Yeah, we’ll have to see how things go: while they could absolutely handle this badly, if they are going with the pronouns the actor chose, then you can hardly find fault with them.

I absolutely hate Funko pops. I’m all for repurposing popular characters with a unique style, but the Funko style is somehow both ugly and boring. They are just a worse version of every property they get.

I’m curious why having the non-binary and transgender characters having the symbiont (as you mention several times, Adira isn’t Trill) is less progressive? If the show were saying that the symbiont somehow altered their sexuality into non-binary and transgender, THAT would be messed up, but from what I can tell that’s…

Yeah, very Souls game I send like half an hour making something I like, then spending the entirety of the actual game seeing next to nothing I made. Plus, you’re likely to spend a lot of your time as a zombified, even less-visible version of your character. It almost seems like a purposeful joke: here, design your own…

Yes, thank you. I have also seen lobbying for what it is: institutional bribery. It’s insane that people just shrug or stare blankly when that is pointed out.

I really like Mulaney, and his previously-hosted episodes were great, but this one was...not.

Well your comment was dumb as hell, so if you’re not a troll, you’re a moron. Pick whichever makes you feel less badly about yourself.

Che needs to watch Norm MacDonald’s Weekend Update performances, in order. While most people will blame MacDonald’s firing on the OJ stuff, I remember watching the show at the time and MacDonald was increasingly antagonistic with the crowd week over week, and while at first it was a little funny, it got cringey, and…

I’d like to add something I haven’t seen here yet: beyond whoever or whatever Pratt is, the idea of the “worst Chris” is fucking stupid. Because grouping these people by their first name is super basic and meaningless, but mostly because ranking them is dehumanizing and gross.

Oh, never, ever guess, under any circumstances. A wrong guess can propagate throughout a game but only become evident far later, and be nearly impossible to reverse. There are some solution techniques here that may be helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonogram.

Yeah, even though right now is pretty much the busiest I’ve been in my life, I have been spending way too much time doing nonograms online.

This website isn’t exclusive to the US, and other countries have different networks and distribution of TV shows. If they only showed the US network for shows people would be upset, and having an exhaustive list of international networks would make people complain that it was obtrusive. There’s literally no solution…

As I recall, his Michelle Obama bit was less about her specifically and more about the idea of president’s spouses in general and why it was weird anyone would care what they would have to say. His jokes included that one day there will be a woman who is president, and it will be her husband’s job to just shut up, and…

“If I can’t cheat, I won’t play” seems to have been his modus operandi his whole life.

Ha, yeah. My context for superhero movies is a little different: I grew up reading comics, which were both even more ludicrous than the movies and constantly retconning their own stories whenever a writer came along that wanted to “shake things up” by rendering history irrelevant. So the fact that the movies are…

Well that does kind of track with humanity in general: hold a high moral standard, as long as it’s convenient.

Imagine you’re driving a car, with two kids in the back seat. One keeps opening and closing the window, even though you repeatedly tell him to stop. The other is jumping into the front seat and jerking the steering wheel to the left, and you keep swerving into oncoming traffic. Do you think it makes sense to focus on…

I really don’t believe that the current level of crazy is what would get Jr. to intervene, given all of preceding history. What seems far more likely is that this is some lame power play: their loudmouth idiot meal-ticket is on the way out, and they all know they can’t sustain his level of aggressively-stupid…

You’ve hit on something that could start me off on a far-too-long diatribe more than almost anything else, but as someone studying programming and AI, I completely agree, yet still see people even in the industry have this magical thought process about consciousness. We don’t understand our own consciousness enough to…

Yet most of your arguments are about socialism’s or communism’s failures. You’re trying to turn the discussion away from the problems in capitalism, to make people see the way things could be worse, but that doesn’t do anything to help the current problems, which are very real. People’s complaints about capitalism are…
