Ugh, you guys are no fun

Lol what if that’s not what I’m best at

That’s still helping my boss though

You must be a professional at missing the point, because you’re very good at it

Do you generalize everything this way, or is it just dogs that you’re moronic about

Dawg you can shine a lightbulb at a solar panel and it’ll generate electricity. Them shits don’t care, a photon’s a photon

Pocahontas in space actually. But also Dances with Wolves but with big blue furries

The death threats were shitty, I agree. But they were at least partially fueled by the fact that we have lawmakers trying to make it illegal to use an operating system that doesn’t ask for your age. If that systemd change was introduced in a different time, I doubt people would have even noticed or cared.

Not trying to excuse the death threats, because again, that’s shitty, there’s no reason to do that. I think it’s important to understand the context and nuance around all that though.

Sure, make it an optional field that you can fill in with whatever. Don’t make laws requiring it though.

Kinda tough sell to release a $70 game, then leave it up to the modding community to finish it for you

A game can be either great or awful, with no more room for meh games.

I think it’s more just that expectations are much higher for a AAA studio like Bethesda. They built so much hype and asked for nearly $100 at launch for a game that didn’t live up. There’s plenty of meh games out there, they’re just priced accordingly. There’s also a ton of really great games out there priced way lower than what AAA studios are asking. I think it’s very fair to hold those studios to a standard that reflects the prices they’re charging.

It’s a fraction dude. I promise it won’t hurt you

He didn’t study until he was 33, he lived with his parents until he was 33.

IDK, that sounds like a fun twist to me

You could maybe get a mechanical engineering degree, but CNC machining is pretty specialized, so a college curriculum might not be all that relevant. There are apprenticeship programs for that kind of thing though

Sure, but it’s reasonable to stop going to the restaurant because of the chef’s political stance or personal opinion.

Is your point that we should be mad at the media specifically? That would be a pretty stupid point

Torrenting her work keeps it in the zeitgeist, and implicitly encourages others to purchase her media. If we truly want to stop J.K. Rowling from amassing any more wealth, we have to stop consuming her media.

Edit: I’m not sure why the one downvoter downvoted, but if it’s because you think it’s too hard to just stop consuming Harry Potter media and products, I promise you, it’s not

I’d love to live in an apartment block like that. Different strokes for different folks, you know?

Stuff like this is why I like my DM so much. He has basically a “common sense” time for stuff like this where if an action makes good common sense within the world he’s built (like a warrior type being able to punch someone after swinging a sword, or a brawler type being able to use both their fists without having to have some esoteric attribute attached to their character sheet), it’s allowed, and you can roll for it.
