I’ve never felt any need to use it. It doesn’t do anything my daily driver doesn’t except be a handheld console, and I don’t go anyplace where portability is needed. I bought it because it was a cool new tech thing, but I’ve never found a use for it.

I’ve played my Steam Deck exactly once since I bought it when it first released.

It absolutely needs accordion.

Sounds like the taste of your own medicine is bitter indeed.

Wow, this is news to exactly nobody.

Please stop acting appalled at Russia as if they follow any sort of rules. If they could launch unarmed infant Red Cross journalists to drop down in parachutes strictly to shoot them with white phosphorous, they would without hesitation. There’s no war crime they won’t commit. There’s no rule they won’t break. There’s no line they won’t cross. They’ve proven this fact at every opportunity.

Get voting sheets to list the candidates’ pronouns and the problem will immediately resolve itself.

Pretty much every shonen jump series, but One Piece above all.

Theft has a very strict legal definition. Piracy is not legally theft. It is legally infringement, a separate crime. Conflating one with the other is propaganda by the largest IP holders.

These largest IP holders want nothing more than to lock up all culture and rent it back to you for a price, indefinitely. They would happily steal from you without a moment’s hesitation. In fact, they have stolen from you. They’ve successfully extended copyright terms to an absurd length, preventing works from entering the public domain for decades.

Many of these IP holders also don’t care about preservation. They’ll happily let their works be lost to history. Some are actively fighting against preservation.

Is it immoral to infringe? Yes. But IP holders don’t have the moral highground. They’re just as bad, if not worse. (I’m talking about the multi billion dollar companies here, not the small business persons struggling to get by)

Elon Musk doesn’t have the balls to do that.

Anything to do with space. I’m so sick of hearing about what newly observed thing has scientists baffled and is definitely absolutely unquestioningly hyper advanced intelligent extraterrestrials.

I’m glad to see some light being shined on the taint rather than it all on the asshole.

He’s a business owner that sells lumpy pillows who dove headfirst into the alt right deep end during the Trump era. He’s also involved in the 2020 election interference and is angry that he’s found out after fucking around.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: There are some creative choices I question, but it doesn't try to tell its own interpretation like some live action adaptations. It's probably about as true to source as you're going to get in a live action series. After your initial recoiling of live-action anime, you'll most likely start to enjoy it.

How does one fall short of nothing?

Every action taken without repercussions emboldens their next.

It’s been awhile since the last feast, so the rich are losing their fear.

Active evil vs passive evil.

What’s the difference between puppy-chippers and starving out families with policy changes?
