I don't understand why so many of you still seem to have the idea that there are consequences to their actions. What do you think they could have done that would result in anything happening?

From everything you've said about this job, it seems like a totally safe bet that the worst case, as long as you don't burn bridges along the way, is that the new position doesn't work out and they welcome you back to your old spot where you've been consistently excellent. I think you've got a...

I just love that Musk is too 14-year-old-edgy to wear a red cap. Gotta print one in black for him, recognizable symbol be damned.

Seeing BC swing conservative gives me absolutely zero hope that the country isn't going to do the same. My only real hope is that the swing back after they start fucking everything up for all of us is fast enough that there's something left to salvage. I genuinely don't think it's going to be...

The Conservative government is realizing that the anti-Trudeau sentiment federally is giving them totally free reign to be as corrupt as they want without risking their re-election chances. The normal (barely present) attempt to disguise their corruption and contempt for voters is just gone now...

I don't think there's anything you could choose to be that wouldn't let you fill out a reasonably balanced team with companions. They've got a solid spread of different options between them, and the highest difficulty is the only one that really demands that you try to build optimal characters...

Yep, I mostly agree with Frank. Unless you're on the highest difficulty there's plenty of room to figure out what works well and get through the game. I don't think I even tried to look anything up until the third chapter of the game, and that was just because it was doing a Mass Effect style...

Right, and that's what I mean about the culture/technology shift - at that point the information about the groups and the members was limited to what, monthly magazines and maybe a spot here and there on whatever entertainment TV programs might have wanted it? There just wasn't room for the...

I was in middle school for the big Backstreet Boys/*Nsync craze, and I promise you that teenage girls (and boys!) were very much aware of and interested in individual members as well as the group as a whole. If we'd had the culture and technology to support terminally-online efforts to "follow"...

It's all the elements that made the Backstreet Boys or *Nsync or the Spice Girls huge, combined with the wildly unhealthy encouragement of parasocial relationships with the members. I'm absolutely not surprised that it works as well as it does, though I wouldn't have guessed it'd be kpop that...

Finished it and changed my mind - there's no "nearly" in the "unwatchable." What an absolute garbage mess they made of these characters and their motivations, relationships, and arcs. Seriously, for anyone thinking about watching this for closure or whatever, don't do it. Pretend that at the...

Update: I'm working my way through episode 5 and this is damn near unwatchable. What an absolute waste of what could have been a great show.

The recap of the previous seasons had me actively wondering if I missed a season somewhere along the way, season 3 left such a weak impression. Was hoping season 4 would at least clear that bar and do something memorable, even if it was drowned in other nonsense.

I've watched half of the final season of Umbrella Academy so far, and it's just making me sad. The whole thing feels like they had no ideas for how to wrap it up and they're scrambling to fill time - which is even worse when it's only a 6 episode season to begin with. All of the characters have...

Silly Dave, don't you know those luxury bones are only for the rich?

I think it's interesting how much he feels the need to emphasize that his comic (and other content?) was available FOR FREE like that was a sacrifice of some kind on his part and not the business model he was working under. I bet he's genuinely convinced himself that his audience would have...

I would swear we've had another bot responding to this specific thread with at least partially identical wording to that post. That "Having a dedicated thread for mental health issues sounds like a great idea—it could really help to have a space where we can all share and support each other...

The top left picture shows him following the group.

Hard to justify a "Canadian teams have no hope" when Edmonton just went to game 7 of the finals? Tax law is definitely an advantage, but Canadian media definitely loves to overstate it.

Jack Black is definitely pro-Biden and anti-Trump, and there definitely are legitimate reasons for him to cancel or postpone the tour and/or make a statement that he's not supporting the comments Gass made. I think to a lot of people though, he's crossing a line by throwing his long-term...
