“I would just say, go back to what you did well, I think it’s going to be the right business decision, and all that.”

Your optimism that this Supreme Court can’t split that hair is touching.

I’m a lawyer getting ready to defend our client in an upcoming trial. Having read DeSantis’s statement, I am inspired. I am going to stop preparing for trial right now and just call up the plaintiff’s lawyer and say, “Hey, we’ve moved on, why don’t you drop your lawsuit?” I will report back on how it goes.

You don’t tell the other guy you think they should drop their lawsuit if you’re ACTUALLY convinced they’ll lose! lol

Having your audience vote on your creative decisions is a fantastic way to get them deeply emotionally invested whilst inevitably setting them up for disappointment and absolute spittle-flecked rage directed at you for not giving them exactly what they expected.

White Rabbit is yet another case of cryptobros* desperately looking for some use - any actually useful use - for NFTs other than ‘pure speculation’ and settling on a solution that’s already done better and easier without them. Like in this case ‘only the $10/mo and up members of my Patreon get to vote on the plot’…

I'll GM! And the team still needs a street sam.

All the dystopia but none of the extreme body modification.  I want a cyber arm dammit

I’m a student of history, history promotes technological optimism because technology is entirely the reason why it’s the best time to be an average human in the entire history of humanity.

There’s nothing to understand. It’s just fake money. You can’t spend it & nobody wants it.

Those of us who thought ‘Holy crap that future seems awesome!’ are the wizards of the new Willennium now.

I remember discovering Cyberpunk literature at a young age, and while some of it was quite good, I don’t think I ever once thought that it would be cool to live in that kind of dystopian environment.

Valentine’s is the first expulsion for using a slur, which he used while in conversation with his fellow contestants, later calling the moment—while talking to fellow player Jared Fields, who’s Black—”a slip of the tongue.”

“A slip of the tongue” is such a lie. You don’t just stumble into a word that’s not already in your vocabulary. When these bigots try to use that excuse, I sometimes think about all those fancy words that I had to learn for the SAT and GRE. Even though I’m familiar with words like “obsequious,” I never actually say…
