  The SAM episode was a little meh, personally, but I like that they’re dealing with the shorter season format and still doing episodes based around each character.

  IIRC a few African groups have legends of people trying to tame zebras as long term mounts or livestock, and these legends rarely end well for the attempter.

  Like father, like son. Part of why Trump eats so shitty is the same fear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sure, Jan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also doesn’t help that they apparently gave a bunch of half-truths to every other artist on the card (like Shinedown), and potentially just added some names they thought they could dial last-minute (Ludacris).

  For a certain type of parent, no. They see immorality and demons behind every planter and think every other person in the world is out to snatch their kid. I definitely had classmates in my school days who were not afforded any privacy at all - diaries couldn’t be locked, journals were read through, any electronic records got read and gone over, etc.

  Unsurprisingly, a large number of these people have grown up to be intensely private in their personal lives, and it’s incredibly difficult to pick the mask apart from the person even if you’re incredibly close. They won’t share any thought because their own thoughts were the only privacy they could have.

  Keep in mind this is NOT the actual NBA, this is the player’s union. Still a huge thing, though.

  This. They need some form of actual income, and ad revenue gives them theoretical capital to loan against.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you also thought of the idea that maybe she’s masking some of those symptoms around you? A lot of the language in your post seems judgmental, if just ignorant. It could be she’s willing and able to internalize those symptoms around you or other people in order to make her life easier - lots of us do it around family because a LOT of parents wind up coming out of the gate sounding like you, and it’s easier to just go “look I’m fine” rather than have to justify our diagnosis constantly.

  Autism, especially what used to be considered “high functioning” autism like Asperger’s, isn’t always a “constant” feeling of these symptoms anymore than an average schizoaffective person or someone with BPD or someone with bipolar is constantly experiencing their own symptoms. You have good days, you have bad days, and you have triggers and sometimes you can nut up even on the bad days and go to work or school or whatever. Autistic people aren’t constantly Rainman-ing their way through life, or constantly reenacting Sheldon from Big Bang Theory or whatever your popular conception is.

  You’re already saying “she’s mostly not off”, so why is it so hard to believe that she has this disorder, or that it’s hard to take the next step and say “huh, she says that the medicine really helps and makes it easier for her, so I’ll believe her on that.”. I understand wanting the best and worrying about things like chemical dependency, but her doctor should be - and almost certainly IS - monitoring for this at regular checkups.

  Honestly, I can see that. A lot of suicides are spur-of-the-moment, and the more a person has to actively work at it, the less likely they are to actually follow through on the attempt. Even just those couple seconds of working at it to get a whole box of blister packs open could be enough for a lot of people to stop, think, and say “actually wait”.

  He had to be in it because they filmed in his hotel. Imagine Paris Hilton wanting to be in a film because part of the movie is shot in a Hilton. It wasn’t enough that everything in that hotel is labeled “Trump”, he had to show up and have a speaking role because otherwise you might forget who the hotel belongs to.

  God I miss Wind Waker. Still waiting for that HD remaster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YOLO⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The answer as to why is in the abstract: dude was flying on coke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meanwhile Ball⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because Hitachi was embarrassed about their innocent personal massager being used for such unwholesome activities. Literal PR move.

  This is why you do not put bits you would like to keep attached anywhere near a powered rotating spindle.

  Can’t look too Old, because then your audience might not take you seriously. Mid-20s at BEST, unless you can look Old And Erudite, in which case you might be able to pull off mid-40s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"enjoy the show"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, early antifascists kinda sucked too. It didn’t help that the leader of the SA was openly gay, so a lot of antifascists latched onto that as an attack and a rallying cry.

  People are gored by bison at Yellowstone every year. When I visited a few years ago, the rangers were actively having to tell people to avoid an elk who, with his harem, had decided to hang out in Fort Yellowstone for a couple days. People are dumb, or don’t think “wow that’s a 600+ lb animal the size of a minivan”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Holy shiiiiit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference is that Dwyer did it on live television, in a highly publicized press statement. Cameras didn’t cut away.

  I was about to say, just from the few BD toys I can identify, that’s an easy $4-600 depending on size.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even into the later series, people had to fight to do interesting things with it. IIRC the network was skittish about Voyager because nobody would possibly be interested in a scifi show with a female lead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically it’s a cipher, BUT it’s also perfectly constructed to work as a language (by making the cipher easier - vowels only get replaced with vowels, consonants with consonants).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a real language, it’s just German spoken by a person with a head injury /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s xAI joins race to build ‘world models’ to power video games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From what we’ve seen of him playing Path of Exile, basically, yeah. As expected from most rich assholes, he wants the prestige of being good at a game, but wants to shortcut the whole part in between where you’re not good YET.

  They weren’t making bombs, apparently they manufactured explosive filler for 155mm artillery shells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More specifically, the story has to MEAN nothing. It has to curve REALLY CLOSE to interesting ideas and statements only to swerve away just before they actually make you think about a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is a real post from the official DHS account on X⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Whitewashed tombs” comes to mind.

  They might’ve had one (or several) bad experiences and this is a trauma response, but even in that case, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say “yeah sure they’ll pay their own way, I just feel safer if we have a second pair of eyes I trust in the restaurant/cafe/etc with us”. Like, you don’t gotta be at the table, but I kinda get it for the first date or two being “hey I trust this person, mind if they tag along and grab a drink at the bar to be my watchman or whatever”.

  Just play City of Heroes. It’s still running in private servers, and Homecoming is even doing active development on new powers and questlines.

  Massaging your stats to make them say what you want is basic statistics 101.
