I just started getting that set up actually! I’m working on getting my old games either ripped if the disks work or finding a working backup if they don’t.

I’m so sad that my disk 3 on my original copy is nonfunctional. I loved that game back in the day but I’ve never been able to finish it.

I believe that would be one who prefers to fuck other people, but on the couch.

Diversity only makes the Dad Force stronger.

Joke’s on you, I’m with both of them! Go Woke, go Broke? More like, “Go Woke because broke” right? R-right?

It’s true. He is in fact way more Him than I was ever capable of being.

I am simply built differently… alternatively. Some might even go so far as to say incorrectly. I know I would.

Oh yeah you’re right. I just looked it back up and this article says one of the commentators was getting $400k a month, a $100k signing bonus, and additional performance based payment in exchange for I guess 4 videos a week.

I guess according to the allegations only the founders of Tenet Media or whatever it was called knew the money was coming from Russia and they hid it from the talking heads.

But like… How much money do these people have to be getting paid before they have a thought to question where it’s coming from? Dim Tool was apparently getting like $100k a WEEK from them. Like at what point does it start to get suspicious?

Edit: I was misremembering. Apparently it was $100k a week so that’s $400k a month.

I’ve gotten tricked out of so many things by those blasted Fae. My gender, my sexual attraction, my attention, and precisely 1 (one) of my pronouns.

Now I go by He/They because I can never be Him.

Does this stack with the clipboard, HiVis vest, or ladder buffs? Asking for a friend.

From Wikipedia:

In November 2022, Gearbox Entertainment acquired the Risk of Rain IP. Hopoo Games remains an independent studio. Hopoo now states that they are working on other games and projects.

The Steam page for the DLC also lists Gearbox Software as the developer and Gearbox Publishing as the publisher so yeah. Seems accurate.

Looking at what appears to be this guy’s twitter I think that’s probably accurate. One of the first things I saw looking for this guy’s profile was this and I can’t see any other explanation for the term “Straightriotic lovemaking”

That’s just how Vash’s arm is even in the old version actually! Idk about the new version because I haven’t gotten around to watching the Trigun reboot, but yeah Vash’s arm always stopped at the top of his bicep.

On June 29, 2021, the district court dismissed the operative complaint, and the court entered final judgment the next day. The district court dismissed Science Feedback without prejudice for lack of service, and it dismissed the remaining Defendants with prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

Quick search for “with prejudice” in the document. I guess they tried to argue that Meta was acting on behalf of the state when they “censored” their anti vaccine posts, but they failed spectacularly in doing so.

I would absolutely kill for a Weird Al parody of “Not Like Us” about how deeply and toxicly creepy and weird these rightoid freaks are.

More than just non-conforming generally too. They super quickly embraced that non-conformist image when it came to the masks.

But it feels like just calling them weird triggers a primal fear within them that they’re not really part of the “in-group” after all. It works where other insults don’t because they can’t easily write it off as their enemies simply being jealous of how cool they are basically.

Most likely you’d have to allow the sitting president to appoint an acting justice to serve out the remainder of that justice’s term. Yeah we’d still have the problem of RBG dying under Trump and giving us a 6-3 conservative majority, but if she only had a few years left on her term when she died the damage would at least be limited.

As for what McConnell did to Garland, having term endings scheduled would make that a lot harder. If their terms are staggered such that they always end 1 year and 3 years into each president’s term it destroys the argument that it’s too close to an election and the people should get to decide who makes the appointment. They’d be forced to outright deny the nominee and let the president try again. That’s much harder to maintain.

The idea would essentially be that they wouldn’t all hear every case. You’d randomly assign a panel of say 5 justices from the pool and each panel would hear their own cases.

That way we stop bullshit like what Thomas did in his Dobbs concurrence where he straight up said he thinks cases like Obergefell (gay marriage), Lawrence (can’t criminalize gay sexual acts), and Griswold (contraception) also need to be reversed and all but instructed conservative legal circles to back challenges to those cases. Since there’d be no guarantee that a baseless partisan legal challenge would end up in front of favorable justices they would be much less likely to succeed.

This does potentially introduce a problem with consistency, but such a problem isn’t unsolvable. You could institute a rule that allows for basically an appeal on a SCOTUS ruling to be heard by either a different panel of justices or the entire body as a whole, for example. It obviously wouldn’t be perfect, but we don’t need perfection. We need SCOTUS to not be some unaccountable council of high priests who can act with blatant partisan interest and we can’t do anything about it.

To be fair, calling them “wings” was to my knowledge more about linking them to how chicken wings as a dish were prepared and presented than a statement on where the meat came from on the bird.

I don’t know much about this case in particular but it fits into a long pattern of activist conservative judges basically legislating from the bench to protect business interests. So it’s unsurprising that one of them would basically say “no one actually believes the wing part, so there’s no reason for them to believe the boneless part either, and therefore there’s no liability if there are bones in the product.”

Because they’re not in it for profit. It’s a project of the chuds at the Daily Wire. Any profit is a side effect of their true goal, right wing culture war. It exists to take money from their fans and use their “successful business” to prove that they’re correct. They’d still do it even if it wasn’t profitable just to push their preferred narrative.
