Good point
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 1 week ago:
I understood their point. My point is that it was a one line throwaway gag on The Simpsons. Not necessarily a commentary on real world police hiring practices so much as a joke about both the police in that show and Homer.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 1 week ago:
Considering how dumb the police chief is on that show, I think it was an intentional joke
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s ‘Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)’ Debuts in The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 1 week ago:
It’s the debut of the re-recorded version. The re-recording of the album that it’s from hasn’t been released yet.
Now that said, I’m personally a bit upset that I know this. People like to describe her as being eclectic and versatile, but I find her to simply be the most bland, generic pop star of all time.

Seems like you can drill a hole in the bottom to make it drain more effectively and reduce the chance of mold buildup

8Bitdo is good. I have the Pro 2 and it’s quite nice.
That said my current favorite controller is my RetroFighters BattlerGC Pro

Yeah, with old stuff we just don’t remember the crap, so only the gold sticks around.
- Comment on Some retailers have broken Doom: The Dark Ages' street date, and huge spoilers are already out there [Eurogamer] 5 weeks ago:
For real. Digital Choose Your Own Adventure type books are fun if that’s what you’re trying to buy, but Doom is about gameplay
- Comment on Some retailers have broken Doom: The Dark Ages' street date, and huge spoilers are already out there [Eurogamer] 5 weeks ago:
There are certain stories where a good amount of the first-time enjoyment is trying to guess the outcome/twist, like murder mysteries. IMO it really depends on the story structure.
- Comment on Some retailers have broken Doom: The Dark Ages' street date, and huge spoilers are already out there [Eurogamer] 5 weeks ago:
I mean, maybe. Doom 3 was pretty plot-driven too, but yeah. I guess my point is that the series is really all about fun gameplay.
- Comment on Some retailers have broken Doom: The Dark Ages' street date, and huge spoilers are already out there [Eurogamer] 5 weeks ago:
Oh no, not spoilers for the plot of Doom. Now nobody will want to play it /s

Greedo didn’t shoot at all

Return of The Jedi takes place 4 years after the end of A New Hope, but I agree with your overall point.
- Comment on What’s your favorite “flop” of all time? 2 months ago:
Shocked nobody mentioned The Shawshank Redemption yet. Box office flop, they had to re-release it back to theaters after it got nominated for 7 Oscars and it only really took off with home video.

I liked this movie a lot. Yeah, it’s kinda silly in its concept, but the execution of it was deeply satisfying.
- Comment on Google is replacing Google Assistant with Gemini | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
I just tried those questions with Gemini on my phone. It got them all right. For the directions one it gave me a Google Maps link with the route dialed in in public transit mode

I’m gonna be that guy:
inciteful
insightful is the right word here. As in “full of insight”.
Incite is pronounced the same but it refers to instigating or provoking, e.g. “incite a riot”, so something that’s insightful could also be inciteful if you’re inferring something embarrassing about someone to try to start a fight

Ladybird and Servo are both in Alpha, but worth keeping an eye on.

I quite agree, but it doesn’t reduce the irony even an iota
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Dude is so thick that he used an example of a time when he was a minority within his department and discriminated against as a way to argue that businesses should be allowed to discriminate against minorities.
Like bro. Do you not understand that this scenario is insanely more common for racial and ethnic minorities to encounter in our society at large and that’s why we have DEI programs to begin with?

Doubly so now that students are beginning to authentically write like ChatGPT since they spend so much time chatting it up.
