You can buy games on gog.com DRM-free, download them immediately and do what you want with it, with no additional phone-home mechanism in place. It’s almost like owning the original floppies/CD.

Their intention, probably not. But it is apt: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/rush-to-finish-istanbul-airport-leads-to-deaths-and-protests-1.3651616 

I’ve heard it’s called the “mowing” game, whatever that is supposed to mean. A few years ago, it was knockouts, now it’s black people attacking innocent white greenery. Where, oh where will it end?

Yeah, I stumbled over that line as well. Corporal punishment ist not okay and it is far too widespread in the United States still to let this go unchallenged (even if the lady has a point with the rest of her statements, and even if the only reason her neighbors are calling the police is because it’s a black lady…

While I get your point, if you just read (Homer’s) Iliad, you wouldn’t actually learn about the Trojan Horse. It’s not part of that story.

Academic rigour is important to me, and I was curious about the precise circumstances. And I did write another paragraph, you know. A teacher can be racist and wrong about a person without being wrong about a specific assignment.

Good article, but one thing I’m wondering about:

That’s Stephen Miller, I think.

What’s weird about this is that there is a later-season Mad Men episode (co-credited to Weiner, as I just learned, though that’s not unusual for the show) where Peggy and Stan are confined in a room working together and they both strip and then continue working as normal, though as I recall it’s initiated by Peggy.

True, but that same company also gives us shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, New Girl and Empire, all of which are very inclusive of minorities. Even The Orville has three black actors in leading roles. Compare that to the programming on Disney, which is almost universally white.

Oh, I know. That would make it more delicious: All it took for Miramax to be merged with the Weinstein Company (something the brothers sort of tried, but failed at) was for the Weinsteins to leave. (And yes, I know the other brother still being there complicates things. Maybe he’ll be forced out as well when his proble…

They should rename the company Miramax, that would really piss him off.

wikipedia has a list of episode titles, at least.

It’s fine. Let’s blame Kinja, that seems to be the thing to do.

Wouldn’t your post support the notion that he truly doesn’t know?

Maybe, but the chain is still wrong. NBC was indeed bought by Comcast, but Turner was bought by Warner (which is in the process of being acquired by AT&T).

“These are giant, multi-national corporations of, you know, NBC, which then became Turner, and then got bought by Comcast, so I mean, I don’t know.”

A pretty good deal, I suppose, but as a matter of principle I boycott every bundle containing a significant number of DRM or Steam-only keys. I don’t have any illusions about the effectiveness of that little boycott, of course, since many people seem quite happy to just get Steam keys (or exclusive access via Origin…

But if you liked Mononoke, then you might as well do Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind for more Miyazakian epic fantasy. If you were lukewarm to SA, then I suspect My Neighbor Totoroor Ponyo or Kiki’s Delivery Service wouldn’t do much more for you either.
