Are you a rhet-comp instructor? You are doing such an amazing job with comprehension and fighting the good fight against cherry-picking and calling it evidence. 👌🏾

I very much appreciate your willingness to engage with Manwich and respond rationally and logically to someone who seems intent on misreading the article he’s commenting on.

(‘Team America: World Police’ is a perfect example. “Hey, we give it to both sides! We suggest that conservatives are kind of dumb, and we suggest that liberals are literal traitors secretly in the pay of America’s enemies in a joint effort to destroy us by making us doubt our inherent greatness!”)

You think this is Nintendo’s only surprise? It’s only the tit of the iceberg.

I’ve been trying to say this for so long and you found the words. Thank you. How do you defeat something who draws strength from your every reaction: forget about them, leave them to their lonely, unfulfilling dungeons. Don’t endorse them, but Bungie already cast that stone and gave them a win no matter what happens…

Seeing as how 99% of people wouldn’t have given this a second thought, in taking it out and calling attention to it they’ve laid out the platform for people to get on. They could have just taken it out, or even just changed the color, but they made it a point to make it a big deal.

Both Omaha and Lincoln are set up as grids with numbered North-South streets.

As someone from the outside looking in (read: I am gay af), it baffles me how terrible straight people are at casual sex. Like dudes are successfully boinking each other every other minute on Grindr, but Tindr comes out and it’s a hellscape of catfishing and potential sexual assault. That’s not to say bad things don’t…

South Park doesn’t hit on things equally almost ever, unless it’s religion. What they do is point out the ridiculousness on various sides, no matter who it is.

in this situation, they’re specifically parodying the treatment of a young child, one who is not an adult and unlikely to meet the pretty shitty stereotype…

That’s not how shaders work though. The process generally looks like: bind shader -> issue drawing commands -> repeat until everything is drawn. There’s no bind shader to a specified area. The graphics hardware doesn’t even have a concept of area, that’s all vector-matrix calculus to transform coordinates relative to…

i iliterate overread that...

The Javascript programmer in me is upset that somebody put a NaN in the middle of this string.

Not that impressive. This kid’s not deaf, dumb, or blind.

It’s also worth noting that Lazerface1242 has made effectively this same post a half dozen times just in the past couple months (here, here, here, here, here, here). A perusal of his posting history indicates that he spends an inordinate amount of time declaring other commenters trolls, and suggesting that they be…

To be more succinct: Yes, corporations have a right to censor their own platforms. But we, as the people, should be wary of their exercise of that right. Their rights do not trump our own, and are just as subject to moral and logical scrutiny as the laws which we have formed as a society of the people.

Excellently put. The original strip has been used and abused in similar discussions here over the past few months to an insidious degree. Namely in its implicit branding of anybody who loses their platform as an irredeemable “asshole” - details of this specific story notwithstanding. That said, I am completely aware…

Well, One Piece is set in a dystopian world filled with freaks. The women-proportions thing is just an admitted quirk of the creator, though. But there’s a lot of weirdly proportioned people in One Piece, some of which are mutants, other sentient races, or hybrids.

I noticed this about a half hour ago, but swtiching to the pacman mode did nothing for me. All the HUD stuff disappeared and the map kinda zoomed in on a section of the map, but it never actually activated the “game”.

I’m guessing Nintendo is trying to discourage people from using store bought warranties? That’s the best I got. Much like Capcom with Mercs 3D and the undeletable save file. Hoooo boy was that was a shining moment in DRM stupidity...Then they did Revelations and it was great. So, weird.

The yellow would complete it for sure!
