He was probably just a heavy smoker, skin like leather. Checks out for the time period.

It’s really kind of them to protect all the democrats they say are the only ones implicated in those files. They’ve gone to so much effort to protect people that no one wants them to protect. Other democrats don’t want them protected, and republicans don’t generally want anyone protected other than themselves, like each individual republican. So it’s quite the uncommon situation to have so many republicans choose to protect people that are not only meaningless to them, but people you would think they would see as their enemies as well as criminals.

So yeah, anyway… it can be pretty tough to keep 100 lies straight, unless the person you are lying to is also invested in those lies being the truth.

Pescatarian is a pretty common restrictive diet, mostly just leaves out land meat. It’s not generally a diet based on the same reasons for being restrictive as vegetarian or vegan. While some people can arrive at it ideologically, like this commercial is displaying, it’s more commonly a conclusion people would choose based on health concerns rather than ideology. And from what I could read from the french I saw, it does seem like despite the depictions in the cartoon, the message is something like " it doesn’t matter how you arrive at a healthy diet, as long as you make the effort" or something like that. So it seems like they are more concerned with health generally than ideology.

But if you want to get creative, here’s an ideological explanation. The forest critters government has spent decades if not centuries grievously 'other’ing fish to the point that their populace doesn’t think of them as animals anymore. And their sex education is so attrocious that until any individual animal sees it for themselves, they have no idea where babies come from. And by then they are so traumatised by what they have already done to and with eggs that they can’t bring themselves to accept the truth, they gaslight themselves into thinking that was a freak occurence.

Yes, but they normally do their best to pretend it isn’t the case. Though there is of course the argument that this ‘is’ their best.

“Why did you make my food so hot and hard to get too. It’s hurting me!” *takes another bite “it’s still hurting me!”

Ant man is from the 1960’s, it sucks that they have to use the same reasoning that was given then, as well as the same character abilities. It’s inconsistent as hell. Wish they would have been able to at least update the science to fit the capabilities better. But of course we know of no science that could explain what they want him to be capable of doing. But then they get to make shit up, they love making up plausible sounding sciencey words.

They a little bit try to make it seem like there is a cost for going super big, in that he gets tired really fast… but even that keeps slipping to being less and less immediate or important.

I feel like the cost is literally the most important part of super heroes. Whether it be time constraints, or energy usage, or personality problems… having a tangible cost is what makes them “heroes”, instead of just hypercapable beings doing awesome stuff for spectacle alone.

In those figures, do they count standalone VR headsets as consoles? Cuz they basically are. May not be the same shape, but they do the same thing. And would fill the same role in christmas shopping regards. With the Quest 3s going down to 200 USD for black friday, I have to imagine there were some units sold there.

Did they do the math on that sentence?

Anti-fascists and other anti-americans.

Anti-fascist = Anti-american

Divide both sides by anti.

Fascist = American

Fair, I am probably using it wrong, hehe. I definitely am picking up quite a few names and occasionally socialising. For me it’s just the current platform nerds are socialising on until this one gets too popular/ruined and we have to move again.

Wait… is this not social media? What we are doing right now?

Trump was a democrat at the time, likely still is personally, he always said if he ran for president though he would run as republican because it’s easier.

For people with no morals, what they personally would like to live under has no bearing on what they would subject other people to.

I have to assume as a close friend of becky, that still hung out with her post-transition, that must have been something becky was ok with. Alot of older trans are not very sensitive about getting it all absolutely correct. And especially when their old name is the one they are famous/well-known by.

Plus it was written in a timeline of their life and post-transition switches to they. It may not be how younger trans have setup the rules to work, but it doesn’t strike me as something that becky would have had a problem with.

Hehe yeah, the atoms of the separate fingers are closer than the atoms making up each finger, while I like the concept they were going for, they have accidentally made the fingers literally ‘closer than’ touching.

I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I think it might be escaped convicts riding escaped zoo animals.

Yeah, my sister was pretty reluctant at first, she is ACE and wanted to support the boycott, but then when the game was basically a slap in the face to rowling, and rowling was trying to tank the game by tweeting that buying the game still supported her anyway, we took that as meaning that she actually wasn’t making residuals on it or she would have just shut her mouth and raked in the money like normal.

I played the game in VR myself, but my sister played it flat screen. We both enjoyed the game. It is definitely very “videogamey” but, been playing videogames for over 30 years, so that is nothing new. The parts that were new to us were worth the parts that weren’t.

Ah, I should probably mention that I played it in VR with motion controls, so combat was alot more fun than what the flat version of the game probably did. And just riding a broom or looking around at the really detailed environments(those that were) was worth it being very videogamey otherwise.

I declare “bankruptcy”!

But hogwarts legacy is actually a really good game, the whole problem was that it might lead to jk rowling getting more money. Though they never did clarify if she got a cut or a flat fee that would have already been paid. Either way, this should nullify that, but the team that made the game did a great job, and made it more in-line with the spirit of the books instead of the author. Went specifically against her current wishes. The trans inclusion and positivity was pretty well done. Even if it was put in to spite her, they didn’t draw attention to it, it just is there, and no one bats an eye.

Edit: I should mention that I played it in VR, I can’t speak to what the game is like without VR. But I really enjoyed it. UEVR with a motion controls mod, there is also a voice casting mod, but I didn’t personally go that route.

Yeah, it’s a pretty awesome game. Basically a bunch of voice actors tried to figure out a way to make a game that included over 100 all main cast voice actors. Pretty much every voice actor you can think of is in it, and has a large role.

I think it hitting the table was after the operator thought they set it to idle so they could remove the headset. Like basically since the robot is “no longer mimicking their actions” they don’t have to worry about where they are moving their hands anymore.
