  Is there any chance that the terrorism charge is so ridiculous that it actually strengthens Luigi’s case and makes his defense better?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're trying to charge Luigi with terrorism! Imagine that!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately, the people doing it are the media It’s a quintessential “man bites dog” story. Normally it’s the insurance companies killing civilians. Everyone is going to cover it. The police had a manhunt because it would look ridiculous if they didn’t solve such a high-profile case.

  It’s kind of a symbiotic relationship, the media covers it, the police react harshly, the media covers it more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for answers⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As many people say, the horror of the Nazis wasn’t just that they killed so many people, but that they industrialized it, turned it into an inhuman factory process like they were mass-producing shoes.

  In a similar way we have modern corporations that have brought neo liberal styles to the idea of murder. Instead of the industrial style of the Nazis, this style serves to alienate the murder from the murderer, putting a price tag on deaths and profiting from the lives they’re destroying all veiled by the size of these companies and the corporate double-speak that places all the lives they have control over into their sterile profit-centered game they play.

  I wouldn’t call what they peddle “toys” unless you can find me any sort of activity people actually use them for besides display.

  It would be funny if everyone in NY just started dressing like this for a few days.

  Yeah that’s why I say it’s good for a laugh. If a game is nearly impossible to get a decent score in, it can’t been taking itself too seriously. You’re meant to sit back and watch the master Sherlock Holmes do his thing and nail the mystery. Often it’s fun and you get some “oh yeah” moments where he points out a detail that makes a lot of clues click, but sometimes the leaps in logic are just unhinged. Also there was another mystery I remember distinctly where in order to get the correct line, you had to have some random bit of trivia knowledge about Sherlock-era English style cause it was based on someone’s hat.

  Now that I write this, I bet there’s a lot of fun bits for people who have read all of the Sherlock books and “get” the logic of that world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Percentages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol Sherlock Holmes consulting detective is probably fun as a single player game, but we played it as a party game (cause it said you could do that) and the result is just chaos.

  We got on what we were pretty sure was the right track and got into some rabbit holes, brought it back to Sherlock and he basically told us to fuck off and die and we earned negative points. I think we got one part of one of his answers and didn’t even visit most of the places that would have given us at least a few answers.

  Great for a laugh though.

  This is next level irony. A coffee shop requiring a gender studies degree.

  The CHUDs would have a field day.

  You’re right, let’s send 1 person into the fuck of space just to say we did it.

  I’m not being sarcastic.

  Now… How hallucinogenic and can it be separated from the toxin?

  That was a big pull of WoW. You type “lfg” once in all chat and that could send you on a 20 year relationship with a guild with people who end up becoming your best friends.

  Elon musk might know a lot about manufacturing space ships and electric cars. But that’s not general knowledge of manufacturing, in fact out of a lot of manufacturing that’s very specific and highly technical manufacturing.

  But beyond that, Elon is not and probably never has been the head of manufacturing at any of those companies, and he hasn’t worked a significant amount of time (probably not any time at all) in any of his factory floors. so it’s impossible to give him points for practical manufacturing skills.

  And even if you could twist your brain around to give him that. There are people in charge of manufacturing larger companies with much more diverse portfolios. Let’s say something like Hitachi who has people who know manufacturing magic wands to mopeds to precision l scientific equipment.

  Or how about those companies in China that make every knick-knack and consumer electronic on the planet.

  Fuck, if you wanted to name American CEOs and give them credit for manufacturing everything they produce under their company Jeff Bezos owns Amazon and Blue Origin, the direct space ship manufacturing competitor to SpaceX.

  Lol I like the thought that even though we see Batman stop Joker hundreds of times, one time Joker really did succeed and as a prank just put a smidge of toxin into the supply.

  I’d also like to see that list. I’d also like to see how hobby preference lines up with what hobbies the person with that preference has themselves.

  I just started a job getting paid monthly. The thing is, my first check at the beginning of this month was only for about a week and a half so I got no 🦍🛋️ this time around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon attempts wordplay⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This joke is a pretty good punchline but you would need more setup. Mom working at a sex change clinic is a good start but you need a reason to make the pun make sense in both senses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So this is how liberty dies...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It really doesn’t upset conservatives. They see this and acknowledge it as the affirmation that it is that libs like you are triggered by their epic president and have no argument so you have to resort to name calling.

  They do the same thing back to you and you conclude they can’t understand words with more than 3 syllables back at them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a word, phrase, or trope for an idea that gets more popular the more it fails?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it is a subcategory I think it’s the term you’re looking for.

  The actual phrase has its origins in a financial sense but the way it’s used nowadays is much more broad. You can invest time, money, emotion, identity etc and it’s still the “sunk cost fallacy” if it keeps failing and you keep going.

  Hell, infinite monkeys over a finite amount of time or finite monkeys over an infinite amount of time does the trick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Squid Game: Season 2 | Official Teaser | Netflix⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This will only be good if they take the premise and completely mess with it. Or if it’s a completely different genre from the first season that follows up on some of the threads the first season left.

  The first season was a strong, tight story whose whole plot served an argument that was completed at the end of the season.

  I guess all I’m saying is I hope it’s not a cash grab.
