You’re right that we didn’t need to see it - Jon very clearly set it up for Angela to find the egg and understand what it was, and there is no way he would have done that as a trick, given his personality. But I would be extremely curious to see what would happen next -what would Angela do with that power?

Maybe the disconnect is the commentary: managers of these companies are so siloed off by the complexities of the logistics that they are materially separate from the core business and its consequences.

I don’t think it’s fair to compare Washington to Trump. We don’t know that much of Washington’s character, and way too much of Trump’s - who knows how Washington would behave with today’s societal norms, but I think it’s pretty much a guarantee Trump would have owned slaves, and would now if he could get away with it.…

I’m not so sure they have a “too cool to care” attitude, it seemed to be more about people thinking Trump getting impeached means getting rid of him, and there’s a decent argument that it won’t (which they made). That’s not to say that it shouldn’t be done: politicians should take a moral stand even if (or especially…

Okay, that was pretty inspired, LIA. The only thing I’d say: it might be a little clearer if the first image of the mount didn’t have someone on it. It kind of looks like the robot turned into a frogbot, and the frogman turned into a person.

Ha, I totally thought this was a reference to the American Gods news.

Yeah, there is just so much stuff to grind I didn’t grind RW like crazy when it first came out. The other pve modes were viable for a long time and still are, so I didn’t expect RW to die off so drastically. I mostly want the mounts, but the mode is fun itself.

So, how bad is it that they didn’t go to those screenings? If they had screeners and had already watched it then who cares, it just shows they didn’t like the movie (and many reviewers didn’t think much of it), but if they didn’t even bother to do that, just assuming it wasn’t worth watching from word of mouth, then…

Oh great. Now we get to have people getting all angry at each other for not being absolutist about either capitalism or socialism being the worst thing ever. Both extremes are really dumb.

Yeah, as much as I love the game and how much content there is, it does rather suck that a bunch of it is rendered unplayable by lack of collective interest.

You shouldn’t eat pears. Pears are horrible and no one should eat them.

Because public roads and social welfare systems are in line with what the people that Republicans call socialists want. If these things aren’t socialist, neither are the people the Republicans are constantly whining about.

I gave up on BLU when it took forever to get a group together to run a BLU dungeon grind for one of the higher-level spells and after hours I still didn’t get it. Unless they have massively increased the learn rate for the spells, I really can’t justify doing 50 more runs of incredibly old content for a single spell ye…

Yeah, seeing it before it gets spoiled is pretty much it for a lot of movies.

Oh, that’s great to hear, thanks! I’ll have to check it out.

100%. This is far, far from the most overdone genre that still exists.

I get that there is a massive amount of it, but I’ve tried thinking of what has been pushed out, and don’t think we’d really be better off without superhero media. We still get other action and sci-fi movies, and as for TV, look at the history of cop shows - arguably a less rich area in terms of potential stories, yet…

They really should have like one in 256 people get the message “Your information was sent badly - a bunch of your choices were switched and will not be reversed.”

AI becoming sentient isn’t the real problem (and may not even be possible), the real problem is how it is used. There are already complex problematic issues arising (look into COMPAS, or just consider Facebook fake news issues). AI is just another tool, and as is the case for most tools, you can better determine the…

Basically everyone is a product of their time, and Chappelle is no different. He is just an older version of his previous self, and every aging generation takes great offense at the newer generations existing in any way not completely reverent to them. He isn’t the worst of the comedians bemoaning “cancel culture”, he…
