You have the potential to do the funniest thing right now: hire Michael Kovach to be Arakniss's voice.

Honestly, they could do a whole series on just Charles Guiteau (Garfield's assassin) alone. The man's life story reads like a comedy of errors that ends in murder.

McFadden is playing Guiteau. I wonder if we'll get a scene near the end of him reciting 'I Am Going to the Lordy' on the scaffold like the real Guiteau did.

At first I thought you'd seen 'the animation'. Yes, that one. The one everyone in the fandom has been losing their minds over for the last couple of days....but yes, TLOU is amazing.

So question: do you think that Francis copied or plagiarized any of the book from Zelda?

It's social media, Viv. It basically brings out the worst in every person who takes part in it, and the algorithms are basically programmed to push hate for clicks. A lot of these younger folks haven't really gotten their heads around that yet.

Just like with Trump, the secret to Buzz Windrip's (the dictator in the book) success is both his crass vulgarity, his shotgun of lies, and his ability to appeal to the worst impulses in people. Just like Trump, he gives people an excuse to give in to their dark side.

Seriously? The menu is like the size of friggin War & Peace and THAT's the item they decide to drop?!

And see, he's not even unique in that regard: Henry Ford was the ur-example of this kind of thing. He was a brilliant engineer who helped create the first affordable mass-produced automobile...and was completely and demonstrably book dumb on just about every other subject. This was proven in court.

I'm essentially just waiting for Elon to ban me. Honestly, it's rather liberating because I know Bsky is here.

Take out the bacon and I'll have Wendy's.

Sing it with me, everyone: "I'm traveled this whole world of ours from Barnsley to Peru..."

Published by Julius Streicher, the founder of Der Sturmer. Basically teaching hate to two different generations of Germans.

But yes, the game is amazing. I played it back when it originally came out in 2019 and it made every other game that year seem lesser in comparison (just like with BG3). It truly is that damn good.

A lot of people have already suggested, but I'll also say: Lavender Tea is good, and if nothing else works get some mild sleep medication like Tylenol PM.

In the ear. DIRECTLY in the ear.

I remember when I once saw the hc version of Alpha & Omega on a bookstore shelf, I thought: "Oh god, has he also fallen down the End Times rabbit hole?". Of course, then I read it and realized it actually had a solid point to make.

I keep telling my fellow Leftists that Marxism-Leninism is a dead ideology....

I'm 5' 11' and I do this all the time. This is especially an issue in some stores where the top shelves often have product shoved all the way to the back. It's just a common courtesy.

I don't see no salsa verde. It's not complete without it.

No, we ARE 'Marxist Socialists'. What you just described is milquetoast Social Democracy. Everything you just posted is absolute nonsense.

Sorry, I'm a Southerner. I get a little formal.

A Boer Nazi being a Boer Nazi, I suppose.

So the gentleman responsible for this is neither a recent refugee nor an angry young man; he's a 50-year old doctor from Saudi Arabia who has been living and working in Germany since 2006.

The 2nd Amendment only protects those who the state does not deem a threat. It's not a right, it's a privilege that can be taken from you.

Freedom for whom? To do what?

It's kind of sad to realize the damage that Twitter has done to all of us X-pats when many seem to think this was a serious post.

I think some parts of the Holiday Special are rather nice.

The man is Boer to the core. That kind of racist paranoia is hardwired into him.

Thomas Paine believed in a powerful central government and advocated for UBI.

Same. Somebody has to be there to keep the place from turning into a TOTAL cesspit.

Welcome to the club. It's getting bigger every day.

Don't worry, Viv. We're here with you. Don't be discouraged, and if it makes you feel better: most of the fandom is doing its part to keep the leaks from spreading.
