I must rewatch this film - I seemed to spend most of my viewing thinking how boring and blandly motivated BP was compared to the villain. Well, that and the odd lacking of scale to Wakanda - I never got a sense of how big it was, or how far apart the tribes were. Actually, the whole tribe thing seemed off in lots of…

If your prison population is so large that you worry that criminals would have undue influence over the outcome, then you’ve got bigger problems anyway...

We’ve gone/going through this same thing in the UK with Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party. The bizarre thing is that I don’t think the Republican elite can even hear themselves as we do - they say this poisonous, vile, corrupt, self-serving shit, and they don’t even realise that they’re basically channeling Emperor…

“a bunch of brainwashed people trying to find happiness in a religion that was forced on their ancestors just as it was mine.”

This one’s grown on me. I mean, it’s not great, and most of the criticisms are valid, but it’s definitely better on a 2nd viewing, and the themes seem more coherent.

Does it have an option to stop automatic reboots after updates?

Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke, haha, FAT CHANCE

Short version:

I mean the names are pretty stupid, but I think it’s a stretch to ascribe racism to it - either intentional or otherwise. It’s not liked they called them “House Boy”, “Cracker”, and the n-word.

It was so weird. And annoying as hell when they banned my son since it was impossible to change his name, and he’d adopted my nom du plume... and it’s not like “Penis” or “Lesbian” are actually obscene. Maybe they just don’t like vans...

Normally, I’d agree, but this twat took it to a new level and has not deviated since. I’d ignore if there was a shift in character or an act of repudiation, but all I can see right now is a guy who’s had a lot of time practicing being an arse.

Zero benefit to the customer from having a dozen or more video streaming subscription services. Welcome to capitalism - it ain’t for you.

An extraordinary book - my mum threw it away in horrified disgust, which I think is a complement.

I thought it was “Don’t let poor Nelly starve”?

I’m confused by many of the comments. Why would having an easy mode available (which you don’t have to use) spoil the game for the purists?

Interesting article, and one of the things it reinforces in me is my conviction that the modern progressive movement pays too much attention to ethnicity and not enough to income.

I prefer XKCD’s quite reasonable take on this:

I’m currently coping with a mild addiction to dash-cam videos on Youtube, and the one really noticeable thing in about 80% of the videos, is that a crash takes two arseholes - the major arsehole who does something aggressive and/or stupid, and the minor arsehole who responds by doing something aggressive and/or stupid…

At 57, I’m in the same boat. I’ve tried DS and BB, and really appreciated them, but in the end I don’t have the skill or time to invest in actually being able to play them. At least I can say to the games with honesty that it’s not them, it’s me...

Do the Germans get extra credit because they were the first nation to stop gassing millions of Jews?
