled out the withholding forms correctly.

You’re referencing a ramp that was added post facto to the architecture of a personal home. Of course it’s going to be a pain if no one needs it.

That may indeed be the case, but it’s not true yet.  And it’s not true for all of the “spaces in science fiction” that the OP makes note of.

Actually, yes, I do think there are people who would see the wheelchairs as an extension of their bodies. Persons born with a disability, or who develop/receive it in early childhood, don’t always see the disability in the same light. They might on some level wish they had fully-functioning legs/arms/eyes/ears/etc.,…

The notion of “choice” when it comes to lifelong disability is a flawed one. I highly suggest spending some time getting to know people who have had disabilities since birth or early childhood. Some may wish to be fixed, but many don’t see themselves as flawed.

That’s as may be, but not every fictional universe posits humans along that particular path, and it’s not a practical reality yet.

They put the cart before the horse. In order to make a business model of that sort work, you need to secure the agreements with a critical mass of theatre chains first (or run some pilot programs with smaller chains).
