The headline on this should be that the theory is actually testable.

Give us Mario Kart 9, cowards.

If you can’t protest in support of innocent civilians going through an humanitarian crisis then how is the US different from the authoritarian police state fantasy that so many Americans love to project onto places like China or North Korea? What good is your freedom if you can only exercise it when it doesn’t inconvenience the state?

There is no argument that supporting innocent people is hate speech. If there’s no avenue to publicly support Palestinian victims of war then this is literally oppression of political speech by the state. It’s the only thing that the first amendment is supposed to protect and no one in power can even be bothered to pretend that this is a problem.

This is going to radicalize some folks and I am here for it.

I don't even play in-person anymore and I still think about more dice

It’s all great, but the tiny podcasting mic is clearly the icing on the cake

The screen sitting on top of a storage container next to the toilet, rotated ever so slightly for best viewing angle while pooping, is

The Orville is a deeply sincere homage made by someone who clearly both loves and understands Star Trek. It is, in many ways, more true to form than some of the recent Trek shows and movies, and it deserves to be considered an honorary part of the franchise. I hope we see more of it.

It’s important to agree on quorum for an RPG campaign. If the GM and a minimum threshold of players show up, it’s game on.

I do enjoy the start of game retconning caused by missing players. “Oh no, our wizard has contracted horrible diarrhea and is currently locked in the bathroom, but thankfully our druid appears to be arriving via parachute as we speak.”

I'm actually two kids in a trenchcoat, but good luck proving it.

Bahaha, in the mirror universe, Elon Musk died a pauper while trying to prevent the eugenics wars.

Being fired on the spot hardly ever happens. Usually the problem is that employers demand additional work for no increase in pay or better working conditions while maintaining a toxic or outright dangerous work environment because they know most people won't quit or even complain. That goes double for immigrants who are either undocumented, and have little recourse, or need their job to maintain their visa. Being fired on the spot sounds sort of quaint compared to what we usually see happening in American workplaces.

This is genuinely very disheartening. A lot of people have died and more will continue to die, but NATO can’t even talk openly about how the conflict might be ended. They really do want Ukraine to be the next Afghanistan in the forever war.
