Prologue is boring. Rest of the game is much less so; doesn't mean a person wouldn't find the gameplay boring, but the prologue's pacing is woeful compared to what can be done in the rest of the game.

ANDS_

If true, this would have been immediately reported by SpaceX when this first dropped.

. . .and even if true, given the implications it almost certainly wouldn't have been some unilateral decision made after a night of ketamine use.

ANDS_

Musk is less stupid than willfully ignorant.

ANDS_

How would anyone get that out of a single "Huh. . .?"

. . .also, literacy should definitely be encouraged at home and there are too many parents offloading the responsibility of education on to the schools, but the majority (overwhelming I would guess) of parents are not trained pedagogues who are able to determine if, where and why students are failing.

ANDS_

Their close relations have horror stories about the current state of education in the United States and thus they are looking at taking their own child's education in hand.

. . .also, irony.

Is this the issue? I've been using the Static Trap for MA really well with bunches of enemies as great AoE essentially, but yeah at night its basically impossible to get the lock-on to work regardless of whether you've got the lantern going.

. . .but that doesn't mean daytime is any better. It's wildly frustrating as there's nothing in game that suggests how its meant to work as other abilities work exactly as you'd expect at range (even when at night).

"They're not deadlocked, the front-most bus could jus. . .it's not like the right-most bus couldn't back up without hitting the front bus and. . .okay, but can't the front vehicles just rever. . .make a u-turn. . .ish.

. . .alright they're a bit deadlocked."

ANDS_

It isn't and I'm beyond floored at just how dumb a lot of this is.

. . .that said Kelly Loeflfer does have an oddness about her which I think is the point of this pretty petty meme.

ANDS_

Saw Level 40 and entered with some Lost Rite pieces on Hard Mode: first fight was absurd, and the subsequent Wolf Packs all I was thinking was "Am I doing any damage here. . ." and "Damnit. . .am I really going to have to swap back to Mage in this group?!"

. . .got a weapon for Main and Arisen, including some Tanking pieces, but boy do I think I'm waiting a few on this one.

ANDS_

Why does it seem like "the right people" seem to be going after very "specific individuals?"

ANDS_

I’m old enough to remember when Obama spied on Trump’s campaign and when he also militarized the IRS to go after political opponents like the conservative Tea Party.

Then your whippit habit has caused you to severely over-state objective reality.

. . .like, what would "militarized IRS" even mean in the context of the IRS scandal (which has been investigated to death and which any genuine critic would call a military action).

ANDS_

Why are Americans letting this happen?

May I suggest the next time you pose a question to a country or peoples you're not a part of, don't include this line. It is almost assured that a significant portion of those who voted for Trump did not vote for, or are happy to allow, this (gestures around).

. . .and the answer to your question, as the President has made clear in action and words time and time again, yes, this is an example of the President abusing his office to persecute political, professional and personal enemies.

ANDS_

I still can't believe how much ridiculous overhype that GTA gets.

You genuinely don't understand how the next game from the developer of the 2nd and 3rd best selling games of all time is getting so much oxygen?

. . .really.

ANDS_

Clearly didn't sample properly.

ANDS_

but if you support biological males in women's sports

Who is supporting literal biological males in women's sports? No one but folks who are being dishonest about the conversation.

. . .and are typically to be the same ones dishonest about others (like intentionally conflating sex and gender).

ANDS_

Was it more than not wanting trans women in women’s sports?

. . .and what was her stated (or one of her stated) reasons for not wanting trans women in sports?

ANDS_

"It needs to spell out. . .'Great Pig'. . ."

. . .there's a reader right there.

ANDS_

This has to be a nostalgia issue, since I didn't grow up with this show and so it's feels like a cursed adaptation of the source material.

It is actually pretty accurate for the stories told at the time.

ANDS_

The TV show definitely took the camp up a notch, but the comics code had already done a number on what you could have in comics and Adam West's Batman merely adapted that tone.

. . .as a kid it was great (when they reran these with the release of Burton's Batman films).

ANDS_

What exactly is an accusation of "white saviorhood" elaborating on? You are in fact not elaborating on anything, but instead adding an accusation instead of challenging the evidence offered against your original charge of white supremacy.

ANDS_

So anybody that isn't fucking kids gets a pass?

I mean. . .you set the bar at "PDP is a nazi" which someone responded to, "While vile, dropping the n-bomb doesn't clear that bar."

. . .like, just explicitly call out the controversial behavior without dropping "Oh he's a nazi" (and providing zero context) and then getting tightened up when folks push back.

ANDS_

Well. . .no, that's not what you said and this isn't a retort to what you are responding to.

ANDS_

As an American I've only experienced Bollywood through its impact on Western media so. . .not really?

ANDS_

After all, he appears to be siding with wife over skipping dad's birthday party.

This right here. . .like, there's no details of any outreach whatsoever to the son and his response to not showing up for the dad's birthday after he begins a grandfather and son becomes an uncle and newlywed.

. ..also I'm blown away at how there's no "is this AI" posts because this just reads like a B-Story in an HBO dramedy.

ANDS_

So was he or not?

Come on. . .
