Huh, okay. I don’t really keep up with all of the little fandoms, so thanks for that!

Perhaps it’s a personal failing but I generally don’t care why somebody doesn’t abuse minors, I only really care that they don’t abuse minors.

To be fair, Epstein only eventually went to jail, and those convictions were under an entirely different DOJ

Didn’t most console games run at 30fps until recently, so effectively 30hz, right?

I swear, games running at 240fps on a 240hz monitor have actual motion blur, no need for post processing

Isn’t there some question about the specifics of the mechanism of lift itself? Not like “this shouldn’t be possible!” but more “it’s easier to explain than it is to understand”

Was it the head of the USDA withholding funds? I was under the impression that the administration said there were no funds, and then there was no way to release the funds, and then that it would be too complex to do so with any expediency.

Why are they appealing the ruling, do you think?

Is it? What is the more nuanced view?

Ha, forgot about that. Maybe this trailer just feels over the top

Can’t wait to hear your plan

The first one was campy but it felt way less self-aware

This is why online discourse is so hard! Beyond the anonymity, which causes its own problems, the absence of nonverbal cues and lack of immediacy in feedback leaves a lot open to interpretation, so anything can be taken in any way.

Opinions become accusations and idle musings become absolute certainty in the vacuum of supporting information that is text-only communication. I worry that the only real solution is for people to–like you–embrace the uncertainty and gracefully admit that their interpretation could be wrong. And it seems likely that the only way to collectively get to that point is to fuck it up a lot for a long time.

“Anecdata”!? I love it, where did you get it?

I’m a non-lonely male and my answer is basically the same.

Yeah, the US and Europe do DST a couple weeks apart, presumably because of latitude differences but it could also be spite, I guess.

The good old days where the people in charge could get away with anything, that’s what it comes down to.

Can you believe they lip synched on live TV!? What fraudsters!

Lmao, with what money?

Like you said, it’s been around for a while, so most of the actual dungeons have been picked clean and all we’ve really been left with over the last 30-40 years barely fit the legal definition!

Just to make sure I’m understanding you correctly, you’re talking about an exchange like this?

Person 1: It sure is hot today.
Person 2: I know, right?

Thinking about some other conversational ways to respond, I think saying, “It sure is, isn’t it?” or, “Don’t I know it!” feel pretty similar. I wonder what it is that makes us ask rhetorical questions like that.
