I feel like speaking about the Christmas truce as though it were some game theory bullshit fails to appreciate the actual reasons it occurred. The war wasn’t popular at all. When it first broke out, there was a popular sentiment that, given the powers involved and the history of wars of the prior 4-5 decades (the

Dude, you are barking up the wrong tree if you want to have any nuanced discussion here. Many people have attempted to have such a discussion and they fail on this site. I just spend less time here and more time on YouTube or reading interesting political/ social justice writers.  People here deal in black and white.

Good point. I was actually thinking of cases where society is the one doing the forgiving. The thought actually came from a comment about an Iraqi Christian about to be deported. He’s here legally but had gone to jail for a crime. He served his time and is now working and supporting his family. But because of his

Cocaine-fueled paranoia is a real thing. Substance abuse can warp people into terrifying caricatures of what they once were.

I think of Maher as more than an asshole than a racist but the point is well taken. What i find interesting is the urge to destroy. Depp hasn’t taken responsibility for his action so boycotting his movies because you don’t want to support him makes sense. But what is the end game? He never works again and lives out

Is it flaunting literary privilege to say that anyone going into a production of 1984 without some idea of what they’re going to see deserves what they get?

Avoid alcohol/drug addiction, kids. You may start out a sexy heartthrob, but you’ll most likely end up a sweaty, bloated, bankrupt, spouse-kicking mess.

Right even if they were the same age, his behavior was manipulative and predatory.

On the tap water: It depends actually. As long as there are no unsealed components, batteries, etc. then this will not hurt anything. Warm water may also remove bits of excess flux from the PCBs which in some cases might be beneficial. (at least with some types of flux) Provided that they are properly dried off

And? That’s on the purchaser to do the research if whoever is selling it off doesn’t know. It’s still his property to do as he pleases. If he is doing it to sell it off, then yea be upfront about it or don’t do it at all. But if his goal is to keep it, it’s his to do whatever he wants. It’s not up to the “community”

I’m a collector and self-styled historian of video games, and it’s always been less about what’s on the outside than what’s on the inside - IE: the games. As long as the cart still works, it doesn’t really matter what you do to it IMO. Also, if your vintage game has an internal battery for saves, you’re probably going

How is this so damn hard for people? If you want to resell it later, leave it alone. If you want to collect and keep, do whatever makes you happy. People just HAVE to put on their nerd glasses and start “AAAAAACTUALLLYYYY” the hell out of everything. Get out of people’s business.

GIF of my favorite loading screen:

Reading these angry comments like:

Yeah this is like 300% fake.

Yeah, not buying this. Unless he pulled the monitor toward him with his hands and even then, it’s a pretty perfect circle..seems bullshit.

Lucky for him this isn’t real. I mean...I can’t imagine it is. A perfectly head shaped hole? Throught the screen, pcb and the plastic in the back? I don’t know about you but I don’t think my head could punch a perfect hole through layers of flexible plastic...on a monitor that is just sitting on it’s stock stand.
